FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )

From Jo Ann Riggio, RN I Extend the Baptism of Truth to you. Please accept it and pass it on.

Dear friends and family,

I extend the Baptism of Truth to you with all of my heart and love. Please accept it. Let me expain:

Sept 14-16, 09 I went on a pilgrimage to Holy Love, Maranantha Springs in Elyria Ohio. I have been there many times before. (www.holylove.org) It is an Ecumenical apparition site where Our Lady appears to a visionary as well as Jesus and some of the saints.

During the apparition, Our Lady invited those present to accept the Baptism of Truth, which I did as I was present on the United Hearts Field at the time. An angel was given to those who accepted this Baptism of Truth to guard the Truth in their hearts. Therefore, I believe I received one.

The other day , I received messages from Holy Love regarding the Baptism of Truth via their website. There are two messages for September 18, 2009. (www.holylove.org). In the first message, Our Lady says, "Those who were here present can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others simply by desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who recieve it." .......

The second message is from Jesus, He says , " ....I want to help you understand that the Baptism of Truth which you received in the field of the United Hearts on the Feast of My Mother's Sorrows, can change the heart of the world if proliferated with zeal. Do so then with Holy Love in your hearts.".... So my dear friends and family, I , with love in my heart and all the zeal within me extend this Baptism of Truth to you. Please accept it and pass it on to those you know and love and ask them to do the same. Together, with Jesus and Mary, let us all change the heart of the world! AMEN!

With all my love,

Jo Ann Riggio, RN

PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.

Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."

"You will make this known."

* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN

FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN

(QUESTION FOR DISCERNMENT- Is this swine flu ? H1n1? Sars? Bird flu? You do the prayerful research!)

As given by our BLESSED MOTHER MARYAM, August 5, 1880: "There will be a grave illness which human science will not be able to alleviate. This illness will attack firstly the heart, then the spirit, and at the same time, the tongue. It will be horrible.

The heat accompanying it will be a devouring fire insupportable and so intense that the members of the body affected will be red -- an unendurable fiery red. At the end of seven days this disease, sown like a seed in the field (incubation period) will spread everywhere rapidly and make great progress."

"My children, here is the ONLY remedy which could save you. You are familiar with the Hawthorn which grows practically in all hedges.

The leaves of the Hawthorn, not the wood, can arrest the progress of this disease."

"You will gather the leaves, not the wood. Even dry, they will keep their efficacy.

You will put them into boiling water and leave them there for 14 minutes, covering the receptacle so that the steam remains therein.

At the onset of this disease, one must use this remedy three times a day."

"This disease will produce a continual vomiting and nausea. If the remedy is taken too late, the part of the body affected will become black and in the black there will be seen a sort of pale, yellow streak."

NO ONE HAS TO BELIEVE ANYTHING! TEST. DISCERN THE SPIRIT!

A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)

Note: It is a tradition that the Hawthorn was the plant from which Pilate’s Roman soldiers wove the CROWN OF THORNS.

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father

For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of all, I consecrate myself to You, O' Eternal Father, as one of Your faithful remnant. Behold, I come to do Your Will. With the help of Your Grace, I will keep Your Commandments. I will love and reverence You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will love my neighbor as You love me.

I make this Consecration through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Your beloved Son, Jesus.

O' Eternal Father, send forth Your Holy Spirit to restore my/our broken image and likeness of You. Send forth also Your entire Heavenly Court, all the celestial choirs of Your angels and all Your Saints, to aid me/us in my/our struggle against all the forces of evil in this present darkness. Amen. (Adapted from the Father of All Mankind Apostolate).

