Luisa Piccarreta (8) 'first place in my Sacramental Heart’, and Fr. Stephen Gobbi 'the triumph of the Eucharistic reign of Christ'

COMMENT:

"That is why I want you always in my Volition, to give you the first place in my Sacramental Heart." (Book of Heaven - Luisa0

Finally, all of his divine power will pour forth from the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and we will then know the joy of living, of savoring, of experiencing all the effects of the paradise which we will have with the triumph of the Eucharistic Reign of Jesus. We will be on this earth, yet we will be beyond it. We will not yet be in heaven - it will be a paradise on earth, which Our Lady is preparing for us through the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in the world. Praised be Jesus Christ!" (The Triumph, The Second Coming and the Eucharistic Reign, Fr. Gobbi, pp. 10-21) 

Following is a beautiful teaching by Fr. Iannuzzi on the Eucharistic Reign of Jesus: 
"The temporal kingdom, therefore, will have at its core, in the hearts and souls of all its faithful, the glorious Person of Christ Jesus who will shine forth above all in the triumph of his Eucharistic Person. The Eucharist will become the summit of all humanity, extending its rays of light to all the nations. The Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, dwelling in their midst, will thus cultivate in the faithful a spirit of intense adoration and worship never before seen. Freed from the deceptions of the contriver, who will be enchained for a time, the faithful will gather around all the tabernacles of the earth to render homage to God - their sustenance, their solace and their salvation." (The Triumph of God's Kingdom…, Fr. Iannuzzi, p. 127)

‘souls before the Sacrament’, 

'in my Volition, to give you the first place in my Sacramental Heart’. 

Book of Heaven Vol 12, July 4 1917.

July 4,1917

The Pains Suffered and the Good Done are Bonds of Union with Jesus. Who Does the Divine Will Lives with Jesus His Eucharistic Life in the Tabernacles.

Continuing in my usual state, I felt myself suffering a little. Moreover, my adorable Jesus, in coming, has placed Himself before me; and it seemed that between Jesus and me there were so many electric lines of communication.Then He said to me:

"My daughter, every pain that the soul suffers is one communication more that the soul acquires. This is because all the pains that the creature can suffer were first suffered in my Humanity, and they took place in the Divine order. Further, since the creature is not able to suffer them all together, my Goodness communicates them little by little. Moreover, as it communicates them, so grow the chains of union with Me, and not only the pains but also all that the creature can do of good. Thus do the links between Me and her develop."

Another day I was thinking of the good that other souls have of being before the Blessed Sacrament while I, poor little thing, was denied this good. Then Blessed Jesus said to me:  

"My daughter, whoever lives in my Will remains together with Me in the Tabernacle and takes part in my pains, in the coldness, and in the irreverence, and in all that souls do in my Sacramental Presence. Whoever lives in my Will must excel in everything. Moreover, she always has the reserved place of honour. Therefore, who receives more good: who is in front of Me, or who is with Me? To whoever lives in my Will I do not tolerate even one step of distance between Me and her, nor division of pains or joys. Perhaps I will have her on the cross, but I have her always with Me.

"That is why I want you always in my Volition, to give you the first place in my Sacramental Heart. I want to feel your heart beating in Mine with my same Love and sorrow. I want to feel your will in Mine, which, multiplying itself in everyone, gives Me with one single act the reparations of all and the love of all. Further, my Volition in yours, which makes your poor humanity Mine, would elevate it before the Majesty of the Father as my continual victim." 

JULY 7, 1917

For Who Does the Divine Will, All the Works of His Life are Present and in Act.

I was merging myself in my sweet Jesus, but I saw myself so miserable that I did not know what to say to Him.

Sidney (Australia), November 21, 1993

Feast of Christ the King

The Glorious Reign of Christ

---

"Beloved children, you are celebrating today the solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, and you are doing this by way of a great cenacle in which priests and faithful of my Movement, coming from other cities of this great nation as well, are taking part.
Your heavenly Mother wants to enfold each one of you in the secure refuge of her Immaculate Heart, to protect you in the time of the great trial and to prepare you to receive Jesus, who is about to return to establish his glorious reign among you.

