27 Feb 2013: Pope Benedict XVI’s final
farewell
http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/02/27/pope:_final_general_audience_%28full_text%29/en1-668724
“…When, almost eight years ago, on April
19th, [2005], I agreed to take on the
Petrine ministry, I held steadfast in this certainty,
which has always accompanied me. In that moment, as I
have already stated several times, the words that
resounded in my heart were: “Lord, what do you ask of
me? It a great weight that You place on my shoulders,
but, if You ask me, at your word I will throw out the
nets, sure that you will guide me” – and the Lord
really has guided me. He has been close to me: daily
could I feel His presence. [These years] have been a
stretch of the Church’s pilgrim way, which has seen
moments joy and light, but also difficult moments. I
have felt like St. Peter with the Apostles in the boat
on the Sea of Galilee: the Lord has given us many
days of sunshine and gentle breeze, days in which the
catch has been abundant; [then] there have been
times when the seas were rough and the wind against
us, as in the whole history of the Church it has ever
been - and the Lord seemed to sleep. Nevertheless, I
always knew that the Lord is in the barque [boat], that the
barque of the Church is not mine, not ours, but His - and He
shall not let her sink. It is He, who steers her: to be sure, he
does so also through men of His choosing, for He
desired that it be so. This was and is a certainty
that nothing can tarnish. It is for this reason, that
today my heart is filled with gratitude to God, for never did He
leave me or the Church without His
consolation, His light, His love….”

27 Feb 2013: FiveDoves 16 years :)
Feb 27, 1997 until
Feb 27, 2013 = 16 years = 5844 days… the 5844th
verse of the NT :
2Co 10:17 But he that
glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Happy Birthday!

(Jared was 527
when Enoch was taken. The golden ratio (to the 5th
decimal point) is 1.61803. 527 x (1.61803^5) equals the
number of days in 16 years (5844).

Keep on John,
Thank you so much! Thank you Lord Jesus for Your Grace!
Perhaps… now in
the 17th we’ll be ‘in Jerusalem’…
May our Lord Jesus
richly bless you and your ministry and
all them also
that love his appearing!
Surely,
“…there have
been times when the seas were rough and the wind
against us, as in the whole history of the Church it
has ever been - and the Lord seemed to sleep.
Nevertheless, I always knew that the Lord is in the
barque [boat], that the
barque of the Church is not mine, not ours, but His -
and He shall not let her sink. It is He, who steers
her…”
Amen! Maranatha!
Come Lord Jesus!
Behold,
I am
coming soon!
