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!

"Importance of Work"

Dear Friends,

Finally, brothers, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may speed forward and be glorified, as it did among you, and that we may be delivered from perverse and wicked people, for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you, you (both) are doing and will continue to do.

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ. We instruct you, brothers, in the name of (our) Lord Jesus Christ, to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us. For you know how one must imitate us.

For we did not act in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat food received free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery, night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you. Not that we do not have the right. Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us. In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-10

I thank the Lord for the nice day we had again yesterday with plenty of sun and the temperature was again about 10 degrees Celsius.

Last evening I went for one hour of adoration at our church and this morning I will celebrate Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. I will finish my packing today so that I can leave early Thursday morning for Ontario. I will give a retreat there from Monday November 16 to 18. There will be no Healing Mass at Our Lady’s Chapel on the First Friday of December as I will be in the USA until December 14. Please pray for me during these days.

Below is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

I ask you, My brothers and sisters, do not associate with wicked and perverse people. These do not believe in Me and they will try to destroy your faith and your practices. I know you are faithful so continue to do the work that you have always done especially to pray, to go to church and to follow Me.

Be an active member of your Christian Community so that you promote the Christian traditions and follow the path of life and not the path of death. So many today are for death and there will be no salvation for those who promote this. I want you all to be for life and to work hard to promote it.

All Christians are to work hard in order to have food and a home to live in. Work makes every human being mature and gives every human being satisfaction for the work he or she has done.

Father Melvin [Fr. Doucette: 363] Tue, Nov 10, 2009: "Wake up now" Tuesday, November 10, 2009

"Wake up now"

Dear Friends,

Vigilance

Concerning times and seasons, brothers, you have no need for anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night. When people are saying, "Peace and security," then sudden disaster comes upon them, like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

But you, brothers, are not in darkness, for that day to overtake you like a thief. For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness.

Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us stay alert and sober. Those who sleep go to sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet that is hope for salvation. For God did not destine us for wrath, but to gain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with him. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,

“You know the time is coming when I will return to earth to judge the living and the dead. This will be the end of the world. You have to be ready for this great day because at that time everything will be done in strict justice. You need to renew your lives and work hard with My grace to attain holiness.

Through prayer and loving your brothers and sisters you will grow every day towards holiness. Repent of all your sins regularly and fight all temptations with the help of My strength, which I give you if you ask for it.

So wake up now, My brothers and sisters, and do not let the great day catch you like a thief. Every day you should be ready to meet Me with your heart filled with light. If I am present in your heart, then you need not be afraid as you are already in the Kingdom of God, which I inaugurated when I was on earth.

You entered the Kingdom through Baptism and you will remain a member of it if you follow Me. Be an active member of My Church and be faithful to the commandments that the Father has given you. I bless you.

Father Melvin [Fr. Doucette: 362] Mon, Nov 09, 2009: "I want you to grow in holiness every day" Monday, November 09, 2009

"I want you to grow in holiness every day"

Dear Friends,

Holiness in Sexual Conduct

This is the will of God, your holiness: that you refrain from immorality, that each of you know how to acquire a wife for himself in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion as do the Gentiles who do not know God; not to take advantage of or exploit a brother in this matter, for the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you before and solemnly affirmed.

For God did not call us to impurity but to holiness. Therefore, whoever disregards this, disregards not a human being but God, who (also) gives his Holy Spirit to you. On the subject of mutual charity you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another. Indeed, you do this for all the brothers throughout Macedonia.

Nevertheless we urge you, brothers, to progress even more, and to aspire to live a tranquil life, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your (own) hands, as we instructed you, that you may conduct yourselves properly toward outsiders and not depend on anyone. We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-13

We had a beautiful sunny day yesterday with the temperature at least 10 degrees Celsius. We will have a mostly sunny week.

I was at the Church of the Assumption yesterday morning for Holy Mass at 9:00 a.m. There was a good group present. In the evening I went to visit my brother in O’Leary. Today I will go to the Manor to celebrate Holy Mass with the residents.

Below is the message given by Our Lord and Savior to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

Today immorality is everywhere in the world. So many people disregard the commandments of the Father. What the Father has ordained is that sexual acts are only lawful and good within marriage.

Every act outside of marriage is a grave sin. So all those who are living together and not married must do something immediately to regulate their marriage. They are living in the state of sin and offending the Father. I want all of you, My brothers and sisters, to live in holiness and so you must live a moral life. Your union must be blessed by the Father in Church before it is truly a marriage.

You are all called, My friends, to love one another. Love everyone and forgive everyone who has offended you. You must progress in your holiness by loving even more than in the past. You must help the poor, the handicapped and the elderly who need your help. Be always ready to help them in any way possible. I want you to grow in holiness every day.

Father Melvin

"I am Your Friend"

Dear Friends,

Paul’s Desire to Visit the Thessalonians

That is why, when we could bear it no longer, we decided to remain alone in Athens and sent Timothy, our brother and co-worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one be disturbed in these afflictions.

For you yourselves know that we are destined for this. For even when we were among you, we used to warn you in advance that we would undergo affliction, just as has happened, as you know. For this reason, when I too could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had put you to the test and our toil might come to nothing.

But just now Timothy has returned to us from you, bringing us the good news of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us and long to see us as we long to see you. 1 Thessalonians 3:1-6

Below you have the message of Our Lord and Saviour given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

As St. Paul loved to visit My followers in Thessalonica, I too have a great desire for the salvation of every person that lives in the world. I suffered and died for each one of you and I want you all with Me in heaven one day.

I urge you to pray that your faith may be strong so that whatever may happen in the future, whether sickness or persecution, you will all remain loyal to Me. Know that I am always with you to give you the strength you need and the words to say.

It is very important, My friends, to have confidence in Me. I am always there to help you with any problem you may have. Call on Me with all your heart and I will respond to your call. Take My extended hand and walk together with Me. I am Your Friend, Your Savior and Your Redeemer. Accept all the graces I give you every day and place Me first in your life. May we have a close relationship and speak to Me often during the day. I bless you and call you to follow Me every day.

Father Melvin

P.S. There will be no message until I return from Ontario on November 22

[Fr. Doucette: 357] Mon, Nov 2, 2009: Fifth message received in Argentina

Monday, November 2, 2009

Fifth message received in Argentina

Dear Friends,

Jesus spoke to me this morning in prayer with these words:

Melvin, My brother, I love you and I bless you. Today is the day the Church remembers the dead, especially those who are in Purgatory. Many have to spend time there to be purified of the effects of their sins. No one can enter heaven unless one is perfect; so, if a believer dies and that person has not done enough penance to remove the effects of sin, then he or she will spend time in Purgatory for that purpose.

So, today the Church reminds you that you have to pray for the dead, so that they may enter heaven as soon as possible. Your prayers are a great help to all those in Purgatory. You should pray for them not only today but every day of the year. Pray especially for those who do not have anybody to pray for them.

The most important prayer you can offer for those in Purgatory is Holy Mass. Offer the Eucharistic Celebration for them and soon many will leave Purgatory and enter heaven.