---The glorious reign of Christ will be above all established in hearts and souls. This is the most precious part of the divine royalty of Jesus. In fact, for this the Word became man and came to dwell among us. For this, the Son made Himself obedient to the Father even to death, the death of the Cross.
Through the Redemption, carried out by Jesus on Calvary, you were rescued from the reign of Satan, set free from sin which is the yoke of slavery under him, and you became children of God, because He has communicated his Love and his very own Life to you. Those hearts renewed by Love and those souls sanctified by grace form then the most precious part of the divine royalty of Jesus.

---The glorious reign of Christ will correspond to a general flowering of holiness and purity, of love and justice, of joy and peace. For the hearts of men will be transformed by the powerful force of the Holy Spirit, who will pour Himself out upon them through the miracle of the Second Pentecost.
And souls will be enlightened by the presence of the Most Holy Trinity, who will produce in them an extraordinary unfolding of all the virtues.

---The glorious reign of Christ will also be reflected in a new form of life in everyone, because you will be drawn to live only for the glory of the Lord. And the Lord will be glorified when his divine will will be perfectly accomplished by each one of you. The glorious reign of Christ will coincide, then, with the perfect accomplishment of the will of God on the part of every one of his creatures, in such a way that, as it is in heaven, so it will also be on this earth.
But this is not possible unless there first takes place the defeat of Satan, the tempter, the lying spirit, who has ever intervened in the history of the mankind in order to lead men to rebellion against the Lord and disobedience to his law.

---The glorious reign of Christ will be established after the complete defeat of Satan and all the spirits of evil, and the destruction of Satan's diabolical power. Thus he will be bound and cast into hell, and the gates of the abyss will be shut so that he can no longer get out to harm the world. And Christ will reign in the world.

---The glorious reign of Christ will coincide with the triumph of the eucharistic reign of Christ, because in a purified and sanctified world, completely renewed by Love, Jesus will be made manifest above all in the mystery of his eucharistic presence.
The   will be the source from which will burst forth all his divine power, and it will become the new sun, which will shed its bright rays in hearts and souls, and then in the life of individuals, families and nations, making of all one single flock, docile and meek, whose sole Shepherd will be Jesus.

Your heavenly Mother is leading you on toward these new heavens and this new earth, a Mother who is gathering you today from every part of the world, to prepare you to receive the Lord who is coming."

Intermedium "As our Holy Father has so often quoted, this millennium will be marked by a 'new springtime in Christianity', will be 'intensely Eucharistic', at its dawn will 'make Christ the heart of the world', and will have as its 'goal and fulfillment…the life of each Christian and the whole Church in the triune God.'

Third Hour From 7 to 8 PM The Legal Supper

O Jesus, You now arrive at the cenacle together with Your beloved disciples and You begin Your supper with them.  How much Sweetness, how much Affability You show through all Your Person, as You lower Yourself to taking material food for the last time!  Everything is Love in You.  Also in this, You not only repair for the sins of gluttony, but You impetrate the sanctification of food.

Jesus, my Life, Your sweet and penetrating gaze seems to search all of the apostles; and also in this act of taking food Your Heart remains pierced in seeing Your dear apostles still weak and listless, especially the perfidious Judas, who has already put a foot in hell.  And You, from the bottom of Your Heart, say bitterly, “What is the usefulness of My Blood?  Here is a soul so favored by Me—yet, he is lost!”

And You look at him with Your eyes refulgent with Light and Love, as though wanting to make him understand the great evil he is about to commit.  But Your Supreme Charity makes You bear this sorrow and You do not make it manifest even to Your beloved disciples.  

Leonardo Giampietrino-Last-Supper-ca-1520

     And while You grieve for Judas, Your Heart is filled with joy in seeing, on Your left, Your beloved disciple John; so much so, that unable to contain Your Love any longer, drawing him sweetly to Yourself, You let him place his head upon Your Heart, letting him experience Paradise in advance.

And it is in this solemn hour that the two peoples, the reprobate and the elect, are portrayed by the two disciples:   the reprobate in Judas, who already feels hell in his heart; the elect in John, who rests and delights in You.

O my Sweet Good, I too place myself near You, and together with Your beloved disciple I want to place my weary head upon Your Adorable Heart, praying You to let me experience the delights of Heaven also on this earth so that, enraptured by the Sweet Harmonies of Your Heart, the earth may no longer be earth for me, but Heaven.

