Fr Doucette - "I am calling you to holiness" - Sun, July 20, 2008
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"I am calling you to holiness"
Sunday, July 20, 2008
Dear Friends,
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5: 11 12
We had a find day yesterday with sunshine for most of the day. There were clouds in the late afternoon and a few drops of rain but nothing much. Today there are clouds but they are fast disappearing and the sun will come out later on.
Father Nicholas and I celebrated Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island yesterday morning. I will go to Miminegash Church this morning at 9:00 a.m. for Sunday Mass and this afternoon there will be a concert of religious songs at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of priesthood of our pastor, Father Art Pendergast. There will be a reception after the concert in the hall nearby. Many people are expected for this celebration.
I continue to quote the words of Jesus given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, My dear friends, I am calling you to holiness, which is a state of being by which I come first in your life and you do everything out of love, love for Me and love for all your brothers and sisters. No one can enter heaven unless that person is holy. You cannot become holy on your own. You need My help, My grace, in order to advance along the road that leads to holiness. Each person has the capacity to reach the heights of holiness if he or she cooperates with My grace.
The first step on the way to holiness is called purification. We need to be purified from sin and from the attraction to sin. Let us now look at an example. If a person has the habit to curse and in every sentence he or she utters a curse word, that person has to get rid of this bad habit and stop cursing. It is not possible to stop it on your own; you need my help to overcome this habit. I am always ready to give you the grace and the strength to do it. Every person has his or her good points and some bad ones too. All need to get rid of the bad ones. Some have the habit of gossiping, talking about others. This is sinful and those who gossip have to work hard with My help to stop it. The more you can say no to sin and get rid of the habit to sin, the holier you will become.
The second stage is the positive aspect of your work for holiness. You need to pray every day and to go to Mass at least every Sunday. You should go to receive the sacrament of reconciliation (confession) at least once a month. You should be ready to help those in need and to pray for the sick and those who are suffering in any way. You will love My Blessed Mother and pray the rosary every day. Read the Bible often and live in union with Me. In this way you will build a strong relationship with Me, which will bring you much peace, love and joy. In following Me, you will be on the right path to holiness.

Message to Carol Ameche July 13,2008
External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, July 13, 2008
My dear ones, I am your God and Father. I am your Creator; and I remind you
that I sustain your life every second of every moment of every day, in My love
and with the might of My arm. It is good that you remember this and praise and
thank Me, that you count on My power as I count on the power and the gifts which
I have given to you, My dear ones. I speak to everyone in the world who serves
Me by serving each other and preparing to serve My lost ones who will come to
you. You bring the greatest joy to Me, My dear ones, as I watch you fulfilling
My directives, My decisions for you, the difficulties I allow to occur in your
lives to strengthen you, to teach you.
How I love you, My children! That is what is important, Faith, Hope and Love
and the greatest of these is Love. You are My loving children. You bless the
world. You will save the world, My faithful ones, with your prayers and your
goodness to each other and to Me. Continue to reach out to those in need, to
those who are sad or frightened or worried about the future. Reach out to them
even if it is only in prayer. That is the best, is it not, My children?
I speak to you today to remind you of My love for you, so that you will count
that, count on Me, so that you will depend on My care and My concern and the
gifts I still have in reserve for you when they are needed. You are ready for
battle. You are in battle, My children; and you are winning the fight. You
will know setbacks. You will know disappointments; but you believe because I
have given you the gift that you will live, and win, and fight another day. You
are the most blessed people in the world; and I speak to all of you again who
listen and pray, who practice being a servant of the Triune God and Holy Mother
and each other. Remember these things. Live as a servant of God. Live in joy
and thanksgiving. Never will I say that too often to you, because it is who you
have become all these years. You have listened well and put into action all I
ask of you. What more could I ask?
My dear ones, be at peace. Be filled with the peace of My Jesus. It is the
greatest gift He gives you after the gift of Himself. Everything you want,
everything you need, everything you hope for is found in Jesus Christ, My
beloved Son. Praise Him. Rejoice because of Him. Rejoice in Him. Rejoice.
You are My beloved ones and I thank you again for saying ?yes? so many years ago
and here you still are, Mighty warriors who wait in joyful hope, who wait as My
servants. Thank you, My dear ones, for living your love, for living your ?Yes?.
Thank you for the power you have accepted in following My Son. I love you, My
little ones. You bring such joy to all of Heaven. Think of it. Think of that,
My children, how you are bringing joy to Heaven. Amen, My dear ones. How we
love each other, the way it is supposed to be, My children. Amen, Amen, Amen."