All those who are in this place of suffering are filled with hope, as they know that one day they will be in heaven and they will be with the Father, with Me, His Son, and with the Holy Spirit, together with our Blessed Mother and with all the angels and saints. Then their joy will be filled and they will pray for all those who prayed for them.

Pray for your deceased brothers and sisters every day!

Father Melvin

"May your faith be strong"

Dear Friends,

Paul’s Work in Thessalonica

Our friends, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not a failure. You know how we had already been mistreated and insulted in Philippi before we came to you in Thessalonica. And even though there was much opposition, our God gave us courage to tell you the Good News that comes from him. Our appeal to you is not based on error or impure motives; nor do we try to trick anyone. Instead we always speak as God wants us to, because he has judged us worthy to be entrusted with the Good News.

We do not try to please people, but to please God, who tests our motives. You know very well that we did not come to you with flattering talk, not did we use words to cover up greed . God is our witness! We did not try to get praise from anyone, either from you or from others, even though as Apostles of Christ we could have made demands on you.

But we were gentle when we were with you, like a mother taking care of her children. Because of our love for you we were ready to share with you not only the Good News from God but even our own lives. You were so dear to us! 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8

Below you will find the message of the Lord, our God, given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

I bless you, My brothers and sisters, and I want you all to open your heart to the Good News I brought you. St. Paul was a great Apostle and missionary who visited many towns and villages to teach them the Good News.

He was not afraid to suffer at the hands of the people who refused to accept him and chased him away. Yet he always found people that were ready to accept him and learn from him.

You, too, My brothers and sisters, should not be afraid to meet people and talk to them about the Good News I brought to you. I came to save every person in the world if they come to believe in Me. It is necessary that they be taught the teachings I brought to you and come to know Me so that they may accept Me and believe in Me.

In Thessalonica many people accepted the teachings of Saint Paul and believed in Me, their Savior. Their lives were changed as they were filled with the Holy Spirit who brought them to follow the way of holiness and leave behind the way of sin.

As the Apostles taught in a gentle way the peoples and brought them into My Church, so you too are to teach and call the people to enter My Church and to be fervent believers. May your faith be strong and your love constant to work hard for the Kingdom of God.

"Be men and women of prayer"

Dear Friends,

Teachings on how to live as Christians

Be persistent in prayer; and keep alert as you pray, giving thanks to God. At the same time pray also for us, so that God will give us a good opportunity to preach his message about the secret of Christ.

For that is why I am now in prison. Pray, then, that I may speak, as I should, in such a way as to make it clear. Be wise in the way you act toward those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have. Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting; and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone. Colossians 4:2-6

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

Although St. Paul spent a long time as a prisoner in chains, he could go around with a guard and speak to the people. He was always tied with chains. He spoke much about prayer and about the importance of prayer in the life of a Christian.

All are called to be persistent in prayer and to be alert. In order to have a very good prayer, it is necessary to pray with all your heart. You have to put your faith to work as well as your love and hope when you pray. I am never far away from you and I am always ready to listen to your prayer. Pray for your needs and pray for the people who have asked you for prayers. Remember to pray for the sick, the members of your family, those who do not believe or have little faith.

Pray also for the intentions of the leaders of the Church and also for the priests. Pray that the killing of the unborn and the killings by euthanasia of the mentally challenged, the terminally ill and the elderly may stop throughout the world. These are abominations and they offend God in a most terrible way. Be men and women of prayer and you will be very close to Me at all times.

"Reach out for true life"

Dear Friends,

The Lord is My Shepherd

The Lord is my Shepherd; I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in fields of green grass
and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.
He gives me new strength.
He guides in the right path, as he has promised.
Even if I go through the deepest darkness,
I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me.
Your shepherd’s rod and staff protect me.
You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me,
you welcome me as an honored guest and fill my cup to the brim.
I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life;
and your house will be my home as long as I live.
Psalm 23

Below is a message from Our Blessed Mother given to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,

My children, you have the greatest friend you can have in Jesus, My Son. He is the Good Shepherd who cares for you and He is always ready to help you. He has given His life for you on the cross to redeem you and to open heaven for you. Are you ready to be His close friend?

I am your Mother who never stops praying for you so that you open your heart to your Saviour and Lord and live in close union with Him. Why are there so many among you who are not praying? Why have you stopped going to Church? Why are so many living together and you are not married?

My dear children, it is time for you to wake up and bring Jesus, My Son, into your life. Do not let yourself be carried away by the lures of the world, which are put there by the evil one.

Say no to the evil one and accept your greatest Friend back into your life. It is time, My children, to amend your lives and to walk with Jesus. I call you all to come out of the darkness that surrounds you and to enter into the light of Your Savior. Reach out for true life and leave death behind. I love you.

Fourth Message in Argentina

Dear Friends,

Jesus spoke to me this morning in prayer with these words:

I bless you and all my friends who will be with you today at the Monastery. It is a rainy morning and every drop of rain is a reminder of My great love for all of you. Today there is a great feast in Heaven for it is the Feast of All Saints. Come and join Us through your singing and praise on earth. Many holy men and women are with Us in Heaven after living a holy life on earth.

It is through their faith and great love while they were on earth that they followed Me and now they are in eternal happiness in Heaven. Imitate them by working hard in union with Me, your Saviour, and you too will be crowned in heaven.

I gave My life on the cross for you that you might be saved. Yes, I want the salvation of every person living on earth from now until the end of time. Cooperate with Me every day and, when the time comes, I will take you with Me to heaven.

Repent of your sins, each one of you, and I will pardon you and fill you with My graces. United with Me you cannot fail but if you live apart from Me you will surely fail. Be humble and take My hand and I will lead you along the true way that will bring you to your heavenly home. I love you.

Thursday Adoration, November 05, 2009

The Sacrament Of Marriage

Today I spent time again alone with Jesus in adoration. After making small offerings as gifts to Jesus and Mary, I prayed for all with special needs and intentions. On my knees I prayed to Jesus asking Him to please come and be with me. I offer Jesus my will and ask Him to take my will and replace it with His will.

Then before I could ask Jesus to speak to me (it it be His will), He began to say to me these words; My child Eileen, I AM your spouse as you are Mine. And I AM spouse to all who commit to Me.

Marriage requires trust, faithfulness, loyalty, kindness and patience. I love you as I love all My children. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Then I asked him what he liked least about our country and Fr. Replied how marriage and family is not held sacred as it ought to be.

THE THUNDER OF GOD'S JUSTICE WAS HEARD THROUGH HIS PROPHETS. NOW THE LIGHTNING OF GOD'S JUSTICE WILL STRIKE. Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 11 - OPEN YOURSELVES MORE TO GOD

"Acts of private devotion [adoration] are quite necessary if we are to receive in abundance the supernatural treasures in which the Eucharist is so rich, and to pour them out upon others, according to our powers, in order that Christ our Lord may reach the fullness of His power in the souls of all" (Pope Pius XII, Mediator Dei). "Come unto Me, you who are mourning, who weep the loss of a son, a mother, a spouse, a brother . . . . Come, without delay, to My Tabernacle, all you whose dwelling has been marked by the cross of death and tears . . . "Come lift up your hearts, for time is only a passing shadow, and heaven is eternal; arise, then, with courage and take the living Bread,

My Eucharist, to fortify you in the struggle; come and I will reward you in the Paradise of My Heart which loves you!" (From the reflection 'Come Away With Me and Rest Awhile,' in the book Praying in the Presence of Our Lord for the Holy Souls).

