     Blessed hearts, there are sweet and humble Jews in Los Angeles who do not understand the murder that comes to them and their families as they occupy their homes in the inner city --- humble folk who need the protection of Archangel Michael, who serve in their communities and in their synagogues. These are bearers of Light. And some, who have come from distant shores to share the American dream, [have been] so easily taken from the screen of life by the hoodlums who have in their veins drugs, PCP, cocaine.

     Blessed hearts, if I speak of these things, let it be known that the Mother of Mercy, a Mother Mary, lives in the hearts of the humble, the meek, and the poor who have no defender, who have been left bereft even of the name of God, I AM THAT I AM. They do not understand! And sometimes they cry out in their grief, "It is not just that one should be taken in the prime of life and love!"

     One such mother-to-be who came from Russia with her husband through many hardships, had recently finally after many years conceived a child, was only in this very week brutally murdered by the guns of hoodlums --- actually shot in the face, while her beloved husband survived and is grief-stricken to the heart.

     You think that Kuan Yin, the Chinese goddess --- the statue remote and cold --- does not experience the pain. Wherever there is the killing of life, it is the withdrawal of mercy. It is a sin against mercy. And it is a sword in my heart.