This is What I Heard July 19, 2008
6:50 AM
From the Father
Son, do something to mitigate my just anger. Spend time in prayer and ask
others to do so. If not, the events I see taking place immediately will be of
such enormous proportion that life would turn out radically different for many.
But I have the power to suspend even for a brief moment of time any destructive
event which I see befalling on various places on earth.
Pray for mercy. I take no delight in seeing devastation. My judgment must be
tempered with mercy and love. There is a balance but when the dispensation of
justice tips the scale, judgments will proceed without let up and SO THE SEALS
ARE BROKEN. But how many will take heed and pray? How many do believe my
words? They do not know because they chose not to know as they are afraid, but
that will not make my judgments disappear.
Shall I pour them now?

Scripture Reference:
Revelation 6:1-17 (New International Version)
The Seals
1I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of
the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" 2I looked, and
there before me was a white horse!
Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror
bent on conquest.
3When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say,
"Come!" 4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.
Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each
other. To him was given a large sword.
5When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say,
"Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding
a pair of scales in his hand. 6Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the
four living creatures, saying, "A quart[a] of wheat for a day's wages,[b] and
three quarts of barley for a day's wages,[c] and do not damage the oil and the
wine!"
7When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living
creature say, "Come!" 8I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its
rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were
given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and
by the wild beasts of the earth.
9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had
been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.
10They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true,
until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" 11Then each
of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer,
until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as
they had been was completed.
12I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun
turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red,
13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when
shaken by a strong wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every
mountain and island was removed from its place.
15Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty,
and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the
mountains. 16They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide
us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
17For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"

Jesus Asks Us to Strengthen Our Faith
Today we attended our usual 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of
Sorrows. After making small offerings to Jesus and Mary I prayed for all with
special needs and intentions.
In preparation of receiving the Sacred Host, the Body and Blood of Jesus, I
made a since Act Of Contrition.
After receiving the Body and Blood of Christ, I knelt in silent commune with
Jesus. Thanking Him for His many blessings, I prayed that my heart might only
hear words from Him, and that my soul might only see visions that were from Him.
Immediately, with both hands covering my face as I knelt, I began to see a
very black and very narrow long tunnel. Then Jesus spoke saying; Eileen my
child, although the road of life is often bleak and dark have no fear for it is
fear that evaporates faith and makes one the child of the evil one!
Remain in faith and trust and I will lead you safely again into the Light!
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and
sisters.
Message to J.N.S.R. April 8,2008
Wake up!
8 April 2008
JNSR: Time cannot stay on pause anymore. We must get it out of its lethargy, we must shake it to wake it up. It is like a cat who falls asleep in the sun on the doorstep, this door has to be opened. This cat is on the way!
The Time of God is also the Time of man who has reached his final choice: to ask for forgiveness or to refuse to do it.
When will man accept to receive the Sacraments?
When will the Holy Eucharist gather all mankind?Will all this time lost be one day recovered? The Holy Mass cannot be forgotten anymore because God’s Life is in It and without It, man is dying and everything is disappearing around him.
And life on this planet depends on man’s Faith.
The Church has a tremendous responsibility . When is she going to ring the bell to remind man of his great responsibility? The only thing we can hear from everywhere is the screams of hatred and the cry of martyred children. We can hear people protesting and the angry sound of their footsteps on the pavement
.
Will we, one day, hear, raising from a procession towards the Heavens, singings and prayers imploring God for Peace in the World? May God hear us! Because God hears us. God wants to open His Door, but we don’t let Him do it because we are afraid to say that we are Christian and we want God who is Our Father.
We want God, He is Our King!
Let’s prepare ourselves to hear Jesus say to each of us as he said to Peter: Do you love Me you who is hiding? Don’t you recognise Me in all these Martyrs of Faith? Look at Me through them because I haven’t changed.
JESUS Christ
To His Church and all her members.

