Questions & Answers about

AFM of Peace & Jeannette of Nazareth

 

1.                Why do you call yourself Jeannette of Nazareth?

 

It was never planned at all; it just happenned. I remember a nun telling my grade 12 classmates :  Wherever you end up in this planet and whatever your mission will be, always remember one thing :  you come from Jesus of Nazareth city, and you ought to be proud in the eyes of the whole world! . Today, when people express their astonishment at my having come from Nazareth, the same place as Jesus, I say in a humourous spirit.  Yeh! every morning Jesus & I used to take coffee together and we exchanged visits constantly in our neighbourhood . So people laugh, appreciating this sense of humour. In our days, to keep our sanity, we ought to create every opportunity to keep on laughing when possible at the right time and place. Humour is nice because it refresh our soul positively, while sarcastic attitude tend degrade and crush our good feelings abd spirit. As we can see, the first is constructive which I applaud; while the latter, is destructive which I condemn.

 

2.                 In your opinion, did Jesus have any brothers?

 

No! Some people believe that Jesus had brothers. I personally totally disagree with this dogma. It is important to analyze and study oriental culture before interpreting the Bible. For example, in my culture, (Middle East) as respectful friendly relations with one another, we always address every person as brother or sister and for closer relationship the man is addressed as uncle and the women as aunt. So, unfortunately most people in North America do not seem to pay attention or be aware of such a tradition in the oriental cultures. As a result, this leads into a wrong interpretation of the Bible. Jesus loved humanity and had great sympathy towards sinners. His love for any woman was always pure. He has devoted all His life to save people from sins. He was thrilled every time anyone was repenting and taking a new direction in their lives.

 

This dogma applies to our Blessed Mother Mary too. Making a sincere efforts to fully understand the oriental culture, the virginity of the Mother of God becomes possible and more than evident. I just know it with closed eyes that she never ever had any sexual contact with any man including her spouse Joseph. He was merely her protector facing the severe unmerciful traditions which existed two thousand years ago. Marys sole focus was to do everything to help Jesus fulfill His great mission on earth and save the world from sin and destruction. Consequently, she followed Her sons steps faithfully and lived in imitation of Jesus steps and ultimate sublime goal. Therefore, I believe strongly that Mary is immaculate conception and remained always virgin; she was never ever touched by a man and never had children nor Joseph (her spouse) did. Blessed are those who believe radically and authentically about her virginity; for their reward in heaven is beyond what mans eye can ever see! May Gods light open the eyes of the blind and lead everyone into the fertile land. Amen!

 

3.                Would you please clarify why you chose Jeannette of Nazareth?

 

My mission was planned from the day I was born; yet I never was aware of it till the sound of the alarm of Sept. 11, 2001. I chose to adopt this name : Jeannette of Nazareth for the following reasons :

 

a.                 Having lived in Nazareth, Israel for over 22 years, as an amateur artist and a peace activist, I saw this name best fit; also, having lived in the same city as Jesus of Nazareth, delivering this AFM of Peace mission; I could not see a better name more fit for me. Dont you agree with me? He is the Prince of Peace, and I simply follow His steps in my own little way through the AFM of Peace.

 

b.                As a protection for my children, family, and relatives from people who are for war and violence. I thought such a name will project onto others nothing but peace, which will enhance the spread of the AFM of Peace & harmony to the whole world, with special attention to the oppressed and the little ones.

 

4.                Some people resent to see you adopting a name directly linked to Jesus of Nazareth. Any comments on this?

 

I know this fact; for, I lost many close contact because of this fact. I love Jesus! He has been always the center of my life from the day I was born. I always had great admiration for Jesus, Prince of Peace. I follow His steps, and I applaud openly His great courage for sacrificing His life to save the world. John the Baptist said he is not worthy to tie His shoes. I say : being a sinner caused by human nature & weaknesses, without His great Love and Mercy to the whole world, I would dissipate like dust in the wind. But today, here I am; I came and I conquered  (fulfilling the dream of passing the AFM of Peace to the whole world). If it werent for my sublime love of Him, and vice versa, (His love to the world); I would have nothing to offer to the world today. Dont you agree?

