Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette December 15, 2007

 

 

 

Jesus and I will always be close to you

 

 

Reading: Luke 1:26-38

 

Dear friends,

 

 

Thanks and praise to you, dear Mother of God and our Mother.

 

I arrived back from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA in the early hours of Friday morning.

It was 2 a.m. when I finally got to bed. This airplane trip was very tiring. I

slept very well last night and so I feel rested this morning. I had a good trip

where I attended a nine-day novena for world peace. We prayed every day for

hours to Jesus, Our Lord, and we asked our Blessed Mother to intercede for peace

throughout the world. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass in the prayer room at

9:30 a.m. to thank Our Lord for this trip.

 

I spent a half-hour with our Blessed Mother this morning in prayer. She said,

Melvin, My son, I love you and I bless all My children throughout the world. I

was with you, Melvin, on your trip to Las Vegas where you celebrated My two

great feasts, My Immaculate Conception on December 8 and that of Our Lady of

Guadalupe on December 12. Now you are looking forward to the great feast of

Christmas, the birth of My Son, Jesus, the Saviour of the world. I call on all

those who believe in Jesus to prepare well on the feast of His birth.

 

 

It was My great joy to give birth to Jesus, the Lord and Saviour of the world.

Through Him, Almighty God intervened in a personal way in this world to bring

salvation to all. The Son of God came as a human being to live among us. He

brought the truth to all peoples and nations so that they may live with Him on

earth and after their stay here, they may be united with Him forever in heaven.

I call you to go to church often and to receive your Lord in Holy Communion if

you are free from serious sin.

 

I come to you often with a message for everyone to remind them again that there

is no salvation except through Jesus, My Son. Remain always close to Him and He

will welcome you one day in heaven with the angels and the saints. Pray, pray

daily so that your faith may be strong and that you receive the strength to

follow your Saviour every day. I especially call you to pray the rosary every

day. This prayer has great power to help you and you will receive the graces you

need at every moment. Praying the rosary is also a beautiful way to prepare your

heart for the Feast of Christmas. Be people of prayer and Jesus and I will

always be close to you. I bless you all.

 

 

Father Melvin

LEARNING TO LOVE       

"The season of Advent is the perfect

opportunity for us to recall the worthy
reason why the Holy Father convoked

the extraordinary Year of the

Eucharist:
so that we would 'contemplate more

intensely the face of the Incarnate

Word.'
For Advent prepares us to experience

that incomparable moment at

Christmas
when we will behold God's human face

in Jesus" (Fr. Peter John Cameron,

O.P.).
 

My opinions may have changed, but

not the fact that I am right.

Remember there's no I in team... (but

there is a M and an E)
Pope John Paul II -

June 1986 response to a group of

twelve Italian bishops seeking pastoral

advice on people making pilgrimages

to Medjugorje. "Let the people go to

Medjugorje if they convert, pray,

confess, do penance and fast."

http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.ht

m

Mother Teresa  -

Let us pray for one another.
Let us pray that we may accomplish

our life's mission, which is to be holy.

Let us pray that we will be the love

and kindness of God in today's world.

 Meditations by Padre Pio - To fear

losing yourself in the arms of Divine

Goodness, is stranger than the fear of

an infant held tightly in its mother's

arms.
 
 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

We do have control

Just as there is a right and wrong

theory about the sun and the earth,

so there is a right and wrong theory

about external circumstances. If we

revolve about what happens on the

outside, then the latter determines our

moods and attitudes. But if we make

what is external revolve around us, we

can determine the amount of their

influence.
St. Faustina's diary  

http://www.marian.org/directory_flas

h.html  - On Friday evening during the

rosary, when I was thinking about

tomorrow's journey and about the

importance of the matter which I was

to present to Father Andrasz,* fear

seized me at the sight of my misery

and incapability, and of the greatness

of God's work. Crushed by this

suffering, I submitted myself to the will

of God. At that moment, I saw Jesus,

in a bright garment, near my kneeler.

He said, Why are you afraid to do My

will? Will I not help you as I have done

thus far? Repeat every one of My

demands to those who represent Me

on earth, but do only what they tell

you to do. At that, a certain strength

entered my soul.       (489)

In the evening, when I was walking in

the garden saying my rosary and

came to the cemetery, I opened the

gate a little and began to pray for a

while, and I asked them interiorly,

"You are very happy are you not?"

Then I heard the words, "We are

happy in the measure that we have

fulfilled God's will"-and then silence as

before. I became introspective and

reflected for a long time on how I am

fulfilling God's will and how I am

profiting from the time that God has

given me.       (515)

*Father Sopocko, not sure of Sister

Faustina's inspirations regarding the

establishing of a new community,

wanted to refer the matter to one

more priest for consideration, and for

that reason he told Sister Faustina to

give an account of all the commands

she received to her former confessor,

Father Andrasz, S.J., in Cracow.

Quote of the Day Just as we can

never separate asceticism from

mysticism, so in St. John of the Cross

we find darkness and light, suffering

and joy, sacrifice and love united

together so closely that they seem at

times to be identified. -Thomas

Merton

Dec 14 - LEARNING TO LOVE

During Advent of 1984 Our Lady gave

the following message:

Dear children, you know that the day

of joy is approaching but without love

you will receive little. First, then, start

loving your family and everyone in the

parish; then you will be able to love

and accept all those who come here.

Let these seven days be a week of

learning to love.

This Christmas will be unforgettable if

you follow me. Disconnect your

television sets and radios, and begin

God's program: meditation, prayer,

reading the Gospels. Prepare

yourselves with faith; then, having

understood love, your life will be filled

with happiness (Weekly Message Dec

13, 1984).

Reflection:

The Blessed Virgin says, not

surpassingly, that love is the whole

context of Christmas, "the season of

Joy", and it is prepared for simply by

loving first or own family, and then our

neighbor. "Learn to love", she urges

us. But how? Today's reading from

John's gospel is telling: "They who

have my commandments and keep

them are those who love me; and

those who love me will be loved by

my Father, and I will love them and

reveal myself to them."

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord,

how is that you will reveal yourself to

us, and not to the world?" Jesus

answered him, "Those who love me

will keep my word, and my Father will

love them, and we will come to them

and make our home with them." (Jn

14:21-23).

How then "to learn to love"? Christ

first speaks to us of keeping his

commandments, of being fair and

decent with all people. Second, his

appeal to "love one another as I loved

you" (Jn 15:12) means that Jesus'

own life is our primary example for

learning to live. Like him, loving means

to help, to heal, to enlighten, and

above all, to love even sacrificially, as

his own life testifies.

The Gospels, then, which relate the life

of Christ, are a canvas on which is

painted the many hues and shades of

his love. Our Lady asks that we

carefully examine that portrait, and

with her messages to help us, to live

out her Son's love in our own lives.

Application:

Spend some time today reflecting on

how you see Jesus loving in the

Gospels. What were his actions of

love? His words of love? How can I

imitate his love in my own life? What

action or word of love can I give to

another today?
Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 14 -
LEARNING TO LOVE       
These are words of Fr. Slavko from

5/18/85:

"Why fast? You can find a lot of

reading on fasting, but I am telling

you: just start. Fasting is like prayer, it

is a duty for us as Christians because

both Jesus, Mary and all the saints

fasted. And St. Francis, do you know

how many days he fasted? This fasting

means: living on bread alone for a

whole day. This is very important,

because one then gradually learns to

live a simple life, one begins to realize

that we have sufficient, that we do not

have to worry, and to be anxious, and

besides this, it is also a help to resist

our continual longing always to have

more. But the best thing to do is:

start fasting, and then you will see.

But in order to fast more easily, it is

necessary also to pray. "
"We look forward to celebrating the

first coming of Jesus at Christmas.  

We look forward with hope to the

second coming of Jesus in his glory.  

We seek out Jesus here and now in

the Mass, when he comes to us in the

Eucharist" (Fr. Richard Veras).


 

Pope John Paul II -

August 1, 1989 address by the Pope

to a group of Italian physicians

dedicated to defending unborn life and

to making scientific and medical

studies on the apparition, as reported

by Bishop Paul Hnilica, SJ, Auxiliary

Bishop of Rome: "Today's world has

lost its sense of the supernatural, but

many are searching for it - and find it

in Medjugorje, through prayer,

penance and fasting."

http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.ht

m

Mother Teresa  -

May we all have hearts overflowing

with love as a reflection of God's love.

God's love is what can save our

families, our country, and the world.

Padre Pio - He who attaches himself

to the earth remains attached to it. It

is better to detach oneself little by little

instead of all at once. Let us always

think of Heaven.
 Archbishop Fulton Sheen - True

tolerance extends love and patience

"There can be another form of

tolerance which is right, such as one

inspired by true charity or love of God.

Even though the virtuous may hold

absolutely to their philosophy of life,

they do so, not because they look

down on the views of others as not as

good as their own, but because their

own beliefs are so real to them that

they would not have anyone else hold

them with less reason, less love and

less devotion."
St. Faustina's diary  

http://www.marian.org/directory_flas

h.html  -Once, the Lord said to me,

My daughter, take the graces that

others spurn; take as many as you

can carry. At that moment, my soul

was inundated with the love of God. I

feel that I am united with the Lord so

closely that I cannot find words to

express that union; in this state I

suddenly feel that all the things God

has, all the goods and treasures, are

mine, although I set little store by

them, for He alone is enough for me.

In Him I see my everything; without

Him-nothing.

I look for no happiness beyond my

own interior where God dwells. I

rejoice that God dwells within me;

here I abide with Him unendingly; it is

here that my greatest intimacy with

Him exists; here I dwell with Him in

safety; here is a place not probed by

the human eye. The Blessed Virgin

encourages me to commune with God

in this way.       (454)

The day of the renewal of vows. At

the beginning of Holy Mass, I saw

Jesus in the usual way. He blessed us

and then entered the tabernacle. Then

I saw the Mother of God in a white

garment and blue mantle, with her

head uncovered. She approached me

from the altar, touched me with her

hands and covered me with her

mantle, saying, Offer these vows for

Poland. Pray for her.      (468)

r. Gloria Polo's Return From The Gates

of Hell - Part 1 of 2

Colombia, South America
Interview of Dr. Gloria Polo by Radio

Maria (Colombia)

GLORIA POLO's WITNESS
[Taken from one of the interviews

done to Dr. Gloria Polo by Radio Maria
(Colombia)]

Brothers and sisters! It's beautiful for

me to be with you sharing this
precious gift my Lord gave me more

than ten years ago. (This was at the

National
University of Colombia in Bogota). I

was attending graduate school, along
with my nephew, who was also a

dentist. My husband was with us that

day. We had
to pick up some books at the School

of Dentistry on a Friday afternoon. It

was
raining very hard and my nephew and

I were sharing a small umbrella. My

husband
was wearing his raincoat and he

approached the outside wall of the

General
Library. Meanwhile, my nephew and I

approached the trees without noticing,

while
skipping puddles. As we were about to

skip to avoid a huge puddle, we were
struck by lightning. We were charred.

My nephew died there. He was a

young man
who, despite his young age, had given

himself over to the Lord and was very
devout to the Infant Jesus. He always

carried the Infant Jesus? image inside

a
quartz crystal next to his chest.

According to the coroner, lightning

entered
him through the image, ran through

his heart, burned him on the inside and
exited through his foot. But on the

outside, he was not charred or burnt.

In my
case, instead, lightning came in this

way and burned my body in a

horrifying
way, on the inside and outside. This

body you see here, this reconstructed

body,
is through the mercy of our Lord.

Lightning charred me, left me without

breasts,
practically made my whole flesh and

ribs vanish. My stomach, my legs;

lightning
went out my right foot, my liver was

charred, my kidneys were burned, just

like
my lungs.

I did family planning using the copper-T

intrauterine device. Therefore
copper, an excellent electrical

conductor, charred me, it pulverized

my ovaries.
I was left in cardiac arrest, lifeless, my

body jumping from the electricity
that remained in it. But look: that?s

the physical part. The most beautiful

part
is that while my flesh was there

charred, at that instant I found myself

inside
a beautiful white tunnel full of joy and

peace, a happiness for which there are
no human words that can describe the

grandeur of the moment. The climax

of the
moment was immense. I was happy

and joyful, nothing weighed me down

inside that
tunnel. At the bottom of that tunnel I

saw like a sun, a most beautiful light. I
call it white to name a color because

no color on earth is comparable with

that
most beautiful light. I felt the source of

all that love, all that peace.

As I was going up I realized I had died.

At that instant I thought about my
kids and I said Oh, my God, my kids!

What will they say? This very busy

mom
never had time for them! That's when

I saw my life truthfully and I became

sad.
I left home to transform the world,

and I couldn't handle my kids and my

home.

And in that instant of emptiness for

my children, I looked and saw

something
beautiful: my flesh was not in this time

or space. I saw everybody in a single
instant, at the same time, both the

living and the dead. I embraced my
great-grandparents and my parents,

who had passed away. I hugged

everyone; it
was a full and beautiful moment.

That's when I realized I had been

cheated into
believing in reincarnation, which I even

defended. I used to see my

grandfather
and my great-grandfather

everywhere. But they hugged me

here, I met with them in
an instant, we embraced and I

embraced all the people I had anything

to do with
in my life, everywhere, at the same

instant. When I hugged my daughter,

she got
scared. She was nine years old. She

felt my embrace. No time had gone by

during
that moment, so beautiful, out of my

flesh. I didn't see in the same way I did
before, where I only noticed who was

fat, thin, dark-skinned, or ugly, always
with prejudice. Now, out of my flesh, I

would see people on the inside. How
beautiful it is to see people on the

inside. I would see their thoughts, their
feelings. I embraced them in an instant

and, still, I kept rising and rising,
full of joy. At that point I felt that I

was going to enjoy a beautiful sight,
an extraordinarily beautiful lake. At

that moment, I heard my husband's

voice.
My husband was crying and with a

deep cry, with deep feeling, he called

out to
me and said Gloria, please don't go!

Gloria, come back! The kids, Gloria,

don't
give up! In that instant I took a big

glance and I saw not only him, but I

saw
him crying in deep pain. And the Lord

allowed me to come back, although I

didn't
want to. What a joy, how much

peace, how much happiness! Then, I

started
descending slowly to find my body,

where I found myself lifeless. My body

was on
a gurney at the medical center on

campus. I saw how the doctors gave

me electric
shocks to pull me out of cardiac

arrest. We lay there for two and a half

hours.
They couldn't pick us up because our

bodies were still conducting electricity.
When that finally stopped they were

able to assist us and they started
resuscitation. I set my feet here, on

this part of my head, and I felt a spark
that pulled me in violently. I went back

into my body. It was very painful to

go
back because sparks came out

everywhere. And I saw me fit into

such a small
thing?. My flesh hurt, it was burned. It

hurt a lot. Smoke and vapor came out

of
it. And the most horrible pain was that

of my vanity. I was a woman of the
world, an executive woman; an

intellectual, a student, enslaved by my

body,
beauty, and fashion. I would work out

four hours each day. I would slave to

have
a beautiful body: massage therapies,

diets, well, everything you can

imagine,
that was my life; an enslaving routine

for the sake of a beautiful body. And I
would say if I have beautiful breasts, I

might as well show them off. No point
in hiding them! The same was true for

my legs, because I thought I had great
legs and breasts. But in an instant, I

saw with horror how I had spent my

life
taking care of my body. That was the

center of my life: my love toward my

body.
But now, there was no body and no

breasts; just some horrible holes. In
particular my left breast had practically

vanished. My legs were the worst:
empty gaps with no flesh, completely

charred and blackened. From there,

we were
transported to a hospital, where they

quickly moved me to the operating

room and
began scraping all my burned tissue.

When I was under anesthesia, I came

out of my body again. I saw what the
surgeons were doing to my body. I

was worried for my legs. All of a

sudden I
went through a moment of horror. I

had been a dieting Catholic all my life.

My
relationship with the Lord was down to

Sunday Eucharist, no longer than 25
minutes, wherever the priest's homily

was shortest, because I couldn't stand
anything longer. That was my

relationship with the Lord. All the

trends of the
world tossed me like a windsock. In

fact, when I was already in graduate

school,
I once heard a priest say that hell

didn't exist and neither did demons.

That
was the only thing that had kept me in

the Church. When I was told the devil
didn't exist, I just thought we were all

going to heaven regardless of who we
were. That distanced me completely

from the Lord. My conversations

became bad,
because sin was not contained inside

of me. I started telling everyone that
demons didn't exist, that they had

been invented by the priests, that they

were
manipulations. Hanging out with

college friends I started to say that

God didn't
exist and that we were the sole

product of evolution. But back to that

instant
in the operating room, I was really

terrified! I saw demons coming for me

and I
was their pay. At that moment I saw

many people coming out of the walls

of the
operating room. At first sight they

looked normal, but with a look of

hatred on
their faces, a horrible look. At that

point through some special insight

given
to me, I realized I owed each one of

them. I realized sin was not for free

and
that the main infamy and lie of the

devil was to state that he didn't exist.

I
saw how they were coming for me.

You can imagine how scared I was.

This
scientific and intellectual mind was of

no avail to me. I bounced off the floor,
into my body, trying to come into it

again, but my body wouldn't let me in.

I
ran away and I'm not sure when I

went through the wall in the operating

room. I
was hoping to hide in some hallway in

the hospital but I ended up jumping

into
thin air.

