I just wanted to let you know about some interesting developments in the work we are doing, mainly through television, so you can note them on your calendars.
First of all, EWTN commissioned a film crew to do a half-hour “profile in faith” on my journey in following the Lord—something I’ve never done before. They will be broadcasting this program tongiht--Thursday, February 5--at 6:30 pm EST. In this interview, I share at a depth of personal detail that I’ve never shared before. Among other things, it even includes photos of my Irish relatives! Those who have seen it say it has great potential to draw people to Christ as I was drawn to him. Thanks be to God!
This program will serve as an “introduction” to the 13 week series on The Fulfillment of All Desire that I taped almost a year ago down in Alabama. Editing on this series has been completed and it is ready to launch. It will run for 13 weeks beginning Monday, March 2 at 5:00 am EST and Thursday, March 5 at 10:30 pm EST. I felt inspired doing this series and I’m looking forward to seeing how it helps people on their journey of faith. So, be sure to tune in on one of those days during the first week of March and every week thereafter for the remainder of the series.
During the first week of March we will be launching a new series of programs of The Choices We Face. Watch it on EWTN every Tuesday or Friday beginning Tuesday, March 3 at 6:00 pm or Friday, March 6 at 6:30 am. (Program times for other networks and stations can be found on our website at www.renewalministries.net and you can also view the program any time by accessing our website.) We have an exciting line-up of guests this year, including Bert Ghezzi, Gerry Faust, Patti Mansfield, Fr. Frank Pavone, Dr. Janet Smith and Fr. John Riccardo.
Finally, be sure to check out the new EWTN series called Crossing the Goal with Danny Abramowicz and our own Peter Herbeck. It is specifically geared toward men and has been well received and highly acclaimed. You can watch it at three different times: Fridays at 6:00 pm EST, Sundays at 6:30 pm EST and Mondays at 6:30 am EST.
Make sure you note these times in your calendar. Also, let your friends know about all these programs and consider inviting them over to watch them with you. As always, we are united in prayer with you. May the Lord bless you abundantly!
Your brother in Christ,
Ralph Martin
Please note: I have read and re-read Ralph Martin's book "The Fulfillment of all Desire" eight times! The only book I have read more often than that is
the Bible. This is an absolute 'must read' for every Christian wishing to dive deeply into the mystical love of Jesus!

Whenever you and other christians think that you are experiencing your living Lord, at the same time many other people of other faiths are thinking that they are experiencing their own living Lords. The objective reality of these experiences is that all of you are experiencing what is going on in your brains and central nervous systems. But subjective reality is not the same thing as objective reality. From what you have written over the last several months in this blog about your experience of a living Lord, it appears to me that you are actually experiencing a compulsive, obsessive internal delusion that has long been a vital part of your internal security system, your security blanket, if you will. No offense meant, that’s just my honest opinion. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very much like the "Flat Earth Theory." There werethose who didn't believe the earth was round, and felt those who believed such were mentally ustable. It took someone of courage to set sail into the unknown to discover there was more to our earth than Europe. An entire vista exploded before us. And I am sure there were still some who doubted the earth was round so they sat mired in their closed-mindedness for the rest of their days. Then again, there were some who poo-poo'd the idea but their hearts caught fire from listening to the stories of those who returned from the new world and couldn't wait to book passage on the next ship.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say to you is to ask you to simply pray, "God, if you really do exist, please show me somehow." Now that wouldn't hurt, would it?