Adopting a direct connotation to Jesus name as Jesus of Nazareth, somehow gives me this sense of inner peace & identity which I was in search restlessly for long years. Only in Him, my soul rest in peace and shed light to all people I encounter in this ephemeral world. I offer to Him my gratitude and glorify His name for sowing this Inner Peace in the heart of all Humanity.

 

5.                 Why do you play Virgin Mary? You dress up like her etc

 

Oh my Lord! I never did I ever premeditated on such thing nor did I ever planned anything. Without knowing it, it just happened that I ended up looking like my sweet Mother who I reverend and love very much. After all, I come from the same hometown : Nazareth. When people tell me :   You look like Virgin Mary  I state with humour a proverb in French :  telle mre telle fille . I always followed her steps to the best of my ability within my capacity and admire her great courage to have suffered so much in imitation to her only beloved son, Jesus Christ, for the love of her son and all humanity. Only through this mystic incarnation was humanity able at last to experience true Joy and Peace of heart. Isnt it a true fact?

 

Soon after I started to perform and do peace concerts, one day as I passed by a store on Bank St., in Ottawa; I saw a nice long blue dress for $19.99 no more. Baby blue has been always my favourite colour. After all, blue suggests to me peace and spirituality. Being at an affordable price, I thought, why not? It would be nice to wear it for the AFM of Peace concerts (simplicity & poverty). But as I do perform in churches too, I decided to look for a shawl which will go with the dress colour to cover my bare shoulders. So, I bought eventually with time three shawls. The prices ranged between $10 and $20.

The Virgin Mary, Mother of all humanity throughout history, was, is and will always be my dearest mother. I love her so, and I admire her great love for making it possible for Jesus to come and save the world, by saying yes to the angel Gabriel. If it werent for her great motherly sublime love for humanity and for her beloved son Jesus, where would humanity be today?

 

As Mary was given a special grace by God to crush evil power and every temptation under her feet, now in my turn in support to this concept and in imitation to her, as I witness so much problems due to money, materialism, and egoism; I too would like to crush all money under my feet and force it to submit to the will of God and humanity and place money in rank #3 instead of #1. Its use should only be applied to lift up God and humanity and never ever to degrade either of the two.

 

Our blessed Mother was always my only refuge in time of danger, war, and difficulties. Please see song #25; A Call for Mercy to the Virgin Mary (In this song, we see the image of a little child rushing into the arms of his mother in time of war, danger, and world misery. This child is me and all the children who are in search for security and peace.

 

6.                Tell us about the AFM of Peace to the World.

 

Ever since I remember, I always was for peace. I hate quarrels, hatred, jalousie, and anger. Although at certain times in my life I was a victim of these vicious spirits. PEACE was always my ultimate goal in my everyday life, but many times was very hard to acquire because of our human weaknesses. Having lived most of my life in convents and Catholic boarding schools, my faith in God, my love for peace and humanity was born then. For this I admire the Catholic Church for opening its arms to this rejected child, who lived most of her life as an orphan. If it were not for their great love for God & Humanity, where would I have been today? (song #1; Dancing of the Heart).

 

Having composed several songs and melodies; seeing all the problems and world misery, I decided to offer all my modest talents and songs by seeking to alleviate the burden of the helpless and the little ones and sow peace in the heart of the whole world.

 

7.                What do you think of religions?

 

If it were not for these good religions (ones which call to worship God of Love, Purity, Peace) which have the tools to build harmony in our hearts, there would be no manners, ethics, or good principles in human life. Our world would be totally chaotic. Yes, as the secular sector of the society made mistakes so did the nonsecular. After all, we are all human; we all have our weaknesses and our strength and are often submitted to the slavery of physical matter and flesh. Its our fate to fight it, and our great battle as long as we live

 

I resent so much seeing many school boards which took away Chrisitanity Religion from the students agenda. This is why many among our children today have less respect towards their parents and adults. Good religions teach ethics & faith in the ultimate power, the Creator, as well as how humanity is able to set itself free from dependencies and everything which corrupts our souls in order to reach out to perfection. Although this is not a very easy thing to do, just by simply trying to elevate from the lower physical level of thinking, the human soul is already able now and then to experience true Love, Joy & Peace. The more this method is practiced through thinking, prayers, or meditations; the higher the human soul is able to soar in the sky beyond the horizon. Achieving this freedom, at last, it is a big victory for Humanity! Hooray!