I went into some tunnels heading

downward. At first, they had light and
looked like bee hives. There were lots

of people. But I started descending

and
light became scarce and I started

roaming some tunnels in pitch

darkness. That
darkness has no comparison. The

darkest darkness on earth is like

noontime
sunlight compared to it. That darkness

causes pain, horror, and shame. And it
smells very bad. I finished descending

down those tunnels and landed

desperately
on a flat spot. I used to claim I had an

iron will, that nothing was too much
for me. But that was useless now,

because I wanted to climb up and I

couldn't.
At that point I saw a huge mouth

opening up on the floor and I felt

immense
emptiness in my body, a bottomless

abyss. The most horrifying thing about

that
hole was that not even a bit of God's

love was felt in it, not a drop of hope.
The hole sucked me in and I felt

terrified.

I knew that if I went in there, my soul

would die. In the midst of that
horror, as I was being pulled in, I was

grabbed by my feet. My body was

inside
that hole, but my feet were being

pulled from the top. It was a very

painful and
horrifying moment. My atheism fell to

the wayside. I started clamoring for

the
souls in purgatory to help me out of

there. As I was shouting I felt intense
pain because I realized that thousands

and thousands of people are there,

mostly
young people. Very painfully, I heard

the gnashing of teeth, horrible

screams
and moans that shook me to the

core. It took me several years to

assimilate this
because I would cry every time that I

remembered their suffering. I realized
that?s where people who commit

suicide in an instant of desperation

end, finding
themselves surrounded by those

horrors. But the most terrible torment

there is
the absence of God. God couldn't be

felt there.

In the midst of all that pain, I started

screaming who made this mistake?

I'm
practically a saint! I've never stolen,

I've never killed, I gave food to the
poor, I gave free dental treatments to

those who couldn't afford them. What

am I
doing here? I went to Mass on

Sundays, I always went even though I

considered
myself an atheist. I didn't miss more

than five Sundays my entire life. I

always
went to Mass, what am I doing here?

I'm a Catholic, please, I'm a Catholic,

take
me out of here! While I was screaming

about being a Catholic I saw a tiny

light.
I need to tell you that any light in that

darkness is the best gift anyone can
get. I saw some stairs over that hole

and I saw my Dad, who had died five

years
before, next to the hole, lit by a faint

light, and four steps higher I saw my
Mom, with plenty more light and in a

prayerful posture.

When I saw them I was very happy. I

started yelling daddy, mommy, please

take
me out of here, I beg you, take me

out of here! When they lowered their

eyes,
and my dad saw me there, you should

have seen the immense pain they felt.

In
that place, you feel people's feelings,

you can see pain. My dad started

crying,
holding his head with his two hands

and shaking my daughter, my

daughter! My mom
was praying and I noticed they could

not take me out and that my pain was
compounded noticing they were

sharing that pain with me there.

So I started screaming again, please,

take me out of here, I'm a Catholic!
Who made this mistake? Please, take

me out of here!As I was shouting this

second
time, a voice was heard, a sweet

voice, a voice that makes my soul

shake when I
hear it. Everything was inundated with

love and peace and all those creatures
ran away in horror because they don't

stand love or peace. And there was

peace
for me when that precious voice called

out to me all right, if you are a
Catholic, tell me the commandments

of God's law.

What a failed attempt! I knew there

were ten, but nothing beyond that.

What
was I going to do? My mom always

talked to me about the first

commandment of
love. Finally it paid out. Finally my

mom's chatter became useful. I had

to
repeat mom's chatter here. I thought I

could wing this one so the others
wouldn't show too much. I thought I

could handle things here the way I

used to
on earth, always with a perfect

excuse, always justifying and

defending myself
so no one would notice what I didn't

know. But this was the real thing, so I
started to say Love God above all and

your neighbor as yourself.Very well, I
heard, have you loved them? And I

said I have, I have, I have! When I

heard No!
for an answer, that's when I really felt

the shock of lightning run through me
even though I hadn't noticed where

the bolt had hit me. No, you haven't

loved
your Lord above all things, and much

less your neighbor as yourself! You

made a
god that you adjusted to your life only

when in moments of desperate need!

You
would prostrate yourself before him

when you were poor, when your

family was
humble, when you wanted to go to

college! Back then you prayed on a

daily basis
and you would prostrate long periods

of time, whole hours, begging of your

Lord,
praying and asking him to pull you out

of poverty and allow you to get a

degree
and become someone. Whenever you

were in need and wanted money, you

would say a
rosary. Lord, please send me some

money! That was your relationship

with your
Lord! I had an ATM relationship with

the Lord, I have to admit. I grabbed

the
rosary, and expected money in return,

that was my relationship with him. I

was
shown how, as soon as I got my

degree and made a name for myself,

the Lord
became too small for me and I started

thinking myself better. Not even the
smallest expression of love with my

Lord. Being thankful Never! Not even

while
opening my eyes in the morning,

never a thank you, Lord, for this new

day you've
given me, thanks for my health, for

the life of my children, because I have

a
roof over my head, I pity those with

no roof over their heads or food to

eat!
Nothing! Very ungrateful! And besides,

you placed your Lord so low that even
Mercury and Venus you entrusted

more with your luck. You were

blind-sided by
astrology, claiming the stars ran your

life! You started walking in all the
doctrines of the world. You started to

believe that you would die and would
start again! And you forgot grace! You

forgot that you had been ransomed

by your
Lord's blood!

They gave me a test on the Ten

Commandments. They showed me

that I claimed I
adored and loved God with my words,

but in reality, I adored Satan. A

woman
would come to my dentist's office to

offer her services as a sorcerer and I
would say I don't believe in that, but

put those charms right there, just in
case, for good luck. I had set in a

corner, where patients did not know, a
horseshoe and a cactus plant,

supposedly to scare away bad

energies.

How shameful all of this was! They

made an analysis of all my life based

on
the Ten Commandments. They

showed me who I had been with my

fellowman. They
showed me how I would tell God I

loved him when I wasn't far from him

yet, when
I wasn't involved yet in atheism, but

with the same tongue with which I

blessed
the Lord, I would lash out against all of

mankind. I used to criticize everyone.
I used to point a finger at everyone,

the ever-saintly Gloria. And they

showed
me how I was full of envy and always

ungrateful. I never recognized all my
parents' love and selfless effort, to see

me through college, to raise me. As
soon as I got a college degree, even

they became too little for me. I even

felt
ashamed of my mom, because of her

simplicity, humility, and poverty.

And they showed me as wife. Who

was I? I would complain day in and

day out,
from the break of day. My husband

would say good morning and I would

respond
what do you mean good? Look, it's

raining outside! I would complain

about my
children too. They showed me that I

never had love or compassion for my
fellowmen, for my brothers and sisters

out there. And the Lord told me you

never
had any consideration for the sick,

never kept them company in their

loneliness.
Never once compassionate for

children without a mother, for all those

suffering
children. I had a heart of stone. In a

nutshell, I didn't get half an answer
right on my Ten Commandments test.

Dear Joyce and All Followers of The

Word of Christ!


Please know that while I have not a

Spiritual Adviser at this time and am
without the guidance and overseeing

of helping me to convert His word into
proper sequence, at time I will err. In

spite of that, in my heart I believe
Jesus wants me to continue to share

His messages with all His children.


God bless,

Hearts and Souls Resembling A

Porcelain Rose


Today I spent time alone with Jesus in

silent commune and made small
offerings to Jesus and Mary. A rosary

was offered for those with special

needs
and intentions.

After praying that Jesus please cover

me with His most precious blood, I
asked, Speak Lord (if it be His will),

Your servant listens.


Jesus responded to my prayer

through my heart saying My child

Eileen, just as a Rose loses its petals

one by one, Sin causes the heart and

soul of My children to grow cold and

to crack. The Porcelain rose also then,

is a reflection of how sin leads to My

own heartbreak!

Go in peace to love and serve the

Lord. Continue to pray for your

brothers and sisters. Amen

Messages to Fr. Melvin Doucette and Patsy Soto & Wayne Weible's newsletter

 

 

Dear Joyce here are all the messages given to Fr. Melvin and patsy soto during the December 4 thru 12 Las Vegas Novena For World Peace. Kathy and Joyce can you please get them out

 

Messages from Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother to

 

Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucette

Given December 5, 7, 8, 9th, 2007 Las Vegas Novena For World Peace/Retreat with Art, Patsy Soto and His Teachings

Ministry

 

1. Jesus spoke to me saying, Melvin, My brother, I love you. I called you to Las Vegas to take part in the Novena for World Peace. I am blessing every person who takes part in this Novena and they will receive a special gift from Me. I wish to show you that I love you all with all My Heart.

 

2. During a time of contemplative prayer with the group, Jesus spoke to me saying, My Heart is full of joy that you all come to Me in prayer. You wish to have a deep personal relationship with Me and you have to practice this prayer

every day for our relationship to grow.

 

I give you all the gift of contemplative prayer and I call you all to come to Me in contemplative prayer every day. If you do, I will shower you with My graces. I love you all, My dear brothers and sisters.

 

3. On December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Blessed Mother, Our Mother spoke to me saying, Many millions of My children throughout the world are celebrating this great feast of mine with great devotion. You who are taking part in the Novena for World Peace, are also filled with joy as you celebrate My Feast. You delight My Heart with your great devotion and I embrace you all for you are My dear children.

 

I call on all of you to pray the rosary every day and you will bring great joy to your Mother. Remain close to Me and I will bring you all to My Son Jesus, Your Savior and Lord. I love you, My sons and daughters, and I intercede for you always.

 

4. On December 9th, the 2nd Sunday of Advent, Jesus spoke to me saying, Melvin, My brother, I love you. I am bringing you now to My tomb in Jerusalem, which you visited many times when you lived there for three months.

 

Look at the slab on the floor of the tomb and realize that My Body was placed there after it was taken down from the cross. My Body laid there Friday, all day Saturday until early Sunday morning.

 

Early on that Sunday morning, My resurrection took place. My Body was changed into a Glorious Body and I was totally alive never to die again. Every Sunday you celebrate this Glorious Resurrection of mine. My Resurrection placed an very important role for the Apostles and for the

establishment of My Church on earth.

 

If I had not been raised from the dead, the Apostles would have lost their faith in Me and the Church would not have been born. It is important that you keep My Resurrection as one of the greatest events of My Life.

 

I ask you all to work together with Me to bring at least one person a year to Me so that person can become a member of My Church. Speak to people about My Resurrection and that I am alive and calling them all to come to Me. I want the salvation of every person in the world and I need your cooperation. I love you all.

 

5. On December 10th, Our Lord spoke this message: Melvin, My brother, I love you. I bless you again together with all those who are continuing the Novena for World Peace. You do not know the people who are touched by these prayers and let Me tell you that there are many who receive graces because of this Novena.

 

Let everyone know that prayer is essential for those who believe in Me. As food is essential for the health of your body, prayer is absolutely necessary for the health of your spiritual life. I especially call you to contemplative prayer,

the prayer of My Heart.

 

Ask and I will give you the gift of this prayer. Through this prayer I will become number one in your heart. You will have a loving relationship with Me and you will live in My Heart and I will live in yours.

 

Come, My friends, and spend time with Me every day. I bless you all.

 

6 Message for December 11th, 2007

 

Early this morning I spent time in contemplative prayer with Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and He spoke to me saying:

 

Melvin, My brother, I bless you with My peace. I am the resurrected One who lives at the right hand of the Father and who leads the Church on earth.

 

When I appeared to My Apostles after My Resurrection, I greeted them with these words, Peace be with you. I gave them My peace, this great gift which no one can give but Myself. I do not give My peace as the world does. The world tries to give peace through material things but these cannot satisfy the heart of man.

 

Unfortunately, many are looking for this peace but they are looking in the wrong places. They think they will find it by buying of a beautiful car but these things do not satisfy the human heart. Others are looking this peace and joy in

drugs, alcohol or by following the desires of the flesh.

 

All these things leaves you at the end completely empty. I am the only one who can give you what you heart desires. Come to Me, My brothers and sisters, and I will fill you

completely and you will have great peace. Stop looking in the wrong places and come to Me, your friend and Savior, and you will have the peace you crave.

 

Accept Me as your Savior and give yourself totally to Me and you will be renewed. I give you all My peace.

 

 

7. Message for December 12, 2007 (Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe)

 

While in contemplative prayer this morning, Our Blessed Mother spoke to me saying, Melvin, My son, I bless you and I bless all those present for the Novena for World Peace. I especially bless today the people of the country of Mexico on

My great Feast Day.

 

I am dispensing the graces won by My Son Jesus on the cross to all My children in Mexico who celebrate My Feast. I also distribute these graces to all those who live in Central America. I send special blessings and graces to all My children who live in South America and to all those who live in North America.

 

I call on My Son Jesus to help you all to enlarge your hearts so that you love with greater intensity. Many of you need to grow every day in loving My Son who is your Redeemer. That is why I ask that your hearts be enlarged so that you

will love more. You must love as Jesus loves you with all your heart. Do not put any limit to your love but in loving Him offer yourselves completely to Him. I am calling you all today on My Feast day to come to Me in prayer and I will

bring you all to Jesus, My Son, that He may bless you and heal you. Pray daily My children and do not forget to pray the rosary every day. I bless you all.

 

This is only a short excerpt from the message below of November 27, 2007.

November 27, 2007 – Tuesday 9:00 pm Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto Approved for release by Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucette, Spiritual Director for Art & Patsy Soto

December 4, 2007

 

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations My little ones there are some special Persons that I want to teach you about so that you may understand Who I am speaking about in the prayers I would like to teach you.

 

God the Father loved so much that He wanted to share this love so He Made Man and Woman to share this love with.

 

He also chose a special man to be My earthly Father and his name was Joseph. You celebrate My birth on Christmas.

 

It is important that you continue to celebrate and remember My birth as a special day where I came into this world so that all of you could have Eternal Life which means you will live with me in heaven forever. I love you my little children and this is something I ask you to think of daily.

 

The words IN RED are for your parents to read and help you to understand and share with each other My Holy Mother's Rosary.

homes or at stores.

Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto

Friday, November 30, 2007

6:53 am

Approved for Release by Reverend Fr. William Lauriola, November 30, 2007 @ 8:57

Am Approved for Release by Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucette Spiritual Director for Art & Patsy Soto, December 4, 2005

 

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations, thank you my beloved little one for opening your heart to My Words. I desire to thank each one of you my beloved ones for coming to spend this time in

prayer with me and My Holy Mother.

 

 

In these days that you are here whether it be for one day or every day of My Novena For World Peace I desire that you

realize the importance of prayer in your daily lives. For you see my beloved children each one of you are not here by chance. You are here because you accepted my invitation to come here to My Houses of Prayer to go forward in your

prayer life With Me, Through Me, For Me.

 

You may not have realized this when you accepted My Invitation in your heart. You may think you are here just to see what His Teaching's Ministry is or what My House of Prayer is, or just because you wanted to hear the words of My beloved son with the Consecrated Hands, My Beloved Fr. Melvin Doucette, who speaks daily with Us.

 

But make no mistake you are here because I Have brought you here and by the time you leave here You will know in your heart that this is My Ministry, this is My Work, My Novena For World Peace Plan, which I have taken and will take to many areas of your United States and throughout the world.

 

And each one of you my children are My Instruments and will be My Instruments to reach all those that I desire to reach, through your prayers, your examples, your love, your mercy and your dedication to Me your Jesus of Mercy.

 

This My Ministry has been going on for over twenty years, some of you began your walk in this my ministry and have seen it grow for almost that long, some of you are just in the beginning stages of your walk with Me and are just beginning to realize the importance of My Ministry in your lives, but you will all leave here with a better understanding

and a more ardent desire to keep your commitment to Me, as well as your spiritual journey with Me, an important part of your life. You will only receive in this world what you are willing to strive for and this includes your

Spiritual Life for you cannot reap what you do not sow. This world cannot promise you Eternal Life but I can.

 

The worldly ways can give fleeting moments of pleasure and untruths, which can only lead to deadening the soul and a thirst that cannot be quenched, but I can give you Love Eternal that will never die and when you live life With Me, Through Me, For Me you will know Truth and have Life Eternal.

 

 It is through a surrender of your will to My Holy Will that will bring Peace, Love and Mercy from Me your Jesus of Mercy and their will be times that you may want to stop your journey because the roads seems to difficult and

even painful but it is at these times that I ask only that you try, that you call out to Me your Jesus of Mercy and know that I will lift you into My Arms and carry you through those difficult times for I will never leave you, I have never left you and I will always love you even when you are not able to do what I ask of you.

 

I and My Holy Mother are always with you and when you feel that no one is there for you, no one is listening to you, no one cares about you that you are all alone, know that is a trick of evil to disrupt your journey with

Me. Again I say to you call out to Me for I am always with you, I never leave you I have always loved you and will always love you, your Jesus of Mercy

 

"If between Feb. 2, 2008, [...] and Feb. 11, 2008, feast of the Blessed Virgin

Mary of Lourdes and 150th anniversary of the apparition, they visit, in any

church, grotto or decorous place, the blessed image of that same Virgin of

Lourdes, solemnly exposed for public veneration, and before the image

participate in a pious exercise of Marian devotion, or at least pause for an

appropriate space of time in prayer and with pious meditations, concluding with

the recital of the Our Father, the Profession of Faith, [...] and the invocation

of the Blessed Virgin Mary."

