Ecumenism
Ecumenical attitude of the mind
Whoever is able to truly pray and love, does not separate things. He also does not separate the righteous from the sinner, but embraces everyone with the same kind of love and judges nobody. Philokalia (Eastern Orthodox)
Living a life of faith is first of all a matter that is near to ones heart: «You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.» This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: «You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets». (Matthew 22, 37- 40)
Whoever loves truly is able to do good deeds.
Our conviction
Every human was created by God.
During all times, our heavenly Father is sending his messengers to all peoples to help them.
All across the earth there are places of grace created by God.
God does not ask: In which faith did you grow up?
He asks: Did you love? Did you put your awareness into practice? Believing will make you free.
That means inner freedom and joy.
Faith without mysticism is a dead faith.
Every world religion is a way to find God
Some paths are longer and more arduous, with more stages than the direct route. Christ said in John 14:6, «I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.» The final stretch of the journey home to the Father always leads through Mary to Christ and thus through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the real presence of Christ.
Enlightening Introduction
If we are willing to open ourselves up to the light, we are often faced with obstacles. People need a sustainable foundation, not only in the professional career but also on their spiritual way in order to develop and grow.
The first commandment says: «Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.» Thus, being a Christian starts within our heart, within our soul. Therefore, our soul should be fathomed, cared for and nourished to its furthest. This is the teaching from the spiritual father Paul.
For everyone who was able to witness the introduction by Paul Kuhn, his powerful words were cause enough to plough up the field of ones soul and to pluck up the courage to change your life. Paul did not teach anything that he himself did not experience or go through. Thus, many can take him as a great role model and example. His great knowledge that he conveyed founded on a hard school of life, connected with strict trials. Through God’s dispensation he was led into great hardships in order to be a friend and helper for those who are seeking help.
Distinctive features of true areas of enlightenment
True areas of enlightenment are always open to everyone. There are no commitments regarding membership, voluntary work, taxes or any other charges. That means:
Enlightenment is given away without any earthly conditions.
Every seeker receives spiritual nourishment and graces so that he can develop freely and happily.
Humility and love are decisive indications for a true bond with God. The way that is shown may never claim to be the only true way!
As Christ 2000 years ago appointed fishermen and tax collectors, through all the centuries modest and humble men were appointed for very important tasks. Nobody can appoint himself!
Whereto, O Man?
Whereto o man have you been born, into this dark and evil time,
What is your soul chosen for and where lies its blessedness?
You are here on earth as a human, as a seeker.
You are predetermined to find God’s shepherd and herd, before the time of grace is melting away.
God’s voice can call you if you trust this advice.
You shall be searching for your house in heaven, not glory and honour and proud deeds.
As you live you will die. Death does not want to be fear and struggle.
And as you sow so shall you reap, because heaven’s seed is strong and pure.
Thus, you find your way to the gates of heaven, which are open to the true Christian.
You will be led to the place which God has chosen for you.
St. Uriel
Extracts from Paul’s Teaching
A couple of extracts from his teaching want to reflect the deep impressions of the shown way to enlightenment:
People nowadays are looking above all for materialism. They can only believe what they can see and grasp. Who believes nowadays still in the supernatural? Who still beliefs in the existence of heaven and angels, great and powerful spirits from God? Today’s human want to enjoy themselves, to amuse themselves. They want to enjoy life. We are allowed to enjoy, but in God’s purpose. Unfortunately, God’s purpose was lost for many people.
«God created men in his image and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.» Yes, the soul is very important. We humans consist of body, spirit and soul. All three parts need care and nourishment. For your body you are certainly doing everything. But what are you doing for your soul? You might tell me: «I’m going to church, I’m praying, I’m reading in the Bible.» Maybe I would have to tell you: That’s not enough. More is required! It especially requires more wisdom from God, in order to understand God’s word from God’s point of view.
