Coincidence? Miracle? Answer to prayer?

Part I:



Dear All,

I have told you in a previous post how our cousin, Didier Lenferna, pushes the spiritual aspect of my book ‘First American Title To Injustice’. I have also already told you about the numerous ‘Clin Dieu’ associated with his mother.

But, are you all ready for this one?

If I were the guys at First American or at Hagens Berman, I would be worried. For there are forces screaming for justice definitely at work here. I believe that those forces are a lot more powerful than Dufficy and/or Hagens Berman and/or I will ever be.

On January 4, 2007, Didier took us to pray on his mother’s tomb. Part of my prayer was: “Dear Lord, I do not know how? I do not know when? But here is an excellent young man who honors his mother. May Marie Rose and many other loved ones in heaven intercede so that all past wrongs affecting our lives on earth may be righted for the greater benefit of all some day.”

On that day, I took a picture of Didier cleaning his mother’s tomb at 9:03 AM. (See post dated January 5, 2007)

God alone knows why on the way out of the cemetery, I was attracted towards another tomb. I decided to take a picture of that tomb at 9:29 AM for whatever reason.

Looking back, If I were to discount the work of ‘Divine Providence’ I would say that I took that picture because the name of the deceased was also Louis! But there are thousands of tombs and dozens of Louis in that cemetery! So why was I drawn to that particular one?



On Sunday January 28, 2007, as you know, there was a lengthy article in the Week End paper on my book: ‘First American Title To Injustice’. The author’s name was not mentioned. Since I had not been interviewed, I had no idea who wrote the article?

On Monday January 29 and Tuesday January 30 we spent all day with our lawyer friend who was here from Seattle for four days only!

So finally yesterday, January 31, 2007, I called the Week End paper and asked for the name of the reporter? When I was put through to him, he told me that his name is Henri Marimootoo. I asked him what had prompted him to write such a detailed article about ‘First American Title To Injustice’? He simply said that he had come across the book, purchased it, read it, liked it and decided to comment on it!
That was the simple answer.

I then remembered the picture I took at the cemetery in St. Jean after we left Marie Rose’s tomb site on January 4, 2007! I asked him if he was related to the Marimootoo family buried in that cemetery? He told me that was his dad! In turn, he asked me how I knew about it or came by it? I promptly related the incredible set of circumstances to him!

Indeed, as I am writing this blog, I just looked at the picture of his dad’s tomb to know how to spell their name and I realize that Mr. Marimootoo’s dad and I not only share the same name with my grand father whose birthday was on January 4th., but his father died on the same date as my mother did on November 18, and my father and Mr. Marimootoo’s dad died at the same age, 84!

Coincidence? Miracle? Answer to prayer?

Who led me to that tomb and then to take a picture of it and to remember that name on January 31? Who led Mr. Marimootoo my book and to write the article?

I believe in Divine Providence. I believe in God. I believe in prayer. I believe in the intercessory powers of our loved ones in heaven. I believe in miracles! Big and small!

I am most thankful to God for opening my eyes to all those coincidences that I choose to refer to solely as miracles and answer to prayer.

I thank God for the multiplicity of miracles in our lives. They keep me going believing that I am on the right track and that I must never surrender.

I thank God for prolonging my life. I thank Him for letting me survive from my cancer surgery, from the side effects of my chemo treatment, from my heart troubles although my blood still boils when I think of First American as represented by Dufficy. I ask God for the necessary hope, faith and courage necessary to persevere in the pursuit of justice for the greater good of all.

I thank all those we love in heaven and on earth for interceding for our family, for standing by me urging me to keep at it until justice prevails hopefully in our lifetime.

Surely, all at First American Title cannot be of Dufficy’s ilk! I pray that some day, someone will delve into my file and justice will be finally served.

The wheels of justice grind slowly but, thank God, they do grind eternally!

For Part II of this fascinating story, consult this blog again over the next few days!