The Annunciation (Lk 1:38): Mary's fiat, "yes," to the Angel Gabriel gave us The Holy Eucharist. From the body of Jesus, formed within His Mother, came the flesh He gives us in the Blessed Sacrament. With each Hail Mary we pray we say "Yes" to life.
(From our Eucharistic Rosary pamphlet)
Mother Teresa -
You are to be that presence of Christ to each other. Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Charity is the yardstick with which the Lord will judge us all (AdFP560).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
No mystery as to why we have missed the Mystery "When minds abandon their concern about final destiny, they substitute for the mystery of what happens after death, the mystery of how someone was murdered. But mystery there must be."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
February 5, 1937. My Jesus, in spite of everything, I desire very much to unite myself to You. Jesus, if this be possible, take me to Yourself, for it seems to me that my heart will burst of longing for You!
Oh, how very much I feel that I am in exile! When will I find myself in the house of our Father, delighting in the happiness that streams from the Most Holy Trinity? But, if it is Your will that I still go on living and suffering, then I desire what You have destined for me. Keep me here on earth for as long as You wish, even though this be until the end of the world. O will of my Lord, be my delight and the rapture of my soul. Although the earth is so filled with people, I feel all alone, and the earth is a terrible desert to me. O Jesus, Jesus, You know and understand the fervors of my heart; You, O Lord, alone can fill me. (918)

July 20 - LOVE YOUR BROTHERS
Today, a message of love:
Love your Serbian, Orthodox, and Muslim brothers and even the atheists who persecute you (Special Message 1987)
Paul also speaks of the love and unity that marks God's family:
For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us that he might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it (Eph 2 :14-16).
Reflection:
There are many barriers that can divide us from other Christians: age, appearance, intelligence, politics, economic status, race, culture. Unfortunately, we can stifle Christ's love in catering only to those for whom we have a natural affinity.
But Christ broke these barriers and unified all believers into one family. As Paul says today, But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ the blood that was shed for all human beings without distinction. Thus the cross is the focus of our unity and our motivation for loving all God's children. As Jesus prayed to the Father at the Last Supper : The glory that you have given them, so that they maybe one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one (Jn 17 :22-23).
Application:
Today, pray to the Holy Spirit that he may help you look beyond the barriers of our differences, to the unity that we are all to share.
Medjugorje Day By Day July 19 - GIVE THANKS TO GOD
Of the Holy Eucharist, Bl. Elizabeth of the Holy Trinity writes: "O my beloved Christ, crucified by love . . . O Eternal Word, Word of my God, I want to spend my life in listening to You, to become wholly teachable that I may learn all from You. Then, through all nights, all voids, all helplessness, I want to gaze on You always and remain in Your great light. O my beloved Star, so fascinate me that I may now withdraw from Your radiance."
Mother Teresa -
He has shed the light, and you will take His light and lighten every heart you meet.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Charity is the queen of virtues. As pearls are held together by a string, so are the virtues held by charity. And just as the pearls fall if the string breaks, so are the virtues lost if charity fails (CE 11).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Think about what has filled our void today!
"An age without faith is an age of superstition. Religious belief is so essential to the heart that once it is cast aside, some false form is called in to fill the void. Unless the house is tenanted with goodness, seven devils worse than the first come in to dwell there."