The Lord's Prayer

How many of us have said the “Our Father” with so little thought, so little reverence, and so little fruitfulness? However, when we are open to the Holy Spirit within us and pray from the heart, look at what can happen:"

Our Father, (“Our” Father—not “My” Father - all of God’s children of all races, all colors & all creeds)

Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)

Who art in Heaven, (and Who art in me)

Hallowed be Thy Name. (Holy be Thy Name, praised be Thy Name, thanks be to Thy Most Holy Name)

Thy Kingdom come. (now - on earth and in me)

Thy Will be done, (now - on earth and in me)

on earth as it is in Heaven. (at the Throne of God, with the Trinity, Our Lady and all the Angels and Saints)

Give us this day our daily bread. (the Bread of your Divine Will, the Bread of Life in the Eucharist, and the bread we need to eat to sustain our bodies)

And forgive us our trespasses(forgive us our sins, our imperfections and our hesitancies in the face of temptation)

As we forgive those (or as we choose not to forgive those) who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,(for we are weak, we are worthless, we are wretched & we are nothing)

But deliver us from evil.(for it is only through your grace, not by our works alonenor our merit that we can escape eternal damnation)

Amen. (So I hope. So be it).

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.

Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.

Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

My child, there is soon to be a great denouncement of the work in which I have been doing to draw souls closer to My Most Sacred Heart. This is a time of prayer My daughter for the world is soon to face great turmoil. Now go forth for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will prevail.

Message from Jesus to patsy soto Oct.24,2009

 

You may release it, and also my message to you.

 

What a beautiful and encouraging message. I was pleased to see all the messages that Our Lady gave to Juan Diego.

‘…As for your own ill health, remember that Our Lady at Medjugorje many times tells us that she needs our prayers and fasting, penances, sufferings, sacrifices, crosses. Dark prayer and sufferings also purify us of our self will and open us to accepting an living in obedience to God's will for us. Be assured of my prayers’

Message from Jesus to patsy soto received - Saturday, October 24, 2009 @ 2:13 pm

ended at 2: 35 pm

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations......

I plead your most Precious Blood over the words you give our Jesus please take away all that is not of you.......Beloved Daughter my little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart. It has been a while that I have given you words for the world, but this day as many are hearing the words of wars, catastrophes, calamities, earth shattering news breaking are My Children LISTENING?

I do not come this day to give you words of warning, no My little one, I come to ask for prayer, for it is only prayer that can change this world. I know you are not understanding why I have brought you back and taken so much from you, oh My little one do not be sad for it is through surrendering your all, being stripped of all that is not of Me, leaving you alone that you can draw closer to Me.

Yes, I understand the difficulties you have in prayer that is darkness of the soul My Little One and you will see that once this darkness leaves you will enjoy only LIGHT, MY LIGHT My little one. Yes I am asking you to have a NFWP in December with My Beloved Fr. Melvin and for those of My children who will attend will see not only My Love and My Mercy but will know and see My Holy Mother.

For this is the time of Her annual NFWP in a land where sin abounds but My MERCY WILL OVERTAKE! It has been many years that you have done this novena in honor of My Beloved Mother, from December 4 through December 12, 2009 she will be there each day and many will see and not believe but will know THAT SHE IS as she said to Juan Diego- Know and understand well, you the most humble of my son, that I am the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth.

I wish that a temple be erected here quickly, so I may therein exhibit and give all my love, compassion, help, and protection, because I am your merciful mother, to you, and to all the inhabitants on this land and all the rest who love me, invoke and confide in me; listen there to their lamentations, and remedy all their miseries, afflictions and sorrows.

And to accomplish what my clemency pretends, go to the palace of the bishop of Mexico, and you will say to him that I manifest my great desire, that here on this plain a temple be built to me; you will accurately relate all you have seen and admired, and what you have heard. Be assured that I will be most grateful and will reward you, because I will make you happy and worthy of recompense for the effort and fatigue in what you will obtain of what I have entrusted. Behold, you have heard my mandate, my humble son; go and put forth all your effort.

Second Apparition

Hark, my son the least, you must understand that I have many servants and messengers, to whom I must entrust the delivery of my message, and carry my wish, but it is of precise detail that you yourself solicit and assist and that through your mediation my wish be complied.