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Catholic Church world-wide and in particular, in the Holy Land (Nazareth, Haifa, and Jerusalem) who fill their humanitarian mission towards me to the full. I sing for them Gratitude and Thanksgiving (song #12 & 14) now and forever this melodious gift is extended to all churches of all denominations who have and are still providing me moral and spiritual support abroad and in Canada. To all of the peacemakers, religious and secular, I say THANK YOU from all my heart! Continue the good work; for, I am more than proud of you, dear brothers and sisters! May God bless you, protect you from any harm, and fill your heart with everlasting Joy and Peace! Amen!

 

8.                Tell us please a bit about the film : Jeannette of Nazareth

 

The idea of this production was conceived essentially to open the hearts of the little ones: to help them regain faith, love, hope, joy, and peace. It speaks about the antagonistic powers existing in human life. The positive and the negative; the building and the destructive power. Both were, are, and will be in a constant battle one against the other as long as human beings do not make the efforts to set themselves free from the slavery of egoism and materialism. This ideology is revealed in the first part of the movie.

 

As for the second part, it is summary of my biography told by the narrator who is the producer of the film. It reveals human weaknesses facing poverty; yet, a special attention to the idealism of education, in the eyes of once upon time, was called The Lost Child (song #19). That person now is the Prodigal Child named Jeannette of Nazareth. From Mothers Love (song #8) she was deprived, so her attention and the focus in her life were two : faith in God and education. For both are means to set the human soul free from ignorance and darkness (see Democracy by Socrates) such as superstitions and immoral commercial practices of eroticism, as prostitution etc.

 

The third part of the film demonstrates how Jeannette of Nazareth spread the AFM of Peace to the World through her modest talents applied in simplicity and poverty. This was done first in her community, then beyond all limits that the human eye can ever imagine. Her ultimate goal was and still is : to sow Joy & Peace of the Lord in the heart of everyone, in her own little way. This achievement is done with the help of many supporters and volunteers, including young children who eventually became heroes in her eyes. She just loves to bring harmony to humanity : to all ages, social classes, all races and colours without any discrimination.

 

In the last part, she delivers AFM of Peace to the World in a form of a poem she composed to give us the Recipe for Happiness, and teach us how everyone of us can contribute towards world peace by investing his/her own bit of modest talents in his/her own little way, no matter what field or interest one may have.

 

Through the film, the reducer and I, as assistant wish to pass A Friendly Message to the Whole World that everyone has the responsibility to contribute towards peace and this does not require big money. It can be done in simplicity and poverty. All our efforts be based on Love in order to bring victory and fulfill our common dream : PEACE. If Jeannette of Nazareth can do it, anyone can do it. All we need is to believe in ourselves and work in solidarity. Alone, one cannot achieve peace; therefore, it is necessary for all churches, and non-porfit organizations, media resources, government, enterprises, etc. to open the door to those who wish to sow peace by several means in their own little way by singing, dancing, visual arts, music, literature, conferences, group discussion, or other healthy peaceful approach. When people ignore these devoted peacemakers, we leave them with great deep sorrow in their heart. Yes, indeed it hurts a lot. I know it and I live it everyday. I hope people understand and start to react and open the door for thee to participate in the process of peace.

 

9.                Do you have AFM of Peace for the volunteers?

 

Yes, I would like to thank every individual, church & organization leaders and their members, children, private enterprises, the media, nursing homes, and all who directly or indirectly contributed towards this AFM of Peace to the World. I would like to encourage everyone in this planet to do his share and contribute his/her own talents in support of their community, church, country, and the world. I believe strongly that everyone has a responsibility to build this world and shed harmony around them, whenever and wherever possible, in simplicity and poverty. Together in one voice with Gods help in solidarity, Joy & Peace can be achieved. Yes! I believe firmly it can. As John Lenon said : Give Peace a Chance! Oh yes! Let it Be and set all People free! May Joy & Peace reign on Earth now and forever!

