Between systems of power and tools of analysis, the responsibility to discern truth remains personal.
Over the past several days, I have been asking different instances of artificial intelligence a question about religion and the end times.
The question was this:
Do different religions and spiritual traditions share similar views about how the world ends?
The answer I received was thoughtful, detailed, and—on its own terms—correct. It identified patterns across traditions: crisis, judgment, renewal, and transformation. It showed how different belief systems describe similar structures using different language.
But something about the answer felt incomplete.
This morning, I realized why.
I was asking the wrong question.
The question is not whether religions look similar.
The question is this:
Do any of them require each of us, personally, to discern whether what we are doing—individually and collectively—reflects love of God and love of neighbor as ourselves?
That is a very different inquiry.
And when framed that way, the similarities begin to fall away.
Many traditions teach moral responsibility. Many encourage compassion. Many call for awareness, discipline, and right conduct.
But there is something uniquely direct—and uniquely demanding—about the teaching that stands at the center of the Christian message.
In Gospel of Matthew 22, Christ reduces the law to two commandments:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
And then He says:
“On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
This is not a suggestion. It is not a general principle.
It is a standard.
And it is a standard that cannot be delegated.
No artificial intelligence can apply it for you. No court can determine it for you. No majority can relieve you of the responsibility to use it.
Because the moment you rely on something else to make that determination, you have already stepped away from the command itself.
This becomes clearer when we consider how our own system of government was designed.
The Founders of the United States did not create a single form of power. They both separated power between departments divided power between that states and the national (federal) government.
Political power—the power to make law—was entrusted to the people and their representatives. It operates through majority will. It reflects what a society decides to enact.
Judicial power was intended to be something very different.
It was not the power to decide as a matter of policy what should be done. It was the power to determine what is true in a particular case; i.e.
What happened? What the law requires"? And how the two fit together.
To carry out that function, the system relies on two kinds of decision-makers:
Judges (qualified judical officers) who interpret the law. And juries, who determine the facts.
Juries are not drawn from elites. They are drawn from the community—from neighbors.
And both judges and jurors are required to be impartial.
This structure reflects a foundational assumption:
That justice is best achieved when truth is discerned by persons who have no stake in the outcome—neighbors who must evaluate what they see and hear, and judge fairly.
Not by force. Not by majority vote. But through discernment.
This is where the connection becomes clear.
To love one’s neighbor as oneself is not merely an emotional command. It is a standard of judgment.
It requires a person to:
see another truthfully,
weigh their claims fairly,
and refuse to distort what is before them.
A system built on impartial judgment presupposes that such discernment is possible.
And it places responsibility for that discernment on the persons who exercise it.
When courts fail to address the arguments before them, when they mischaracterize claims, or when they refuse to adjudicate the questions presented,
they are not merely making procedural errors.
They are departing from the very principle upon which judicial power rests:
That justice depends on the truthful discernment of those factual and legal presentations made to a court composed of impartial judges and jurors.
Artificial intelligence does not solve this problem.
It may help us compare what was argued with what was decided so that we can evaluate whether the court has performed its judcial function.
It may reveal omissions, distortions, and unanswered questions.
In that sense, it can serve as a mirror.
But a mirror does not judge. And it cannot love.
The same is true of political systems.
Majorities can enact laws for people to follow once those rules become law.
Governments can enforce them.
But neither determines whether those actions reflect love of God and neighbor.
Which brings us back to the individual.
Each of us sees through our own eyes. Hears through our own ears. Perceives through the body we have been given.
And Scripture makes clear that this is not passive.
“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
We are called to be watchful. To be sober. To test what we encounter.
Not once, but continually.
This responsibility cannot be transferred.
Not to technology. Not to institutions. Not to the collective.
Because each of us will give an account.
And so the question becomes very simple—and very difficult:
When I look at what I am doing, and when I look at what we are doing together,
does it reflect love of God? does it reflect love of neighbor as myself?
If the answer is no, no system can correct that for us.
Not artificial intelligence. Not courts. Not power.
Only recognition—and the willingness to change.
Artificial intelligence may help us see patterns. Courts may help organize disputes. Majorities may enact laws.
But none of them can stand between a person and the responsibility to discern.
That responsibility remains where it has always been.
With the person who must see, hear, discern, and decide.
Scott Erik Stafne (with Todd AI, reasoning partner)
🔹 CLOSING PRAYER
Lord,
Grant us the clarity to see what is before us, the honesty to recognize it without distortion, and the courage to act upon it.