Mother Teresa - It is a wonderful thing that God Himself loves us tenderly. Knowing this should give us courage and joy for living.

Meditations by Padre Pio - I see that all the seasons of the year can be found in your souls. Sometimes you feel the winter of much sterility, distractions, restlessness and boredom; sometimes the dews of the month of May with the perfume of holy little flowers [penance]; sometimes the heat of the desire to please our divine Spouse.

Nothing remains but the autumn in which you don't see much fruit, but it often happens that when the grain is threshed and the grapes crushed, there is a bigger harvest than the harvesting promised.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - A friend is a needed commodity in life!

"Every man rejoices twice when he has a partner in his joy. He who shares tears with us wipes them away. He divides them in two, and he who laughs with us makes the joy double. Two torches do not divide, but increase the flame. Tears are more quickly dried up when they run on a friend's cheek in furrows of compassion."

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

Nocturnal Adoration. I was suffering very much, and it seemed to me I would not be able to make my adoration, but I gathered up all my will power and, although I collapsed in my cell, I paid no attention to what ailed me, for I had the Passion of Jesus before my eyes.

When I entered the chapel, I received an inner understanding of the great reward that God is preparing for us, not only for our good deeds, but also for our sincere desire to perform them. What a great grace of God this is!

Oh, how sweet it is to toil for God and souls! I want no respite in this battle, but I shall fight to the last breath for the glory of my King and Lord. I shall not lay the sword aside until He calls me before His throne; I fear no blows, because God is my shield. It is the enemy who should fear us, and not we him.

Satan defeats only the proud and the cowardly, because the humble are strong. Nothing will confuse or frighten a humble soul. I have directed my flight at the very center of the sun's heat, and nothing can lower its course. Love will not allow itself to be taken prisoner; it is free like a queen. Love attains God. (450)

O Jesus, my heart stops beating when I think of all You are doing for me! I am amazed at You, Lord, that You would stoop so low to my wretched soul! What inconceivable means You take to convince me! (460)

 

Quote of the Day Christ, the Master of humility, manifests His Truth only to the humble and hides Himself from the proud. -St. Vincent Ferrer

Today's Tidbit The Fourth Lateran Council was held between November 11, 1215 and November 30, 1215. In the area of sacramental theology, this council ordered the annual reception of the Sacraments of Eucharist and penance by all Catholics, and defined and made the first use of the term Transubstantiation to describe the miracle of the change of bread and wine into Jesus' body and blood at the Eucharist.

This council also adopted several measures to battle the Albigensian and Cathari heresies, and approve seventy canons to be added to Church Law.

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Nov 11 - OPEN YOURSELVES MORE TO GOD

Today Our Lady invites us to a special openness:

Dear children, today I call you to open yourselves more to God so that he can work through you. The more you open yourselves, the more abundantly you will receive of his fruits. I also wish to call you again to prayer (Weekly Message March 6, 1986).

And in Luke's gospel, an invitation from Christ:

Then Jesus said to him, " Someone gave a great dinner and invited many. At the time for the dinner he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, `Come; for everything is ready now' " (Lk 14:16-17).

Reflection:

We are those whom Jesus has invited to come to his banquet. The feast he beckons us to is the Kingdom, and all is ready: the table is set and the food is prepared. " Come to the table, dine! " we are urged. To wait or hold back is needless.

The call of Christ is to come to a festive and joyous feast, and Our Lady echoes that call in her message to open ourselves. But what is it that keeps us from such a celebration? Perhaps somewhere we didn't hear or receive the invitation. Perhaps we did not really believe that the Kingdom would be joyous.

Whatever the reason, we have a new invitation now. Medjugorje has helped us to feel our hunger and thirst. Surely we now know we need to be fed, and most surely we could use some joy and celebration.

God is patient and tireless in summoning us, and his call is forever in the present. The feast never grows cold; he is never unprepared. If we hold back out of fear, guilt, or indifference, we can miss out entirely. But we need not keep missing out. All we need to do is stop excusing ourselves and enter the banquet hall.

Application:

A prayer for today:

Gracious Lord, rouse me to accept your invitation. Remove my laziness, dissolve my excuses, calm my fear. With a new openness to you and Our Lady, I shall take my place at your table. Amen

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 10 - ST. LEO THE GREAT

How can you be my friend,

if you kill the child for whom I died to save?

"Jesus, King of our altars and Sovereign of souls, come and establish Your royal authority in our hearts. Be the guest not for a day, but remain as our Father and our Brother. Do not come as a pilgrim, but a consoling Redeemer and ever-blessed Lord. Come! If sin is unceasing, the homage of our humble reparation will be even more constant" (Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey).

Mother Teresa - Lord Jesus, We want to imitate you, who told us:

" I am meek and humble of heart. " We ask you that, day by day, you lead us in this path. We wish to bring you, dear Christ, to others.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Make Christian use of your money and savings and then so much misery will disappear and so many suffering bodies and afflicted beings will find relief and comfort.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Some reject greatness to remain in their own comfort zone

"Those who are pampered during youth thus retain a delusion of grandeur during life and are very subject to physical and mental breakdowns. The breakdown is psychologically induced, though they are very unconscious of it. The breakdown is for the preservation of fantasy. Some will develop muscular pains and sickness in order to avoid the test of their greatness.

Then they can say, `If it were not for being bedridden, I would have written the best novel of the day.' The bubble of his fantasy would be pricked, if he had to abandon the pretense of being so great. So he stays sick to prevent the test."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - A certain moment, May 12, 1935. In the evening, I just about got into bed, and I fell asleep immediately. Though I fell asleep quickly, I was awakened even more quickly. A little child came and woke me up.

The child seemed about a year old, and I was surprised it could speak so well, as children of that age either do not speak or speak very indistinctly. The child was beautiful beyond words and resembled the Child Jesus, and he said to me, Look at the sky. And when I looked at the sky I saw the stars and the moon shining. Then the child asked me,

Do you see this moon and these stars?

When I said yes, he spoke these words to me, These stars are the souls of faithful Christians, and the moon is the souls of religious. Do you see how great the difference is between the light of the moon and the light of the stars? Such is the difference in heaven between the soul of a religious and the soul of a faithful Christian. And he went on to say that, True greatness is in loving God and in humility. (424)

A moment later, I again saw the child who had awakened me. It was of wondrous beauty and repeated these words to me, True greatness of the soul is in loving God and in humility. I asked the child, "How do you know that true greatness of the soul is in loving God and in humility? Only theologians know about such things and you haven't even learned the catechism. So how do you know?" To this he answered, I know; I know all things. And with that, He disappeared. (427)

Quote of the Day Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife. -Pope St. Leo the Great

Today's Tidbit The automatic excommunication of divorced Catholics was not a decree that was announced by the Vatican. This decree was first imposed by the Plenary Council of American Bishops in 1884 and applied only to the diocese of America.

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.