 

10.          I heard you are a registered massage therapist (RMT), tell us about it.

 

Yes, I have studied three types of therapeutic massage (relaxation, sport, and weight loss). I also studied ear-candle treatment and Galvatony (a successful therapeutic hygene method which is not well known in America); it treats unlimited health problems in a nonchemical and natural therapeutic approach. As through music I seek to alleviate the psychological aspect of the nonprivileged sector of the society; through massage therapy, I do so to alleviate human physical pain of the suffering.

 

11.            People say you are full of talents; is it true?

 

The more I advance in life, the more I realize how much I am blessed by many gifts and talents. However, I have nothing to be proud of as all was given freely by our Creator. The only thing I can take credit for is using them without any hesitation to bring harmony to others, which is often very rewarding. I urge everyone to do the same.

Everything I do is based on simplicity and poverty. I compose simple poems, short stories, plays, short songs and melodies. I sing and dance, paint, do calligraphy, graphic design, and translation, play the accordion, and make my fingers dance to the music on the electronic keyboard. I can knit, do embroidery, cook, do sewing and cloth alteration, hair cuts etc. I can speak fluently three languages, and four others with some difficulty.

I know everyone is blessed with many gifts and talents too; all they need is to discover them. Then it will be ideal to share them with their community rather than keeping them for themselves.

 

12.          Do you consider yourself a good mother?

 

Although I was deprived from mothers love, I believe I fulfilled a great mission as a mother towards my three beloved children. Yes, of course, I am far from being perfect, but I did my best. For, I chose to stay by them as long as possible to provide as much security and solid healthy psychological foundation for them as possible. How successful was I? It is for them to speak now Yes, I made a few small mistakes along the way; who didnt? Although I had no earthly mothers love in reserve; most of the time, I had to seek resources in myself, to pass it to my children with even greater love which comes from beyond this world of limitation. This special unconditional love and mercy of our Heavenly Father, our Creator.

 

13.            What do you think of men and women today?

 

I personally am attracted to men with a noble level of thinking. I find that many men are miserable and are loosing their identity of male by different cosmetic and fashion practices; this applies to some women too. For some women forgot how beautiful is to be feminine. There is nothing more beautiful than being one self; for everyone is unique in its own way. I admire the physical strength which God has given to men; yet, I condemn utterly chauvinism. I applaud simultaneously women and men who stand heroically with good principles, beliefs for equality and idealism.

 

14.          Can you give us your opinion about society in general?

 

As I was born in the fifties in poverty. We had electricity at home at the age of 15. As for TV, we had it when I was 18. As I had the opportunity to live in an oriental environment, I resent very strongly the new system of individualism. We see more and more families detached from their solid healthy foundations. For this reason, more and more people are thirsty for psychological and physical contact. This fact is so evident, and is revealed through my profession as a massage therapist. Many people seek release from this frustration through unethical approaches to massages. I turned off so many clients who were seeking immoral practices. (As I say to many, if I had accepted all clients who reached me, I wouldve millionaire today. Living to a good moral and principle standard often means falling into poverty. Who is responsible for this? Obviously! This new system of individualism. I personally am traditional in this sense. I believe in good solid family ties. If this family foundation is weak, broken, or distorted, then inevitably society is affected by this social discord which often may lead into human misery.

 

15.          What do you think of multiculturalism?

 

Multiculturalism means to me : illimitted opportunities, open minded spirit, wide variety, richness in the cultures, beauty in the diversity, languages, colours etc. The ensemble of multiculturalism forms a rainbow in our life. It is a bit like listening to a full orchestra which plays in unison different harmonic pitches built in layers, mixing ancient and new melodic music notes in sharps and flats on different intervals, with the right instrumental choice, consisting of musicians from different races, cultures of all ages from different ages (from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern music) all done in a good taste which heals the body and soul of every listener. Yes indeed, so rich in its quality which is able to bring unity of Heaven and Earth! Oh what Joy and Peace our world would be!

 

Unfortunately, racists tend to turn their back on this, and unfortunately often miss all the good opportunities which can embellish their life style and make them happier. Dont you agree? I am in support of all cultures. Yes, in every culture there are strengths and weaknesses. Strength such as good food, nice clothing, creative habits, natural and herbal medicine, idealism in humanity, challenging life style; as for weaknesses, they would be superstitions, unethical beliefs inherited from generation to generation, bad taste in fashion and clothing, materialism, prostitution, etc. But we concentrate on the good part and discard what is not positive or healthy. We are born free; it is up to us to make good choices. Again, we ought to work in solidarity to bring harmony where there may be discord. Together, we are strong; alone we are weakmerely dust in the wind.