Dear Mr. Leclezio.

Since 3 am, I'm reading nearly all the contents of your blog,and I think ,that all your misfortunes are actually blessings in disguise!
"Qui aime bien chatie bien!" Misfortunes are just God's ways to bring a soul to Him,because,in times of plenty,no one thinks about Him,but in misery,one turns automatically to God!So,the more one gets problems,the more God loves him!...till the day when the lost son will realise of his original residence of eternal splendour.

How did I come across your blog?I searched for Iskcon on Technorati,and it mentionned your encounter with this devotee of Krishna,who was presenting the Society's point of view regarding abortion.
This is internet!Just a series of links,that can lead one to greater truths,like in a labyrinth...and according to your sincerity in your search for God,you will be linked to the right path.
The web is ideal for researching the Truth:so many books and articles present....but also dangerous,as one can choose a false path!
There is a lot of research to be done regarding religion,mainly the Christian faith,that you seem to have faith into.I was also in this faith and prayed intensely to Jesus:I was led to Krishna!
And enjoyed the lifestyle that devotees led:pure vegetarian food,devoid of all sufferings of animals,respect to a religious leader,who gave his life to spread this movement miraculously-Srila Prabhupada-who also was a little David against Goliath,when he dared to preach this pure way of life to the hippies of the 60's:no intoxication of any kind,no meat eating,no sex life except in marriage,no gambling...and made the first disciples in new York.From this,108 centres were created in just 10 yrs!They are now worth billions of dollars!
Maybe you've already met one of these shaven people on airports in US?And bought a book,a Bhagavad gita or some other one?
Or being too busy,you just thought they were a nuisance!
Now you have time to spare,and time to make further reseach in the history of Christianity?From the pure teachings of the Essene Christ,how did Christianity turn into a murdering sect,with inquisitions,forced conversions,killings of millions of opponents...and in the midst of all these scandals,there's still the essence of His teachings: Love God with all your might...
Recently,children abused by christian clergy went to court and got millions of dollars compensations for their ordeals,which were kept under the carpet by high authorities.A google search will inform you of such scandals that's ruining the church,but it's not only the catholic church:most other "religious" organisations are guilty of such behaviour,as well as Iskcon.
So,in order to find the Truth,we should go to the sources,where purity is still present.
I spend most of my time in such research,and have concluded that most religions are genuine at first and then get corrupted as time go by. Most people,though,being illiterate or not informed,have been led and been exploited in history,by "religious" sects,using false words of prophets,and avoiding the propgation of true wisdom.In order to undergo the slae trade,the church declared that negros had no soul....as well as women!And so,with the benediction of the church,who was then all powerful,millions were taken into slavery,and among the exploiters....were your ancestors,of French origins,with their lot of slaves for the sugar industry!
All this karma is to be paid....as no injustice is ignored!Such is God's perfect justice!
Most christians nowadays gladly prays before eating their blood food,ignoring the simple Truth:Thou shalt not kill!
Just go to Youtube and watch the agony of cows and bulls being slaughtered the American way...and if you've got a heart,stop instantly such demonic habit!
How do the young bulls get castrated? Just a sharp knife,go to the back of the animal,well enclosed,and slash:no pain killers at all! Just to stop the males from going too horny!
The young calves are kept in the dark,so as to get a whiter skin,and killed at 6 months old,while the mother has to supply milk with repeaated rapes...
Bon appetit!

In the Kingdom of Heaven,lions,sheep and man live peacefully: is there not a trainig to be done by man to be qualified to go there? Or Jesus will just magically delete all sins?

In every one of us is a pure soul,God loving and wishing to live an edenic life eternally,but evil has entered the heart of man,and has blinded him so much that it's now a big mess,ready for the big one-nuclear war!The conspirors are well active to destroy this beautiful planet....unless.....

the servants of God go into a worldwde action to sue them....and jail them,so as to let this world become a true paradise!