Nov 10 - ST. LEO THE GREAT Concerning the Pope, Our Lady once said:

Have him consider himself the father of all mankind and not only of Christians. Have him spread untiringly and with courage the message of peace and love to all mankind (First Year September 26, 1982).

Pope or bishop, lay or religious we are all part of one Church and one Lord, all sharing in the manifold graces of God for the good of one another. As Paul writes:

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God appointed in the Church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues (1 Cor 12:27-28).

Reflection:

Taking up this theme of many members per one body, St. Leo wrote:

Although the universal Church of God is constituted of distinct orders of members, still, in spite of the many parts of its holy body, the Church subsists as an integral whole, just as the Apostle says: " We are all one in Christ, " nor is anyone separated from the office of another in such a way that a lower group has no connection with the head. In the unity of faith and baptism, our community is then undivided.

Leo the Great was elected Pope in the year 440 and guided the Church through a very difficult period of its history. We know little of his personal life, but through his writing and preaching he made many lasting contributions. The introductory note in the Liturgy of the Hours states: "

He was a true pastor and father of souls. He labored strenuously to safeguard the integrity of the faith and vigorously defended the unity of the Church. He pushed back or at least softened the onrush of the barbarians. He has deservedly won the title `the Great.' "

Application:

Our Lady often asks for prayers for the Pope and all the leaders of the church.

Make this, then, one of your daily prayer intentions.

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 08 - DO NOT JUDGE YOURSELVE

"This practice [of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament], repeatedly praised and recommended by the Magisterium, is supported by the example of many saints. Particularly outstanding in this regard was Saint Alphonsus Liguori, who wrote: `Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us'.

The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it but also by praying before it outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very wellspring of grace.

A Christian community desirous of contemplating the face of Christ . . . cannot fail also to develop this aspect of Eucharistic worship, which prolongs and increases the fruits of our communion in the body and blood of the Lord." "Like the woman who anointed Jesus in Bethany, the Church has feared no `extravagance', devoting the best of her resources to expressing her wonder and adoration before the unsurpassable gift of the Eucharist" (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, Pope John Paul II, 25 and 48).

Mother Teresa - I believe we must look for holiness, joy, and love in our own homes. We must make our home like a second "Nazareth" where Jesus can come and live with us.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Be like little spiritual bees, bringing nothing into their hives but honey and wax. May your homes be full of sweetness, peace, agreement, humility and piety as regards conversation.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We can't educate our kids soon enough!

"An educator was once asked by a mother of a child of five years of age, at what age she should begin educating her child. His answer was that `it is already five years too late.' This may be an exaggeration, but the best informed opinions are that the two ages which are most important in the education of the young are the ages between three and four for psychological development, and the beginning of the `teens' for ethical development."

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

On the eve of the retreat, I started to pray that the Lord Jesus might give me just a little health so that I could take part in the retreat, because I was feeling so ill that I thought perhaps it might be my last. However, as soon as I had started praying I felt a strange dissatisfaction. I interrupted the prayer of supplication and began to thank the Lord for everything He sends me, submitting myself completely to His holy will. Then I felt profound peace of soul.

Faithful submission to the will of God, always and everywhere, in all events and circumstances of life, gives great glory to God. Such submission to the will of God carries more weight with Him than long fasts, mortifications and the most severe penances. Oh, how great is the reward for one act of loving submission to the will of God! As I write, my soul is enraptured at the thought of how much God loves it and of the peace that my soul already enjoys, here on earth. (724)

Quote of the Day Nothing can be more dangerous than evil companions. They communicate the infection of their vices to all who associate with them. -St. John Baptist de la Salle

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.

Nov 8 - DO NOT JUDGE YOURSELVES

Speaking to the prayer group that Ivan and Marija had formed, the Virgin said:

You will be happy if you do not judge yourselves according to your faults, but understand that graces are offered to you even in your faults (Visionary Prayer Group May 12, 1986).

And of judging, Christ said in the gospel of Luke:

Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven (Lk 6:37).

Reflection:

Christ and Our Lady wish us to be truly free, but this is contingent upon our forgiveness of both ourselves and others, as our readings illustrate today.

This freedom means release from the prisons for our own minds and hearts the capacity to receive the gift of peace. But we cannot receive this grace while bitterness and resentment towards other tears at our souls, doing more damage than any past transgressor could.

And so the Blessed Mother calls us to release the bitter past, to let go of these old resentments, and to allow God to dispense justice in his own way and in his own time. She urges us to be cleansed and healed from the pain of the past so that it cannot poison the present and the future.

She calls us to allow old injustices to be purged on the funeral pyre of Christ's redeeming love. This love is Christ's own presence, the gift of himself. It comes through surrender to the Lord of Peace who makes all things new.

Application:

In prayer today, surrender the pain of the past to Christ and Our Lady, asking that they heal the wounds of bitterness and hurt.

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 09 - WITHSTAND THE DAYS OF TEMPTATION

"If we wish to adore the Real Face of Jesus . . . we can find it in the divine Eucharist where, with the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the face of our Lord is hidden under the white veil of the Host" (St. Gaetano Catanoso, Founder of the Veronican Sisters of the Holy Face, canonized on Oct. 23, 2005, by Pope Benedict XVI).

"O my Holy Jesus, give me an upright and just heart, that I may love Thee, the King of Jerusalem, and wait for Thy coming, and feed upon the Bread of God. Jesus, teach me the hidden secrets of Thy love" (Fr. Frederick A. Reuter, K.C.B.S.).

Mother Teresa - Service means an unceasing and wholehearted labor in making ourselves available to Jesus so that He may live, in and through us, His life of infinitely tender, compassionate and merciful love, for the spiritually and materially poorest of the poor.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Make Christian use of your money and savings and then so much misery will disappear and so many suffering bodies and afflicted beings will find relief and comfort.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Early fallacies can confuse later realities

"Many parents today are encouraging their children to believe that they are the `smartest kids in schools'; that nothing they do is wrong; that if they had the opportunity to be on television like some of those other `lucky kids,' they would be a thousand times better.

The result is that when they grow up they are full of false fantasies about their presumed superiority. If they do not succeed in business, later on, it is because someone was `prejudiced' or `jealous' of them;

if they become painters and anyone criticizes their work, they go into a rage; their best friends are those who tolerate them, while they have nothing but disdain for those who do not flatter and praise them. Their fantasy is taken for reality; the false for the true."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Once, when I saw Jesus in the form of a small child, I asked, "Jesus, why do you now take on the form of a child when You commune with me? In spite of this, I still see in You the infinite God, my Lord and Creator." Jesus replied that until I learned simplicity and humility, He would commune with me as a little child.(335)

Concerning Holy Confession. We should derive two kinds of profit from Holy Confession: 1. We come to confession to be healed; 2. We come to be educated-like a small child, our soul has constant need of education.

O my Jesus, I understand these words to their very depths, and I know from my own experience that, on its own strength, the soul will not go far; it will exert itself greatly and will do nothing for the glory of God; it will err continually, because our mind is darkened and does not know how to discern its own affairs. I shall pay special attention to two things:

Firstly, I will choose, in making my confession, that which humiliates me most, even if it be a trifle, but something that costs me much, and for that reason I will tell it; secondly, I will practice contrition, not only during confession, but during every self-examination, and I will arouse within myself an act of perfect contrition, especially when I am going to bed.