 

The decree concludes by recalling that faithful who "through sickness, old age

or other legitimate reason are unable to leave their homes, may still obtain the

plenary indulgence [...] if, with the soul completely removed from attachment to

any form of sin and with the intention of observing, as soon as they can, the

usual three conditions, on the days Feb. 2-11, 2008, in their hearts they

spiritually visit the above-mentioned places and recite those prayers,

trustingly offering to God, through Mary, the sickness and discomforts of their

lives."

 

December 6, 2007 - Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto

 

8:30 am

Approved by Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucette Spiritual Director for Art & Patsy Soto

9:30 am

 

Beloved Little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, Praise be to Jesus for Jesus

is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. As you have opened your

heart to hear My Words My beloved Little one, I thank you for your answer to My

Call. I come this day to give you special words for all My Children.

But first I desire to say to My Beloved son with the consecrated hands, My

Beloved Fr. Melvin Doucette, these words.

 

I will give you words My son regarding

My Ministry His Teachings Ministry and the importance of bringing My Novena For

World Peace into many areas throughout the world. It will be an important and

urgent message for the world, for I desire to reach many of my children through

My Novena For World Peace.

 

Again the promise of a Roman Catholic Priest to be

present with family members before the time of their death is a promise given a

grace given for any one who will bring My Novena For World Peace into their

area.

 

I am your Jesus of Mercy, My children open your hearts to My Call. As

you have realized through My Holy Mothers last visit to My Beloved Mirjana,

these are and have been very urgent times and soon if My Holy Mothers pleas are

not reaching and opening hearts for change to return to God the Father, God the

Son, God the Holy Spirit, My Father's Hand of Justice will not be held back.

These words are given not to give fear but to plead again for all my children to

be made aware and to remind each person, that your souls will live eternally!

It is your choice where your souls will live forever.

 

 

If a soul is in the error

of sin than do not make the mistake of refusing to change to receive the Holy

Sacrament of Reconciliation.

 

 I have given you My Children, the Holy Sacrament

of Reconciliation, A Holy Sacrament that should be one of your weekly if not

monthly soul saving exercise's. So many children seek and utilize their time to

exercise for the physical strength, Health and protection of the body but so

few seek to exercise their time for the protection of their souls!

 

 The body

does not live forever and mankind fails to realize that their souls will live

for all eternity!

 

It is entirely up to each individual where their soul will

live, this is why it is so important to recieve the Holy Sacrament of

Reconciliation and the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist regularly in order to

always be prepared not only to receive Me your Jesus of Mercy but also that your

soul always be prepared for noone knows the hour they will be called home!

 

Are

each one of you prepared My Children to stand before me, for you will make the

choice where your soul will live eternally. Once again I invite My children to

open their hearts to My Call for My Novena For World Peace to be brought into

your areas for through My Novena For World Peace many hearts are being and will

be opened with many graces being given to open the hearts of the harden hearts

so that they may also be touched in order to prepare their souls.

 

Will you not

listen to My Pleas, to My Holy Mothers's Pleas, for what Mirjana has seen and

spoken of I beg you My children do not take our words, our love, My Holy

Mothers's Tears lightly.

 

My beloved one's your Most Holy Father Pope Benedict is giving a very special

decree for the anniversary of the apparition of My Holy Mother of Lourdes,

during this time there is a Novena For World Peace I have requested take place,

it My desire that you open your hearts to see that My Novena is taking place.

 

 

(The Novena For World Peace Jesus is speaking of is the NFWP Feb. 2 - Feb 8,

2007) I will give many special Blessings, for all who attend My Novena For World

Peace or say the prayers during this Novena on their own during the time of My

Novena, many graces of conversions of faith will be given to all their family

members who have fallen away from My Holy Church, they will also be given a

desire to seek the Holy Sacrament of Reconciliation in order that their souls

are prepared.

 

Please my children in how many ways can I show you My Love, return

this love to Me your Jesus of Mercy, open your hearts to My Pleas, to My Holy

Mother's Pleas. I love you each My children, your Jesus of Mercy

 

Open my little one to Isaiah 5 Vs1-7

 

I love you My children, I bless you each My children, your Jesus of Mercy

 

(As of this date December 13, 2007, the Novena For World Peace is not confirmed

once confirmed, The Prayers for the Novena will be made available through His

Teachings's Ministry Website at histeachingsministry.com and Joyce Lang)

Subject :  Inform of What is Soon To Come!

 

Son, reserve your time, energy and knowledge in informing others of what is soon to come to the earth.  A catastrophe is in the offing, the magnitude of which exceeds what has happened so far in your era.

 

 

It is a wake up call and event that people all over the world cannot help but finally recognize that the prophesied time has indeed arrived.

 

Make this known so that people can prepare.

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 14 - LEARNING TO LOVE   

 

These are words of Fr. Slavko from 5/18/85:

 

"Why fast? You can find a lot of reading on fasting, but I am telling you: just start. Fasting is like prayer, it is a duty for us as Christians because both Jesus, Mary and all the saints fasted. And St. Francis, do you know how many days he fasted?

 

This fasting means: living on bread alone for a whole day. This is very important, because one then gradually learns to live a simple life, one begins to realize that we have sufficient, that we do not have to worry, and to be anxious, and besides this, it is also a help to resist our continual longing always to have more.

 

 But the best thing to do is: start fasting, and then you will see. But in order to fast more easily, it is necessary also to pray. "

"We look forward to celebrating the first coming of Jesus at Christmas.  We look forward with hope to the second coming of Jesus in his glory.  We seek out Jesus here and now in the Mass, when he comes to us in the Eucharist" (Fr. Richard Veras).

 

 

"We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors.... but they all have to learn to live in the same box."

 

 BEYOND THE GRAVE

                                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~

    At her father's wake, a woman told her priest that ever since she was a

child she and her father had discussed life after death.  They had agreed

that whomever went first would contact the other.  They had discussed this

again just two weeks before his death.

 

    He died in her home and a few days after his death the smoke alarm in

her garage went off.  She had lived there 28 years and it had never gone off

before. She couldn't turn it off so she call the security company that

installed it.

 

    The next morning the smoke alarm sounded again----and the reason finally

dawned on her...she said aloud "Ok dad, I missed the signal yesterday, but I

got it now! Thanks for letting me know you are safe on the other side. Now

turn the darn thing off so I don't have to call the security company again".

And it went off.

 

She immediately called her priest to tell him the good news. His response:

"Dear lady, if every time your father sends you a message, he sets off the

smoke alarm, just where do you think he's calling from?"

 

 

 

Mother Teresa  -

 

May we all have hearts overflowing with love as a reflection of God's love. God's love is what can save our families, our country, and the world.

 

Padre Pio - He who attaches himself to the earth remains attached to it. It is better to detach oneself little by little instead of all at once. Let us always think of Heaven.

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen - True tolerance extends love and patience

 

"There can be another form of tolerance which is right, such as one inspired by true charity or love of God. Even though the virtuous may hold absolutely to their philosophy of life, they do so, not because they look down on the views of others as not as good as their own, but because their own beliefs are so real to them that they would not have anyone else hold them with less reason, less love and less devotion."

 

 

St. Faustina's diary 

 

http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -Once, the Lord said to me, My daughter, take the graces that others spurn; take as many as you can carry. At that moment, my soul was inundated with the love of God. I feel that I am united with the Lord so closely that I cannot find words to express that union; in this state I suddenly feel that all the things God has, all the goods and treasures, are mine, although I set little store by them, for He alone is enough for me. In Him I see my everything; without Him-nothing.

 

I look for no happiness beyond my own interior where God dwells. I rejoice that God dwells within me; here I abide with Him unendingly; it is here that my greatest intimacy with Him exists; here I dwell with Him in safety; here is a place not probed by the human eye. The Blessed Virgin encourages me to commune with God in this way.       (454)

 

The day of the renewal of vows. At the beginning of Holy Mass, I saw Jesus in the usual way. He blessed us and then entered the tabernacle.

 

Then I saw the Mother of God in a white garment and blue mantle, with her head uncovered. She approached me from the altar, touched me with her hands and covered me with her mantle, saying, Offer these vows for Poland. Pray for her.      (468)

Dec 14 - LEARNING TO LOVE

 

During Advent of 1984 Our Lady gave the following message:

 

Dear children, you know that the day of joy is approaching but without love you will receive little. First, then, start loving your family and everyone in the parish; then you will be able to love and accept all those who come here. Let these seven days be a week of learning to love.

 

This Christmas will be unforgettable if you follow me. Disconnect your television sets and radios, and begin God's program: meditation, prayer, reading the Gospels. Prepare yourselves with faith; then, having understood love, your life will be filled with happiness (Weekly Message Dec 13, 1984).

 

Reflection:

 

The Blessed Virgin says, not surpassingly, that love is the whole context of Christmas, "the season of Joy", and it is prepared for simply by loving first or own family, and then our neighbor. "Learn to love", she urges us. But how? Today's reading from John's gospel is telling: "They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them."

 

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered him, "Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." (Jn 14:21-23).

 

How then "to learn to love"? Christ first speaks to us of keeping his commandments, of being fair and decent with all people. Second, his appeal to "love one another as I loved you" (Jn 15:12) means that Jesus' own life is our primary example for learning to live. Like him, loving means to help, to heal, to enlighten, and above all, to love even sacrificially, as his own life testifies.

 

The Gospels, then, which relate the life of Christ, are a canvas on which is painted the many hues and shades of his love. Our Lady asks that we carefully examine that portrait, and with her messages to help us, to live out her Son's love in our own lives.

 

Application:

 

Spend some time today reflecting on how you see Jesus loving in the Gospels. What were his actions of love? His words of love? How can I imitate his love in my own life? What action or word of love can I give to another today?

Mother Teresa  -

 

Every human being comes from the hand of God, and we all know something of God's love for us.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - It is by means of trials that God binds to Him the souls He loves.

 

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

"

Tolerance can take its toll

 

"Tolerance is not right when its basic principle is a denial of truth and goodness and when it asserts that it makes no difference whether murder is a blessing or a crime, or whether a child should be taught to steal or to respect the rights of others."

 

St. Faustina's diary 

http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -

Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God. From early morning, I felt the nearness of the Blessed Mother. During Holy Mass, I saw her, so lovely and so beautiful that I have no words to express even a small part of this beauty.

 

She was all [in] white, with a blue sash around her waist. Her cloak was also blue, and there was a crown on her head. Marvelous light streamed forth from Her whole figure. I am the Queen of heaven and earth, but especially the Mother of your [Congregation].

 

She pressed me to her heart and said, I feel constant compassion for you. I felt the force of her Immaculate Heart which was communicated to my soul. Now I understand why I have been preparing for this feast for two months and have been looking forward to it with such yearning.

 

 From today onwards, I am going to strive for the greatest purity of soul, that the rays of God's grace may be reflected in all their brilliance. I long to be a crystal in order to find favor in His eyes.       (805)

Dec 13 - PREPARE YOUR HEARTS

 

During Advent of 1986, the Blessed Virgin spoke of purifying our hearts:

 

Dear children, today I invite you to prepare your hearts, for in these days the Lord wants above all to purify you from all the sins of your past. You cannot do it alone, dear children, and for that reason I am here to help you.

 

Pray, dear children, for this is the only way in which you can know all the evil that dwells in you, and can then abandon it to the Lord.

 

Then he can purify your hearts completely. So, dear children, pray constantly and prepare your hearts through penance and fasting (Weekly Message Dec 4, 1986).

 

The Gospa's message of purification and repentance is echoed in the Book of Daniel:

 

I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, "O Lord, great and awesome God, keeping covenant and steadfast love with those who love you and keep your commandments and ordinances" (Dn 9:4-5).

 

Reflection:

 

Both of our readings today speak of sin and repentance, appropriate topics for Advent, when we seek to prepare ourselves in a special way for the birth of Christ. However, Our Lady makes a distinction between what we can do and what we cannot.

 

It is our responsibility to prepare our hearts for purification through prayer, fasting, and penance; but it is in the work of Christ to actually purify the hearts that have opened to him.

 

The process is similar to the sacrament of penance; we are the ones who acknowledge our sins, express sorrow and atone for them through penance. However, Jesus Christ is the one who actually forgives the sins.

 

We can only dispose ourselves to receive his gift. As we prepare our hearts for God's purification, we can be assured of the help of Our Lady, who promises to do just that in today's message.

 

Application:

 

Simply put into practice the Madonna's message today on how to prepare your heart for Christ's purifying touch.

 

Mark Mallett Two More Days

 

http://www.markmallett.com/blog/?p=537#more-537

 

THE DAY OF THE LORD — PART II

 

AS we draw closer to the "Day of the Lord," I want to further explain what this means. This can be considered a supplement to A Heavenly Map.

 

NOT LITERAL

 

The phrase "day of the Lord" should not be understood as a literal "day" in length. Rather,

 

With the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day. (2 Pt 3:8)

 

The tradition of the Church Fathers is that there are "two more days" remaining for humanity; one within the boundaries of time and history, the other, an everlasting and eternal day. The next day, or "seventh day" is the one I have been referring to in these writings as an "Era of Peace."

 

SEVENTH DAY

 

The Fathers called this age of peace the "seventh day," a period in which the righteous are granted a period of "rest" which still remains for the people of God (see Heb 4:9).

 

…we understand that a period of one thousand years is indicated in symbolic language… A man among us named John, one of Christ’s Apostles, received and foretold that the followers of Christ would dwell in Jerusalem for a thousand years, and that afterwards the universal and, in short, everlasting resurrection and judgment would take place. —St. Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, The Fathers of the Church, Christian Heritage

 

This is a period preceded by a time of great travail on earth.

 

Scripture says: ‘And God rested upon the seventh day from all His works’… And in six days created things were completed; it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year…

 

But when The Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from Heaven in the clouds… sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire; but bringing in for the righteous the times of the kingdom, that is, the rest, the hallowed seventh day…

 

These are to take place in the times of the kingdom, that is, upon the seventh day… the true Sabbath of the righteous.  —St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Church Father (140–202 A.D.); Adversus Haereses, Irenaeus of Lyons, V.33.3.4, The Fathers of the Church, CIMA Publishing Co.;

 

 (St. Irenaeus was a student of St. Polycarp, who knew and learned from the Apostle John and was later consecrated bishop of Smyrna by John.)

 

Like a solar day, the Day of the Lord is comprised of a dawn, a midday, and an evening.

 

MIDNIGHT

 

Just as night and dawn intermingle in nature, so too does the Day of the Lord begin in darkness, just as each day begins at midnight. Or, a more liturgical understanding is that the vigil of the Day of the Lord begins in twilight.

 

The darkest part of the night is the times of Antichrist which precede the "thousand year" reign.

 

Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition. (2 Thess 2:3)

 

‘And He rested on the seventh day.’ This means: when His Son will come and destroy the time of the lawless one and judge the godless, and change the sun and the moon and the stars—then He shall indeed rest on the Seventh day… —Letter of Barnabas, written by a second century Apostolic Father

 

The Letter of Barnabas points toward a judgment of the living before the Era of Peace, the Seventh Day.  That tribulation involves cosmic upheaval as well, which as I’ve written, may be the Breaking of the Seals in Revelation.

 

But the new heavens and new earth do not come until the end of time, when Jesus returns in glory, after the Era of Peace.

 

DAWN

 

Just as we see signs emerging today which signal the possibility of a global totalitarian state hostile to Christianity, so too do we also see the "first streaks of dawn" beginning to glow in that remnant of the Church, shining with the light of the Morning Star.

 

The Antichrist, operating through and identified with "the beast and the false prophet," will be destroyed by the coming of Christ who will purge wickedness from the earth, and establish a global reign of peace and justice.

 

It is not a coming of Christ in the flesh, nor is it His Final Coming in glory, but an intervention of the power of the Lord to establish justice and extend the Gospel over the whole earth.

 

He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Justice shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.

 

Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid… There shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD, as water covers the sea…

 

On that day, The Lord shall again take it in hand to reclaim the remnant of his people (Isaiah 11:4-11.)

 

As the Letter of Barnabas (an early writing of a Church Father) indicates, it is a "judgment of the living," of the godless. Jesus will come like a thief in the night, while the world, following after the spirit of Antichrist, will be oblivious to His sudden appearance.

 

For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night.…as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. (1 Thess 5:2; Luke 17:28)

 

Lo, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me; and suddenly there will come to the temple the LORD whom you seek, and the messenger of the covenant whom you desire. Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. But who will endure the day of his coming? (Mal 3:1-2)

 

The Blessed Virgin Mary in many ways is the chief messenger of our times—the "morning star"—preceding the Lord, the Sun of Justice. She is a new Elijah preparing the way for the global reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Eucharist. Note Malachi’s last words:

 

Lo, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, before the day of the LORD comes, the great and terrible day. (Mal 3:24)

 

It is worth noting that on June 24th, the Feast of John the Baptist, the alleged apparitions of Medjugorje began. Jesus referred to John the Baptist as Elijah (see Matt 17:9-13).

 

MIDDAY

 

Midday is when the sun is brightest and all things glow and bask in the warmth of its light. This is the period during which the saints, both those who survive the preceding tribulation and those who experience the "First Resurrection", will reign with Christ in His Sacramental presence.