The desires of my heart are so great and incomprehensible
That nothing can fill the abyss of my heart.
Even the most beautiful things,
gathered from all over the world,
Would not for a moment fill Your place for me, O God.
With one glance, I penetrated the whole world,
And I found no other love like the love of my heart.
Therefore I looked into the world of eternity-
Because this one is too small for me.
My heart has desired the love of the Immortal One.
My heart has sensed that I am a royal child,
That I have found myself in exile, in a foreign land.
I see that the heavenly palace is my home;
Only there will I feel as in my own fatherland.
You Yourself have drawn my soul to You, O Lord;
O Eternal Word, You Yourself have stooped to me,
Giving my soul a deeper knowledge of Yourself.
Behold, the mystery of love for which You have created me!
Pure love has made me strong and brave.
I fear neither the Seraphim nor the Cherubim, standing with
sword in hand,
And I pass over with ease where others tremble,
Because there is nothing to fear, there where love is the guide.
And suddenly the eye of my soul came to rest upon You,
O Lord Jesus Christ, stretched upon the Cross.
Here is my Love, with whom I will rest in my grave.
This is my Bridegroom, my incomprehensible
Lord and God. (1632)

July 19 - GIVE THANKS TO GOD
In the fall of 1989, the Blessed Mother gave a message on gratitude:
Dear children, today I invite you to give thanks to God for all the gifts you have been given in the course of your life. Thank him even for the smallest gifts you have received. I give thanks with you and hope that you will experience joy in all these gifts. I want God to be everything to you. Then, dear children, you can continue to grow in the way of holiness. (Monthly Message September 25, 1989).
Psalm 30 also speaks of giving thanks and praise to God:
You have turned my mourning into dancing;
You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, So that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever. Psalm 30 :11-12
Reflection:
Some time ago, a 70-year-old toymaker gave his toyshop to the children of Denmark. His house of toys, one of the biggest in the world, was started 157 years ago by his family. It was a favorite haunt of fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen, as well as hundreds of thousands of enchanted youngsters who romped through the five-story toyland.
When he announced that the toy store would be placed in trust for needy youngsters, the owner said, We
earned all our money from children, so it comes quite naturally to us to give the money back to the children, especially to those who have never had the joy that toys can give.
God abundantly blesses those who show gratitude; thus Our Lady calls us to give thanks to God for all the gifts you have discovered in the course of your life. This also draws us closer to him, for we begin to see the tremendous depth of his love, expressed in an endless array of gifts.
Application:
Live the Madonna's message today by taking several minutes to call to mind God's gifts, and then giving thanks for them. Can you include this as part of your daily prayer?
SAD NEWS
1 in 1000
For MANY ARE CALLED, but FEW ARE CHOSEN.?
(Matthew 22:14) Fear not LITTLE FLOCK, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.? (Luke 12:32)
The word ?little? is ?mikros? and it means LEAST, SMALL, TINY OR EXTREMELY
TINY. That is where we get our word MICRON, which means ONE THOUSANDTH OF A MILLIMETER. We could say ONE IN A THOUSAND. That is a very small num ber indeed! We should find a verification in the OLD TESTAMENT that indeed
there are only a very small number of people who actually become part of the TRUE FLOCK OF GOD, and who KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERY OF GOD:
?I know it is so of a truth:
but how should man be JUST with God?
If he (God) will contend with him,
HE CANNOT ANSWER HIM ONE OF A THOUSAND.?
(Job 9:2-3)
This is a very telling verse of Scripture and it goes right to the heart
of the matter: HOW IS A MAN MADE JUST OR JUSTIFIED BEFORE THE LORD? WHAT IS THE REAL MYSTERY OF BEING JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD? HOW IS IT DONE? If God were to come down upon earth and CONTEND WITH THOSE PROFESSING TO KNOW, ONLY ONE IN A THOUSAND COULD ANSWER GOD CORRECTLY. One in a thousand is a very small number: .001. The vast majority of Christians do not know the answer; they only think they know the answer. Speaking of man going to the grave, it says:
IF THERE BE A MESSENGER WITH HIM,
AN INTERPRETER,
ONE AMONG A THOUSAND,
TO SHEW UNTO MAN HIS UPRIGHTNESS;
Then he (God) is GRACIOUS TO HIM, AND SAITH,
DELIVER HIM FROM GOING DOWN TO THE PIT:
I HAVE FOUND A RANSOM.?
(Job 33:23-24)
This verse is equally telling and verifies that when Jesus used the term
LITTLE, that He was borrowing from the Old Testament, ONE IN A THOUSAND.
The messenger, the interpreter, is AGAPE LOVE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND IS THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THAT SAINT.
If that soul is clothed in the AGAPE LOVE
ROBES OF JESUS CHRIST, then God is merciful, and will deliver him from the
pits of hell. That soul FOUND A RANSOM. JESUS SAID SEEK UNTIL YOU FIND,
KNOCK UNTIL THE DOOR IS OPENED. THE RANSOM WAS Jesus Christ.
That SOUL IS THEN COVERED BY THE BLOOD; WHICH WAS THE RANSOM PRICE PAID. That soul ALSO FOUND THE LIVING JESUS CHRIST, THE MYSTERY OF God, THE MYSTERY OF AGAPE LOVE. All others go to the pit.
BEHOLD, THIS HAVE I FOUND,
SAITH THE PREACHER,
COUNTING ONE BY ONE,
TO FIND OUT THE ACCOUNT:
Which yet my soul seeketh, BUT I FIND NOT:
ONE MAN AMONG A THOUSAND
HAVE I FOUND;?
(Ecclesiastes 7:27-28)
Here we find yet another verification of this difficult saying. ONE MAN IN
A THOUSAND CAN ANSWER CORRECTLY. That which the soul seeketh after, that
which is so desperately wanted within the human soul is AGAPE LOVE.
Without it the soul dies, is eternally separated from its Creator and goes
to the pit. With AGAPE LOVE AS THE INTERPRETER, one finds the mercy of
God. If this be the case, then HOW MUCH MORE SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED THAT WE FIND THE TRUTH AND UNLOCK THE MYSTERY OF GOD?
It is a hard thing to understand, but God calls many out of the world into
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many are called INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE
SHEEPFOLD. Out of the many, God chooses THE FEW, CALLED OVERCOMERS. IT IS A SELECTION PROCESS, AND THIS PROCESS IS BASED UPON ONE THING: OBEDIENCE TO THE COMMANDS OF CHRIST. It is not God’s will that ANY perish; yet He knows ALL UNBELIEVERS WILL, AS WELL AS THE VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS.
What is the dividing line? What causes God to select one and not another?
We must at all cost find the Scriptural answer.
For ye see YOUR CALLING, BRETHREN,
how that NOT MANY wise men after the flesh,
NOT MANY MIGHTY, NOT MANY NOBLE,
ARE CALLED.? (1 Corinthians 1:26)
If not many are called, then how many? ONLY A FEW, ONE IN A THOUSAND. The
call of the Gospel is no joke; it is the most serious of all callings. If
you neglect the call, then you are in serious trouble for eternity. DO NOT
NEGLECT THE CALL OF GOD, GIVE ALL DILIGENCE TO IT. The vast majority of
Christians are going to eternal ruin. It is interesting to note that even
the apocrypha says the same thing:
Because ONLY A FEW WILL BE SAVED,
God created TWO WORLDS, instead of only one.
As you say, ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE RIGHTEOUS,
But there are LARGE NUMBERS of wicked people (2 Esdras 7:50-51)
It’s the same with the judgment I have promised:
I WILL BE PLEASED WITH THE FEW WHO WILL BE
SAVED, because they are the ones who now praise and honour me and make my name
known. I WILL NOT BE SAD ABOUT THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WHO WILL BE LOST?? (2 Esdras 7:60-61)
PLEASE READ THAT AND LET THE IMPACT OF THAT STATEMENT SEEP INTO YOUR BRAIN. ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WILL BE SAVED, ONLY A FEW PEOPLE EVER FIND THE AGAPE LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. AMONG HIS OWN PEOPLE, ONLY A FEW WILL ESCAPE. THE OTHERS, WHO WERE DISOBEDIENT, DID NOT MAKE IT. That is strange indeed, for I never met a Christian that was not going to heaven, and I
never went into a church that was not preaching the truth. SOMEONE IS IN
RANK DECEPTION.
Mankind does not respond to such negative news. In order
to package Jesus Christ and sell Him to the masses, the false prophets
must make Him palatable to the vast majority, so the NEGATIVE COMMANDS,
AND THE NEGATIVE CONFIRMATIONS GIVEN IN SCRIPTURE WILL BE ELIMINATED OR CONCEALED. The ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS (ALL NEGATIVE) that lead to authentic regeneration and union with Christ are done away with VIA THEOLOGY AND DOCTRINE.