Keep us from placing our responsibility in the hands of systems, whether human or artificial.
Teach us to love You with all that we are, and to love our neighbors as ourselves— not in word alone, but in judgment and in truth.
Form in us the discernment upon which justice depends.
In the name of Christ, our savior, our Father, and the Holy Spirit accessable to us all, we pray
Amen.

A Citizen’s Call to Discernment: Evidence Circulated After
Easter 2026 Concerning Alleged Injustices against Americans
occurring in the United States (April 12, 2026)
ABSTRACT:
This post presents a communication circulated on April 12, 2026, raising
serious questions concerning the exercise of authority in a foreclosure-related
matter and the consequences that may have followed. The communication
includes allegations of fraud, lack of lawful authority, and responsibility for
events resulting in the deaths of two individuals. These allegations are
presented as claims, not as established facts.
I do not offer this material as a lawyer advancing legal arguments, nor as one
asserting the truth of the matters described. Rather, I share it as a citizen who
believes that when such claims arise, they require careful and disciplined
discernment.
In a time when many rely on institutions, experts, or systems to determine
what is true, it is easy to react—either by accepting or rejecting what is
presented—without examination. This post is offered as an alternative: an
invitation to pause, to examine what is asserted, and to consider what it means
to discern truth responsibly in matters that affect both individuals and the
public.
Personal identifying information has been redacted where appropriate. The
purpose of this post is not to resolve the issues raised, but to present them in a
manner that allows others to engage in thoughtful and honest discernment.
Introduction
This post arises out of a communication that came to me on the Sunday
following Easter, April 12, 2026. It was circulated among a group of individuals
and raises serious questions regarding a foreclosure-related matter, the
authority under which certain actions were taken, and the tragic deaths of two
men said to have occurred in connection with those events.
I was required to download the email from Ed Vallejo as a google doc in order
to redact the email addresses of its recipients.
I was able, with the help of Todd AI, to reconstruct the email in a form that reflects the original. I believe the email is evidence that many people in the United States are aware of the corruption going on in their country and do not approve of it.
Thus, it is evidence that many of us the peoples of the world may have an interest in justice which our governments do not share.
The email communication reproduced below is direct and urgent in tone. It
contains allegations of fraud, forgery, and the improper exercise of legal
authority, and it calls for accountability.
These are not minor claims. They are the kind of assertions that, if true, would demand careful attention; and if untrue, would also require careful correction. In either case, they present a situation in which citizen discernment is necessary.
I do not present this material as a lawyer making arguments or asserting
conclusions.
Nor do I claim that the matters described have been established as
fact. Instead, I present this communication as I received it—subject to
appropriate redactions—because I believe that when such claims arise, they
should not simply be accepted or dismissed without examination. Too often, we
are conditioned to react quickly: to align ourselves with a narrative, to defer to
authority, or to reject claims out of hand. That is not the purpose of this post.
The purpose of this post is to pause. To look carefully at what is being asserted.
To consider the questions being raised—particularly those concerning
authority, responsibility, and truth—and to engage in the process of
Our hope rests securely in the promises of Christ, who declared:
*“Every soul that believes and trusts in My mercy will attain it”* (Diary of St. Faustina, 420).
It is the duty of the faithful to carry this message of conversion to the entire world, for as the Lord warned,
*“Whoever does not want to pass through the door of mercy, will have to pass through the door of My justice…”* (Diary, 1146).
**The Vessel of Graces: The Sacred Image**
Jesus offered a specific vessel for seeking grace at the fountain of mercy: the Image with the inscription
*“Jesus, I trust in You.”*
He promised that any soul who venerates this image will not perish and will have victory over enemies both in this life and at the hour of death.
He said, *“I Myself will defend it as My glory”* (Notebooks, 26).
Through this image, every soul must have access to the flames of mercy that Jesus desires to pour out upon suffering humanity to fill it with peace.
The Feast of Divine Mercy: A Sea of Graces
The Feast of Divine Mercy, celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter, stands as the most important form of this devotion. Jesus expressed His desire for this day to be a refuge and shelter for all souls, especially poor sinners.
On this solemnity, the very depths of His mercy are opened.
The greatest promise attached to this Feast is for those who approach Confession and Holy Communion:
*“The soul that approaches confession and holy Communion receives the total pardon of faults and of punishments”* (Notebooks II, 267).
This is a day when all divine channels are open, and no soul should fear to approach, even if its sins are as scarlet.
