Part First:
The Original Estate of Man
The heart of Man, created to seek for a happiness that can only be sought through willing surrender of itself along the unitive path that ascends into the Heart of God, is a heart made for a happiness that exceeds the limits of the natural.
This excessive longing for happiness created a specific need in Man to bind his excessive desires in the freedoms of Man's original estate.
And the original estate that bound this boundless desire in Man is primarily found in the heart of Woman, formed by God from Man's own excesses to remind Man of what is necessary in himself, to guard his heart and to balance his soul, and be his faithful helper and patient companion in natural life.
It is important to note that this is all purposed before the fall of Man and is a reality distinct from the original state of grace that kept the requisite balance between the material and spiritual aspects that completed the human integrity of our First Parents.
Our original estate as a distinct reality from the original state of our First Parents are the relational requisites that exists primarily between Man and Woman and so consequentially exists also between all of the children of Mankind which were requisites intended by Almighty God to define in our humanity the necessary freedoms between ourselves that shall ultimately lead to absolute happiness in Him.
Where the original state is founded on the presence of God in the life of our First Parents, our original estate is founded primarily in the presence of Man in the life of Woman and so consequentially the presence of family instituted by God for the life of all of the children of Mankind.
The loss of our original inheritance from our First Parents left our humanity weakened and this weakness is the cause of the brokenness within all of our human families and consequently, all of our human communities as well as all of our social constructs e.g. organizations, businesses, unions, associations, cooperatives, etc.
The brokenness within all of our human communities - founded upon the human family - as well as all of our social constructs is a brokenness inherited from the weaknesses in our own shared humanity.
Now, human weakness is individually addressed by faith that leads each human being into the disciplined and proven ways of each and every honorable religion.
But human brokenness must be collectively addressed by the presence of those virtues that guide and empower each free and human act towards the preservation and advancement of the human good as well as the common good.
Both human weakness and human brokenness lead into each other but since we are here concerned with the Rights of Woman, we shall concern ourselves primarily with the latter which is human brokenness and our original estate.
We shall trust that the latter which is human weakness and the original state of our First Parents have already been given to much prior religious thought and spiritual effort inasmuch as the necessary fruits being those good and praiseworthy works which are the direct results of the effective exercise of virtue and the art of its grace are enabled to be produced as commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ of all Christians and by our LORD God of all our nations most especially all of our Abrahamic kindred in faith and promise.

The Common Story of Woman
When we shall speak of the Rights of Women, we must always be mindful of our original estate as human beings. Simply put, our original estate is our original belongings to each other.
As regards to Woman, her heart belongs to Man. Upon Woman, the Almighty God has intended a natural vulnerability which is not intended in any way as a weakness but as an affinity that inspire in her a longing for Man as her protector.
This protection is more than just physical protection, it is also the labors that protect from deprivation of dignity and need as well as the preservation of life, the human good and the advancement of the common good.
What Woman in her vulnerability must naturally seek in Man must be more than just a temporal shelter of strong and able hands but also, the eternal embrace of a steadfast and worthy heart.
After the fall of our First Parents, let us be mindful that this natural vulnerability in Woman was thereafter multiplied a hundredfold by decree of the Almighty God that Woman shall endure the pains of child birth.
This pain is more than just the pain of birth, it is also the enduring of the sorrows and the labors of motherhood in all its stages in exile time. However, the divine intentions behind all of this remain the same which is to strengthen the original estate of Man which is the heart of Man surrendered in God to the heart of a Woman faithful in God to the heart of Man - this is the irresistible dynamic of the complimentary natures of the gender opposites and is the inescapable force that drive the union between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN into one life and one longing, sanctioned by God through wedlock vows and commanded by decree of Divine Providence to eventually lead to its natural consummation which is the sacred transmission of life in the bearing and the rearing of children within the institution of the human family. This is one of the greatest of all authentic human freedoms - the freedom between Man and Woman to choose to receive the gift of each other.
Caught between Man's desire for happiness and the weakness in our humanity is Woman's pain and her longing for the protection of Man and so it has always been the plight of Woman to bear the brunt of the brokenness that is the most common result of the numerous ways that effect in the person of Man, all those erroneous and excessive forms surrender that have sought to establish upon earth, the one Patrimony of our LORD God not as a way of freedom, as in our original estate, but as a means to deprive it first from Woman and then from all of the children of Mankind.
The Paternal Providence of our LORD God is not established by right of gender. For what is corporal gender to our LORD but a means towards our own corporal good? It matters not to God save for the one purpose upon which our LORD conceived of both male and female which is the transmission of human life.
The Paternal Providence of our LORD God is an eternal Office established to provide for all of creation, seen and unseen. It is founded by divine and sovereign right upon the singular mandate of our LORD God to the supreme exercise of a necessary authority of governance over all of creation, seen and unseen, and manifest through the creative ideal of the will of Almighty God invested in the supernatural Office of Divine Providence.
Therefore, if Man desires to provide for Woman through faith in Divine Providence, then Man must provide for Woman not because he is Man but because Woman is Woman and let this natural desire bind their hearts intimately together in the freedom of our original estate as it was originally intended by the Almighty God, the one common Creator of all creation.
For Divine Providence is not by any means an Office of earth which may be freely and humanly aspired to as a form of happiness by any Man in competent command of his own self for the happiness of Man shall, for as long as there is evil in our days, always lead him through Woman for only through Woman may Man be enabled to freely attain to God.
This is the common story of Woman's struggle for her Rights and is one that, were we Men wise enough even for our own sakes, must now be uncommonly attentive to for it is only upon the attainment of the correct form of understanding, drawn from all the many pains endured by Woman, past, present and in every present, that we shall regain the original intentions that were purposed by our LORD God in the establishment of our original estate and restore Man and Woman to the freedom of their original belongings to each other and the derivative forms of the human good as well as the common good that rely completely upon the preservation of this divine balance.