I’m showing you a way. On this way you may find in abundance. But the way which I can show you is narrow and steep. Christ taught: «Broad is the way that leads to destruction, narrow is the gate to heaven. There are few who find it.» No matter in which religion you grew up, everyone is welcome here! Religion is the basis. We overcome the hurdles of life with this foundation. The soul is something divine. It should be God’s temple within us. It should be beautiful, shining and light-emitting. Thus, we can approach the true light, Jesus Christ, because light attracts light.
The Holy Spirit can only work through a beautiful, noble and pure temple of the soul. Therefore, it is our task to purify our soul and to mould it beautifully. The spoken word is registered in our soul. Also, everything we hear consciously is registered in our soul. Whatever is good, nourishes the divine power within us. If our soul is filled with positive conversations and noble thoughts, God’s strength becomes vivid within us. However, if our soul is filled with negative conversations, lies and defamation, negative feelings rise to my consciousness and dominate me.
Why do humans always have to think and speak negatively about others? From this day onwards only positive thoughts should dominate us. Christ said: «Pray without ceasing.» He wants to tell us that from morning until evening we should cultivate good thinking. All the good thoughts, which are saved within us, activate wonderful feelings – godly feelings. Negative feelings, however, destruct and make us ill.
We are guided very strongly by our spiritual emotions. Therefore, it is crucial that we become aware of our feelings and thoughts. Diseases come from negative feelings. Christ healed sick people. «Not I have healed you, your faith has helped you. Go and do not sin anymore!», he said to the healed. Sins burden our souls. A burdened soul makes the body sick.
Charisma
Every place of grace is founded on people called by God. Due to their charisma they are role models in spiritual life. The fruits of their ministry confirm the genuineness of the vocation.
Over 40 years ago, Paul Kuhn was called in the middle of his active life as a gardener to guide others on their way to spiritual development. To help him with this task, Maria Gallati and later on Ulrich Aeberhard were put at his side with special charismas.
Charisma means the gift of proclaiming God’s will as a serving mediator to the people, just as it happened at all times, in accordance with Jesus’ promise: «I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you.» (John 14,18) and: «But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you» (John 14,26).
Everyone who is spiritually growing needs introductions and guidance. This need is satisfied at places of grace, where called mediators pass on revelations from the light. Nobody can deliberately choose this calling or consciously strive for it but rather it is given from heaven to chosen people. Often, it means an intrusion in the personal destiny of the person concerned and comes with many needs and suffering.
The genuineness of the calling proves itself in the ability to obey God’s will, despite personal persecution and defamation, and to convey the pure teaching undistorted to all people. In this sense, all priests and chaplains from all churches are called instruments from God. They are mediators of grace for all people.
For over sixty years Ulrich Aeberhard received revelations through God-led writing. According to the Great Bible Guide (Droemer-Knaur publisher) this is a form of revelation where an enunciator is transferred to divine spirit independent of his will or intellect. The enunciator, as an instrument called from God, writes without his own will, guided by the divine spirit. Thus, the biblical scriptures originated through the divine afflatus. Therefore, they are not texts composed or made up by humans.
In the second Epistle of Peter it is written: «For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.» (1,21).
In this way, mankind was led at all times by God’s Spirit; even in our days, just as it happened at the Place of Grace St. Michael through the charismatic ministry of Paul Kuhn until his death in 2002. For 39 years, the St. Michael’s Association was guided through direct revelations from high heavenly angels and the Blessed Virgin Mary. For 24 years the Holy Archangel Michael spoke to the church attendees by speaking through God’s instrument Maria Gallati. These purest announcements are recorded on tape and in written form. Her successor, Ulrich Aeberhard, received a wide range of revelations. His hand was guided by angels from God and he was writing without using his intellect. On 16 January 1988 Maria Gallati died and on 30 September 2003 Ulrich Aeberhard died as well at the age of only 61 after a severe suffering. An immense treasure of purest heavenly gifts is waiting to be heard or read in awe by the people in order to renew themselves from inside in the Christian faith. The occurrences at the Place of Grace St. Michael are comparable to the ecclesial development of the early Christians.