I earnestly implore, my son the least, and with sternness I command that you again go tomorrow and see the bishop. You go in my name, and make known my wish in its entirety that he has to start the erection of a temple which I ask of him. And again tell him that I, in person, the ever-virgin Holy Mary, Mother of God, sent you.

Third Apparition

 

Well and good, my little dear, you will return here tomorrow, so you may take to the bishop the sign he has requested. With this he will believe you, and in this regard he will not doubt you nor will he be suspicious of you; and know, my little dear, that I will reward your solicitude and effort and fatigue spent of my behalf. Lo! go now. I will await you here tomorrow.

Fourth Apparition

Hear me and understand well, my son the least, that nothing should frighten or grieve you. Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear that sickness, nor any other sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who is your Mother? Are you not under my protection?

Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold? What else do you wish? Do not grieve nor be disturbed by anything. Do not be afflicted by the illness of your uncle, who will not die now of it. be assured that he is now cured.

(And then his uncle was cured, as it was later learned.)

When Juan Diego heard these words from the Lady from heaven

 

Climb, my son the least, to the top of the hill; there where you saw me and I gave you orders, you will find different flowers. Cut them, gather them, assemble them, then come and bring them before my presence.

 

My son the least, this diversity of roses is the proof and the sign which you will take to the bishop. You will tell him in my name that he will see in them my wish and that he will have to comply to it. You are my ambassador, most worthy of all confidence.

Rigorously I command you that only before the presence of the bishop will you unfold your mantle and disclose what you are carrying. You will relate all and well; you will tell that I ordered you to climb to the hilltop, to go and cut flowers; and all that you saw and admired, so you can induce the prelate to give his support, with the aim that a temple be built and erected as I have asked.

 

My Beloved little one go over these words, read these words over in your heart, that all that may listen, may read, may understand the GRACES I WILL SHOWER UPON EACH WHO WILL HONOR MY REQUEST TO ATTEND THIS URGENT NOVENA FOR WORLD PEACE that has been given each year during this time of My Holy Mother's apparition as Our Lady of Guadalupe QUEEN OF PEACE!

I love you My little one, give this to your Spiritual Director that He May Know as He Will understand all that I am requesting, I love you My Daughter, My Little one remain in My Peace and My Love, your Jesus of Mercy

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 27 - GROW IN YOUR WORK FOR THE CHURCH

 

Medjugorge Message of October 25, 2007

"Dear children! Today the Lord permitted me to tell you again that you live in a time of grace. You are not conscious, little children, that God is giving you a great opportunity to convert and to live in peace and love.

You are so blind and attached to earthly things and think of earthly life. God sent me to lead you toward eternal life. I, little children, am not tired, although I see that your hearts are heavy and tired for everything that is a grace and a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Message of October 25, 2004

"Dear children! This is a time of grace for the family and, therefore, I call you to renew prayer. May Jesus be in the heart of your family. In prayer, learn to love everything that is holy. Imitate the lives of saints so that they may be an incentive and teachers on the way of holiness. May every family become a witness of love in this world without prayer and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Message of October 25, 2005

"Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love.

Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call."

"Be consumed in honoring Him and . . . acknowledge the burning love He shows us in this wonderful Sacrament. Here His love holds Him captive till the end of time. It is of this one can truly say, 'Love triumphs, love enjoys/Love finds in God its joys!" (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque).

Mother Teresa - Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will grow big enough to receive Him and keep Him as your own.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - The Spirit of God is a Spirit of peace and even in the most serious faults He makes us feel a sorrow that is tranquil, humble, and confident and this is precisely because of His mercy.

 

The spirit of the devil, instead, excites, exasperates and makes us feel, in that very sorrow, anger against ourselves, whereas we should on the contrary be charitable with ourselves first and foremost.

 

Therefore, if any thought agitates you, this agitation never comes from God, who gives you peace, being the Spirit of Peace, but from the devil.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The Greatness of God is so often forgotten

 

"Humility which gives preference to others is not very popular today, principally because men have forgotten the Greatness of God. By expanding our puny little self to the infinite, we have made the true Infinity of God seem trivial. The less knowledge we have of anything the more insignificant it seems."