 

Then the kingship and dominion and majesty of all the kingdoms under the heavens shall be given to the holy people of the Most High… (Dan 7:27)

 

Then I saw thrones; those who sat on them were entrusted with judgment. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image nor had accepted its mark on their foreheads or hands.

 

They came to life and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection.

 

 The second death has no power over these; they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for (the) thousand years. (Rev 20:4-6)

 

That will be the time prophesied by the prophets (which we are hearing in the readings of Advent) in which the Church will be centered in Jerusalem, and the Gospel will subdue all the nations.

 

For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord form Jerusalem… On that day, The branch of the LORD will be luster and glory, and the fruit of the earth will be honor and splendor for the survivors of Israel. He who remains in Zion and he that is left in Jerusalem will be called holy: every one marked down for life in Jerusalem. (Is 2:2; 4:2-3)

 

EVENING

 

As Pope Benedict wrote in his recent encyclical, free will remains until the conclusion of human history:

 

Since man always remains free and since his freedom is always fragile, the kingdom of good will never be definitively established in this world.  —Spe Salvi, Encyclical Letter of POPE BENEDICT XVI, n. 24b

 

That is, the fullness of the Kingdom of God and perfection will not be achieved until we are in Heaven:

 

At the end of time, the Kingdom of God will come in its fullness… The Church… will receive her perfection only in the glory of heaven. —Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1042

 

The Seventh Day will reach its twilight when the radical freedom of human will chooses evil one last time through the temptation of Satan and a "final antichrist," Gog and Magog. Why there is this final upheaval lies within the mysterious plans of the Divine Will.

 

When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. (Rev 20:7-8)

 

Scripture tells us that this final Antichrist does not succeed. Rather, fire falls from heaven and consumes the enemies of God, while the Devil is cast into the pool of fire and sulphur "where the beast and the false prophet were" (Rev 20:9-10).  Just as the Seventh Day began in darkness, so too does the final and everlasting Day.

 

THE EIGHTH DAY

 

The Sun of Justice appears in the flesh in His final glorious coming to judge the dead and inaugurate the dawn of the "eighth" and everlasting day.

 

The resurrection of all the dead, "of both the just and the unjust," will precede the Last Judgment. —CCC, 1038

 

The Fathers refer to this day as the "Eighth Day," the "Great Feast of Tabernacles" (with "tabernacles" implying our resurrected bodies…) —Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi, The Triumph of God’s Kingdom in The New Millennium and End Times; p. 138

 

Next I saw a large white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the sky fled from his presence and there was no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the lowly, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. Then another scroll was opened, the book of life.

 

The dead were judged according to their deeds, by what was written in the scrolls. The sea gave up its dead; then Death and Hades gave up their dead. All the dead were judged according to their deeds. (Rev 20:11-14)

 

After the Final Judgment, the Day bursts into an everlasting brightness, a day which never ends:

 

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband…

 

The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb… During the day its gates will never be shut, and there will be no night there. (Rev 21:1-2, 23-25)

 

This Eighth Day is already anticipated in the celebration of the Eucharist—an everlasting "communion" with God:

 

The Church celebrates the day of Christ’s Resurrection on the "eighth day," Sunday, which is rightly called the Lord’s Day… the day of Christ’s Resurrection recalls the first creation. Because it is the "eighth day" following the sabbath, it symbolizes the new creation ushered in by Christ’s Resurrection… for us a new day has dawned: the day of Christ’s Resurrection.

 

The seventh day completes the first creation. The eighth day begins the new creation. Thus, the work of creation culminates in the greater work of redemption. The first creation finds its meaning and its summit in the new creation in Christ, the splendor of which surpasses that of the first creation. —Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2191; 2174; 349

 

 

WHAT TIME IS IT?

 

What time is it?  The dark night of the purification of the Church seems inevitable. And yet, the Morning Star has arisen signaling the coming dawn.

 

How long? How long before the Sun of Justice rises to bring about an Era of peace?

 

Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?" The watchman says: "Morning comes, and also the night…" (Isa 21:11-12)

 

But the Light will prevail.

Mark Mallett The Woman About To Give Birth

 

http://www.markmallett.com/blog/?p=565#more-565

 

Mark Mallett

—Spiritual Food For Thought— The Woman About To Give Birth

 

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

 

POPE John Paul II called her the Star of the New Evangelization. Indeed, Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Morning Star of the New Evangelization which precedes the Day of the Lord.

 

A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. (Rev 12:1-2)

 

I hear the words,

 

There is coming a powerful release of the Holy Spirit.

 

The Holy Spirit is the agent of evangelization.  And so, she is praying for this coming. She is laboring for it. She is crying for it—a release of the Holy Spirit from Heaven to illuminate the hearts and minds of every soul on earth.

 

It is coming! It is coming soon!

 

But why then is Mary crying? She is crying because, when the Spirit comes, she needs her remnant, the heel which she is forming, to be ready to gather souls into the Ark of her heart, those who have been released from the clutches of Satan.

 

We need to be ready to slay the serpent with the Word of God dwelling within. Because, as I have written elsewhere, the false prophets of Satan who themselves refuse the grace of "the warning," will gather their strength again to steal these sheep away, aligning themselves with the Dragon.

 

So she needs our help; she needs our hearts to be open to the formation of her Son within us. This is her great work. Just as the Holy Spirit and Mary formed Jesus together within her womb, she is laboring with the Spirit to form Jesus in us.

 

She needs us to be docile to this work so that we will be prepared to be the voice of truth after the great confusion which will result from the Illumination.

 

 Jesus is the Word of God, which is the Sword that will pierce the hearts of souls with Truth and set them free. If this Sword is not formed in us, then we cannot be used to defeat the serpent.

 

Listen to what the Holy Father said:

 

I see the dawning of a new missionary age, which will become a radiant day bearing an abundant harvest, if all Christians, and missionaries and young churches in particular, respond with generosity and holiness to the calls and challenges of our time. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, December 7, 1990: Encyclical, Redemptoris Missio "The Mission of Christ the Redeemer" (emphasis on "if" is mine)

 

"If"—that is the key word in this text: if we respond.

 

ARE WE RESPONDING?

 

In a recent alleged apparition to visionary Mirjana of Medjugorje, the seer said, "Our Lady was very sad. All the time her eyes were filled with tears. She gave the message:"

 

Dear children! Today, while I am looking at your hearts, my heart is filled with pain and trepidation. My children, stop for a moment and look into your hearts. Is my Son, your God, truly in the first place?

 

Are His commandments truly the measure of your life? I am warning you again: without faith there is neither nearness of God nor the word of God which is the light of salvation and the light of common sense.

 

Mirjana added: "I painfully asked Our Lady not to leave us and not to take her hands away from us. She painfully smiled at my request and left. This time Our Lady did not say: ‘Thank you.‘" (Usually she says "Thank you for having responded to my call.")

 

Listen carefully to what Our Mother is saying here: without faith, the Word of God is not dwelling within us, and therefore, the light of common sense, the light of truth and salvation to help those, now, and after the Illumination will not be there. And that means many souls could be lost forever to the deceptions of Satan.

 

AM I NOT YOUR MOTHER?

 

Yesterday, I was plagued all day with great doubts about my apostolate. Fr. Paul Gousse, who is hosting me for a parish mission in New Hampshire, prayed with me before the Blessed Sacrament. Immediately, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe came to his mind, and these words:

 

Virgin, most powerful.

 

and the words she spoke to St. Juan Diego:

 

Am I not your mother?

 

I was faced with a choice. Either I am going to trust in Jesus and Mary, or continue to question whether God is really in control. I believe many of us are in tremendous trials right now.

 

But either we trust in God, trust that He is Lord of all, or we don’t. Either we trust that Mary our Mother is full of grace, and as such, most powerful, or we don’t.

 

And often, we don’t believe that Our Mother is going to help us. And so, we make her cry—for us, and those whom we can’t reach because we have no faith.

 

DO NOT DOUBT

 

"There are two kinds of questioning," Fr. Paul went on to say to me. "That of Mary and that of Zechariah."

 

Both of them were troubled when the Angel Gabriel appeared. But when the angel told Zechariah that his wife would bear a son (John the Baptist), he said, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years."

 

Zechariah doubted, and therefore, was made speechless and unable to talk.

 

Mary, on the other hand, when faced with the seeming impossibility of bearing God, said, "How can this be since I have no husband?" She did not doubt, she just wondered in what manner God would do this.

 

The point is, if we doubt like Zechariah, then our hearts will be "without faith… nor the word of God which is the light of salvation and the light of common sense." We will be unable to give because we do not possess.

 

And so, I asked forgiveness for my doubt, and made an act of faith that I would trust Jesus and Mary. And I was suddenly filled with a great peace and boldness.

 

It is never too late, until it’s too late. And it’s not too late. Put faith in Christ! And trust your Mother.

 

There is much work for us to do, very, very soon.

 

[a] new springtime of Christian life… will be revealed by the Great Jubilee, if Christians are docile to the action of the Holy Spirit. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, Tertio Millennio Adveniente, n. 18

Mark Mallett Of Fear of Chastisements

 

Mark Mallett

—Spiritual Food For Thought— Of Fear of Chastisements

 

I receive letters from time to time from readers who are very upset about the possibility of chastisements coming to the earth.

 

 One gentleman recently commented that his girlfriend thought they shouldn’t marry because of the possibility of having a child during coming tribulations.

 

The answer to this is one word: faith.

 

 

THE SORROW OF KNOWING

 

THE visionaries of Medjugorje have been given knowledge of coming chastisements known as part of the "secrets" that have been allegedly disclosed by the Blessed Mother.

 

They have admitted in interviews that they are deeply troubled by them. But not for their own sakes.

 

Taken from an interview with the seer Mirjana Dragicevic:

 

The Blessed Mother comes to me now when I especially need her. And it is always concerning the secrets. Sometimes I hardly can stand the pressure of knowing them. During those moments the Blessed Mother comforts me and encourages me.

 

(Interviewer) Are they that awful?

 

Yes, it is so hard for me. But as bad as they are, at the same time she told me we should not be afraid. God is our Father, Mary is our Mother.

 

Then why are you so upset now, that the Blessed Mother must come to comfort and encourage you?

 

Because there are many who do not believe… I feel such sorrow for them that I can hardly bear it! My suffering is so great for them that I really must have the Blessed Mother’s help to survive.

 

Your suffering is really compassion for unbelievers?

 

Yes. They do not realize what awaits them!

 

How does the Blessed Mother console you?

 

She and I pray together for those who do not believe. —excerpt from Queen of the Cosmos—Interviews with the Visionaries of Medjugorje, by Jan Connell; p. 31-32; Paraclete Press

 

When the visionaries were asked if they were afraid of the secrets, they all answered "No." But like Mirjana, they suffer immensely for unrepentant souls.

 

The point is this: if you are in the Ark of Mary’s Immaculate Heart, you have nothing to fear, just as Noah had nothing to fear of the coming storm!

 

But this is also not a place of passivity! Rather, Mary is asking us—begging us—to pray and fast for these souls for whom her own heart is pierced with a sword.

 

FAITH

 

So let us refuse to give a voice to the serpent of fear whispering in our ears, and instead, use our energy to pray for and love those who have closed their hearts to God. Jesus said that faith can move mountains.

 

 Prayer is faith in action. So let us move the mountains of disbelief that overshadow so many hearts by beginning to fast and pray with renewed fervor.

 

I hear again the words of our Mother to St. Juan Diego:

 

Am I not your mother?

 

and

 

Let nothing trouble or afflict you.

 

Throw yourself into her arms, and trust once and for all that Jesus and Mary are going to care for you during those tribulations, should they arrive in your lifetime (apparently, Mirjana will be a witness to these events within her lifetime.)

 

Worse case scenario? You die and go to heaven. But that could happen tonight in your sleep. Be prepared to meet Jesus any moment. Never worry.

 

There was a saint who also spoke of coming chastisements after a time of grace on the earth. But neither did she say we should be afraid. Rather, St. Faustina made it her mission to teach us a simple prayer of faith:  Jesus, I trust in you.

 

Jesus, I trust in you!

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 13 - PREPARE YOUR HEARTS "Guadalupe itself is now a world famous shrine visited by some 20 million pilgrims a year.  The miraculous image, displayed above the high altar of the basilica, appears to look down adoringly on the tabernacled Lord below.  The adjoining Adoration Chapel attracts large numbers, including many adorers making the Holy Hour . . . .  The grace of the Lord's sacramental presence reaches far and wide."  (Mary and The Eucharist, Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.) Mother Teresa  - Every human being comes from the hand of God, and we all know something of God's love for us.   Meditations by Padre Pio - It is by means of trials that God binds to Him the souls He loves. Archbishop Fulton Sheen - " Tolerance can take its toll "Tolerance is not right when its basic principle is a denial of truth and goodness and when it asserts that it makes no difference whether murder is a blessing or a crime, or whether a child should be taught to steal or to respect the rights of others."  St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God. From early morning, I felt the nearness of the Blessed Mother. During Holy Mass, I saw her, so lovely and so beautiful that I have no words to express even a small part of this beauty. She was all [in] white, with a blue sash around her waist. Her cloak was also blue, and there was a crown on her head. Marvelous light streamed forth from Her whole figure. I am the Queen of heaven and earth, but especially the Mother of your [Congregation]. She pressed me to her heart and said, I feel constant compassion for you. I felt the force of her Immaculate Heart which was communicated to my soul. Now I understand why I have been preparing for this feast for two months and have been looking forward to it with such yearning. From today onwards, I am going to strive for the greatest purity of soul, that the rays of God's grace may be reflected in all their brilliance. I long to be a crystal in order to find favor in His eyes.       (805)    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.  -  Dec 13 - PREPARE YOUR HEARTS During Advent of 1986, the Blessed Virgin spoke of purifying our hearts: Dear children, today I invite you to prepare your hearts, for in these days the Lord wants above all to purify you from all the sins of your past. You cannot do it alone, dear children, and for that reason I am here to help you. Pray, dear children, for this is the only way in which you can know all the evil that dwells in you, and can then abandon it to the Lord. Then he can purify your hearts completely. So, dear children, pray constantly and prepare your hearts through penance and fasting (Weekly Message Dec 4, 1986). The Gospa's message of purification and repentance is echoed in the Book of Daniel: I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, "O Lord, great and awesome God, keeping covenant and steadfast love with those who love you and keep your commandments and ordinances" (Dn 9:4-5). Reflection: Both of our readings today speak of sin and repentance, appropriate topics for Advent, when we seek to prepare ourselves in a special way for the birth of Christ. However, Our Lady makes a distinction between what we can do and what we cannot. It is our responsibility to prepare our hearts for purification through prayer, fasting, and penance; but it is in the work of Christ to actually purify the hearts that have opened to him. The process is similar to the sacrament of penance; we are the ones who acknowledge our sins, express sorrow and atone for them through penance. However, Jesus Christ is the one who actually forgives the sins. We can only dispose ourselves to receive his gift. As we prepare our hearts for God's purification, we can be assured of the help of Our Lady, who promises to do just that in today's message. Application:  Simply put into practice the Madonna's message today on how to prepare your heart for Christ's purifying touch.  Message From Mother Mary Thru Lec - December 12, 2007  December 12, 2007 6:30 AM Message From Mother Mary  Son, spread the Good News that more people will hear of God's merciful offer of salvation.  Speak on what God has done in your life.  Let people know that the God of the universe has the time to look after his beloved children wherever they may be, irrespective of race, creed and nationality.  Proclaim God as the merciful Father, my Son as the Savior and the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. God's peace shall descend on those whose hearts are firmly entrenced in His loving will and care.Nothing shall perturb their innermost being even if the world is beset with turmoil after turmoil.  They will feel God's presence which in itself is the profound source of joy and well being for nothing in the world can go against a person if God is with that person.  Message reception Ended :  6:40 AM Duration :  10 minutes  Mother of Perpetual Light 12-11-07  Mother of Perpetual Light  The Words of these messages are being received in poetic verse allegedly from the Blessed Mother under the title "The Mother of Perpetual Light".  On a number of occasions alleged messages were also received from the Eucharistic Jesus starting with the words "I Am The Bread, I Am The Wine", also in poetic verse. For many more messages and information go to www.jesusmaryjoseph.org Only 2007 and Special Needed messages are posted here.  All messages are posted daily at the web site. We now have three complete books of messages.You may download the complete books from the web site See the archives for more information  THE TIME IS AT HAND WORLDWIDE EVENTS WILL BE SOON ESCALATING;EACH ONE, THAN THE LAST, WILL BE MORE DEVASTATING.BECAUSE OF THE LIFESTYLE MAN CONTINUES IN LEADING,GOD’S MERCY WILL NOT BE FOR THEM INTERCEDING. THE LAND GOD CREATED FOR MANKIND TO DWELLHAS BECOME NOW, DEAR CHILDREN, A REFLECTION OF HELL.IF YOU CONTINUE, DEAR CHILDREN, WHAT GOD GAVE TO ABUSE,HOW WILL YOU RESPOND WHEN YOUR LIFE HE REVIEWS? IN ORDER, DEAR CHILDREN, TO SURVIVE THE NEXT STORM,THE TIME IS AT HAND NOW YOUR LIFE TO REFORM.IF YOU CONTINUE, DEAR CHILDREN, MY WORDS TO IGNORE,THE ANGELS WILL NOT COME TO KNOCK AT YOUR DOOR. IF YOU ALLOW NOT, DEAR CHILDREN, GOD YOUR FUTURE TO GUIDE,WHO WILL, MY DEAR CHILDREN, BE THEN AT YOUR SIDE?USE THIS TIME WISELY, PRAY AND REPENTSO THAT YOUR SOUL MAY SURVIVE WHAT NOW IS IMMINENT. I CAN STILL SEE, DEAR CHILDREN, A GLIMMER OF LIGHTAMONG THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO BATTLE THIS FIGHT.THOSE WHO CARRY THEIR CROSSES AND CONTINUE TO PRAYWILL BE GUIDED BY ANGELS TOWARDS NEW EDEN’S PATHWAY. “THY WILL BE DONE”12-11-2007 (12-6-2007 Adoration Notes The recipient was shown a dome like structure.  It was dark inside the domeand outside.  There were angels at a distance outside the dome.  They were gatheringpeople that were carrying crosses and bringing them towards the dome.  When an angel brought the firstperson inside the dome,a light appeared as if a light bulb had been turned on.  As more and morepeople were brought into thedome by the angels, it became brighter and brighter inside.  When the lastperson was brought in, everyone present was immersed in light, and healings began to take place. The deaf heard; the blind saw; the lame walked, and other kinds of healingstook place. The people that were left outside didn't have an angel to guide them intothe dome. Instead of crosses they were carrying bags of gold and jewelry.)  Message #3029 to Little Mary - October 25, 2007 The world is in need of a wake up call"  MESSAGE #3029 from the Blessed Mother October 25, 2007 My daughter, The world is in need of a wake up call.

