Good morning. Today’s topics are the Union of Saints, Acadia, our heritage, our communities, our spiritual practices, and the responsibilities we have toward one another. We are very proudly back in our home and heart, which is Acadia!

When we speak about what would have been the Acadian territory, it runs from New Brunswick and the surrounding regions in New England. It has been so beautiful learning about the places that are still honoring Acadians in Canada. Being from New England, our heritage suffered greatly through the British Crown, and there were also secret societies and organizations that worked very hard to keep our history from being spoken about.

A lot of history was changed and altered to represent something it really did not represent. We have been studying these histories and looking at the different organizations and political movements that affected our families and communities. What we discovered was that there were issues involving organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan that targeted our families, and we also studied the Bolsheviks and the political movements surrounding them.

A lot of it is really about power. We are still experiencing struggles over power today, although the circumstances have changed and the political environment has developed in new directions. This is why studying history is so important, because we can see how political movements, organizations, communities, and governments have affected ordinary people.

We are facing further issues, suppressions, battles, and conflicts within our country. We are also seeing conflicts within our own communities between Democrats and Republicans, and these political divisions can affect families, friendships, churches, and neighborhoods. We are standing strong as a community and hoping that people will come together again.

We want people to recognize that White people have humanity. We believe our communities deserve to have our history and experiences spoken about openly, and we believe White Americans belong within conversations about humanity and human rights. Acadian and Mi'kmaq history also belongs within this larger discussion because these communities endured tremendous struggles that remain unknown to many Americans.

By opening up about our heritage, there is a lot of learning that can be done. There are lessons within the history of Acadia, the experiences of the Acadians, and the experiences of the Mi'kmaq that deserve greater attention. Maybe we can get back to more of a level mindset again where we remember and honor Americans while continuing to learn about the communities and cultures that truly formed America.

Within the Union of Saints, we talk about controlled speech patterns in conversation, OZIRAH versus OSIRAM, and Union of Saints language etiquette. When we are talking about our story or about politics, these conversations come up a lot. We are very passionate about these times, and it is important to remember Union of Saints etiquette and language.

There are a lot of harsh words being used, and there can be conversational patterns that are unhealthy. Recognizing those clues is good for protecting ourselves because language can reveal patterns involving manipulation, hostility, intimidation, or abuse. Paying attention to these patterns helps us understand when a conversation has become harmful.

It does not mean we have to fully distance ourselves from others. We may recognize that someone is not able to interpret their own abuse patterns in language, and sometimes we can be helpful in those situations. We still have to protect ourselves first, establish our boundaries, and take care of our own well-being.

We are recognizing the components of World War III and studying who are the true friends of the USA and who may be potential enemies. We made a lot of discoveries as we watched the dynamics of politics and activism transform into modern conflict. Today we are experiencing components of World War III.

We are very proud of our administration for the work that they are doing. They have made some really phenomenal strides, and we are watching developments involving American security, international relationships, and territorial interests very closely. Keeping our people safe is extremely important to us.

We do not believe in silencing. There is a lot of propaganda that is not in support of the USA, and it is important to recognize propaganda when it expresses. Political messaging can come from many different movements, and Americans should examine the sources, evidence, language, and objectives behind those messages.

The strides that are being made for security, including the developments involving Greenland, are really phenomenal. These developments involve complicated international relationships and national security questions.. This administration is working all the time to make positive momentum and strides for the USA so that our people can remain safe.

We are recognizing weaponized instrumental migration as an important subject defining modern times. We are also recognizing integrated and healthy immigrant families who support Americans, are kind, cordial, and respect our cultural values. There are people within our communities who genuinely want to be friends and who appreciate American culture.

You can tell when someone is humble toward American people and genuinely enjoys American culture. You can see when someone wants to participate in the community and actually wants to be here. There is a major distinction between a lawful migrant who loves America and a weaponized mass migration movement that is being used for political or geopolitical purposes.

It is important to put our boundaries up and understand the difference between these situations. We want to support American families, lawful immigrant families, community safety, and national security. We also want to recognize people who genuinely love America and want to participate peacefully within American communities.

First and foremost, we want to support American families, safety, security, and community protection. We should always be thinking about safety, always thinking about American security, and always looking out for each other. That is especially important while we continue dealing with international conflicts and concerns involving foreign influence.

We are also concerned about the Communist Party and spying, drug running, human trafficking, and other forms of organized activity. These are serious fronts of the war we are facing. Some of us may witness suspicious activity and have difficulty understanding exactly what we are seeing.

There are ways to learn about warning signs and recognize signals that may indicate a serious situation. There is training available that can help us understand these subjects and respond responsibly. We recommend remaining vigilant while using good judgment and allowing evidence to guide our actions.

We are also understanding race conflict as an issue of humanity. There is a lot of propaganda right now that recognizes the humanity of Black, Brown, Jewish, and other communities while White humanity receives less recognition within certain discussions. It is important for us to recognize that racism is an issue involving humanity as a whole.

White humanity is included. White Americans are human beings, and their experiences, history, families, and communities deserve recognition in right’s spaces also. Humanity belongs within conversations about every community. This is not up for debate.