 

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus, hide me; just as You have hidden Yourself under the form of the white Host, so hide me from human eyes, and particularly hide the gifts which You so kindly grant me. May I not betray outwardly what You are effecting in my soul. I am a white host before You, O Divine Priest. Consecrate me Yourself, and may my transubstantiation be known only to You.

I stand before You each day as a sacrificial host and implore Your mercy upon the world. In silence, and unseen, I will empty myself before You; my pure and undivided love will burn, in profound silence, as a holocaust. And may the fragrance of my love be wafted to the foot of Your throne. You are the Lord of lords, but You delight in innocent and humble souls. (1564)

Quote of the Day In truth, the soul can possess no better insight for knowledge than to perceive its own nothingness. -St. Angela of Foligno

 

"Lex orandi, lex credendi" is a form of the axiom of Pope St. Celestine I: "Legem credendi statuit lex orandi." This is often translated "The rule of prayer determines the rule of faith." This is an idea used to help explain the interaction between liturgy, and doctrine.

This idea uses liturgy and prayers as tools to help understand, explain and pass on the important doctrines of the Church. An obvious example of this the Creed we pray at Mass. The Creed states what we believe, it can be taught easily to others, and it can help us understand our Faith.

 

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. -

 

OCTOBER 27 - GROW IN YOUR WORK FOR THE CHURCH In this weekly message, Our Lady issues a special call

 

Dear children, today I wish to call you to work within the church. I love each of you equally and desire that you do this work as much as possible. I know that you can, dear children, but you feel small and inadequate in these things. You need to be courageous and, like little flowers, grow in your work for the church and for Jesus. This will be good for everyone. (Weekly Message October 31, 1985).

 

In 1 Corinthians, Paul also calls the people to ministry :

 

Now, brothers and sisters, you know that members of the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints; I urge you to put yourselves at the service of such people, and of everyone who works and toils with them (1 Cor 16 :15-16).

 

Reflection: At our confirmation, we were commissioned to assume an active role in the church as adult Christians. Today St. Paul and Our Lady remind us of that role, asking that we translate it into concrete action.

 

An illustration : In the 1930's a young traveler was exploring the French Alps when he came upon a vast stretch of barren, desolate land. In the middle of this vast wasteland was a stooped old man with a sack of acorns on his back and a four-foot-long iron pipe in his hand.

 

The man was using the iron pipe to punch holes in the ground. Then from the sack he would take an acorn and put it in the hole. The old man told the traveler, " I've planted over 100,000 acorns. Maybe only a tenth of them will grow. " The old man's wife and son had died, and this was how he spent his final years.

 

Twenty-five years later the traveler returned to the same desolate spot. What he saw amazed him the land was covered with a beautiful forest two miles wide and five miles long. Birds were singing, animals were playing, and wildflowers perfumed the air, all because someone cared.

 

The Blessed Virgin calls us to action as well, to do our part to spread God's kingdom on earth. We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can change part of it, just as the old man did.

Today St. Paul and Our Lady remind us of that role, asking that we translate it into concrete action. We received our sack of acorns and our iron pipe when we were confirmed. Now it's up to us to do something with them.

 

Application: What needs are there within your parish church and community? How can you actively meet some of those needs with your own gifts and talents, as Our Lady recommends today?

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 26 - SACRED HEART OF JESUS

 

Message of October 25, 2006

"Dear children! Today the Lord permitted me to tell you again that you live in a time of grace. You are not conscious, little children, that God is giving you a great opportunity to convert and to live in peace and love.

You are so blind and attached to earthly things and think of earthly life. God sent me to lead you toward eternal life. I, little children, am not tired, although I see that your hearts are heavy and tired for everything that is a grace and a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call."