Messages from Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother to Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucette, Given December 5, 7, 8, 9th, 2007

 

Las Vegas Novena For World Peace/Retreat with Art, Patsy Soto and His Teachings Ministry

 

1. Jesus spoke to me saying, Melvin, My brother, I love you. I called you to Las Vegas to take part in the Novena for World Peace. I am blessing every person who takes part in this Novena and they will receive a special gift from Me. I wish to show you that I love you all with all My Heart.

 

2. During a time of contemplative prayer with the group, Jesus spoke to me saying, My Heart is full of joy that you all come to Me in prayer. You wish to have a deep personal relationship with Me and you have to practice this prayer

every day for our relationship to grow.

 

I give you all the gift of contemplative prayer and I call you all to come to Me in contemplative prayer every day. If you do, I will shower you with My graces. I love you all, My dear brothers and sisters.

 

3. On December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Blessed Mother, Our Mother spoke to me saying, Many millions of My children throughout the world are celebrating this great feast of mine with great devotion. You who are taking part in the Novena for World Peace, are also filled with joy as you celebrate My Feast.

 

You delight My Heart with your great devotion and I embrace you all for you are My dear children. I call on all of you to pray the rosary every day and you will bring great joy to your Mother.

 

Remain close to Me and I will bring you all to My Son Jesus, Your Savior and Lord. I love you, My sons and daughters, and I intercede for you always.

 

4. On December 9th, the 2nd Sunday of Advent, Jesus spoke to me saying, Melvin, My brother, I love you. I am bringing you now to My tomb in Jerusalem, which you visited many times when you lived there for three months.

 

 Look at the slab on the floor of the tomb and realize that My Body was placed there after it was taken down from the cross. My Body laid there Friday, all day Saturday until early Sunday morning. Early on that Sunday morning, My resurrection took place.

 

My Body was changed into a Glorious Body and I was totally alive never to die again. Every Sunday you celebrate this Glorious Resurrection of mine. My Resurrection placed an very important role for the Apostles and for the

establishment of My Church on earth.

 

If I had not been raised from the dead, the Apostles would have lost their faith in Me and the Church would not have been born. It is important that you keep My Resurrection as one of the greatest events of My Life.

 

I ask you all to work together with Me to bring at least one person a year to Me so that person can become a member of My Church. Speak to people about My Resurrection and that I am alive and calling them all to come to Me. I want the salvation of every person in the world and I need your

cooperation. I love you all.

 

5. On December 10th, Our Lord spoke this message: Melvin, My brother, I love you. I bless you again together with all those who are continuing the Novena for World Peace. You do not know the people who are touched by these prayers and let Me tell you that there are many who receive graces because of this Novena.

 

Let everyone know that prayer is essential for those who believe in Me. As food is essential for the health of your body, prayer is absolutely necessary for the health of your spiritual life.

 

I especially call you to contemplative prayer, the prayer of My Heart. Ask and I will give you the gift of this prayer. Through this prayer I will become number one in your heart. You will have a loving relationship with Me and you will live in My Heart and I will live in yours.

 

Come, My friends, and spend time with Me every day. I bless you all.

 

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 12 - OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

 

St. Juan Diego, Visionary of Guadalupe, Mexico (1474-1548) December 9 "A peasant named Juan Diego saw before him, on the rugged slopes of Tepeyac hill, the Virgin Mary bathed in supernatural radiance.  `I ardently desire'' she said, `that a church be built here.'

 

Right from the start, then, God's mother indicated the Eucharistic orientation of her mission.  Very significantly, too, Juan Diego was at the time making his way to Mass" (Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).

 

Mother Teresa - 

 

Let's not live distracted lives. Let us know ourselves so that we can better understand our brothers and sisters. If we want to understand those with whom we live, we need to understand ourselves first of all.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

To doubt is the greatest insult to the Divinity.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Treat your arguers with love

 

"The attitude to take toward those who differ with us. The answer is charity, love, benevolence and a recognition of the sincerity of motives and honesty of purposes of others. Sometimes this is called tolerance, but tolerance can be bad as well as good."

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -August 5, 1935. The Feast of Our Lady of Mercy. I prepared for this feast with greater zeal than in previous years. On the morning of the feast itself, I experienced an inner struggle at the thought that I must leave this Congregation which enjoys such special protection from Mary.

 

 This struggle lasted through the meditation and through the first Mass as well. During the second Mass, I turned to our Holy Mother, telling Her that it was difficult for me to separate myself from this Congregation... "which is under Your special protection, O Mary." Then I saw the Blessed Virgin, unspeakably beautiful.

 

She came down from the altar to my kneeler, held me close to herself and said to me, I am Mother to you all, thanks to the unfathomable mercy of God. Most pleasing to me is that soul which faithfully carries out the will of God.

 

She gave me to understand that I had faithfully fulfilled the will of God and had thus found favor in His eyes. Be courageous. Do not fear apparent obstacles, but fix your gaze upon the Passion of My Son, and in this way you will be victorious.      (449)

Quote of the Day When shall it be that we shall taste the sweetness of the Divine Will in all that happens to us, considering in everything only His good pleasure, by whom it is certain that adversity is sent with as much love as prosperity, and as much for our good?

 

When shall we cast ourselves undeservedly into the arms of our most loving Father in Heaven, leaving to Him the care of ourselves and of our affairs, and reserving only the desire of pleasing Him, and of serving Him well in all that we can? -St. Jane Frances de Chantal Today in History

Intention of the Day Please pray, through Our Lady of Guadalupe patroness of the Americas, for all for all people living in the Americas.

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Dec 12 - OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

 

On this feast of Our Lady of Guadeloupe, patroness of the Americas, it is fitting that we reflect on a message that was actually given in America, to Marija, in January of 1989:

 

Dear Children, today I am calling you to the way of holiness. Pray that you may comprehend the beauty and the greatness of this way. Pray that you may be open to everything that God is doing through each one of you. I give you my blessing (Monthly Message Jan. 25, 1989).

 

St. Paul takes up the theme of holiness as well in his letter to the Thessalonians:

 

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from fornication; that each one of you know how to control you own body in holiness and honor, not lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one wrong or exploit a brother or sister in this matter, because the Lord's an avenger in all these things, just as we have already told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.

 

For God did not call you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness (1 Thes 4:3-7).

 

Reflection:

 

Today Our lady strikes a familiar theme, that of holiness, or godliness. She calls us to "the way of holiness", and advises us to pray "so that [we] may comprehend the beauty and the greatness of this way", which is, of course, the living of her messages, the living of the gospel.

 

"It is God's will", St. Paul writes today, "that you grow in holiness: that you abstain from immorality, each of you guarding himself in sanctity and honor."

 

Holiness, then , is attainable; it truly God's will for us, and it is the fruit of deep faith. As we see in Guadeloupe's visionary, Juan Diego, holiness is often the great virtue of the humble and the poor.

 

On this feast day, let us pray that Our Lady of the Americas will guide us down this path, and that we might take to heart the advice of St. Paul:" Strive for peace with all men, and for that holiness without which no one can see the Lord" (Heb 12:14).

 

Application:

 

Holiness is not understood so much in reading about it as in actually seeing it in another person. Today call to mind a person you feel to be holy. What qualities do you admire in him or her? Which can you imitate?

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 11 - CONFESSION SHOULD INVIGORATE YOUR FAITH

 

"Virgin Immaculate! In this year of the Eucharist help us to celebrate and adore with renewed faith and ardent love the holy mystery  of the Body and Blood of Christ" (Pope John Paul II, December 8, 2004).

 

Mother Teresa - 

 

Life is the greatest gift that God has bestowed on mankind.

Since man is created in the image of God, it belongs to Him.

We have no right to destroy it.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - Fear is an evil worse than evil itself.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Seek and find the Truth and continue to seek

 

"Over 1,500 years ago St. Augustine said `Sic ergo quaeramus tanquam inventuri, et sic inveniamus tanquam quaesituri.' `Seek the truth as one about to find it, and find it with the intention of always seeking it.' Those who already have a philosophy are not to rest in idle adherence, but to keep on studying to deepen the knowledge one has, or else to discover that what he thought were profound truths were mere emotional adhesions or inherited prejudices without foundation either in history or in reason."

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  - Mother of God, your soul was plunged into a sea of bitterness; look upon your child and teach her to suffer and to love while suffering. Fortify my soul that pain will not break it. Mother of grace, teach me to live by [the power of] God.       (315)

 

Once, the confessor told me to pray for his intention, and I began a novena to the Mother of God. This novena consisted in the prayer, "Hail, Holy Queen," recited nine times.

 

 Toward the end of the novena I saw the Mother of God with the Infant Jesus in Her arms, and I also saw my confessor kneeling at her feet and talking with her. I did not understand what he was saying to her, because I was busy talking with the Infant Jesus, who came down from His Mother's arms and approached me.

 

I could not stop wondering at His beauty. I heard a few of the words that the Mother of God spoke to him [i.e., my confessor] but not everything. The words were: I am not only the Queen of Heaven, but also the Mother of Mercy and your Mother. And at that moment she stretched out her right hand, in which she was clasping her mantle, and she covered the priest with it. At that moment, the vision vanished.       (330)

 

Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html -

 

Quote of the Day He who walking on the sea could calm the bitter waves, who gives life to the dying seeds of the earth; he who was able to loose the mortal chains of death, and after three days' darkness could bring again to the upper world the brother for his sister Martha: he, I believe, will make Damascus rise again from the dust. -St. Damasus (from an epitaph written for himself)

 

During the Middle Ages, the spirit of Advent was very similar to the penitential spirit of Lent. The season was used as a period of fasting and penance. As the season developed, it came to have a greater focus on joyful expectation for the coming of Christ.

 

Intention of the Day Please pray for all the poor souls of purgatory. 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.

 

Dec 11 - CONFESSION SHOULD INVIGORATE YOUR FAITH

 

Part of our Advent preparation includes the sacrament of penance, of which Mary speaks today :

 

Do not go to confession only through habit, to remain the same afterwards. No, that is not good. Confession should refresh you and bring you closer to Jesus. If confession does not mean anything to you, truly, you will be converted with great difficulty (Locutionists Jelena & Marijana November 7, 1983).

 

Psalm 32 also speaks of the confession of sins and the freedom it produces :

 

Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not hide my iniquity;

 

I said, " I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, " and you forgave the guilt of my sin. You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.

 

Psalm 32 :5, 7

 

Reflection :

 

 To confess our sins before the Lord always brings forth his compassion and mercy, for he desires to forgive sinners. Forgiveness has always been part of his divine nature. He revealed it to David (our psalm today), and he dramatically showed it to the world through Jesus Christ.

 

And so Our Lady urges us to seek forgiveness through the sacrament of penance, for it is the gateway to inner peace, to freedom, and to a closer relationship with Christ.

 

Application :

 

Mark your calendar today for your Advent confession. Remember Our Lady's words, " Confession should give an impulse to your faith. It should stimulate you and bring you closer to Jesus. "

 

Your Cross - St Francis de Sales

 

 

The everlasting God has

 

in His wisdom foreseen

 

from eternity the cross

 

that He now presents to you

 

as a gift from His inmost heart.

 

This cross He now sends you

 

He has considered with His all-knowing eyes,

 

understood with His divine mind,

 

tested with His wise justice,

 

warmed with loving arms

 

and weighed with His own hands

 

to see that it be not one inch too large

 

and not one ounce too heavy for you.

 

He has blessed it with His holy Name,

 

anointed it with His consolation,

 

taken one last glance at you

 

and your courage,

 

and then sent it to you from heaven,

 

a special greeting from God to you,

 

an alms of the all-merciful love of God.

Message to J.N.S.R. Nov. 4, 2007

 

God is calling for World Repentance

 

November 4, 2007

 

JESUS:  Confusion will cease the day the sun will set.  That day, the Son of Justice will appear over the World, in order to erase forever all the Darkness obstructing both the sight and spirit of mankind.

 

And that obscurity is used as a tomb for all those who still refuse to believe in My Holy Resurrection.

 

I am coming to remove the stone from all tombs.

 

I come to awaken those men, those Priests, those spiritual guides who followed My Apostles to share My Bread of Life and give My Word of Truth. 

 

Where are My True Priests, those who will follow Me to the end?  As in the past, have they dispersed because of the terror inspired by My Holy Cross?

 

            Only the rebels, those who made fun of Me, sword in hand, those were in place of My friends among those forming this political upheaval.  In Prayer, near My Cross, were My Holy Mother with the Holy Women and My John: My true family.

 

            Today, I ask you again:  "What are you afraid of?  The Justice of men or the Justice of God?"

 

            The Justice of God, in Reparation for the offence to God by the Original Sin, made of His Only Son the Expiatory Victim.  My Holy Cross became the Cross of the Worldwide Redemption and the Door of Heaven for all repentant sinners.

 

I am the Resurrection and the Life.

 

            And in Heaven, which is the Kingdom of God,  there are no dead people.  They are with Me, for I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. 

 

And I Am returning on the Earth, to awaken the dead:  those who ignore Me and run away from Me.  And this assembly, which I come to reunite, will be faithful to Me.  The Day of God shall be for everyone.

 

            Be prepared and remember that the delay of My Holy Return is caused by the Mountain of your Disobedience to God.  Also, altogether, demolish that monumental obstacle, before all the elements, in their fury, finish off all countries and their inhabitants, for behold, volcanoes are awakening, and the Master of Evil, until the end of his reign, will not cease to make his curse against God and His children.

 

            The main disobedience of this century of misery has been the rejection of the Holy Word of God, given at Dozul to Madeleine, a humble servant of the Lord.

 

            " When this Cross is elevated on the Earth, I will draw all things to Me".  "In truth, the Glorious Cross is the Risen JESUS".

 

            All by itself, it has the Power to exorcise the entire World.

 

            And the Church has refused it:  you are in the Darkness for you have chosen the Darkness. You are like children playing in the sand on the beach. 

 

Their castle will resist until the tide comes.  And like them, you think yourselves stronger than all the elements.

 

JNSR:  Thus this was announced to you by

 JESUS Himself:

 

All Saints Day, Friday, November 1st, 1974,

 

 during the 8 o'clock Mass in the church of Dozul�:

 

 " At the moment when the Priest raises the Monstrance

 

 to bless the people, a halo of light appears around the

 

Blessed Sacrament and the Host becomes sparkling rays".

 

            "Tell the Nations that God has spoken through the mouth of His servant.  He revealed to her that the great tribulation is near, for she has seen the Sign of the son of Man starting from the Orient and is immediately in the Occident. 

 

That Sign of the Son of Man is the Lord's Cross.  The time has come for the World to repent.

 

            After those days of distress, there will appear in the sky the Son of Man Himself, with great majesty and power, to gather all the elect from the four corners of the Earth.  Happy will be the repentants for they will have Eternal Life.  In Truth I tell you, Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but My Words will never pass away".

 

JNSR:  Our Lord is asking all Peoples to understand that God's Justice, with His great Mercy is at our doors.

 

            Because of the Sin of Disobedience, Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden.  Ever since then, we have become in general, this People searching this Promised Land, the New Earth and New Heavens, bearing the Cross rejected by some and others. 

 

For we are all in solidarity.  JESUS paid the price for all, and disobedience keeps covering the World.

 

            Because of fear, because of doubt, one sole man of the Church said NO to the Word of JESUS in Dozul� and EVERYONE followed.  Now we are paying.  The whole human family is jointly responsible. 

 

But, JESUS of Nazareth wishes to redeem us today, facing this mountain of disobedience elevated by all of us: by those who said no and those who said nothing, for saying nothing is consenting to the refusal.