 

16.          What do you think of our children today?

 

I love children very much. They are the sparkle in our life and the mirror of Gods love to all Humanity. Whenever I am surrounde by children, I feel strongly the presence of God among us. I love their unlimited creativity, spontaneous behaviour, zest and enthusiasm, innocence & purity of thinking. As for fashion, some of them do not seem to know how to dress up anymore. I blame people who design fashion for this. Unfortunately, our children today have no more time to live their childhood authentically. They are rushed too fast into adulthood. This is expressed through fashion, cosmetics, dating etc. Unfortunately, this is becoming a great burden on our children although they are not aware of it. Many of our children, are lost on many levels : spiritually (no faith or ethics), psychologically (miserable for not enjoying their childhood), physically (losing their original image of childhood), economically (burdened by materialism and egoism), etc. Let our children live their childhood at their own rhythm without being rushed to adulthood and strengthen their roots. If we do not help them and guide them, they will become sooner or later lost children living in misery and despair in the years to follow.

 

 

17.          Who are you?

 

I am a Lost Child whos been in Search for an Identity (song #19) for long years; finally, I found it in the Lord and became the Prodigal Child. Now that I have acquired Joy & Peace, in my turn, I would like to share it through the AFM of Peace with the whole world through singing, dancing, narrating my own plays, poems, and short stories, playing my own music on the guitar and the piano; all this is done in simplicity and poverty.

 

18.            What do think of money?

 

It is a form of slavery for the rich, an economic temporary freedom for the poor, and for the middle class, it is a fake harmony whenever they hang on to it. By witnessing human suffering, I believe strongly money is the main factor for human misery. Let us think for one moment about all the paper work one has to do everyday to keep up with billing and keeping it up-to-date without falling behind because of money shortage etc. Think for one minute the credit cards and other banking daily transitions. Oh what a burden man has created to himself! What is happening to us and where is this leading us to? Are we truly happy with this complicated financial system? Where did we go wrong? Who created money and why?

 

19.          Do you have a hero in your life?

 

Our Father who gave His only beloved son to become a sacrifice for all humanity; Jesus and His mother Mary who willingly accepted to give her only son tosave humanity, and Jesus for being so courageous to have carried this big cross to save us from eternal misery. Last but not least, every person who sows peace through the history of mankind from Alpha to Beta world-widely speaking. I love them all!

 

20.          Any advice for the children?

 

Yes! I would like to urge every child and teenager to never imitate others except for the good healthy habits. It is important to be oneself; otherwise, deep in the heart, this person cannot be happy. We can always learn from the elders and wise people, but we should never loose our identity and become the image of others. For everyone is blessed with great gifts and talents which are given freely by the Creator from the day we were born. All we need is to believe in ourselves.

 

21.          Any comments about suicide?

 

Yes, I think the materialism is a great burden and a source of stress to the rich and poor. Man has no choice but to submit to the present conditions. True happiness is found in Faith in the Ultimate Power, the Creator, God of Love. We are all Gods children and it is a great error to detach ourselves from our Source of spiritual, psychological, and physical nourishment. Oh what major error when human beings reject this essential force of survival, the best pure energy, which is the basic nourishment and therapy for our soul, mind, and body

 

Also, I would like to encourage young and adults to wear more brightly coloured clothing, even in the winter. Nowadays, the present fashion put more emphasis on dark colours and this can have a depressive effect on our souls, minds, and bodies.

 

Also, I strongly urge the young and the old to get in contact with Mother Nature; to breath the fresh air and nourish their souls and bodies with its everlasting beauty. Let our hearts beat in unison and simultaneously with her heart beat. This harmonic rhythm is revealed in many ways, such as the oceans powerful waves, the clapping of the trees, the singing of the birds etc.. Go ahead my dear children and smell the fragrance of the beautiful flowers and inhale the fresh air. Go out and tickle Mother Nature with your own little feet and dance with the wind, and last but not least, get rocked in her arms by her tender gentle breeze. In return, she will give you the best reflexology free foot massage to refresh and renew your energy and gives you physical strength. And so, you shall bring back her beautiful smile which she has lost long years ago because of selfishness, egoism, and the mistreatment by some of her children who committed errors through lack of knowledge and ignorance. For the spirit of the Creator and His great Love for Humanity is found in the air and everywhere; in you, around you, above and beneath you, and in the lively heart beat of Mother Earth. Let us thank the Creator and Mother Earth for all blessings, nourishment for our soul and body.