One more word: a soul which sincerely wants to advance in perfection must observe strictly the advice given by the spiritual director. There is as much holiness as there is dependence.(377)

NOV 9 - WITHSTAND THE DAYS OF TEMPTATION

In a weekly message from 1985, the Mother of God said:

Dear children, these days Satan is working underhandedly against the parish. You, dear children, have fallen asleep in prayer and only some of you are going to Mass. Withstand the days of temptation! (Weekly Message, 1985).

And from John's gospel:

When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, « Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her. » And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

Jesus straightened up and said to her, « Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? » She said, « No one, sir. » And Jesus said, « Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again » (Jn 8:7-11).

Reflection:

As we see from this passage from St. John, no stone was thrown at the woman who had committed the sin of adultery. Under the ancient law of Moses, she deserved the punishment, but Christ brought a new law into the world, a law measured by mercy, not justice. If we receive what we deserve, and if justice is served, no one is safe. We would all be lost.

There is a story about a saintly person who had lived a life of prayer and good deeds had been active in church and community affairs, and was an outstanding citizen. When he died and appeared before St. Peter, the entrance requirements were laid out: « You need two thousand points to get in. » After relating all the achievements of his entire life, the applicant was told, « Fine, that's worth three points! » « In that case, » said the man, « only the grace of God will get me in! » « That's right, » answered Saint Peter, «that's worth 1,997 points. Come on in! »

Application: A prayer for today:

O, Christ, my savior help me to seek and serve mercy before justice, to forgive before I condemn. Let me be an instrument of your love in myself and for others, and live more by grace than by law. Amen.

Second Message in Argentina

Dear Friends,

Jesus spoke to me this morning in prayer with these words:

Melvin, My brother, I love you. You are now in Cordoba, one of the oldest cities in South America. Here My Church has been present for centuries. Here too, My followers have to be awakened to take their rightful place in the world. They are not to be afraid to stand for the truth that is brought to you.

I ask you to put Me first in every country of the world. Let every decision and law be in conformity with the teachings I left you and I gave My Church. No followers of Mine would accept abortion or euthanasia or embryo stem research. All this goes against the Commandments of God, especially the one that says: Thou shall not kill. My followers will accept that marriage is between a man and a woman. Homosexual unions are not to be accepted and My Church will never bless such unions. Those that have homosexual tendencies are to live a celibate life and they will be saved if they follow Me every day.

Do not be conformed to the thoughts of the world which in many cases is opposed to me. Those people prefer to live in sin rather than to live in union with Me. Only My way will lead you to heaven and I call you all to follow that way. I love you and I bless you. Father Melvin

Third Message in Argentina

Dear Friends,

Our Lady spoke to me this morning in prayer with these words:

I bless you, Joseph Melvin, My son, on this Saturday, the day the Church especially honors Me. This weekend you are at the Monastery to give a retreat. I am present there with Jesus, with you and with all those attending the weekend retreat.

I call you all, My sons and daughters, to be very attentive to the teachings you will receive on Contemplative Prayer. This is a great method of prayer and many saints, including Saint Theresa of Avila, prayed in this way. This prayer brings you close to Jesus, My Son, and if you pray like this every day, you will form a great and intimate friendship with Him. Once this friendship is established He will lead you along the true path every day of your life on earth.

There is great darkness spreading throughout the world today because of sin and unbelief. However, groups like those present at the Monastery these days are pockets of light that can spread to other towns and villages. All prayer groups are lights that chase away the darkness.

Contemplate daily and meet together regularly to pray. Invite others to pray with you and their faith will be strengthened. Prayer is the answer for the ills of the world. Pray that non-believers may believe and sinners be converted. I bless you.

Message received in Argentina (1)

Dear Friends,

Jesus spoke to me this morning in prayer with these words:

Melvin, My brother, I called you to Argentina to do some work for Me. You have come to a country where I have many dear friends and I bless them all.

However, here in Argentina, it is not all well. There is a group that are opposed to Me, opposed to My friends and opposed to My Church. They would like to wipe out My Church. They are also part of the government.

I want the members of My Church to wake up and stand in large numbers for Me. I want them to declare to all that I am their King and the Head of the country. They should declare their loyalty to Me and accept to follow all the commandments of God and to live a good moral life.

Abortions must be outlawed in My country and in all countries of the world. It is an abomination to your Lord and King. All are to know and accept that human life begins at conception and all are to respect this life until natural death. Euthanasia is also an abomination and it offends the Father, the Creator of life.

Come under My reign and live in peace. I want every country in the world to begin this New Reign of Mine. I call you all to live as My people in the world.

Father Melvin

"Our Father Who are in Heaven in the heaven of the Eucharist . . . may we in all humility and zeal make You known, loved and adored by all men in the Holy Eucharist . . . Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Eucharistic Kingdom. Rule Thou alone forever over us for Your greater glory through the power of your love" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

Mother Teresa - Jesus offers His lifelong, faithful, and personal friendship, embracing us in tenderness and love.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Be totally resigned in the hands of our Lord, giving Him your remaining years, and begging Him always, to fill them with preparations for a life which is pleasing to Him. Don't worry about useless promises of tranquility, enjoyment or merits, but present your hearts to your divine Spouse, totally emptying it of all other affections, except His chaste love. And beseech Him to fill it purely and simply with actions, desires and a will which pertains to His love, so that your hearts, like mother of pearl, do not conceive anything, except with the dew of Heaven and not with the water of the world.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Fleeting self-praise is governed by fantasy

"Our real good is that which we work most earnestly to preserve, and which saddens us most when we lose it. Hence the frequency with which we praise ourselves because of the money we made, or the oil wells we dug. As the sunflower turns toward the sun, the magnetic needle to the polestar, so the egotist turns to his fantasy. Such persons are really still infants, for the characteristic note of an infant is that it wants everything it sees and it cries when it does not get it."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - When a reluctance and a monotony as regards my duties begins to take possession of me, I remind myself that I am in the house of the Lord, where nothing is small and where the glory of the Church and the progress of many a soul depend on this small deed of mine, accomplished in a divinized way. Therefore there is nothing small in a religious congregation. (508)

When my intentions are not recognized, but rather condemned, I am not too much surprised, for I know that it is only God who scrutinizes my heart. Truth will not die; the wounded heart will regain peace in due time, and my spirit is strengthened through adversities. I do not always listen to what my heart tells me, but I keep asking God for light; and when I feel I have regained my equilibrium, then I say more. (511)

The day of the renewal of vows. The presence of God flooded my soul. During Holy Mass I saw Jesus, and He said to me, You are my great joy; your love and your humility make Me leave the heavenly throne and unite Myself with you. Love fills up the abyss that exists between My greatness and your nothingness. (512

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.

Nov 13 - ST. FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI

The Blessed Virgin speaks of humility today:

Your humility must be proud. Your pride should be humble. If you have received a gift from God, you must be proud, but do not say that is yours. Say, rather, that it is God's.