 

            That Cross has not been elevated.  How can anyone say it had no importance when we see the present situation of the world that is destroying itself from all parts, as God announced to you.

 

            All together we become wanderers, like Adam and Eve after the Original Sin.  Some are seeking food and shelter.

 

            So as reparation, Christ is asking each Priest, each member of His Church and each faithful Family of His Church, an act of Love:  One Holy Mass for World Repentance.

 

            "Penance, Penance, Now is the time to save all those sinners who do not love JESUS'.

 

 ( 2nd appearance of the Cross, November 8, 1972 in Dozul).

 

            On His Cross, JESUS still cries: "I thirst!"  Let us make haste to ask for His Forgiveness.

 

JESUS of Nazareth,

the Son of Man.

Message From Mother Mary

 

Son, the work of saving souls goes on and on.  Be an instrument of God's work through your service of love.  By spreading the word, there is always a big chance that these messages will reach someone who needs to hear, to know, be reminded, convinced, lest they forget that life on earth is very short and temporary.

 

The food for the soul is the word of God.  Frequently this food has to be ingested in order to regularly nourish the soul. 

 

Without God speaking to the heart, the spirit of man will go into dryness that can only be remedied by going back to His words.  There is no spiritual connection unless God is fervently desired by a person.

 

There is no heaven unless one desires heaven greatly that by so doing, a person is willing to forego everything that obstructs him from going into that place of magnificent wonder. 

 

The Kingdom of heaven is like a field with buried treasure that one happens to discover.  In the scripture, it says that the man who found the treasure will sell everything he has in order to buy the field with the hidden treasure that it be finally his, thus a person has to sacrifice and set aside all that is not in accord with God's will in order to gain the hidden, great treasure   heaven.

"Without a strong faith, you will not be prepared for what is to come - you will

need to trust in God in order to survive"

 

 

MESSAGE #3028 from the Blessed Mother October 22, 2007

 

My daughter, Please share all that I am teaching you so more turn to God before it's too late. Time is moving quickly, so please share my messages so more

repent and turn to God. My children must make more time to be with God.

 

They must begin their day with prayer and pray, pray throughout the day. They must live the Gospel. They must obey each Commandment. All my children must awake from their slumber and realize there is consequence for sin.

Sin has become widespread and many are living in mortal sin.

 

Please, dear children, examine your conscience. Go to Confession and be truly sorry for your sins. Do not abuse the Sacraments. You each need God's grace in order to live a holy life.

 

You cannot walk alone, you need God's grace and

direction. Please wake up and amend your lives. The earth is trembling and change is about to happen soon. Without a strong faith, you will not be prepared for what is to come. Much will be taken away and you will need to trust in God in order to survive.

 

I say to my children, begin today, build your relationship with Jesus so you truly prepare your soul. Without more prayer and love in your hearts, you will see much more chaos, division and bloodshed.

 

Will you please respond to my heavenly pleas? Will you please turn to God and trust in His love, mercy and salvation? It is time now to truly turn to Jesus and trust in His unending love.

Message From Jesus

 

 Son, I am about to bring a full measure of graces for the waiting remnant.  Spiritual gifts such as those given in the days of the first apostles are to be showered on my faithful children, provided that their lives have earned for them this wonderful merit.

 

 People are convinced of my real presence if their eyes can witness wonders and miracles which are only possible by my supernatural intervention.  Healing of the sick, great signs and wonders, speaking words of wisdom and grace, the power to change the hearts of men, these will accompany my end time servants in finally convincing people that God is truly present in their midst.

Before the present civilization comes to a close, these things will happen.

 

Go in peace!

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 11 - CONFESSION SHOULD INVIGORATE YOUR Faith         

"Virgin Immaculate! In this year of the Eucharist help us to celebrate and adore with renewed faith and ardent love the holy mystery  of the Body and Blood of Christ" (Pope John Paul II, December 8, 2004).

 

Mother Teresa - 

 

Life is the greatest gift that God has bestowed on mankind.

Since man is created in the image of God, it belongs to Him.

We have no right to destroy it.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - Fear is an evil worse than evil itself.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Seek and find the Truth and continue to seek

 

"Over 1,500 years ago St. Augustine said `Sic ergo quaeramus tanquam inventuri, et sic inveniamus tanquam quaesituri.' `Seek the truth as one about to find it, and find it with the intention of always seeking it.'

 

Those who already have a philosophy are not to rest in idle adherence, but to keep on studying to deepen the knowledge one has, or else to discover that what he thought were profound truths were mere emotional adhesions or inherited prejudices without foundation either in history or in reason."

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  - Mother of God, your soul was plunged into a sea of bitterness; look upon your child and teach her to suffer and to love while suffering. Fortify my soul that pain will not break it. Mother of grace, teach me to live by [the power of] God.       (315)

 

Once, the confessor told me to pray for his intention, and I began a novena to the Mother of God. This novena consisted in the prayer, "Hail, Holy Queen," recited nine times. Toward the end of the novena I saw the Mother of God with the Infant Jesus in Her arms, and I also saw my confessor kneeling at her feet and talking with her.

 

 I did not understand what he was saying to her, because I was busy talking with the Infant Jesus, who came down from His Mother's arms and approached me. I could not stop wondering at His beauty. I heard a few of the words that the Mother of God spoke to him [i.e., my confessor] but not everything.

 

The words were: I am not only the Queen of Heaven, but also the Mother of Mercy and your Mother. And at that moment she stretched out her right hand, in which she was clasping her mantle, and she covered the priest with it. At that moment, the vision vanished.       (330)

 

Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html -

 

Quote of the Day He who walking on the sea could calm the bitter waves, who gives life to the dying seeds of the earth; he who was able to loose the mortal chains of death, and after three days' darkness could bring again to the upper world the brother for his sister Martha: he, I believe, will make Damascus rise again from the dust. -St. Damasus (from an epitaph written for himself)

 

 

Intention of the Day Please pray for all the poor souls of purgatory.

 

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

Dec 11 - CONFESSION SHOULD INVIGORATE YOUR FAITH

 

Part of our Advent preparation includes the sacrament of penance, of which Mary speaks today :

 

Do not go to confession only through habit, to remain the same afterwards. No, that is not good. Confession should refresh you and bring you closer to Jesus. If confession does not mean anything to you, truly, you will be converted with great difficulty (Locutionists Jelena & Marijana November 7, 1983).

 

Psalm 32 also speaks of the confession of sins and the freedom it produces :

 

Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not hide my iniquity;

 

I said, " I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, " and you forgave the guilt of my sin. You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.

 

Psalm 32 :5, 7

 

Reflection :

 

There is a story of a Russian prince who, through the indulgence of Napoleon, was permitted to bring pardon to one convict in a French prison. Every person he interviewed professed innocence and said he was unjustly punished.

 

 At last he found one who, with sorrow, confessed his guilt and acknowledged himself as deserving of punishment . To him he said, " I have brought you pardon. In the name of the Emperor, I pronounce you a free man. "

 

To confess our sins before the Lord always brings forth his compassion and mercy, for he desires to forgive sinners. Forgiveness has always been part of his divine nature. He revealed it to David (our psalm today), and he dramatically showed it to the world through Jesus Christ.

 

And so Our Lady urges us to seek forgiveness through the sacrament of penance, for it is the gateway to inner peace, to freedom, and to a closer relationship with Christ.

 

Application :

 

Mark your calendar today for your Advent confession. Remember Our Lady's words, " Confession should give an impulse to your faith. It should stimulate you and bring you closer to Jesus. " 

 

Medjugorje Day X Day Dec 10 - I GIVE YOU A GREAT LOVE

 

"Thanksgiving is the soul's most delightful act of love as also the most pleasing to God; it is a perfect homage to His infinite goodness.  The Eucharist itself is perfect thanksgiving. 

 

The word Eucharist means thanksgiving.  Jesus Eucharistic renders thanks to His father for us; He is our own thanksgiving"

(St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

If  only we could think as little children, what a wonderful world it

would be.

 

God lives under the bed

 

Don't start reading this one until you've got more than 3 or 4 minutes

to just "scan" over it. It deserves some time for reflection.

 

See end of email

Pope John Paul II -

 

Mother Teresa wrote in her own hand to Denis Nolan April 8 1992

"We are all praying one Hail Mary before Holy Mass to Our Lady of Medjugorje." Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 18

 

Mother Teresa -  

 

God has invested all His love in creating human life. That is why we are not entitled to destroy it, especially we who know that Christ has died for the salvation of that life.

Christ has died and has given everything for that child.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - Thank God and gently kiss His hand which strikes you; it is always the Hand of a Father who strikes because He loves you.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

Beaming in on the beam in our own eye

 

"Why is it, on the one hand, when people firmly believe some religious truth, that they often consider others who refuse to accept that same truth as either stupid or bigoted? Why is it too, on the other hand, that others who have no compass or map in life, and who deny there is any truth or goodness, other than that which they decide for themselves, take a position of cynicism and ridicule in the face of the believer?"

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  - I had permission to visit Czestochowa while on my journey. I saw the Mother of God for the first time, when I went to attend the unveiling of the Image at five in the morning. I prayed without interruption until eleven, and it seemed to me that I had just come.

 

The superior of the house there [Mother Serafin] sent a sister for me, to tell me to come to breakfast and said she was worried that I would miss my train. The Mother of God told me many things. I entrusted my perpetual vows to her. I felt that I was her child and that She was my Mother. She did not refuse any of my requests.       (260)

 

Once, after an adoration for our country, a pain pierced my soul, and I began to pray in this way: "Most merciful Jesus, I beseech You through the intercession of Your Saints, and especially the intercession of Your dearest Mother who nurtured You from childhood, bless my native land. I beg You, Jesus, look not on our sins, but on the tears of little children, on the hunger and cold they suffer.

 

Jesus, for the sake of these innocent ones, grant me the grace that I am asking of You for my country." At that moment, I saw the Lord Jesus, His eyes filled with tears, and He said to me, You see, My daughter, what great compassion I have for them. Know that it is they who uphold the world.      (286)

 

 

Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html -

 

Quote of the Day St. James tells us that this virtue comes from Heaven and that we shall never have it unless we ask it of God. We should therefore, frequently ask God to give us purity in our eyes, in our speech, and in all our actions. -St. John Vianney

 

Today in History

 

 

Today's Tidbit Emmanuel is a name used for Jesus and means "God with us."

 

Intention of the Day Please pray for all people who are despairing or who have depression, may Emmanuel help them to overcome their problems.

 

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.

 

 

Dec 10 - I GIVE YOU A GREAT LOVE

The following was given to Jelena's prayer group :

I wish that you would become like a flower in spring. I give you a great love but at times you reject it, and then it diminishes.

 

And so always accept immediately all the gifts that I give you so they can benefit you (Locutionists Jelena & Marijana June 11, 1984).

And from Psalm 91 : <BR>

 

Those who love me, I will deliver; <BR>

 

I will protect those who know my name. <BR>

 

When they call to me, I will answer them; <BR>

 

I will be with them in trouble , <BR>

 

I will rescue them and honor them. Psalm 91 :14-15<BR>

 

Reflection:

A little boy visiting his grandmother was intrigued by a hand stitched pillow bearing the scripture verse, "Thou, God, seest me."

 

Noticing her grandchild's interest, she picked up the pillow and began to explain it to him.

"Some people will tell you," she said, "that God is always watching to see if you do something wrong, so

he can punish you. I don't want you to think of it like that. Every time you read the words, "

 

Thou God, seest me, I would rather have you remember that God loves you so much that he cannot take his eyes off you."

This is the message of Our Lady and sacred scripture today : the ineffable love of God that transcends all human understanding. It is the foundation and meaning of our lives and our faith, for the gift of love is the gift God's very self.

Application:

St. Augustine wrote that, « One loving heart sets another on fire. » As God inflames our hearts, we are called in turn to inflame other through or car, compassion, and works of love. Today, simply reflect these lines by an unknown poet :

It has hands to help others.

 

It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.

 

It has the eyes to see misery and want.

 

It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.

 

That is what love looks like.

Word to Louise Nov. 27,2007

 

November 27, 2007

 

Louise after testing the spirits heard the word 'propane' over and over again.

 

COMMENTS BY MARI K.

 

 

Hopefully the following I am sharing will save you the nightmare in hell that I have been through since last February.

 

Check things like shaving cream and cans of olive etc.. spray oil and other articles and you may also find that they may contain deadly propane along with the dangerous propylene, butlyene and ethylene etc..glycols (anti-freeze) and EDTA ..I just had purchased some new cat treats last week and got it home to more carefully study the bag and found that it contained a form of ethylene. (gasoline) Recently it was reported that MSG eats holes in the brain. Maybe this is why so many people are finding lesions on their brains. We must take these warnings seriously or as God the Father told L. it could result in deadly illnesses and suffering or He said EVEN DEATH.

 

Friend found incredible article where

New York Times and Seattle Times reported in article called ' MASS POISONING WITH TOXIC SYRUP' this year that propylene glycol can cause strokes and also nervous breakdowns. I, myself last February was exposed to it for almost 30 minutes while hairdresser who went to make a phone call left dollops of it on my head and the shampoo contained it along with other long list of deadly chemicals. It was two fold because also 60 minutes reported that leaving someone laying back in shampoo bowl cuts of blood flow to brain on both sides of the neck (the carotids) also causing strokes. (many across the USA have reported strokes from this alone)

 

Needless to say I had a severe stroke and then minor stroke that was truly a nightmare for me. For those of you have not heard my story I lost vision and memory, slurred my speech, had paralysis on the left side of my body and could not even smile and other symptoms etc. etc. Thanks be to God I never lost consciousness and even more. Also it left blisters all over my head and on the right side of my cheek and my right eye swelled into painful oozing blister too. I am still digging out all these months later pieces of painful razor sharp hard stuff out of my pores and soft tissue. What a nightmare. God had brought me something miraculous 6 months before it happened that allowed me to regain my health very quickly with some pretty massive amounts but at this time I still have some memory loss and still have things drop out of my hands at times and have some sagging of my left side of my face at this point which is minor compared to what I was like. Hope that sharing what happened to me will spark you to be more careful. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED. CHECK EVERYTHING CAUTIOUSLY.

 

So I want you to remember that when you are thinking these warnings from the Father are just minor and not that important. I have had people tell me "Oh.. a small amount of this will not hurt you." How do they know that. Why would anyone want to take a chance especially after hearing what happened to me. Believe me I was so VERY careful before this happened AND IT STILL HAPPENED but now you would not believe how cautious I am. Sad to say that many I warn do not take it seriously. After researching these chemicals the trail always leads back to China. Please...please check your cosmetics: hair color, hairsprays, moisturizers, soaps, make-ups, cleaners and yes even... your powders, eye shadows, baby products too..like baby wipes, their shampoos and everything basically..( sad to say) (let us lift up all babies and small children for protection) 5 top baby bottles have a toxin in them..that is deadly and all vitamins and over the counter meds, stool softeners, etc. , food products even bakery goods contain PPG..and of course toothpaste..

 

Even mineral oil plugs the heart and is in so many things like cold remedies and diet pills and vitamins. Caffeine is in so many things and dehydrates the body pushing the blood pressure to high levels. Take your body weight and divide by two and drink that many ounces but for every cup of coffee you need to drink two glasses of water. Caffeine affects the heart and stresses the adrenals. (check diet drugs) Sugar burns out the thyroid and is in everything. Your thyroid is key to all hormones and weight control and even your mood.

 

Recently a young woman I have known for many years in her early 40's died of breast cancer and she worked in cosmetics at well known department store. Those chemicals are synthetic and they have to deposit themselves in the tissue somewhere in your body. Americans have such an acidic diet which many diseases can live in that type of enviroment.

 

PS. ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT DO NOT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS CALLED LEVAQUIN, CIPRO, FLOXIN AND OTHER ANTIBIOTICS IN THIS FAMILY OF THEM WHICH IS CALLED ---FLNOROQUINOLONE. Many are suffering from the deadly effects and many terrible horrendous symptoms that these chemicals leave on their body for years to come.

 

A very dear friend of mine of many years has suffered for over the last 2 1/2 years horrificly from nightmarish side effects you would not believe but can read about on the internet. (please lift them and all those who are still suffering from this deadly antibiotic) Their health was great before this happened and they suffered panic attacks now and then but this has become unending for them.

 

Also I heard of one man who went in for tests and was given the levaquin and just three weeks later he was dead. (told to me by his wife and she said he had such grave pain that they could hear him scream corridors away and no amount of pain meds would help.)

 

Get on the internet and look up levaquin and see thousands of testimonials. Many have been suffering for several years already. Make sure you or no one you love gets this drug.

 

Do yourself a favor and get rid of deadly chemicals in cleaners and use things like natural things like baking soda and white vinegar (for cleaning) etc..Get the book on APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. (tons of uses) which is used for internal use. Don't confuse the two. America is being killed by chemicals in our food, air and water etc..etc..We are a pill popping society but with each pill comes horrible side effects that sometimes are long lasting and much worst than the diease. The OW people are trying to kill us off and are probably succeeding because so many are refusing to heed God the Father's warnings.

 

China has laced bed mattresses with bed bugs, meds (over the counter and otherwise) with so many horrible things like dormant larvae, contacts solution with parasites, eye shadows with microbiological chemicals, lipstick and pottery with lead, ..and the saddest of all baby toys and products with lead etc..etc..