"Contemplation of the Eucharist must urge all members of the Church, in the first place the priests, ministers of the Eucharist, to revive their commitment of faith.

The celibacy that the priests received as a precious gift and the sign of the undivided love toward God and the neighbor is founded upon the Eucharistic mystery, celebrated and adored.

Eucharistic spirituality must also be the interior motor of any activity for the lay persons, and no dichotomy is admissible between faith and life in their mission of spreading the spirit of Christianity in the world" (Pope Benedict XVI, Homily for the close of the Eucharistic Year, Oct. 23, 2005).

"The tender love of God for the world infused into my soul a need for adoration, respect and love towards the Blessed Sacrament" (Mother Mary of Jesus, Foundress of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice).

Mother Teresa - Let the love of God once take entire and absolute possession of a heart; let it apply itself continually to increase this love of God by seeking to please Him in all things and refusing Him nothing that He asks; let it have a firm determination never to commit any fault deliberately and knowingly; or if it should fall, to be humble for it and to rise up again at once. Such a heart will pray continually.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - Don't lose heart if it is your lot to work a lot and gather little. If you considered what one soul alone costs Jesus, you would never complain.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - There's no happiness in the realm of the ego

"The modern tendency is toward the affirmation of the ego, the exaltation of selfishness, riding roughshod over others in order to satisfy our own self-centeredness. It certainly has not produced much happiness, for the more the ego asserts itself the more miserable it becomes."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Oh, how painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves to Me in Holy Communion. I wait for souls, and they are indifferent toward Me. I love them tenderly and sincerely, and they distrust Me. I want to lavish My graces on them, and they do not want to accept them.

They treat Me as a dead object, whereas My Heart is full of love and mercy. In order that you may know at least some of My pain, imagine the most tender of mothers who has great love for her children, while those children spurn her love. Consider her pain. No one is in a position to console her. This is but a feeble image and likeness of My love. (1447)

 

After Holy Communion the Lord said to me, If the priest had not brought Me to you, I would have come Myself under the same species. My daughter, your sufferings of this night obtained the grace of mercy for an immense number of souls. (1459)

Today, when the chaplain [Father Theodore] brought the Lord Jesus, a light issued from the Host, its light striking my heart and filling me with a great fire of love. Jesus was letting me know that I should answer the inspirations of grace with more faithfulness, and that my vigilance should be more subtle. (1462)

 

Quote of the Day The thought follows the look; delight comes after the thought; and consent after delight -St. Augustine

Today's Tidbit The early lives of today's saints show us that the devil often uses normal people to do his will through ignorance and the use of black magic. Lucian and Marcian remind us that we should never follow any temptation to call upon the devil or any of his tools for assistance, and that we should trust our lives only to God.

Oct 26 - SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Given to Jelena during an interior locution :

Pray! You can do anything, yes, you can do it through prayer! Place an image of the hearts of Jesus and Mary in your homes (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana November 11, 1983).

 

The Sacred Heart is a symbol of God's unfathomable love. As St. John writes :

 

Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever doesn't love does not know God, for God is love (1 Jn 4 :7-8).

 

Reflection:

 

A Valentine might be considered a pale reflection of the Sacred Heart it symbolizes human love, while the Heart of Jesus represents the infinite, divine love of Christ himself. Devotion to the Sacred Heart, then, is devotion to God's love, which we strive to imitate. This contemporary Sacred Heart Psalm by Fr.

 

Edward Hays expresses this longing :

O Divine Beloved, so often I am casual and halfhearted in my love for you my God.

Come and set my heart ablaze with the fire of your love.

Inflame my hearts and prayers as you did for your chosen son Jesus.

His holy heart was constantly on fire with a consuming love for you, his God.

Envelop me in your gleaming Spirit, that my lukewarm prayers and acts may spring alive with the fire of faith.

Make my heart, like the heart of Christ, burn with compassion for the outcast, with comfort for the lonely and all who are in need.