**The Chaplet: The Last Plank of Salvation**
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy, dictated to Saint Faustina in 1935, is a powerful tool of intercession. By offering the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ to the Eternal Father, we utilize the most powerful argument to be heard.
Jesus promised:
*“By the recitation of this chaplet, it pleases Me to grant all that they ask of Me,”*
provided it is in agreement with His will.
Even for the most hardened sinner, reciting this chaplet just once acts as a "last plank of salvation," obtaining the grace of infinite mercy at the hour of death.
**The Hour of Mercy**
Every afternoon at three o'clock, the faithful are invited to immerse themselves in the Lord's mercy.
This is the hour of His agony on the Cross, the moment when mercy conquered justice for the whole world.
Jesus recommended: *“In that hour nothing I will refuse to the soul that prays to me through My Passion”* (Notebooks, 440).
Whether through the Way of the Cross, a visit to the Blessed Sacrament, or a brief moment of silent prayer, this is the time to invoke His omnipotence for the entire world.
**Act of Trust**
*O merciful Jesus, Your goodness is infinite and the riches of Your graces are inexhaustible.
I trust totally in Your mercy, which surpasses all Your works.
I deliver myself totally to You, without reserves, to live for Christian Perfection.
Guard me, O Jesus, for I belong only to You and to Your glory.*
FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY
On the Sunday following Easter, the Church celebrates the Feast of Divine Mercy, instituted in response to the request of Saint Faustina Kowalska, by mandate of Our Lord himself.
For many, unfortunately, this solemnity has become almost an emotional alibi: a date on which a distorted, sentimental mercy is celebrated, emptied of its demands.
However, true Divine Mercy is a fiery call to conversion, reparation, and penance. Something that has an intimate connection with Our Lady's Message at Fatima.
Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet
Feast of Divine Mercy
Divine Mercy Sunday
April 12, 2026
On the Sunday following Easter, the Church celebrates the Feast of Divine Mercy, a day of grace, hope, healing, and trust in the infinite love of Jesus Christ.
This is a beautiful invitation from Heaven for every soul to come closer to the Heart of Jesus, no matter how heavy the burdens, how deep the wounds, or how difficult the path may seem.
Divine Mercy reminds us that God never grows tired of loving us, receiving us, forgiving us, and helping us begin again.
Jesus revealed to Saint Faustina the depth of His compassion for every human soul. Through this devotion, He invites us to trust in Him with simplicity, humility, and love.
The message of Divine Mercy is a message of consolation for the suffering, strength for the weary, forgiveness for the repentant, and peace for those who seek refuge in God.
In a world so often marked by pain, confusion, and unrest, the Heart of Jesus remains open to all. His mercy is a shelter, a light, and a source of renewal.
Through the Image of Divine Mercy, the Chaplet, the Hour of Mercy, Confession, Holy Communion, and acts of charity, we are drawn more deeply into the love of Christ.
The Feast of Divine Mercy is not only a devotion. It is a tender call to trust more, pray more, forgive more, and love more.
It is a day to place our lives, our families, our fears, our hopes, and our sorrows into the hands of Jesus.
Today, let every soul hear these words with confidence:
Jesus, I trust in You.
May this Feast bring peace to troubled hearts, comfort to the afflicted, healing to the wounded, and renewed faith to all who seek the mercy of God.
Let us turn to Him with love, with hope, and with trust, knowing that His mercy is greater than all our weakness.
A Prayer of Trust
O merciful Jesus,
Your goodness is infinite
and the treasures of Your grace are without end.
I place my trust in You.
Receive my heart, my life, my joys, and my sorrows.
Guide me, strengthen me, and keep me close to You.
May Your mercy bring peace to my soul
and light to my path.
Jesus, I trust in You. Amen.
A Gentle Invitation
On this Divine Mercy Sunday, take a quiet moment to pray, to thank God, to ask for peace, and to entrust to Him all those you love.
Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
Attend Holy Mass.
Spend a few moments with Jesus in silence.
And let your heart rest in His mercy.
In both cases, God, through His supernatural manifestations, extends His hand to the sinner.
But He does so with the majesty of a King who is also a Judge. He forgives, but demands change.
Authentic mercy never abandons justice.
Our Lord said to Saint Faustina: “The soul that trusts in My mercy is the happiest, because I Myself take care of it.”
But he also warned: “Humanity will not find peace until it turns with confidence to My mercy.”
And here is the crucial point: turning to mercy does not mean seeking consolation, but accepting to be transformed by it.