 

I am sure you have all heard the warnings and recalls. Only someone possessed by evil could hurt and innocent baby or child. Please lift all of them up in prayer every day for protection along with the other defenseless ones --the elderly ..especially those who are dependant on others and have no loved one to look out for them.The chemtrails which have been on the Discovery Channel now are daily filling our air with deadly viruses and poisons.

 

If you have a week immune system wear facial mask and make sure it is made in USA too. Wash your hands often by making solution of boiled water with wild oregano oil which is antivirus and antibacterial and so many other wonderful properties.

 

Wash your clothes when coming in from outside and again immediately wash your hands. As the Father warns 'stay out of crowds and do not drink from public water fountains'. Go back and read past mgs of warnings and preparations. . Jesus warned about not buying anything from China long before it was on the news.

 

For 33 years the Most Holy Spirit had been schooling me in nutrition for these very times and am sure He has been doing that with many of you also for these times. We are so blessed that He gives us these gifts and warnings. Again hope and pray that my sharing from the heart will save even one of you or someone you love from the heartbreak and pain that I went thru.

 

Again thanks again to all those who supported me with wonderful precious gifts of prayers and loving encouraging emails, & your calls during these times etc..etc..I will never forget you or them and pray for you all everyday. Again..I love you all and your are all the very best family anyone could have!!!

again

love and prayers and biggest hugs

Also read about coconut oil on internet..(and many books on it uses too and using it in recipes)

coconut means tree of life and is miraculous also. It lowers blood sugar and also many have seen their cancer disappear. Again start slowly with tsp a day and you do not have to take the massive amount they suggest..again you will possibly detox.There

is book on wild oregano oil and all its uses. Some have seen cancer disappear. My sister's friend did.

 

These gifts from God have wonderful antibacterial and antiviral properties and much much more. Also check out product called Real Salt at your health food store. (has many natural minerals) and last of all I can give you some real good advice..After your morning prayers EXERCISE to DVD ..like Leslie Sansone.) she is not into New Age that I have heard anyway..Begin small and

and work up..to 1 to 5 miles a day..Do it slowly..Get your doctor's approval ..Stay away from sugars as ONLY 1 tsp.

will deplete your immune system 20%..One can of soda contains 12 tsps. of sugar. Sugar zaps your energy and makes your body acidic and you will have overgrowth yeast infection. Disease can grow rapidly in this environment. .btw..

Stay away from coffee and soda pop..Both are poisons.

 

LEARN TO DRINK WATER.

DRINK TWO GLASSES RIGHT WHEN YOU GET UP AND 30 MINUTES BEFORE EXERCISING.. AGAIN MAKE SURE YOU BOIL IT BECAUSE JESUS SAID THAT IS IMPORTANT NOW.

STAY AWAY FROM MICROWAVING. .DO NOT USE SILVERSTONE PANS AND OF COURSE NEVER ALUMINUM..Hand santizer has anti-freeze in it so make your own with oregano oil...Stay away from white flour and again white sugar. Maple syrup from grocery stores may contain formaldyhyde. .so get one you know is safe and double check it.. It contains good minerals. Lemon juice can flavor you water if you have hard time getting it down because of taste. Stevia is herb that sweetens.

 

Remember that Jesus told John Leary and Maria E. that we need to drink Hawthorn ..Sometimes the caps will make your heart pound so get the tea from company called Alvita..instead. Remember that sugar turns to fat in the diet and affects your mood too causing highs and lows. Depression can sometimes is just from bad diet. St. John's Wort is miraculous for depression but takes at least 6 weeks to become effective. Taheebo or pau'd arco tea is good for fungus problems as is coconut oil and WILD oregano oil. Wild oregano is good preventative too..There are drops and caps and many other products too..and again get the book for directions..

.Begin consuming coconut oil in small amounts as it will cause huge detox (herkheimer)

and you may feel bad with flulike syptoms before you feel better..Begin with 1 tsp..a day..for while..and that maybe all you need..It is potent..You can use it on skin and hair too..When you become ill out 2 or 3 TBSPS. IN WARM ORANGE JUICE AND DRINK WITH EACH MEAL..SOMETIMES IT TAKES A FEW DAYS TO KICK IN AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE INSTANTLY WELL. DO NOT BURN YOUR MOUTH BECAUSE IT IS VERY HOT.

YOU CAN ADD IT TO HOT CEREAL TOO. USE THE VIRGIN FOR CONSUMING AND THE REFINED FOR COOKING, SKIN AND HAIR..

OH YES..OLIVE LEAF IS INCREDIBLE NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC.. THERE ARE SO MANY SCRIPTURAL PASSAGES ON GIVING US HERBS ETC..FOR HEALING..

EVEN PRESIDENT KENNEDY SAID TO CONGRESS IN MARCH OF '63 THAT THE OCEAN WOULD SOMEDAY BE MORE THAN A CURIOSITY BUT OUR VERY LIVES MIGHT DEPEND UPON IT AND SEAWEED IS POWERFUL TOO WITH MANY EXCELLENT PROPERTIES. BTW OUT APPLE CIDER VINEGAR ON A BURN..IMMEDIATELY. .MIRACULOUS. .SIP TINY AMOUNT BEFORE A MEAL IF YOU ARE HAVING DIGESTION PROBLEMS AND GINGER IS GREAT FOR NAUSEA AND YOU CAN BUY FRESH AND MAKE HOT TEA AND IT IS VERY GOOD FOR ARTHRITIS..DOES NOT TAKE TO MANY SLICES..

YOU CAN

TAKE TWO T. OF LEMON, TWO SLICES OF GINGER, (or use powered)

1 Tsps.

. OF GARLIC ( can use odorless caps too) just carefully check ingredients.

AND SWEETEN WITH 2 T.s of maple syrup. (great for colds)

Tumeric is anticancer herb..too..Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber everyday. Disease begins in the colon.

Unsweetened pineapple juice will sweep mucous out of the body because of the bromaline..( this could be mispelled) Also cascara sagrada is wonderful for laxative..

Look up oil pullin but do not use peanut oil unless you are possible you are not allergic to it..This works but do not swallow any of the oil..after doing it..spit it out..

Just remember to always make the SIGN OF THE CROSS like Jesus told Maria Jahenny..over everything.. and &

to pray lots of prayers of protection over everything.. .We cannot be praying too much..

 

Tried to share a few of the things that the Most Holy Spirit led me to over the years that helped us over the last 33 years. again hope something here helps you.

Message From the Father - December 7,2007 thru Lec

 

December 7, 2007

6:40 am

Message from the Father

 

Son of my will, tell others of my plans for mankind. Be my messenger of love, hope and peace. I wish to be known as the Father of all mankind, a God of love, mercy and compassion, slow to anger and patient in enduring the sight of my will being transgressed, yet a God of justice. I wish to be loving and merciful at all times if situation permits but so many in the world had forgotten the fact that later on in life or in the next, they will have to reckon with my justice.

 

Before it becomes too late for so many, help me remind them that their willful ignorance of my laws of justice will finally be their soul burden for eternity if they do not change their ways, repent, seek me in humility and continue their lives in submission to my will and authority. My will is not hard to do. Remember the scripture " my yoke is easy and my burden is light".

 

I am about to allow big changes to occur in the world.

Before it becomes too late for those who are still far away from me, share this message, hoping that this will reach some of them that they become aware that their days of living without me in their lives is about to change.

 

Go in peace son

Message to J.N.S.R.Oct. 6,2007

 

Where is this World going!

 

*******

October 6, 2007

 

JNSR:  My Sweet JESUS, Master of the World, Master of the Universe, Master of Life, what information can we transmit today to the children of God?  I thank you with all my heart.

 

The Father:  What I am about to say to you, may it not in any way upset your Faith and your Beliefs.

 

I am the One and True God speaking to you.

 

Man's science cannot in any way harm God's Truth,  for all human intelligence is preciously kept in the Divine Intelligence.  One day, men will come to the Source if they wish to go any further.

 

"And a sea will exist no more".  Why?  Because the lands will come nearer and nearer to each other, little by little to form a one and only nation surrounded by oceans.  Therefore divisions will not have their place in this great and marvelous island that will be the world.  Of that, we will not talk about today nor for the centuries to come.  But all is in God's initial program.

 

It is in the perpetual movement of Creation that follows its way, little by little.  God does not cease creating, but I keep you informed and I will communicate to you, in time, the change I foresee for each epoch.

 

For all is unfolding as a consequence of life on Earth.  If the change of the geographical structure must upset My creatures, I must warn them and protect them.

 

The entire Universe is still going through this important progression, as it was in the thoughts of God from the origin of Creation, so that all works simultaneously for Eternity, in leading and generating Love.  For each thing and each creature.

 

All I give you to see and understand must be beneficial for each of My children.  Have no fear, My tender daughter, you will forget nothing of what I must give you in order to warn your brothers, for what will not be said here, shall be said in another writing.  Your Protector God is the God of Pagans, as well as the God of Christians and the God of every Religion scattered in the world that will become more and more ruthless, as Love was removed from almost everywhere, as a child is cruelly pulled away from its mother's breast.

 

I am not punishing any of you, but you will know with all I shall tell you, that you will have to change because everything will change.  Listen, listen all of you, to your Creator, God the Eternal Father of each one of you, from the richest to the poorest, listen to what I must tell you:

 

"Without My Beloved JESUS Christ, you cannot and you will not advance any more in this world that God will transform little by little.  He Alone, JESUS Christ, is the Way, the Truth and the Life, for He is God who received everything from God."

 

If the Moon has two sides, it is still called Moon (understand who may), for since the very origin of the World, some still remain in total darkness regarding their body and soul.  And today, I come to instruct you more deeply, so that no one ignores that the Master of the World, the God of Intelligence, of Peace and of Love, is the One and Only God.  And whoever denies the Son, will also deny the Father.  And whoever will not call on the Son any more, and adore Him, also denies the Father who, Himself, hands everything over to His Son.

 

And as each of you is still in the image of Saint Thomas, God became man to become the model of all human beings so that by contemplating Him on His Holy Cross, in His Holy Death and His Holy Resurrection, man leaves the slavery of the tomb he built for himself, in order to enter into the Light of the Resurrected Lord and follow Him.   "Touch My Holy Wounds and like Thomas, doubt no longer but believe".

 

May the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and of the Son, He who is Lord in the Trinity of Love, (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), enlighten in this New Alliance, the heart of all men so that everyone erupts from  his desert to inhabit this New Earth that God gives you with the New Heavens.   The Kingdom of Dignity, of Sharing and of Love, in the Hope of finding God again, this One and True God who never ceased loving you.

 

Lord, gather us all together,

in the Peace of Your Love,

JESUS Christ, True God and True Man,

God, the Eternal One. †

Amen

   Medjugorje Day X Day Dec 09 - YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO

 

"By instituting the Most Blessed Sacrament, our Divine Saviour gave to mankind a proof of His infinite love.  The altar is His throne of love and mercy, where He dwells among us to distribute His graces and reveal to us the magnitude of His love.  We should gratefully remember this love every moment of our lives" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).

 

St. Juan Diego, Visionary of Guadalupe, Mexico (1474-1548)—December 9

"A peasant named Juan Diego saw before him, on the rugged slopes of Tepeyac hill, the Virgin Mary bathed in supernatural radiance.  `I ardently desire'' she said, `that a church be built here.'  Right from the start, then, God's mother indicated the Eucharistic orientation of her mission.  Very significantly, too, Juan Diego was at the time making his way to Mass" (Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).

 

Mother Teresa   -

 

I praise the tenderness and the love of God, because every little one, in a poor family or a rich family, is a child of God, created by the Creator of all things.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - In short, don't philosophize on your defects; don't reply but carry on firmly. No, God could not lose you when, in order to avoid losing Him you persist in your resolutions. Let the world turn upside down, let everything be in darkness, in smoke, in confusion, but God is with us, what can we fear therefore? If God lives in the darkness and on Mount Sinai amidst the thunder and lightning, shouldn't we be happy, knowing we are close to Him?

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

 

Multiplication of opinions are different from the absoluteness of math

"Everyone believes in the absoluteness of the multiplication table, and agrees that two and two makes four. Ibsen, however, once said: "Maybe two and two make five in the fixed star." To this G.K. Chesterton retorted: "How do you know there are any such things as fixed stars, unless you keep adding over and over again, two and two make four?" Many persons adhere to certain causes with the same energy as they believe in the multiplication table, eg. labor leaders, chamber of commerce, staunch Democrats, strong Republicans, etc. The greatest convictions are in the field of religion, though these actually in modern society provoke less social disturbance than economic conflicts among economic groups."

 

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

 The Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Before Holy Communion I saw the Blessed Mother inconceivably beautiful. Smiling at me she said to me, My daughter, at God's command I am to be, in a special and exclusive way your Mother; but I desire that you, too, in a special way, be my child.      (1414)I desire, my dearly beloved daughter, that you practice the three virtues that are dearest to me-and most pleasing to God.

 

The first is humility, humility, and once again humility; the second virtue, purity; the third virtue, love of God. As My daughter, you must especially radiate with these virtues.

 

When the conversation ended, she pressed me to her heart and disappeared. When I regained the use of my senses, my heart became so wonderfully attracted to these virtues; and I practice them faithfully. They are as though engraved in my heart.       (1415)

This has been a great day for me.

 

During this day I remained as though in unceasing contemplation; the very thought of this grace drew me into further contemplation; and throughout the whole day I continued in thanksgiving which I never stopped, because each recollection of this grace caused my soul ever anew to lose itself in God...(1416)

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.

 

 

Dec 9 - YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO

 

The following message on renunciation, the key to purity, was also given on the feast of the Immaculate Conception :

 

If you do not have the strength to fast on bread and water, you can give up a number of things. It would be good to give up television for after seeing some programs, you are distracted and unable to pray. You can give up alcohol, cigarettes, and other pleasures. You yourselves know what you have to do (First Years Dec 8, 1981).

 

Paul discusses another dimension of purification :

 

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things (Phil 4 :8).

 

Reflection :

 

What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Today Paul tells us to fill them with thoughts that are good and spiritually healthy, that we might express this same goodness in our lives. This is behind the Virgin's request to reduce or eliminate television viewing, for again, what you put in, is what will come out.

 

For instance, it is easy to discount the effect of violence and immoral behavior as seen in some movies and TV shows, yet there will definitely be an effect.Consequently, if we have problems with, say, impure thoughts or dishonesty, it would be wise to examine what we are putting in our minds through magazines, books, and the media.

 

It is our responsibility to replace harmful input with healthy material, that the Spirit of God can live and breathe within us.

 

Application :

 

In prayer today, reflect on how you can eliminate, or at least cut down, on harmful messages to your mind and heart.

The Words of God the Father

December 8, 2007

 

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary

 

 

Dear Children of Humanity,

 

 

My Son's Heart is aflame, reaching out to the entire world with Love for you. I am with you; and even as I am with you, My Son and the Holy Spirit are with you, for we are One in the Holy Trinity.

 

Yet, so many differences! Even if there are differences, why is not there the possibility that as Christian people, children of Abraham whom I created, humanity cannot be blessed, give praise to their God Almighty, and form in unity and Love?

 

How much longer will it be---day after day---that so many of you initially receive My Words, listen to them with your hearts aflame, and then, instead of practicing them, move forward and get enveloped in a different dimension which further divides the world.

 

 

My desire is for Love, love of you, love for you, and the Love within you. This Love within you goes forth to meet everyone out in the world. Anyone who desires to receive it receives God! Too much emphasis is placed on the miraculous, the signs of the times, and the desires and hopes of private intentions.

 

I am the God of yesterday and the God of today. I am Alpha and Omega. I am! No one can divide Me from yesterday or today or with their private intentions. I see within; and there, through your strength you have the ability, if you so choose, to rise and be the new column and pillar of Light.

 

Bring all---all to the Throne of God! For all are important. Every soul is important. It is not what you say, but what you do. It is not necessary to debate what is true and what is not. What is necessary is to live with the continuity of Love. If you know Love, and If Love knows you, then embraced as One you can only move forward in the Light of Love.

 

Words mean nothing. Today your friend is near. Tomorrow your friend may disappear. What is important is the Love, there forever, cherishing and living in the Light and Truth of God.

 

Vigilance, prudence, temperance, patience, humility and the complete surrender to My Divine Will are the ultimate end of gratification and the ultimate beginning.

 

I love you, and I bless you. I thank you for your patience in reading and listening to My Words.

 

Message to Ned Dougherty Dec.1, 2007

 

Christmas Appeal & Offering!

 

 

From Jesus The Redeemer

 

My son,

 

I come to you today as Jesus The Redeemer of mankind. You are now entering the season

of Advent and the beginning of a joyous period for mankind. Since the preparation for my birth here on Earth 2000 years ago, every year has become a celebration of the Feast of the Child of God who has been sent to you to change the future of mankind for the better.

 

There have been periods of time since my birth when humanity has shown great reverence for my birth and my lifeâ??s mission here on Earth, and there have been other times when my mission among you has been cast under a cloud of darkness by misbelievers and doubters of the word of God.

 

Now you are living in the times that have been prophesized to you; the times that great doubt would be cast, not only on my very mission among you, but also on my actual existence.