Application:

Today, spend part of your prayer time reflecting on the love of Christ. When you have an opportunity, place an image of the hearts of Jesus and Mary in your home, as Our Lady asks.

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 25 - DISCOVER ME IN THE POOR

Message of October 25, 2009

"Dear children! Also today I bring you my blessing, I bless you all and I call you to grow on this way, which God has begun through me for your salvation. Pray, fast and joyfully witness your faith, little children, and may your heart always be filled with prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call."

"Here, in the holy Tabernacle, is the wonderful pool of Bethsaida, that is, the 'house of mercy' or 'place of healing,' in which the Divine waters of grace are constantly in motion. Here every person can obtain the health of his soul, and if it be the Will of God, the health of his body" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).

 

Mother Teresa - Our prayers should be burning words coming forth from the furnace of a heart filled with love. Devoutly, with great sweetness, with natural simplicity, without any affectation, offer your praise to God with the whole of your heart and soul.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - Let us keep well in mind what the Divine Master said: in our patience we will possess our souls.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Hints for humility!

"Here is a psychological suggestion for acquiring peace of soul. Never brag; never talk about yourself; never rush to first seats at table or in a theater; never use people for your own advantage; never lord it over others as if you were better than they. These are but popular ways of expressing the virtue of humility, which does consist so much in humbling ourselves before others as it does in recognizing our own littleness in comparison to what we ought to be."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -

November 19. After Communion today, Jesus told me how much He desires to come to human hearts. I desire to unite Myself with human souls; My great delight is to unite Myself with souls. Know, My daughter, that when I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul.

But souls do not even pay any attention to Me; they leave Me to Myself and busy themselves with other things. Oh, how sad I am that souls do not recognize Love! They treat Me as a dead object. I answered Jesus, "O Treasure of my heart, the only object of my love and entire delight of my soul, I want to adore You in my heart as You are adored on the throne of Your eternal glory.

My love wants to make up to You at least in part for the coldness of so great a number of souls. Jesus, behold my heart which is for You a dwelling place to which no one else has entry. You alone repose in it as in a beautiful garden. (1385)

All the good that is in me is due to Holy Communion. I owe everything to it. I feel that this holy fire has transformed me completely. Oh, how happy I am to be a dwelling place for You, O Lord! My heart is a temple in which You dwell continually... (1392)

“Occupy your minds with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones. Unoccupied, they cannot be. -St. Thomas More”

Oct 25 - DISCOVER ME IN THE POOR

Our Lady advises Jelena's prayer group :

Continue to help the poor and the sick, and to pray for the dead. Do not have any fear. Completely free yourselves and abandon your hearts to me so that I can be with you. Listen to me and discover me in the poor and in all people (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 31, 1984).

And in the gospel, Jesus says :

Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you (Mt 5 :42).

Reflection:

The Jewish Talmud says, " He who gives alms is greater than Moses. " But money was not the only kind of alms people gave to the needy. The Talmud also says, "

Whoever gives a small coin to a poor person will receive six blessings, but whoever gives a kind word to a poor person will receive eleven blessings. " Even if we can't always give money , we can give much more : forgiveness to our enemies, kindness to the elderly, example to the young, and love to all.

 

Application: How generous are we in our giving? The following prayer is a Prayer for Generosity :

Father of the poor and needy, teach us to understand that generosity consists not only in providing material help but in every act of helpfulness toward those who stand in need of it, and that every human being stands in need of friendliness, sympathy, and understanding.

Teach us to know that in the measure in which we give we also receive, that every worthy thing we do brings its own reward, and that in seeking any other kind of reward we spoil the grace of what we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Jesus Tells Us How To Follow Him

 

“ …Then I prayed; Speak Lord (if it be His will of course), Your servant listens. Jesus responded to my heart saying: My child Eileen, All that needs to be said has already been said. Now is the time to read My word, spread My word and live by the word. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen. “

 

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

"Glorious St. Joseph, tender-hearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.

Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!