But in the midst of those Most Sweet and Divine Harmonies, I hear sorrowful heartbeats escaping You:  these are for lost souls!  O Jesus, O please, do not allow any more souls to be lost.  Let Your heartbeat, flowing through them, make them feel the heartbeats of the Life of Heaven, just as Your beloved disciple John felt them, and attracted by the Gentleness and Sweetness of Your Love, they may all surrender to You.  

O Jesus, as I remain upon Your Heart, give food also to me, as You gave it to the apostles:  the Food of Love, the Food of the Divine Word, the Food of Your Divine Will.  O my Jesus, do not deny me this Food, which You so much desire to give me so that Your very Life may be formed in me.  

Lamb of God ..

My Sweet Good, while I remain close to You, I see that the food You are taking together with Your dear disciples is nothing but a lamb.  This is a figurative lamb, and just as this lamb has no vital humor left by force of fire, so You, Mystical Lamb, having to consume Yourself completely for creatures by force of Love, will keep not even a drop of Blood for Yourself, pouring it all out for Love of us.  

So, O Jesus, there is nothing You do which does not vividly portray Your Most Sorrowful Passion, which You keep always present in Your Mind, in Your Heart—in everything.  And this teaches me that if I too had the thought of Your Passion before my mind and in my heart, You would never deny me the Food of Your Love.  How much I thank You!

O my Jesus, not one act escapes You that does not keep me present and that does not intend to do me a special good.  So I pray you that Your Passion be always in my mind, in my heart, in my gazes, in my steps and in my pains, so that, wherever I turn, inside and outside of myself, I may always find You present in me.  And You, give me the grace never to forget what You have borne and suffered for me.  May this be my magnet, which, drawing my whole being into You, will never again allow me to go far away from You.

Valtorta 1. The Passover Supper 'I have promised you a miracle of love.'

COMMENT: To His Mother,

Jesus ... takes the thirteenth morsel of bread and the chalice, and He goes out of the Supper-room.

Maria Valtorta

 

p. 504

you may do what I have done. I tell you solemnly: no servant I greater than his master, no apostle is greater than He Who    appointed him.

Try to understand these things. Then, if you understand the and put them into practice, you will be blessed. But not all of you will be blessed. I know you. I know whom I chose. I am not speaking of everybody in the same way. But I say what is true. On the other hand, what has been written concerning Me, is to be fulfiled! "He who eats the bread with Me, rebels against Me". I am telling you everything before it happens, that you may have no doubt about Me. When everything has been accomplished, you will believe even more that I am 1. He who receives Me, receives Him Who sent Me: the Holy Father Who is in Heaven; and he who receives those whom I send, will receive Me. Because I am with the Father an you are with Me ... But now let us finish the rite.»

He pours more wine into the common chalice and before drinking of it and letting the others drink, He stands up, and everybody stands up with Him, and He sings one of the previous psalms again: «I had faith and that is why I spoke ... » and then He sings a psalm that never comes to an end. Beautiful... but eternal! I think I have found it, by its beginning and its length, as psalm 118. They sin it as follows. They sing one part in chorus. Then, in turns, one r cites a

Maria Valtorta

The Poem of the Man-God

Volume 5

508 The Passover Supper

couplet, and the others in chorus sing another part, and s forth till the end. No wonder they are thirsty at the end!

14   Jesus sits down. He does not lie down. He sits as we do. And He says: «Now that the old rite has been accomplished, I will celebrate the new one. I have promised you a miracle of love. It i time to work it. That is why I have longed for this Passover. From now on this is the Victim that will be consumed in a perpetual rite of love. My beloved friends, I have loved you throughout the whole life of the Earth. I have loved you for the whole eternity, My children. And I want to love you till the end. There is nothing greater than this. Bear that in mind. I am going away. But we shall remain for ever united through the miracle that I will now work.»

Jesus takes a loaf still entire and places it on the chalice that has been filled. He blesses and offers both, He then breaks the bread and takes thirteen morsels of it, and gives one to each apostle saying: «Take this and eat it. This is My Body. Do this in remembrance of Me, Who am going away.» He gives the chalice and says: «Take this and drink it. This is My Blood. This is the chalice of the new alliance in My Blood and through My Blood, that will be shed for you, to remit your sins and give you the Life. Do this in remembrance of Me.»