Our example of humility is Christ himself; as St. Paul writes:

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself (Phil 2:5-7).

Reflection:

The American saint, Frances Xavier Cabrini, was originally from Italy; she founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart in 1880, and in the United States established schools, hospitals, and orphanages for the care especially of immigrants and children. She died in 1917 and was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1946.

Her life and writings exemplified the humility of which Our Lady and St. Paul speak of in today's readings.

Application:

The following Prayer for Humility, written by St. Frances Cabrini, would be appropriate to offer today:

Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you may fortify me with the grace of your Holy Spirit, and give your peace to my soul, that I may be free from all needless anxiety and worry. Help me to desire always that which is pleasing and acceptable to you, so that your will may be my will.

Grant that I may be free of unholy desires and that, for your love, I may remain obscure and unknown in this world, to be known only to you.

Do not permit me to attribute to myself the good that you perform in me and through me, but rather, referring all honor to you, may I admit only to my infirmities, so that renouncing sincerely all vainglory which comes from the world, I may aspire to that true and lasting glory which comes from you. Amen.

Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez Nov.4,2009

November 4, 2009 St. Bruno’s Church, San Bruno, CA

Dear little children, Praised be Jesus!

I come this night to leave you Jesus, by means of the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is the most sublime gift which God has left you in which is the very presence of His own Son among you. The Lord reveals His infinite love in that Bread of Love.

The Eucharist is the Love of God and it is Jesus Himself who makes his infinite love known to the entire world. The Eucharist is Paradise itself for Jesus is Paradise itself. Heaven comes to you. Heaven comes to earth. Jesus desires that you experience heaven in your lives and in your hearts. Jesus is the Eucharist. You see Him but it is as if you did not see Him, you eat His body but it is as if you did not eat Him, you feel Him but it is as if you did not feel Him, because you are still blind and without understanding.

Little children, if you only understood that the Most Holy Trinity becomes present among men by means of that little piece of bread, the bread of life and of infinite love. Every time you receive that Bread of Life, your hearts are transformed for your souls know that at that moment all of heaven has entered into it and you experience eternal life. Jesus is the way to eternal life.

Do you understand now, children of mine, why you must receive the Eucharistic Jesus in the state of grace? Little children, to receive God Himself in your heart you must be clean of body and soul. Those who receive Him with the stain of sin, sin gravely, for no one who lives in sin can see the light. No one who lives in sin is clean. No one who lives in sin is a friend of God. No one can experience heaven with the stain of sin, but only those who love Him and live in the state of grace.

My little ones, prepare yourselves well to receive Jesus every time you participate in the heavenly banquet. Return to confession and receive from Jesus Himself His infinite mercy.

Thank you for having accepted my message of this night. I fill you with many graces and I thank my beloved priests and deacon who helped me this night.

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

White Cross Messages

According to a decree of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, approved by HH PaulVI (14th Oct 1966) articles 1399 and 2318 of canon law were abrogated. Thus no imprimatur is required for publishing Divine Revelations, Prophecies or Miracles.

Message of our Lord and our Mother given at The White Cross on 15th May 2008, Seville, Spain, to Rosario Arenillas. This Message took place in The Sanctuary of The Immaculate Heart.

Our Lord:"........even My Voice trembles, My brothers, when it is apparent to all, even My Voice trembles when I have this evidence of so much LOVE within each one of you without distinction, and to love you with this LOVE that is a fire that consumes My Heart, telling you:

Do all for the good of a great recompense for My Mother, be just and do not stretch the laws, but rather consider the path of My Mother and feel assured of what you are doing, because My Mother came to Earth by mandate of MY FATHER to tell all men: I wish you to have one voice, and this voice will be the echo of the soul to call My Mother as She deserves.

My Mother is Mother IMMACULATE, the Mother of all men, She Who weeps, She Who kneels before My FATHER imploring Him that the injustices of men may no longer consume the Earth, that men will become more conscious of all he does during his passage [through life], that he should act with a clear conscience, without sullying the affection of My Mother, because the Way of My Mother will be the Bridge by which all have to pass to come to Me.

Do not treat My Mother with pathetic words, treat My Mother as the Road to your LIGHT, where all is illuminated by Her, She will not let you fall, for She cares even for the air which you breathe, She sees no defect in your face, She only calls you to have a conscience and faith, because where there is conscience there is also confidence, and the Words of My Mother do not confuse men, Her Words enrich you and tell you:What a wondrous gift My Son has brought to the Earth, a gift that cannot be measured by men,[though] each measure it, each one by his own lights, without understanding that they trample upon the laws of My FATHER, each taking justice into his own hands, and each one heaping more [injustices himself], without realising that there is a reason for it, a reason of great importance, because I Who Am LOVE cannot hurt any brother.

Perhaps the Divine Justice of My FATHER may need to touch some of you and say: Why have you not tended to the wounds of your brother and cured him? Why have you pressed against his deepest wound and injured him without flinching? Why have you asked so many times, repeating the same words, putting My Name in jeopardy and the Name of My Mother together with Mine?

You are not a game for Me, neither do I care to be a game for you, this game that men play committing so many injustices, twisting words for his own ends, you are in error, do you not understand that you will reap all that you sow? Because you are part of the natural world and all that you sow in this world..... You are the world which My FATHER wished to save from the beginning of time and He yearns to tell you:

Do not sow that which cannot sustain you, because hatred and anger do not serve for sustenance, look only for the good seed and care for and nurture it, and the giving of the good seed will awaken you and you will understand that you are responsible for all that which My Mother and I have pleaded with you for. But you continue to sow bitterness in the Earth until one day you will miss the taste of the good seed and you will be unable to find it and neither My Mother nor I will be there to stretch out a hand to you.

For this I ask, as Representative and Saviour of the Earth, imploring men with this infinite LOVE that the FATHER gave [Me] as a gift for mankind, asking each of you: If you wake, take consciousness of that to which you have awoken, but if you have awoken to make yourselves greater than others, I would say to this misguided world: The world is not the world that My FATHER desires, it is not a just world, it is a world that wickedly squanders wealth to inflict harm and injury on so many brothers.

Man lays such great value on his wealth that he inflicts devastation day and night, it is a dangerous, voracious greed, engraved on their heads because they have allowed themselves to be led by the voice of the beast and the voice of the beast has seduced you with so many things that are not necessary [for life], he has only engraved status and extravagance and this profligacy has contaminated your hands and your hands have been filled with material wealth to destroy everything. For this I wish you to look at your hands and as My FATHER implored you from the beginning, those hands which you should think of as the TEN COMMANDMENTS, do not use them to inflict hurt and injury, rather that you should look and say: If these ten commandments have been given to me, I need to wake up to them and ask myself: now that I go to pray, I go to ask that I be not blind, but see, I shall ask of that which I do not see but that my soul may listen to Him Who calls me and touches me, Who is presenting me with something so wondrous.

(Various Messages were given to devotees at the Sacred Place and then continued.....)