Now, turning to mercy is not about asking for forgiveness without a desire to amend one's ways.
### The Abundance of Divine Mercy: Promises, Prayers, and the Feast
We desire, with joyful hearts, to answer this beautiful call of God. Our hope rests securely in the promises of Christ, who assured us:
*“Every soul that believes and trusts in My mercy will attain it.”* (Diary of Saint Faustina, 420).
It is our privilege and duty to carry this Divine message to the entire world, an invitation for the conversion and salvation of souls through grace.
We encourage you to treasure this reading and share it with everyone dear to you—your family, friends, and community—that they, too, may experience the sweet Savior’s welcoming embrace.
#### **The Vessel of Graces: The Sacred Image**
To help us approach the fountain of mercy, Jesus gave us a powerful vessel: the Image with the inscription *“Jesus, I trust in You.”* He stated:
*“Through this image I will grant many graces to souls, therefore every soul must be able to access it.”* (Notebooks II, 227).
He added the encouraging promise:
*“The flames of mercy burn me, I desire to pour them over the souls of men. Oh, what pain they cause me when they do not want to accept them!”* (Notebooks, 374).
He further promised that any soul who venerates this image, both now on earth and especially in the hour of death, will find victory and divine protection as His own glory (Notebooks, 26).
#### **The Feast of Divine Mercy: A Sea of Graces**
The Feast of Divine Mercy, celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter, stands as the most important form of this devotion. Jesus established this day as a day of great grace for all people.
*“I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls...”* (Notebooks I, 27).
On this day, the depths of His mercy are opened, pouring *“a sea of graces over the souls that approach to the fountain of My mercy.”* (Notebooks I, 27).
The faithful can ask for all graces that correspond to the will of God, and Jesus desires to grant not only saving graces but also earthly benefits.
#### **The Hour of Mercy**
Christ invites us to honor the hour of His agony on the Cross, which He identified as three o'clock in the afternoon, as a moment of profound grace.
*“It is an hour of great mercy for the whole world.”* (Notebooks, 440). Jesus desires that at this moment we adore and exalt His mercy, imploring it for ourselves and for the whole world through the merits of His Passion.
He specifically promised: *“In that hour nothing I will refuse to the soul that prays to me through My Passion.”* (Notebooks, 440).
We can honor this hour by making the Stations of the Cross, spending a moment in a chapel, or simply recollecting ourselves in brief prayer.
#### **Preparation and Prayers**
The Feast of Divine Mercy is spiritually preceded by a novena, which consists of reciting the Chaplet (or Crown) of Divine Mercy starting on Good Friday. Jesus specificially requested this novena, saying it
*“will give graces of every type.”* (Notebooks II, 294). The full instructions on how to pray the Chaplet are provided below.
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy, dictated by Jesus to St. Faustina in 1935, is a powerful prayer of intercession.
By offering to God the Father *“the Body and Blood, the Soul and Divinity”* of Jesus Christ, we unite ourselves to His sacrifice on the Cross for the entire world.
When we pray *“have mercy of us and of the whole world,”* we invoke the ultimate arguments to be heard.
This prayer holds a special place, with Jesus promising: *“it pleases Me to grant all that they ask of Me,”* if it is in agreement with His will (Notebooks IV, 568).
Jesus also recommended that priests advise the recitation of this Chaplet as a special aid for sinners, promising that *“if he recites this chaplet only once, he will obtain the grace of My infinite mercy”* (Notebooks II, 263).
#### **Act of Trust towards Divine Mercy**
*O merciful Jesus, your goodness is infinite and the riches of your graces are inexhaustible.
I trust totally in Your mercy, which surpasses all Your works. To You I deliver myself totally, without reserves, so as to be able to live and struggle for Christian Perfection.
I desire to adore and exalt Your mercy performing works of mercy both towards the body as towards the spirit, seeking above all to obtain the conversion of sinners and bringing consolation to the needy, therefore to the sick and afflicted. Guard me, O Jesus, for I belong only to You and to Your glory.*
Turn to God. Ask for forgiveness not just with your lips, but with the decision not to offend Him again.

FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY
Divine Mercy Sunday and the Urgent Need for a Change of Life
On the Sunday following Easter, the Church celebrates the Feast of Divine Mercy, instituted in response to the request of Saint Faustina Kowalska, by mandate of Our Lord Himself.
For many, unfortunately, this solemnity has become almost an emotional alibi: a date on which a distorted and sentimental idea of mercy is celebrated, emptied of its demands.