The Rights of Women is an integral part of the Abrahamic Charter of the City of Miyangersjia which I shall post here for our one Solidarity as well as in our Planet Annelies in three parts as a separate work.
Part Second shall include: Our Authentic Human Freedoms and The Honor of Man and the Dignity of Woman.
Part Third shall include: The Rights of Woman, The Question of Equality, The Question of Freedom and the Conclusion.

The one Chaplaincy
The military Chaplain is a servant of God
and a dedicated instrument of the one Peace of God.
He does not bear arms against men
nor does he exists to fight against the nations of men.
He is an extension of the good will of all nations
and a constant reminder of our desire for better days.
He is faithful to the cause of the noble military
being jealous in the observance of honor and purity of arms.
He is a keeper of our sacred remembrances
lending noble strength to the martial practice of virtue.
He is a shepherd of the souls of our soldiers
and represents amidst conflicts our abiding hope for peace.
He labors to instill in every heart, a will of life,
and gives recourse to sorrow when life itself seems lost.
He brings comfort when despair seem to linger near
consoling spirits by his gentle sense of optimism and joy.
He is patient to understand each need to be understood
and leads the anxious heart toward greater trust in greater things.
He brings the light of God when darkness is deepest
and speaks the necessary truth when and where truth counts.
He provides for the spiritual needs of the soldier
and the Sacraments that strengthen them in the grace of God.
He counsels the doubtful, the confused he guides into reason,
he instructs the ignorant in the truth and the lost he helps to be found by faith in God.
He prays for the safety of the person of the soldier at all times, in peace but especially in fields of battle, entrusting to God and Country, the victory of our noble military.

A Responsibility to Remember x
To the Numberless Stars
of the one Firmament -
To the one Solidarity
and all the Preservators
of the Path -
All persons of good will -
Entrusted to our keeping
by our precious Starshine,
the youth of our nations,
most especially those
who suffer much affliction
being in their hearts oppressed
by the curse of War
is an account of their souls,
an unfolding record of their life,
their "Arcs in the Sky".
This they entrust
in faith and confidence
to the unity of our peace
that we may from their voices
perceive what hope there is
and learn from each their life
to deepen our sense of remembrance
that we may better serve
together in our labors
to advance the cause of our hope
towards the promise of peace
and the prosperity of the peace
for every nation of our one family
of the nations of Mankind
that promise of old unto which
we each in our times
chose to forever belong
for God and Country
in time and in eternity.
Know to keep it now,
my beloved friends and companions,
and in our faithful keeping
may we be blessed by our LORD
with an abiding awareness
of the near-infinite potential
of each individual human life
above all our beloved Starshine
who deserve in their own time
a better place in which
to play, to laugh, to learn
to grow, make friends, and to live
that freedom which is their right
as the young and as the youth
far away from war
and the darkness of war.
That awareness which is written
in our sacred wisdoms
that whoever saves one life
saves the world entire -
let also it be, my dear friends,
an awareness true in our hearts
for our precious Starshine.