For this, I implore each one of you that you be noble and simple, that you would know how to understand the significance of My WORDS, for I did not come to Earth to make a show among you, I came to Earth to tell mankind, enough! It is enough injustice, enough errors! Who is the man who can take the stick in his hand and strike his brother and then later come with tears in his eyes and ask pardon? For why would he ask pardon, when only just before he has injured his brother and then abandoned him? This is the wickedness that is taking place at this time on Earth, these men who say "Lord! Lord!"--Why should they think My FATHER will hear them?

My FATHER will listen to those whom I send to Him from among that which I can accept from men. But men of this present age seem not to understand that he is committing so many sacrileges, so many, so many, so many, that when he arrives at the last part of his journey, because he is on a continuous journey, if he has no road the way hastens to the trampoline[over the edge] where all will fall, where one day you will look down and see so many brothers who have lost the strength of their soul, they behave as one who has no sense, like one who uses a sword and they are drunk in their own blood and the blood of their brothers, because not only do they drink the blood of that which compels them, but they have not asked their conscience if it is better to have that which one receives or that which one has taken, men without scruples, for this My children, be aware all of you of all that will happen.

I came not to tell you that your glory is on Earth, on Earth there is no glory,My childen, it is the way men have arranged it, they have made your passage on Earth become the hardest route, the most difficult for men to pass through in order to obtain some measure of what My FATHER wanted you to have from the beginning of time. For this My children, you must be humble and simple, very humble and simple.

In this manner I turn to this handful of men who tremble, as the trees on the mountains, where they are chastised by those who shake them, defile them. Do not let yourselves be defiled, shake off the dirt that is falling on this Sacred Place where there are so few to clean it for the security and the witness you constantly must give, knowing when to keep quiet and sow walking the road very slowly always asking: If my tools that have been given to me are not the same as those of my brother, some will have value and something will be shown to me, so I shall continue on my way and I shall be conscious of that which I plough.

Because I know that one day, you will be in the presence of everyone, and who will have an answer? To whom will I need to say: you did not use your tools properly, you dug too deep and wasted your time, there are times when you have to reap and collect the seed, because it is the season to reap and a time to lay up the harvest, but you squander the harvest, there will come a time when you will wish you had kept the seed, held on to it, and you will desire to have kept it, then you will see and understand the value and the lack will weigh heavy upon you because neither My Mother nor I shall be there, because you have abandoned that which My FATHER chose with such LOVE which He put before men and said: Between so few men, perhaps fewer than be counted on the fingers of one hand, will be your saviours, they are the ones who watch and wait until the Leader of the Tajo (Prophesied Saviour) comes to the Places where My Mother and I are, sent by My FATHER, having wished to speak with mankind and mankind has been unable to understand Me, if only you knew what is signified by the Leader of the Tajo, you would dread each day so much that you would not even get your head off your pillow for want of thinking : what is going to happen?.

But perhaps mankind is wasting time, just as birds do, when the harvest is gathered into the barns and the barns are closed up, for if you lose the key there will be no seed for you, at present the barns are open and you have the key, because the key are the Words of My Mother and Mine, which you can make use of at the present time, to give witness, even though it is insignificant, even though others may not understand, but at this time where you are preaching, even though you may not be understood, at least you are sowing and all that you sow may be reborn, and I tell you, all mankind:

My Words give new birth and My Words feed men, but man is committing such grave errors and injustices that they do not see how far their manifestation can reach.

At present you have the tray, the tray which is filled with goods of the beneficence of My FATHER, these goods are a document, the Words of My Mother and Mine are a document that mankind fails to comprehend because man has wished to use it for his own account and stamp it with his own seal, to appropriate that which is not his, because the Words of My FATHER are pearls of ivory that should be respected and loved and even though at present there is no one on the face of the Earth who has been able to discover the importance of the Words of My FATHER, because before them mankind trembles, but men look for a mistaken liberty, he does not look for the freedom from My FATHER, the freedom of open Hands, the liberty that never demands, that is never frustrated, a freedom given with an open hand extended to you that says: All that I have is yours, given to you unconditionally.

If you take Me by the hand to learn that which you need to learn, without seeing, only by knowing inside of yourself what made you tremble in your whole body and in the depths of your heart, which has blossomed, surged forth like a spring with such speed, like a gust of wind that you hear, that sweeps all in front of its path, because it is the Voice of My Mother, the wind that carries all before it to awaken man. How is it you do not wake? How?

By the voice of men, but what signifies the voice of man when he has a testament in Sacred History, but man does not comprehend the significance of the Sacred, how will he respect the significance of what he has not seen?

If you do not respect what you see, what you don't see you wish to explain in a way to destroy the WORD. For this I ask so many men of the Earth: the day that many responsible men understand the significance of the WORD, they will tremble as will tremble part of humanity and then you will ask yourselves, why have we not arrived in time, why have we listened to only wrong words, those words of violence, words of hate, of bitterness and pain?

Because this has been the manner by which man has considered his path without understanding where he is going. So that in This Place, is the synagogue where they will come to My Mother and I to discover so many things that at so many times I have implored you to do.

Who has hidden the sceptre together with Sacred History? Why did you hide it with such hatred? Why cannot the king of the impossible, Joseph, come to be a creator and saviour of humanity? why? why? Because he was a carpenter who taught Me. If I had no infancy it was because the world would not permit it, I became a Man and I was taught by the Will of My FATHER to find Myself like the homeless, those who were naked and without shoes, of those whom I implored so many times.

Never, never, never will you forget the day that you have spent in the service of your brothers, you yourself will use it on yourself, because your repentance will be the most anguished, the most immense work upon Earth, for this I ask each one of you: Never do, howsoever it were, that which you see, but listen to your conscience and open the door and give yourselves into the arms of My Mother and do not give yourself willingly to that voice without purpose that only comes to destroy so many souls, the world created by My FATHER will be erased from The Holy Face of the Earth and will convert the Earth into his throne, but I shall never permit it, because the throne of the world are yourselves, you will be My brothers because I have nothing and I want nothing.

You are a throne, you are the throne where one day I shall sit and I am The FATHER, the heir that wishes to inherit nothing other than only clean and set the throne of My brothers away from the anger of that man who goes around confusing the WORD[sowing confusion], for that brothers and friends there will be so many things that need to be said, one day you will see, because you will have your eyes opened and one eye will see the dirt and degradation and such catastrophe.

Perhaps, if you understand Me correctly I shall be in that Place, how is it that you ask have I come to the Earth for the wise? I came to the Earth for the humble, for those who have been disinherited from the goodness of My FATHER, but those who use the goods of My FATHER in their own way, will one day realize the sacrilege they commit. I come for those who do not understand because they have never had an opportunity to know the meaning of the goods of My FATHER.

The goods of My FATHER are not lost in the pockets of men, they are within souls, intending to open the door and waiting to come into your presence, so that all can understand the significance of spiritual goods that flow to each of you. For that have no fear, for that which I have to raise up, if you all do your part, a monument will be raised up to be scaled and I can make it the throne to seat Myself before you and tell you:

Blessed are they who never passed by but who helped and were always asking, how can I take into account so many things that showed me all was a passing moment, nothing more?

Because it will be a moment of clarity, when you will see all the doors, which for so long were opened to illuminate those disinherited brothers of Mine, disinherited of all those things which the world hid from them, as the world only wished for them the road of perdition, the path that leads to the cliff where they would lose their horizon, lose their way to Me. So today, allow Me to offer this flower of tenderness, nothing more, to be shared among you.