Jesus is very sad. There is no smile, no trace of light, no colour on His face. It is already an agonizing face. The apostles look at Him utterly anguished.

15 

Jesus stands up saying: «Do not move. I shall be back at once. »  

He takes the thirteenth morsel of bread and the chalice, and He goes out of the Supper-room.

«He is going to His Mother» whispers John.

And Judas Thaddeus says with a sigh: «Poor woman!"

Peter asks in a very low voice: «Do you think She knows?» «She knows everything. She has always been aware of

everything.»

They all speak in very low voices, as if they were in front of a corpse.

«But do you think that really ... » asks Thomas, who does not want

to believe yet.

«And do you doubt it? It is His hour» replies James of Zebedee. «May God grant us strength to be faithful» says the Zealot. «Oh! I...» says Peter who is about to speak. But John, who is on the look-out, says: «Silence! He is here.»

Jesus comes back in. He has the empty chalice in His hands. Only at its bottom there is a trace of wine, and in the light of the chandelier it looks just like blood.

Judas Iscariot, in front of whom is the chalice, looks at it as if he were enchanted, then he averts his eyes. Jesus watches him and shudders, and John, leaning as he is on His chest, feels it. «Why not say so! You are shivering ... » he exclaims.

«No. I am not shivering because I am feverish ... 16 I have told you everything, and I have given you everything. I could not have given you anything else. I have given you Myself.»

He makes His usual kind gesture with His hands, which, previously joined, now separate and stretch out, while He bows His head as if He wished to say: «Excuse Me if I cannot give you more. It is so.»

«I have told you everything and I have given you everything. And I repeat. The new rite has been accomplished. Do this in remembrance of Me. I have washed your feet to teach you to be humble and pure like your Master. Because I solemnly tell you that disci­ples must be like their Master. Remember that, bear it in mind. Also when you are in high offices, remember that. There is no disciple greater than his Master. As I washed you, do the same to one another. That is, love one another like brothers, helping and respecting one another, setting an example to one another. And be pure, to be worthy of eating the living Bread that descended from Heaven, and have the strength, in yourselves and through It, to be My disciples in the hostile world that will hate you because of My Name. But one of you is not pure. One of you will betray Me. My Spirit is deeply perturbed by that... The hand of him who will betray Me is here with Me on this table, and neither My love, nor My Body and Blood, nor My word make him mend his ways and repent. I would forgive him going to My death also on his behalf.»

   RESPONSORY

Wisdom 16:20; John 6:32

You fed your people with the food of angels,
bread from heaven, ready to hand,
– source of all delight and satisfying to every taste.

It was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven.
It is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
– Source of all delight and satisfying to every taste.

SECOND READING

From a commentary on the psalms by Saint Augustine, bishop
(Ps. 140, 4-6: CCL 40, 2028-2029)

The passion of the whole body of Christ

Lord, I have cried to you, hear me. This is a prayer we can all say. This is not my prayer, but that of the whole body of Christ. Rather, it is said in the name of his body. When Christ was on earth he prayed in his human nature, and prayed to the Father in the name of his body, and when he prayed drops of blood flowed from his whole body. So it is written in the Gospel: Jesus prayed with earnest prayer, and sweated blood. What is this blood streaming from his whole body but the martyrdom of the whole Church?

Lord, I have cried to you, hear me; listen to the sound of my prayer, when I call upon you. Did you imagine that crying was over when you said: I have cried to you? You have cried out, but do not as yet feel free from care. If anguish is at an end, crying is at an end; but if the Church, the body of Christ, must suffer anguish until the end of time, it must not say only: I have cried to you, hear me; it must also say: Listen to the sound of my prayer, when I call upon you.

Let my prayer rise like incense in your sight; let the raising of my hands be an evening sacrifice.

This is generally understood of Christ, the head, as every Christian acknowledges. When day was fading into evening, the Lord laid down his life on the cross, to take it up again; he did not lose his life against his will. Here, too, we are symbolized. What part of him hung on the cross if not the part he had received from us? How could God the Father ever cast off and abandon his only Son, who is indeed one God with him? Yet Christ, nailing our weakness to the cross (where, as the Apostle says: Our old nature was nailed to the cross with him), cried out with the very voice of our humanity: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

The evening sacrifice is then the passion of the Lord, the cross of the Lord, the oblation of the victim that brings salvation, the holocaust acceptable to God. In his resurrection he made this evening sacrifice a morning sacrifice. Prayer offered in holiness from a faithful heart rises like incense from a holy altar. Nothing is more fragrant than the fragrance of the Lord. May all who believe share in this fragrance.