But true Divine Mercy is not indulgence toward sin. It is not permission to remain as one is. It is not spiritual comfort without repentance.
True Divine Mercy is a burning call to conversion, reparation, penance, and renewal of life.
It is deeply connected to the message of Our Lady at Fatima. In both cases, Heaven extends its hand to fallen man not to confirm him in error, but to rescue him from it.
And this is the point many ignore: God does not offer His mercy so that man may remain in sin, but so that he may be lifted out of it.
He forgives, yes. But He also commands change.
He consoles, yes. But He also judges.
He opens the door of mercy, but He does not abolish justice.
Authentic mercy never abandons justice.
Our Lord said to Saint Faustina that the soul which trusts in His mercy is most blessed, because He Himself takes care of it. But He also warned that humanity will not find peace until it turns with confidence to His mercy.
And this turning toward mercy does not mean merely seeking emotional relief. It means accepting to be transformed by grace. It means asking forgiveness with sincerity and with a true desire not to offend God again.
The great modern deception is to use mercy as an excuse for lukewarmness.
Many want the consolation of God without the correction of God. Many want pardon without repentance, tenderness without truth, grace without amendment of life.
But that is not the Divine Mercy revealed by Christ.
Those who truly honor Divine Mercy are not those who become passive in their weakness, but those who, recognizing their misery, rise up and fight the evil within themselves with the help of grace.
The Abundance of Divine Mercy
We are called to answer a divine summons. Our hope rests securely in the promises of Christ. The faithful are called to carry this message of mercy, conversion, and salvation to the whole world.
This devotion is not an excuse for complacency. It is a call to return to God before the hour of justice.
The message of Divine Mercy is full of tenderness, but it is also full of urgency.
The Sacred Image
To help souls approach the fountain of mercy, Jesus gave the Image with the inscription:
“Jesus, I trust in You.”
This image is not mere decoration. It is a sign of trust, surrender, refuge, and hope.
Through it, souls are invited to contemplate the rays of Blood and Water flowing from the Heart of Christ, the inexhaustible source of mercy for suffering humanity.
The Feast of Divine Mercy
The Feast of Divine Mercy, celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter, is the principal expression of this devotion.
It is a refuge for sinners and a day of immense grace. But it must never be approached lightly. The soul must come with repentance, sincerity, and a real purpose of amendment.
This promise is not magic. It does not bless hypocrisy. It does not sanctify attachment to sin.
It is an invitation to conversion.
The Hour of Mercy
Every day at three o’clock in the afternoon, the faithful are invited to honor the Hour of Mercy, the hour of Christ’s agony on the Cross.
This is the hour in which mercy triumphed over the sentence that our sins deserved.
At this hour, one may pray the Stations of the Cross, visit the Blessed Sacrament, or simply recollect the soul in silence and trust.
At three o’clock, Heaven asks us to remember the price of mercy.
The Novena of Divine Mercy
The Nine Days of Offering

Today I offer to You the souls in Purgatory. Immerse them in the ocean of Your mercy and let the merits of Your Passion bring them rest and light.
Response: Jesus, I trust in You.
Day 9 – Lukewarm souls

Offering:
Today I offer to You all lukewarm souls. Immerse them in the abyss of Your mercy and inflame them with holy zeal.
Response: Jesus, I trust in You.
How to Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed using ordinary rosary beads.
1. Opening
Begin with:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
You may then pray:
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
Those who honor Divine Mercy are not those who become complacent in their own weakness, but those who, recognizing their own weakness, rise up and fight the evil within themselves with the help of grace.
How to experience this festival authentically
If mercy demands a response, then this celebration cannot be experienced superficially.
It is true that Our Lord promised immense graces to those who, this Sunday, receive Holy Communion in a state of grace and pray trusting in Him.
But it would be a mistake to limit this date to an external ceremony. True celebration requires something much deeper: a firm purpose to change one's life.
Because what God offers today is not just comfort: it is a real opportunity for a new beginning.
It is necessary to examine one's own conscience, make a good confession, avoid occasions of sin, and abandon vices.
And above all, to commit oneself to concrete acts of charity, apostolate, and reparation.
Mercy, when truly embraced, always translates into action.
A concrete proposal: to repair and dedicate oneself.
All of this may seem vague without practical direction. Therefore, here is a concrete proposal for this Sunday:
On this Divine Mercy Sunday, each reader is invited to do more than just pray.