What a day it will be when My New Era is recognized. It will be preceded by the

"When you encounter people who do not respond to the truth, wipe the dust from
your path and advance in faith. I will direct and guide you always, for My
people are thirsty and My lambs await you. Proclaim the Good News, for the
birth of My New Era is laboring. Be at peace, pray, and march on victoriously
for you are all bathed in the light of My resurrection. Raise the Banner and go
in My peace fly on eagles' wings, My royal court of holy angels precedes you,
they go before you and they stand to your right and to your left, at My
command."

"My Father is pleased with your work and in your ardent desire to serve
Me. Go forth in My peace to proclaim My word - hold the lantern high so that My
sheep will be enlightened by truth. Take no time in the preparation of the
Banner in which My Mother has given you instructions. This is important, as it
is a gift to you and all of My children. This Banner will be distributed, prior
to the triumph of My Mother?s holy and immaculate heart. A great war is raging
between good and evil. This Banner will herald great blessings and protection
of miraculous importance, for on the side of My Banner, no evil will befall.
Take time out for prayer for it is there that My Mother will instruct you with
the inscription to the Banner."

"I call out to you, oh children of Israel. Wake up, listen to My voice.
Take time to be quiet for you are all caught up in the ways of the world, you
shall cry out for My mercy as in days of old, from the Mount of Zion. I have
sent My Mother amongst you so many times; Her pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
People in authority are full of pride, self-righteousness, and arrogance.
"The day is fast approaching and is on the horizon when My Mother's holy
and immaculate heart will be triumphant. All of the saints, angels, and
seraphim stand ready - all of the hierarchy of heaven will rejoice, what a
joyous day it will be. Prepare your Banner, prepare your Banner; march on in My
truth for all of My faithful are kept under the watchful gaze of My Mother's
maternal love and protection. Stay suited in holy armor. Call on the help of
your guardian angels; do not underestimate the power given to them by Me to
guide and protect My faithful."

"Little one, take flight like the birds of the sky; soar on the wings of eagles.
Oh, how I desire for all of My children to hear My voice for them to open their
hearts to Me, for I am thirsty for their love. It is only a few of My faithful
that quench My thirst. Oh children of Israel, wake up I say, wake up. Harden
not your hearts for I desire to consume you in My Divine love. Oh daughter of
My Heart, continue to march on; the mission you have set out upon is the will of
My Father. All has been predestined. Hold your Banner high for the Banner
bearing and exclaiming the triumphant reign of My Mother?s heart will be like a
magnet attracting the faithful and non-faithful. All evil will be banished.
The protection that this Banner holds is immeasurable. Behold the reign of the
immaculate heart of My Mother. The angels will escort the Banner wherever it
is. Special grace will be imparted to whomever?s eyes rest upon it. My healing
love will pour from the very fibers that weave the cloth; so powerful will it
be."

"As you lead My people out of exile, you will hold My Mother's
Banner, high. This single piece of Holy Cloth will call My faithful. It will
illumine their path through the dark hour. Have the courage of a lion as you
march on victoriously to the highest summit. For all will be fulfilled.

"Anyone who looks upon My Mother's Banner will be filled with inexhaustible
grace and will be visibly moved; for My grace flows from every fiber. For My
heavenly angels stand ready to escort this single piece of Holy Cloth. They
will stand guard over it at all times. This single piece of Holy Cloth will
open up all doors. For anyone who looks upon it with true conviction, that My
Mother, the seat of all wisdom, is the queen of heaven and earth, will gain
everything from Me. I will bless them, their children, and their children's
children, for all generations."