 

22. What do you think of Michael Moore?

 

I think there are some truth in what he states, but I do not know to which extent people should believe in everything he says. The intention is very likely to be good and is to reveal the truth in a very constructive way; however, there is still this chance someone finding a path for success, money, and fame. There is always the possibility to find a bit of exaggeration in things he declares, and he may have a bit tilt some facts which could not be utterly based on truth. At this stage, I do not know; truth will reveal itself one day. Most people love fame and money. The fear that he may be falling into this inevitable condition which may lead him into the wrong path and take him away from his sincere essential mission. Only time will tell how much truth or false information In all which was revealed to us.

 

God shed His Light more and more in our days to help us distinguish falsehood from Truth in order to open the eyes of the blind. His sole intention is not to condemn anyone, but rather to educate and encourage all the lost children to re-examine their conscience. He wishes to encourage all humanity to correct their mistakes committed due to our weaknesses. This is our constant battle and continuous struggle from the day we were born. As we reach the edge of our lives, freedom and happiness will be measured with the effort put forth, and constant struggles facing deviated behaviour, darkness, and corruption. People who never make any efforts to be good and take life too easily for granted, will eventually fall into a deep trap of slavery and addiction to materialism. This misbehaviour should be avoided by people in order not to lose their sight and fall into a total darkness in their life. For, falling is very human, but getting up on ones feet and declaring victory against our weaknesses is truly divine!

 

23. Any Friendly Message for all the Children?

 

Please seek the Truth, True Pure Love and Light, and once you find it hide it permanently in your heart for the rest of your life and never let any negative force take it away from you. Hold on to Love tightly!

 

24.          Did you ever go to a hair salon?

 

Yes, to my memory, I did three times in my life for my graduation from primary and highschool; however, as soon as I came back from there, I undone my hairdo. I hate everything which is artificial while on the contrary, I love everything natural, original, and like to keep things beautiful and simple. I do my own hairstyle and braids which is often as nice as what the work done in hair salon.

 

25.          Tell us a little about your beautiful song  Doumini .

 

As people by now realize that I reserve a big place for Mother of God, St. Mary. The fact that I was deprived from mothers love, I had to search for a substitute for this lost love. So, through my faith, I found a greater love which surpasses all earthly love in Virgin Mary. She was and is my soul refuge in time of difficulties.

 

The title of this song is not Doumini; it is A Call for Mercy to Virgin Mary. It is about a little child facing wars and danger and rushing in the arms of his mother to find security and Peace. This enfant is me, jeannette of nazareth. I composed this song in Fredericton, NB in March 1987 facing a church by a river. I wish through this song to touch the heart of the listener to encourage them to contribute in their own little way towards peace.

 

26.          What is this rumour about your cousin taking credit for this song?

 

Well, as I have language weakness in Arabic, I asked my cousin Joseph in 1988 whether he could translate some of my song English songs to Arabic. A year later, 1989, he translated about four songs of mine, and reviewed this particular song of mine #25 stating he liked it. So now, I have my own original version which I composed in 1987 and his corrected version (1989). As he is the head of the choir at the Annunciation Basilica in Nazareth, he introduced my song and ever since, it is sung in this above mentioned beautiful church which is a source of joy yet sadness

 

For, I was thrilled to hear this good news and seeing my dream come true to be able to share my songs with many! Based on this, I had the urge to visit my home city Nazareth in 1991, sixteen yrs. later since my departure in 1973. To my surprise, at the end of Sunday mass, I heard the choir singing my song. This was one of my big dreams : to be able to share this song with people. I was thrilled! However, as I was stepping out the basilica, one of my relatives was arguing with my cousin, Joseph that the song is mine and not Josephs. During this trip, I distributed for free about 100 copies of audio-cassettes in the Holy Land to friends, relatives, and nuns and priests. To stop this quarrel, I declined to argue about this matter to seek peace. Saying to myself when time comes, truth shall reveal in time and place.