We are paying tribute to ancient Acadian culture, native heritage, and Franco-American pilgrimage. French Americans are a huge part of the founding and development of America. It was not an easy triumph to achieve peace between the British and the French, and it required many wars, many conflicts, many battles, alliances, and political changes.

Acadia is an important part of American history. The Acadians and the Mi'kmaq endured a lot of struggles, and many of those struggles are unknown to many Americans. By learning about these histories, we gain a greater understanding of the people, communities, cultures, and events that culturally shaped the region.

When the truth is told about this beautiful, soulful community full of rich heritage and culture, especially within Mi'kmaq culture, there is a healing process that can happen. Telling the story fully allows people to see the larger picture. This is so important within America and within religious cultures as well.

There were communities that experienced peaceful relationships and shared life alongside periods of conflict, displacement, and war. These different experiences belong within the historical record. We are telling the full story of Acadia because these histories deserve to be known.

We are also practicing water healing and ocean cleansing. We find ourselves by bodies of water and take in the view, the elegance, the love, and the spirit that water has to offer us. Water gives us an opportunity to cleanse our souls and remain at peace with our Mother.

We often think of Mother as the goddess of water and the Queen of Heaven. We also think of the sun as the father of the sun and King of heaven. These spiritual understandings give us an easy way to resonate with spirit and elevate our spirits.

Water can give us a place to pause, reflect, breathe, and reconnect. The ocean can create a feeling of peace and renewal. This is one of the ways we practice spiritual healing within the Union of Saints.

We are fortifying love, self, and restoring our service to our nation. Many of us may feel really emboldened right now by the experiences we have been having and the things we have been learning. We are inspired!

We are recognizing that we are facing components of World War III, and maybe that is giving us a channel of power that says, wow, we get to really fight for everything that we love. This strengthens our love. Of course, this is not easy, and it has been immeasurably difficult to work through these understandings. We have our diagnosis now, and now we get to fight back and achieve great things together as a very strong American community.

We are very proud of Americans, and we are proud to serve. We want to use this energy toward our families, our communities, our heritage, and our country. We want to build our shared American life so that it is meaningful together.

We are wearing red and green on the weekends to support the troops. There are a lot of shirts online that you can buy, and you can wear red on Fridays or wear red on whatever day on the week or weekend you want to. We are opening it up and saying that people can participate in the way that feels right for them.

Sometimes we wear white to church, and this is really up to you. We want to keep things free. We do not actually have an established place that we go to pray for the Union of Saints yet, but we share with our “Brother” unions, and are developing our Sister, and stronger than ever before! :)

Just like many churches, we will eventually have a dress code when we have a physical place of worship. We are free people, and we want to keep things free. We also recognize our traditions are developing as our Union develops. We want to honor classical church life while also honoring our liberty and freedom.  

We are also wearing red, white, and blue and the star for Stella to represent both the Franco and American culture within America. We like to wear green to represent the Celts. We also like to recognize Acadian and Italian culture.

There are a lot of beautiful cultures and rich cultures that were part of the founding and development of America. We are very proud of this heritage. We are not willing to let those traditions go to the wayside because activists are telling us that we have to.

We are enriching our culture. We are remembering our heritage, our families, our traditions, and our history. We are going to continue doing that, and we are very proud of who we are and where we come from.

We are also honoring Catholicism and Christianity. We are not Catholics or Christians fully or per se’, but we resonate very much with many of their traditions and teachings. There are spiritual values within these traditions that speak to us and have influenced our understanding of faith.

We remember that the truth prevails. Many of our revelations are karmic, which is why it is important to keep history intact, even when there is conflict. It is important that the truth is spoken and that people have access to the historical record.

History can contain conflict, suffering, beauty, courage, and spiritual meaning. We want to remember all of it. The truth deserves a place within our community.

We are also reclaiming our Great Goddess and her torch of liberation and freedom for the Franco-American communities through the Statue of Liberty. We are admonishing any form of rebranding, censoring, reclothing, or alterations made to her true meaning. We want to honor her for all she represents to us.

We honor the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of liberty, freedom, light, and liberation. We also honor the Franco-American relationship that contributed to her creation. Her history deserves to remain available for people to study.

We remember the torch and what it represents. We remember the people who created her and the historical circumstances surrounding her creation. She represents French and American freedom, partnership and liberation.

We are loving our neighbors while recognizing that we have a right to protect ourselves. If and when our survival instincts kick in, we have every right to protect ourselves and the people we love. Love should never be forced.

Americans do not have to offer kindness in situations where they feel threatened. It is important to get real about that. The pirates are on our decks and looting, and it is perfectly okay to protect ourselves, this is a totally normal and healthy human instinct.

We can maintain compassion while maintaining boundaries. We can care about people while protecting ourselves. We can recognize danger and respond responsibly.

On the subject of Jesus, embodying Jesus never meant embodying a Jewish kingdom. Jesus represented peace, love, humility, and forgiveness as the highest form of love. Those qualities are important within our spiritual understanding.

Politicians and activists have their own ideas about these subjects. Wars of human kingdoms are developed first by their frontrunners, political leaders, movements, and institutions. The Union of Saints stands on her own with honor, light, and truth.

We are developing our own spiritual path. We can recognize the teachings that resonate with us while continuing to preserve our own identity. We are here to seek truth, practice love, and continue learning.