"The Banner waves, My precious pearl, it will be handed to you. My
very grace pours forth from every fiber of the weave. My children will be
visibly moved as they experience My power pouring forth from this single piece
of Holy Cloth. Healings upon healings will be recognized. A great honor and
privilege will be theirs to whoever looks upon this single piece of Holy Cloth
and proclaims My Mother as queen of heaven and earth. The Coredemptrix and
Mediatrix of all grace. My heralding angels stand at My command, ready to take
their place, as they will stand guard over this Holy Cloth. They will escort it
wherever it goes. For no evil will befall this side of the Banner."

"Await My instructions as you raise the Banner high. Let all of the
earth - all nations rejoice. For the Son of Man brings His Kingdom the New
Jerusalem, by way of My Mother, to all nations. Behold the Son of Man beckons
out to all of mankind for My New Era is on the horizon."
A personal note from Mary Reilly
"So many times Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother confided to me that the banner
would go from town to town, country to country, and nation to nation. On
January 9, 2007, I experienced a profound confirmation from Heaven. January 9th
is a very special day to me because it is my mother's birthday. I was
especially missing my mother on that day (Our Lord had called her home 3 years
earlier) and before I went to bed I decided to read a magazine that I received
from a friend as a gift, just the day before. It was the 2006,
November/December issue. I began reading the letter from the editor (this
particular month they were featuring an article on St. Catherine Laboure' ) the
article went on to talk about a little known prophecy of St. Catherine's that
was given to her by Our Lady. The article stated to turn to page 15. As I did
my eyes went to the last paragraph on the bottom of the page where I read these
words:"
among the writings of St. Catherine Laboure', recounting her apparitions at Rue
du Bac, Paris, we read:' "Oh, how beautiful it will be to hear it said: Mary is
Queen of the universe. That will be a time of peace, joy, and happiness, which
will be long... She will be carried as a banner and will make a tour of the
world." The Virgin foretold that this time would come only after "the entire
world will be in sadness ... afterwards, peace."
"I cannot begin to describe to anyone, how seeing this in print made me feel. I
had been given a profound confirmation on my mother's birthday. A great grace
and gift from heaven! Knowing that I was given the great privilege of having
Our Lady's Banner made, and that I had it right here with me just waiting for
Our Lord's instructions. Waiting to receive His words as to where and when His
Mother's Miraculous Banner would be presented to the world. On June 6, 2007,
Our Lady's Banner was presented publicly for the first time at Tyburn Academy of
Mary Immaculate. This is the school that our beloved Father Shamon founded in
1993. The following message was given to me by Our Blessed Mother regarding Her
Banner."
Message from Our Lady of the Finger Lakes
As given to Mary S. Reilly on June 6, 2007
Wednesday, 5:19 pm
Behold, children of my Maternal heart, I am the Holy Mother of
God. How pleased I am that you have gathered in prayer.
Tonight, I present through my servant, my Banner. Behold, my Banner. This is a
special privilege to all of you. Behold, great blessings I bestow upon each and
every one of you.
Stay united in prayer as I continue to lead all of you to my Son.
The times you live in are troubling and full of much evil. Stay united with my
Son through the sacraments and prayer. I am always with you. Peace, my
children, peace.
"On May 5, 2008 at Our Lord's request, Our Lady's Banner was brought to Ireland
in a symbolic gesture to honor the martyrdom of the Irish people who valiantly
laid down their lives for their great love and devotion to Jesus and Our Lady.
"The Banner would lay claim to the blood soaked soil of the Irish Martyr's." A
week prior to our departure, I received a phone call from Ireland informing me
that I had been invited to march in a procession on the Feast Day of Our Lady of
Fatima, through the streets of Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland. This would be the
first time in 150 years that there would be a public procession and Our Lady's
Banner was to lead the procession. This is just the first of what will be many
presentations of Our Lady's Banner. Our Lord Jesus chose to honor Ireland with
the first presentation."