Therefore, our old nature, in the words of the Apostle, was nailed to the cross with him in order, as he says, to destroy our sinful body, so that we may be slaves to sin no longer.
RESPONSORY
Galatians 2:19-20

With Christ I have been nailed to the cross,
– and I live now no longer my own life,
but the life of Christ who lives in me.

I live by faith in the Son of God
who loved me and gave up his life for me.
– And I live now no longer my own life,
but the life of Christ who lives in me.

CONCLUDING PRAYER

Let us pray.

Lord,
watch over your Church,
and guide it with your unfailing love.
Protect us from what could harm us
and lead us to what will save us.
Help us always,
for without you we are bound to fail.

Luisa Piccarreta 4. Stinginess in Blog. Jesus "Be more generous with Me, therefore, and I will be more generous with you."

COMMENT:

The extract below to the surprising stinginess of Luisa Piccarreta mystic.

It is time to take up a Stingy Blogspot.

Benediction Sunday Lent 2

....my imprisonment in Tabernacles

STINGINESS Blog

And how many times are you yourself stingy with Me? How many times? Either you don't write what I tell you or you don't reveal it: it is an act of avarice that you employ with Me, because every new insight that someone has of Me is one more glory and one more love that I receive from creatures. Be more generous with Me, therefore, and I will be more generous with you. "

this Love, our Love would be without life and without works. Our Wisdom grants the incredible; our Power can crush in one minute and then redo everything the next: but if We did not have a Will that wanted to reveal the mastery of our Wisdom --as it was revealed, for example, in Creation, in which We ordered and harmonized everything and, with our Power, prevented that Creation should change itself even a little=, then neither our Wisdom nor our Power would have had anything to do. And so it is with the rest of our attributes.

"So, I desire that my Will be the soul of the body. A body without a soul is without life: even though it contains all the senses, it does not see, speak, hear, nor act. It is almost something useless and perhaps even unbearable. But if it is animated, how many things can it not do? Yet, how many make themselves useless and unbearable because they are not animated by my Will! They are like electrical plants without light, or cars without an engine, covered with rust and dust and almost powerless to move. Ah, how pitiful they are! So, everything that is not animated by my Will is a life of Holiness that is Jacking. I want to be within you, therefore, like the soul of your body,' my Will will bring 'about new surprises of creations. I give new life to my Love, new works and mastery of

my Wisdom; I give new movement to my Power. Pay attention, therefore, and leave everything to Me so that my great plan may be fulfilled: that the creature be animated by my Will."

Jesus Bound and Alone in the Dark and Gloomy Prison. The Significance of the Three Hours in the Wait for the Dawn, Accompanied by Luisa. His Imprisonment in the Tabernacles. Stinginess Towards Jesus.

29th October 1921 [p29/30]

I passed this night in vigil, and often my thoughts flew to my Jesus who was tied up in prison. I wanted to embrace those knees that were shaking because of the painful and cruel position in which the enemies had bound Him. I wanted to clean away the spittle with which He was soiled ... But while I was thinking about that, my Jesus, my Life, appeared to me in pitch darkness, in whichI could hardly make out his adorable Person.· Sobbing, he said to me:

"Daughter, the enemies left Me In prison alone, horribly bound and in darkness, so that all around there was nothing but pitch dark.. Oh, how this darkness afflicted Me! My clothes were wet from the dirty water of the torrent; I smelled the stench of the prison and the spittle with which I was soiled. My hair was in disarray, and there was no one merciful enough to remove it from my eyes and my mouth. My hands were bound by chains, and the darkness prevented Me from seeing my condition, which was, alas, so sorrowful and humiliating. Oh, what things my sorrowful condition in this prison was communicating! I stayed in prison three hours. In so doing, I wanted to restore the three epochs of the world: the law of nature, 'the written law, and the law of Grace. I wanted to free everyone, reunite everyone, and give them the freedom that belongs to my sons. By staying three hours, I wanted to restore the three stages of man: childhood, youth, and old age. I wanted to restore man when he sins through passion, through will, and through obstinacy. Oh, how the darkness that I saw around Me made Me feel the pitch darkness that sin produces in man! Oh, how I wept for him, saying to him: 0 man, it is your sins that have thrown Me into this pitch darkness, which I suffer so that I can give you light; it is your iniquities that have soiled Me, iniquities that the darkness does not even permit Me to see. Look at Me: I am the image of your sins. If you want to know them, look at them in Me!   