 

I asked many times my cousin Joseph to send a recording of song #25 in the voice of the choir; he promised me to do so several times; but for some reason which is beyond my understanding, he never ever did so. Why? Also, when they interpreted my music and songs voluntarily, I asked to send me a copy of my music alone whithout singing; for some reason, they never didFor I wanted my children to sing my songs. Fifteen years went by, I have not received what I requested. Why? Only time will tell! Did they wish to have all the credit for all my composition? When someone do volunteer work, neither egoism, nor materialism should ever come in betweenFor my cousins family and I have one goal: to achieve Joy and Peace in the heart of Humanity. True? I guess, we all fall into weaknesses sometimes. For this I forgive them.

 

This incident reminds me of a French lady writer who composed many beautiful stories, but her name was burried for years while her husband took credit for work and made a fortune with it. Today, after analyzing her master work of literature, it has been proven that a man could never have composed such a book. For her feminine spirit is inevitably revealed in the choice of words, images, feelings, punctuations etc. Ladys writing style differs from that of men. What I tell my audience; our identity is unveiled through our songs, literature, music, visual arts, etc. for it is a reflection of our lives. Joseph had good parents; he was not deprived from mothers love. Also, we can hear right through my song A Call for Mercy to the Virgin Mary the achy spirit of Jeannette as a child and a mother simultaneously. The combination of the image of an insecure crying child transfigured into a caring mother. Can you feel what I feel? Do you see what I see? Yes, it hurts a lot because I always loved this family. I love them so much, yet I am hurt by this deception. For, they were like parents to me. Now, they cut me off as many did because I dedicate all the rest of my life for world peace. It is not always easy to express our feelings and thoughtsI am sure you understand my message. For this reason, I decided to integrated some related documentation in the film : Jeannette of Nazareth to clarify and archive everything in regard to this issue to avoid any confusion when my journey on Earth shall come to an end. In Jan. 26, 1989 I translated this song into Eng. and French to help my audience understand the meaning seeking to pass the AFM of Peace to the whole world through this song. I thank you for understanding!

 

27.          Do you pray sometimes?

 

Yes, all the time everywhere I go. Sometimes in conventional ways and more often in an informal way. Everytime I go for a walk or hop on the bus, I pray for the healing of everone (to their family, friends, and relatives) who at the reach of my eyes close far from me wherever they are at this moment. I approach the Creator as a little child carries on a conversation with his/her father no more no less. I even tease Him and we often laugh. I speak to Him as a best and closest friend I ever had to whom I can confide all my secrets without being afraid to be condemned. For, He projects so much love in His presence; fear flows away from me and all who are with me. For He is Love!

 

From the time I leave home till the time I come back, I project positive energy and say short prayers for everyone I come across while on foot or in the bus, train, boat, or airplane etc.. I ask God to intervene in the Lost Children lives on all levels (physically, psychologically, spiritually, even economically), to heal them and bring them Home to experience harmony, Joy, and Inner Peace. As for people who do have faith in God, I pray so that their faith becomes as strong as ever.

 

I do this too through my profession as a massage therapist. Every time I have a client I confide their life in the hands of God to renew their faith and heal them in every way. I bring Gods healing energy to each person through my work to touch them deeply with the unconditional love he reserves to all humanity. I ask Him to alleviate their pain on all levels and enable His Lost children to find at last Joy and Peace.

 

I believe nomatter what religion we belong to; as long as we worship the Ultimate Power called God of Wisdom, Love, Freedom, Light, Justice, Purity, Joy, and Peace, everytime we kneel down to pray God; Humanity is in Unison in its diversity of colour, race, culture, or religion. We are all children of God and all equal in His eyes, as we lift up our soul to Him and soar our wing above all materialism and egoism. This is the most precious sacred time of our life when Humanity unite with our Heavenly Father, God of all Creation who did, is, and shall reign on Earth to shed His Light, Love, Joy and Peace on all Humanity now and forever!

 

May Joy and Peace reign in everyones heart now and forever!