Quotes from revelations
During almost four centuries, several thousands revelations from high heavenly spirits were received at the Work of Grace St. Michael. Each revelation serves for the elatedness of the soul. The prophecies are warnings out of great love. All prophecies together are an immeasurable treasure and are a sign of God’s love for his children.
All prophecies start with the angel’s salutation «Benedicite» – we greet and praise the Lord – and with the benediction in the name of the Holy Trinity:
Benedicite! I bless you in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son and in the name of the Holy Spirit.
Love is God’s first commandment. Even if we are sinful but carry love within us, God will forgive us again and again.
In the end, only love counts. Those who stay in the love of Christ, receive the most beautiful graces. Great will be the joy when we will be able to see all our acts of love in terms of light, warmth and happiness. If you did your acts of love with a humble heart, their fruit is eternal joy and continuous sight of God.
You can hardly imagine how many negative thoughts were erased thanks to your acts of love. If your life is love, your afterlife will be light; if it was hate, it will be darkness.
Demand more of yourself than of your neighbour. Thus, you are true role models and you have true friends.
Seek to perfect yourself and not your neighbour! Thus, you will receive great strength and through your example you will serve for the salvation of the souls.
Therefore, it is your obligation to support your neighbour in spiritual distress and not to judge him. You should finally learn to be silent! Help to relieve distress through prayer, positive thinking and not through critical thoughts.
You have the weapons of the Holy Spirit in your hands. The strongest weapon is prayer. If a person is able to pray, to truly pray, he will never be lost.
Often, a person is asking for something, thinking that it would be good for him. But only God knows if it is good for his salvation. You should always speak: Lord, thy will be done. Thus the prayer is good and humble.
We, as God’s angels, are there for all people, no matter their faith.
Our Heavenly Mother is there for all people. She is the Mother of Christ. Who does not embrace the Mother, does not embrace the Son.
In this time of material security and wealth, the apparent unfaith became the cause for many distresses and fears. Parents raising their children in unfaith are to be blamed for the suffering of their children. They let their souls become emotionally stunted and withered because of their greed for money and wealth. Everything that served them was more important, and they neglected their most precious good, their children, which were given to them by God. Their punishment will recoil on them as a curse.
Seek for answers in silence and you will receive them. You do not find happiness and harmony in unrest. Only those who brace themselves to their inner voice through great silence, will be happy.
Everywhere evil is threatening. However, the unbelieving soul creates the biggest evil itself, because who does not do anything for the salvation of his soul is lost twice and cannot expect salvation, neither on the body nor on the soul.
Even if not everybody stayed faithful, I, God’s messenger, will stay faithful to you.
Turn of the eras
Whoever opens his heart and asks the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of the Truth), will find in the revelations of enlightenment great insight and truth, but also comfort, strength and vitality. The Holy Spirit is not human spirit or spirit of the time, but pure Word of God. It is heaven’s language for the world.
However, for the human spirit, these revelations are often not comprehensively understandable in their depth. Many revelations, conveyed by different charismatic persons all over the world, talk about a turn of the eras (like mystic Anna Katharina Emmerich, youth minster Don Bosco, Brother Klaus, Hildegard of Bingen and others). These messages form a whole.
Also the revelations from the Place of Grace St. Michael include messages regarding the turn of the eras. Turn of the eras, however, does not mean the end of the world. The revelations from God at the Place of Grace St. Michael, explain the turn of the eras as a renewal of the nowadays crisis burdened, often chaotic world. They bring about a return to original values and the dethronement of materialistic thinking. They put a stop to destroying actions against Creation. Also, they encourage people in finding their way back to ethical and moral values and to unity in faith – in harmony with the cosmic laws.
This renewal is initiated at the Place of Grace St. Michael through meaningful revelations and proves to be a great enrichment of human existence. It is nurtured by the guidance of the light in ecumenical openness and is open to everyone.
Christ will come again in power and glory. However, no prophecy can tell us when this will happen.
We abide by Christ’s word:
«They shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.» (Matthew 24,30) «But of that day and hour knoweth no man, nor the angels of heaven, but my Father only.» (Matthew 24, 36)