"During the last hour I was in prison, however, dawn broke, and through the cracks a few glimmers of light entered. Oh, how my Heart was relieved in being able to see my sorrowful condition! This light symbolizes what happens when man is tired of the night of sin, and Grace like dawn surrounds him, sending him glimmers of light to call him back. So, my Heart gave a sigh of relief In this dawn I saw you, my beloved prisoner: you who my Love had to tie up in this condition and who would not have left Me alone in the darkness of the prison. Awaiting dawn at my feet and following my sighs, you would. have cried with Me about the night of man. This comforted Me, and I offered my imprisonment to give to you the grace of following Me.

"But the prison and the darkness have yet another meaning: the long sojourn of my imprisonment in Tabernacles and the solitude in which I am left, often with no one to speak to or to give a glance of love. Other times, in the Sacred Host I feel the touch of unworthy tongues, the stench of festering and corrupt hands. There is no one who touches Me with pure hands and perfumes Me with his love. How many times human ingratitude leaves Me in the dark without even the meagre light of a lamp! Thus my imprisonment continues, and it will continue still longer. Since we are both prisoners--you, a prisoner in your bed, all alone for the sake of my Love; Myself, a prisoner for you-s]l want] to bind all creatures with my Love, using the chains that keep Me bound. We will keep each other company, therefore, and you will help Me lay out the chains that will be used to bind all hearts to my Love. "   

Afterward, I thought to myself: “How little we know about Jesus, while He has done so much! Why have they spoken so little about everything that my Jesus did and suffered?"

Jesus, returning once again, added: "My daughter, everyone is stingy with Me, even the good. How much stinginess they have concerning Me, how many restrictions, how many things that I tell them and that they understand about Me that they do not reveal!

And how many times are you yourself stingy with Me? How many times? Either you don't write what I tell you or you don't reveal it: it is an act of avarice that you employ with Me, because every new insight that someone has of Me is one more glory and one more love that I receive from creatures. Be more generous with Me, therefore, and I will be more generous with you. "

The Creature Must Return and Repose in the Bosom of His Creator Where He Came Forth because, in All His Being, He Has Innumerable Bonds with God: THIS IS THE SANCTITY OF THE DIVINE VOLITION.

4th November 1921

I was feeling completely in union with my sweet Jesus. When He came to me I threw myself into his arms, completely abandoning myself in Him, as to my center. I felt an irresistible desire to stay in his arms, and my sweet Jesus said to me:

"My daughter, it is the creature that seeks the bosom of his Creator and that seeks to repose in his arms. It is your duty to come into the arms of your Creator and to repose in his bosom, from where you have come; for you must realize that there pass many electric wires of communication and of union between the creature and his Creator, which make the creature almost inseparable from Me, on condition that he does not withdraw from my Volition. Such a withdrawal means nothing else than to cut the wires of communication, to break union. The Creator's Life, more than electricity, flows within the creature, and it flows within Me. My Life has been sown in the creature: in creating him, I linked my Wisdom to his intelligence, so that it was nothing else than the reflection of my own. If man achieves so much with his science, which brings about the incredible,

it is my own intelligence that is being reflected in his. If his eye is animated by a light, it is nothing else than the reflection of my Eternal Light that is being reflected in him. Among the Divine Persons, We have 110 -need to speak in order to understand each other .. But in Creation I wanted to use the word, and I said 'Fiat', and the things of creation were made. With this Fiat I granted the power so that creatures might also possess the

- word, so as to understand each other. Even human voices, therefore, are connected like an electric wire to my first word, from which all other words derive. While I created man, I breathed upon him with my breath, infusing him with life. I put within him all my

life, to the measure that the human capacity was able to contain it... I put everything in him; there was nothing of my own that I did not make him a part of You see, even man's