The Path
IN THE SAME WAY that a tree upon our world is possessed of life, so are we.
In the same way there is a breathing that breathes in the birds in the sky, in the animals upon the land, and in the fishes in the sea, so are we likewise possessed by the same living that make us all peers to sacred life.
For as all things alive in all of creation, seen and unseen, are all things immersed in the unseen waters of an everlasting substance, so are we.
But much more than those green things that grow upon our earth and greater still than the animals that fill our world with motion, we are because to our reason is granted the names and the knowledge of all these things, that they may share our voice, and the faith to apply our hearts to the keeping of our Creator's creative ideal in each our souls that we may by our lives' width and breadth, render sacred service to all of life's longing for itself and preserve our LORD's peace upon the inhabited earth which is the glory of God in all things that make us common servants to our one LORD.
And being equal in the dignity of this free and willing service to our one LORD and to our God's visible creation therefore, friends to each other.
Where we are called as human beings, one with another, to aspire to bring this hope of one Peace unto each of our nations, of the one family of the nations of Mankind, and common good will unto all of sacred life, we are made to be companions to each other, kindred in God and kindred in Country, being recast as the numberless Stars of the one firmament.
In our one Solidarity, this is known as the Path; the way of the Preservator.

Easter 2009: God of my Heart
Beloved of God, the Lenten season that culminates in the Easter Triduum at Holy Week reaches its summit today, Easter Sunday 2009, and I am so grateful to God and to all of you for having taken this journey together as a Church.
My friends, I am of the conviction that the fruit of many good things depend on our being able to continue with our nations, of the one family of the nations of Mankind, this journey of hope we have taken together; a journey that was begun at the blossoming of our lives during that first Easter morning.
These days used to pass me by like the wind, O precious Christian soul, but verily, these last 40 days have taken on a substance and a weight that I can no longer ignore in my life.
For I have now begun to discover that there is no other place in our hearts like Easter! There - here - where our Lord Jesus Christ is risen, once and forevermore - and for all humankind as a whole.
It is to that timeless place in our hearts with our most loving Jesus that we return in our liturgy and in our souls this day - alone yet together in God from always to always.
Lastly, for those who pray our Rosary of hope: This prayer, God of my Heart, is the prayer that is meant to be said with our Blessed Jacinta, our beloved Flower of Fatima, at the end of every meditation:
God of my Heart:
O my Jesus, zealous for souls,
thirsting for the love of Mankind!
Come, be Thou the God of my heart
and accomplish in me Thy will of peace.
A Very Happy Easter to all of Blessed Christendom.
Indeed, it is time for us, as one family of nations, to build a better, brighter, kinder place - a home away from Home - for all the generations of life.
We have so much to do, my friends, this time as nations dreaming together - each our particular endeavor of Country as an ark like the labor entrusted to our patriarch Noah of old, an Ark of Country, a vessel of sacred life to take all the generations of life across the midnight darkness of exile time unto the golden shores of forever at the Last Day.

Ash Wednesday 2009
TODAY is Ash Wednesday.
---<--@
THE SEASON OF LENT begins with a solemn meditation on death symbolized by the ashes that we, Roman Catholics, are to receive this day in crosses upon our foreheads as a somber reminder of the real sum of all things.
We will enter into this Season of Lent with one hope of life together, my beloved friends and constant companions, all my brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord, prayerfully and willingly, bearing patiently with each other the crosses of our daily human living that we may also be able to look forward to the experience from within our souls with God and with each other the one great cycle of all creation at the Easter transformation.
Our 40-day Lenten Journey will take us across the landscapes of the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ from meditations on human suffering, death, the pains of hell, prayer, repentance and penance, fasting, alms-giving, into the glory of the Easter transformation.