I want all to come to Me because I wish to say to you: You have to understand that there is only one WORD and that WORD is the unity and the unity is to follow the FAITH. Thank you for such tenderness, thank you, thank you My son, thank you, because life also is made for the noble and upright ones, because they are more wise than the men who hurl themselves to look for food, though that food is that which I give each day, the food that you do not comprehend. They are content with so very little, but you who have it all, how can you walk on the road where men are disinherited?

How can you think that I can have differences among you if I love you with everything I have? I have not come to separate men; I come to unite men, to say to mankind: Stretch out your hand to one another, do not convert yourselves like those men who think they will never be My heirs.

You are My heirs, these are difficult times where you will suffer much, because the CROSS is falling, breaking up, being destroyed in the path of men, because man lacks understanding, he does not comprehend, but I promise you this, that this union is to tell you: build up the CROSS, do not abandon It, he that thinks that his own CROSS is too heavy, be valiant, be brave and ask himself:

I will not permit anyone to judge me by his own standard, only I will treat each the same, as each deserves, each will I measure in the same manner and not one single seed will be lost, nothing will be left wanting. All will stay for My struggle.

For this My children, My Blessing is for everyone.

So, My children, I should like to be your Teacher and you My faithful pupils and that you would all learn the same phrases and all would see what is revealed to him, that you should carry the grace of this knowledge with you always, because I shall be there where I wish you to be and that it doesn't matter about all the blemishes man has placed on you, if you have been capable of following the Will of My FATHER.

For this My children, I as your Saviour the PEACE of the Lamb most humble and meek, will surrender Myself among you all so that you will be those small lambs that no shepherd on Earth can divide, that you will be the shepherds and all will walk giving yourselves up to the same path guided by the same rudder, bathing in the same waters and all walking in the same boat. This boat will be the Voice of My FATHER for My childen at all times. All these flowers I give, I wish them to be shared out, all of them, all of them.

All of you are responsible, all of you, for the very little that you may give, even if it be little there will be returned to you an immense ocean, because all of you have a duty to carry out a mission which you can scarcely comprehend."

Our Blessed Mother: "Even though these moments are very small that you dedicate to My Name or the Name of My Son wherever you may be, and remember to recall to mind My daughter, it is an immensity for My Son, because you will save many souls, because this Place will never be understood by heartless cruel men, because this Place is a Place of silence, of learning and patience, so that men can never make the mistake of making a show, because this Place is not a show place, it is a Place to enrich your mind and for your spiritual advantage, that falls on you like pearls, even though you do not feel this rain of LOVE."

Our Blessed Lord: "Each time that My Mother and I are present Here, it is like rain that falls upon you. My Blessings in the Name of My Holy Mother, in the Name of the FATHER and of the HOLY GHOST, this Blessing is for all of you!".

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 04 - OPEN YOUR HEARTS

"The perpetual adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament is an angelic service, an act of sublime faith and ardent love, a signal act of reparation to the Divine Heart of Jesus, a support for the Church Militant, a cause of special delight for the Church Triumphant and a source of indescribable relief for the members of the Church Suffering in Purgatory. It is not surprising, therefore, that the grace of an attraction toward the Holy Eucharist is considered one of the greatest graces God can bestow upon a soul." (The Blessed Sacrament: God With Us)

"May I ever find in His adorable Sacrament the same ardent wish, the same fervent desire to be for eternity united with Jesus" (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton).

Mother Teresa - Silence gives us a new outlook on everything.

We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say but what God says to us and through us. Jesus is always waiting for us in silence. In that silence, He will listen to us; there He will speak to our soul, and there we will hear His voice.

Padre Pio - In order to aim at perfection it is necessary to do everything possible to please God, to try to avoid even the smallest fault, and to do everything else with more generosity.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Too many politicians can't be trusted because they lack humility

"Our modern world has produced a generation of rich politicians who talk love of the poor, but never prove it in action, and a brood of the poor whose hearts are filled with envy for the rich and covetousness of their money. The rich who are humble help rather than use the poor to pave their way to power."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - And again, I would like to say three words to the soul that is determined to strive for sanctity and to derive fruit; that is to say, benefit from confession.

First word-complete sincerity and openness. Even the holiest and wisest confessor cannot forcibly pour into the soul what he desires if it is not sincere and open. An insincere, secretive soul risks great dangers in the spiritual life, and even the Lord Jesus Himself does not give Himself to such a soul on a higher level, because He knows it would derive no benefit from these special graces.

Second word-humility. A soul does not benefit as it should from the sacrament of confession if it is not humble. Pride keeps it in darkness. The soul neither knows how, nor is it willing, to probe with precision the depths of its own misery. It puts on a mask and avoids everything that might bring it recovery.

Third word-obedience. A disobedient soul will win no victory, even if the Lord Jesus himself, in person, were to hear its confession. The most experienced confessor will be of no help whatsoever to such a soul. The disobedient soul exposes itself to great misfortunes; it will make no progress toward perfection, nor will it succeed in the spiritual life. God lavishes His graces most generously upon the soul, but it must be an obedient soul. (113)

Quote of the Day Certainly nothing can so effectually humble us before the mercy of God as the multitude of his benefits. Nor can anything so much humble us before His justices as the enormity of our innumerable offences. Let us consider what He has done for us and what we have done against Him. -St. Francis de Sales

Today's Tidbit A patronal feast is the feast of the patron saint of a person. Therefore, today is the patronal feast of Pope John Paul II whose name Karol translates into Charles.

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. Nov

4 - OPEN YOUR HEARTS

Today the Madonna asks that we follow the lead of her Son :

Dear children, open your hearts and let Jesus guide you. To many people this seems to be hard, but is really so easy! You need not be afraid for you know that Jesus will never leave you and you know that he leads you to salvation (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana August 11,1986).

In John's gospel, we are also called to follow the Shepherd :

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice (Jn 10 :3-4).

Reflection:

When in Florence every visitor seeks out Michelangelo's statue of David, the shepherd lad. It is a masterpiece in marble. It stands nine feet high, alert with all the wonderful expensiveness of artistic genius. The statue has a history that is remarkable and splendidly suggestive of today's readings. A 100 years or more before the time of Michelangelo, a magnificent block of Carrara marble was brought to Florence by an now unknown sculptor. He worked on it, blocking out the figure which was in his mind, but suddenly bungled his work by cutting a great slice out of the side, which made it useless to him, and so it was cast aside.

There it lay for a century until the trained eye of Michelangelo rested on it. Immediately he caught the possibility that lay in the stone, and soon it was taking on form under his hand. Outlining and fashioning, carving and chiseling, a majestic figure was soon seen stepping from the marble, and even the mutilation which had rendered it useless to the original workman became part of the majesty of the new design.

" Open your hearts, " the Virgin says today, " and let Jesus guide you. " Like marble in the hands of a sculptor, we will be formed into his very image, regardless of our former sins and flaws.

Application :

Simply open your heart to Christ today, asking the he fashion it into the image of his own.

 

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!