 

Truly now, you must recognize in your times currently that secular influences have taken over the control of the Advent Season, turning this wonderful time of year from a spiritual journey of growth for you into a secular materialistic pursuit of the false riches that this world has to offer.

 

The masters of the universe, as they refer to themselves, have taken control of the means of communication to control the way you are led to think; the way you are motivated to spend your money; and even how you should think of yourselves, as secular entities, devoid of a human spirit or the promise of an eternal afterlife.

 

Look around you today at your brothers and sisters. Are they honoring me as you begin this Advent Season by spending time in prayer and meditation, or are they rushing to the shopping malls to spend more than they can afford?

 

Are you thinking of me and my mission among you that is again to take place with my birth, or are you now part of the problem that has focused on my mission as being irrelevant in your material world?

 

What are you planning to do on the eve of this Advent Season to recognize me as the Redeemer of the world? Will you find yourself in prayer and reflect upon the miracle of my birth 2000 years ago? Will you recognize the roles of my blessed Mother Mary and of my earthly Father Joseph and recognize the sacrifices that they have made to bring me into the world to save all of you from your own destruction?

 

Or will you be joining the others who have lost their faith; who have turned themselves away from the doors to My Church; who have chosen to give up their faith and to pursue a secular lifestyle of materialism and greed, devoid of even recognition of me as the Son of God?

 

Do not spend this Advent Season hoping that the world will become a better place for you because of the money that you spend or because of the earthly comforts that you acquire for yourselves.

 

Remember that this secular world in which you live is temporary and will end for all of you in the designated time for each and every one of you. None of the earthly things that are so alluring to you now will have any benefit to you when the time comes for you to meet your Maker.

 

So spend this Advent Season not on material possessions that you will acquire for yourself and others, but in prayer and sacrifice, in meditation and contemplation, and in reflection upon the mysteries of the birth of the Saviour of humanity, for these are the important activities that will earn you great rewards when your time has come.

 

I am aware that many of you are concerned about the messages that you have received from me or through my Mother Mary, or through the voices from Heaven who have influenced those among you who are so called to hear these messages.

 

Your concerns should not be about what may or may not happen in this world because this world will go through dramatic changes in the not too distant future.

 

The changes that you need to concern yourself with are the changes that must necessarily take place inside each and every one of you. I speak of the changes that will prepare you for the times to come, for you will need great courage and fortitude to face the future and what the future portends for you, not only individually, but for the planet as well.

 

You see, the changes that need to take place within you are necessary for you to obtain the kingdom of God and to also face the future without fear of events that are yet to come.

 

If you follow me and if you turn the care of your soul over to me, I promise that your struggle in this world will be lightened, and you will be freed from the heavy load that you are now carrying.

 

Those of you who have been following me are already being rewarded with a sense of peace and serenity, and calmness within you that you never expected to achieve here on Earth.

 

The difference for those of you who are experiencing this inner calmness and those of you who are still filled with anxiety is that the inner calmness comes from surrendering to the Divine Will of God the Father in Heaven through your journey with me as the Son and Redeemer.

 

If you choose to follow me, you can obtain the inner calmness that God the Father has always ordained for all brothers and sisters here on Earth. It is only through your own individual efforts to move away from God that the turmoil has been created, not only in the individual soul, but also throughout the whole world.

 

There is an original order to all of creation that is still available to those of you who turn yourselves over to me, in body and soul, in order to achieve the oneness with God that should be the goal of all God's creatures.

 

Follow this path to me and clear your mind of all the junk of the material world and you shall be saved. Follow the path to me and free yourself of all the guilt and anxiety of choosing the secular and materialistic world that only provides you with fleeting satisfaction that elusively disappears in a matter of time.

 

I must emphasize to you the importance of recognizing that your journey here on Earth is ever so brief and the journey with me in the heavenly realms is for all eternity.

 

So you must decide now; do I want to spend my time pursuing the fleeting and secular world of materialism and greed or do I want to please my Lord and Saviour and focus my attention on the Redeemer of the world?

 

The decision is yours to make. Will you deny me in these times? Then you will deny me forever. How will you plan to spend your eternity under your own terms?

 

I come to you today as Jesus The Redeemer

 

End 4:17pm

Message #3027 to Little Mary - October 16, 2007

A true servant is humble and loving and does not seek control"

MESSAGE #3027 from the Blessed Mother October 16, 2007

My daughter, Continue to pray, for the world is in need of prayer. Be cautious of those who refuse to join hands and pray the Rosary. Be cautious of those who study the bible, but refuse to live it.

All must pray and live the Gospel. All must join hands and do their part for the salvation of souls. All must serve Our Lord if they truly want to imitate Christ. A true servant is humble and loving and does not seek control. Many
today seek power, but they are not turning to God for guidance.

Please, dear children, let go of pride and jealousy so that God can truly direct you. Let go of your selfish ways and allow God to be in control.

Begin today by truly living the Gospel. Begin today and join hands and work together. God will truly bless those who are humble, loving and faithful to Our Lord. God's work must continue, so please pray and allow the Holy Spirit to
work through you.

Now, please live the Gospel and manifest your love of knowing Jesus. Live the Gospel with simplicity and joy in your hearts. Amen.

Our Lady of Emmitsburg

To the World

through Gianna Sullivan

December 2, 2007

 

Little children, praised be Jesus! 

 

Little ones, you are all so precious in the Eyes of God!  God loves you.  He cares for you.  God is with you.  I am with you.

 

Do not be concerned whether there are people around you who support you in your belief, or not.  The authorities of the Church are overwhelmed.  In today's world there is tremendous fear. 

 

You must be the Light of Jesus; and to validate anything, you, in belonging to Mother Church, must live and breathe the Truth.  Your actions, your love, your speech and your prayers all witness to the Truth. 

 

Never fear, but know that an explosion of Light is coming---one where all the world will not only know the Truth, but must live it! 

 

How blessed you are for living your faith!  How pleased I am to be here in this visitation!  As Elizabeth was visited, I visit you.  As this Visitation is at hand, know also that the graces bestowed upon you and all of humanity are here to be received. 

 

Holy, Holy, Holy is God; and holy His children who come to Him bearing gifts and receiving Life!  Peace to you in this precious moment!  Peace and good will for all humanity. 

 

I bless you in the Most Glorious Name of God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit, Whose breath fills you with wisdom, knowledge, humility, patience, perseverance, meekness and fortitude.  You are who you are because God is your Almighty. 

 

He is!

 

Reflection by Fr. John B. Wang

 

Our Heavenly Queen, the Seat of Wisdom, is guiding us with a sure hand toward our salvation.  It seems the time has come for Her to make a clear public statement about the great event variously termed as the "Warning" or "Illumination of Conscience." 

 

In this message, She mentions the "Explosion of Light" that is sure to come.  What is this "Explosion of Light?"  To me, Blessed Mother points to the oft-predicted, extraordinary divine salvific action when the whole world will see the Truth, know the Truth and must live the Truth.

 

Furthermore, our Mother reiterates Her happy visitation to the Emmitsburg area.  As in Her visit to St. Elizabeth, our Mother brings many blessings, gifts and graces for us to share.  What blessed moments these are!  Live and defend the Truth. 

 

Fear not.  Have no human concerns. Wish peace and good will to all humanity in this holy season.  Jesus the Emmanuel and His Mother are with us.

Dreams/Visions - Binary Asteroid, Massive Flooding plus News Reports - by Lec

DREAM OF COUNTRYWIDE FLOODING

Sometime ago before going to sleep, I prayed to God to please show me what is to happen in the near future.  What I meant is not the ordinary run of the mill events but something that is headline hugging or some events that would indicate that these are signs referred to in biblical prophecy. 

 

 

For three successive nights, I dreamt of never before seen events which I want to relate one by one:

First night I saw myself standing on the edge of a river where I saw myself facing the south. 

 

Then my gaze turned upwards towards the Southwest where I saw two dot size unrecognizable objects coming towards the sky above where I stood.  The objects' speed were incredibly fast that in a matter of a second or two, I saw them overhead 15 degrees from where I stood. 

 

These were two huge, mountain size, gray objects.  The zonic boom was so loud I can still vividly recall how frightening they were.  I followed with my eyes the direction where the two objects went to.  Direction was North.

After that, I hurried home to listen to the news from the radio. 

 

I heard the announcer saying that powerful bombs were detonated not a binary asteroid hit.  In the dream, I wondered why the cover up.

Perhaps it's not my direct location that was hit but someplace in the Northern hemisphere. Second night, I had another dream.  I saw myself standing in front of our house in the province.  The sight was extremely distressing.
I saw the house where I spent my early chidlhood days in total ruins. 

 

It was brought down at its side and came tumbling down to the muddy ground.  Cause - powerful water currents.  Then I saw the scene for the whole town.  There was a never seen before inundation with muddy water the source of which was not shown in the dream. 

 

It was the town proper scene which is at least 3 kilometers away from the coastlines.  I wonder how bad it was in the seashore settlements.

 

My mother and a brother used to live in our house in the province. In the dream, they were no longer present.  In the dream, I felt that they had already moved out of the house before the calamity happened because they were pre-warned. 

 

Now in real life, they are no longer living in that house I am talking about simply because both of them are now dead.  I wrote and posted this dream now for I am wondering if these times that they are no longer around as the period for the materialization of that gloomy dream event.

 

Third night, I saw myself in the main highway coming from the capital city leading to our hometown.  It is a 155 kilometer distance.  Again, it was a distressing sight in the dream of a heavy, widescale flooding.  The main highway became so impassable as the waters rose so high that the only way to escape death was to climb to a nearby hill. 

 

I saw myself hurriedly climbing up the hill.  Then I found myself in a house in a nearby town where I spent my high school days in the same province where I came from.  The town now a city which is an hour and a half drive from the national capital region was also heavily flooded.

 

Fourth narration is from a daytime vision while I was having a short nap in the office.  I saw muddy waters just outside the legislative building where I have my office at about 12 feet deep and had seen also the devastation that was wrought by rampaging floods inside my office's 18 hectare compound. 

 

All trees were brought down to the ground.  If the water level was 12 feet right there in that place which is at least 30 to 40 kilometers away from the coastlines, I was wondering how bad it had been at locations near the sea.

In the dream, I was made to feel that the flooding was of a nationwide scale.

 

Below are the news reports which prompted me to write the dreams and visions I narrated above:

 

Headlines Killer waves By Arnell Ozaeta and Charlie Lagasca Thursday, November 29, 2007

 

From Ilocos Norte to Jolo, huge waves swamped coastal areas across the country the other night, leaving at least four people dead and sending into panic about 5,000 residents.

 

Authorities are still trying to find an explanation for the big waves that struck following several typhoons and a powerful earthquake that rocked Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon the other day.

 

In Batangas, officials said ferries crossing Taal Lake capsized when strong winds brought by typhoon "Lando" triggered huge waves.

 

Three people drowned while about 30 others were rescued.  Six others remain missing.

 

Authorities identified the fatalities as Josie Rabor and Meann Hernandez of Barangay Ambulong, Tanauan City and Helen Hernandez of Malvar, Batangas.

 

The victims were on their way home after attending a fiesta in Barangay Bignay when strong waves pummeled their motorbancas that subsequently sank in the middle of the lake.

A fisherman also perished while five others went missing after their fishing boat capsized off Cagayan's choppy northern coast late Tuesday.

 

Authorities identified the fatality as Ruben Villado of Barangay Caroan, Gonzaga town.

 

Giant waves also swamped villages in Jolo, Zamboanga City and Misamis Oriental in the southern Philippines and the northern provinces of Ilocos Norte, La Union and Pangasinan.

 

Initial reports said nearly 200 houses made of light materials were washed away while more than 2,000 people were evacuated in Zamboanga City.

 

All ferry services between Zamboanga and Jolo were canceled as environment and disaster officials rushed emergency and relief assistance.

 

In the southern coastal village of Sinunuc in Zamboanga, dozens of families fled after waves hit their wooden huts on stilts, sweeping several away and injuring some residents.

Knee-high floodwaters brought by the waves receded from a key seaside boulevard, leaving trash, corals and other debris. 

 

Some inter-island ferries and cargo boats did not dock in a nearby pier fearing more waves, officials said.

 

The local government of Zamboanga City has declared as calamity areas 15 of its coastal barangays that were battered by huge waves.

 

Mayor Celso Lobregat said a total of 1,600 families fled to safer ground.

Lobregat said there were initial reports that an elderly person and a child went missing after they were swept away.

 

The regional disaster coordinating council said 16 towns of Misamis Oriental were inundated forcing some 1,160 families to flee their homes.

 

No casualty or missing had been reported so far.

In Iligan City, at least 200 houses were initially reported destroyed by huge waves which also inundated several barangays in the city late Tuesday.

 

In Ilocos Norte, thousands of residents went into panic as huge waves battered the coastal town of Pagudpud.

Authorities said 725 families were evacuated as waves destroyed two houses in Barangay Pasaleng of the town.

The Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) led by Ilocos police director Chief Superintendent Leopoldo Bataoil said a total of 1,207 families were affected by the big waves that battered the region.

 

OCD Regional chief Armando Duque said in the entire western coast of Luzon, which was jolted by a magnitude-6 earthquake past noon Tuesday, more than 5,400 people fled to safety and government emergency shelters after their communities were swamped.

 

In the coastal town of Bolinao, Pangasinan, many villagers feared that a tsunami struck because of last Tuesday's earthquake, but authorities immediately explained through local radio that stormy weather out at sea was the reason for the turbulent coasts, Duque said.

 

Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council chief Pat Orduna said about

200 families in the coastal towns of Lingayen, Binmaley, San Fabian and Dagupan City had been evacuated.

 

Search and rescue operations, meanwhile, were continuing for two air force pilots whose plane was believed to have crashed in the South China Sea in the Spratlys on Monday while searching for a missing fishing vessel with 27 people aboard.  The fishermen have not been found.

 

Puzzling Many were puzzled by the waves because typhoon "Mina" (international codename Mitag), which lashed northern Luzon on Monday, had weakened into a storm then blew out of the country toward southern Japan, causing weather to improve since Tuesday.

 

"Many thought that there may have been a tsunami so authorities had to tell them that the waves were caused by the weather disturbances," OCD Region I chief Armando Duque said, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro said government scientists are still trying to determine the cause of the huge waves, which struck a day after a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck Luzon, and after an earthquake hit Indonesia late Monday.

 

Teodoro urged local officials to continue monitoring their coastal areas and carry out "preemptive evacuations" if there was a resurgence in big waves.

 

Chief government forecaster Nathaniel Cruz of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) explained the big waves were apparently generated by strong northeast monsoon prevailing in the country.

 

"Even with Lando and Mina gone, the northeast monsoon will continue to be strong and the possibility of big waves is always there," Cruz said.

Cruz clarified the huge waves that inundated most of the western parts of the country were not caused by last Tuesday's tremor.

 

He said tsunami occurs only several minutes following an earthquake.

 

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs)
director Renato Solidum said the earthquake was not strong enough to generate a tsunami.

 

Tsunamis are huge waves which are caused by earthquakes and underwater landslides, much like the historic Dec.  26, 2004 tidal wave that struck countries in South Asia bordering the Indian Ocean.

 

Pagasa senior weather forecaster Robert Sawi said generally improving weather conditions are expected to prevail over the country starting today.

Cruz said the tropical depression

n outside the Philippine area of responsibility is unlikely to enter the country.

The weather disturbance was earlier predicted to enter the country this week to be named "Nonoy" once it enters the Philippine territory.

 

As of 4 p.m.  yesterday, the tropical depression was located 1,410 kms east of extreme northern Luzon.

Lando, on the other hand, has weakened into an active low pressure area and was located 690 kilometers northeast of Virac, Catanduanes.

 

Mina has also dissipated over the Philippine Sea but its effects are closely being monitored for possible re-generation by Pagasa.

 

Storm warning signals in all areas affected by the storms were lifted.

The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) said Lando left a total of 19 people dead.

Of the 19 casualties, seven were from Camarines Sur, one from Camarines Norte, three from Palawan, two from Apayao, two from Kalinga, three from Cagayan and one from Isabela.

 

The NDCC also reported Lando left over P162 million damage on infrastructures and over P109 million estimated damage in agriculture.  ?  with Lino de la Cruz, Roel Pareno, Helen Flores, Cecille Suerte Felipe, Vic Alhambra, Edu Punay, Jun Elias, Claudio Dacquer, Eva

 

MONSTER WAVES WARNING ISSUED IN CALIFORNIA The monster waves that were predicted for this week started rolling in Tuesday.  Waves were 10 feet and bigger and only expected to get larger over the next 24 hours, when they are predicted to get as high as 20 feet. 

 

At least five rescues have been made to keep surfers from washing into the Ventura Pier.  People were warned to stay off jetties and not to let their children into the ocean because the waves and the currents are so strong. 

 

"When it gets this large, something exponentially bad can happen." The swell is expected to continue through Friday, peaking today.

Here is another From CNN News: UNPRECEDENTED HIGH TIDES BEING REPORTED FROM ALASKA TO INDIA EARTH CHANGES WARNING AS REPORTED BY CNN NEWS DEC 04, 2007 KILU, Papua New Guinea (AP) -- Squealing pigs lit out for the bush and Filomena Taroa herded the grandkids to higher ground last week when the sea rolled in deeper than anyone had ever seen.

 

What was happening?  "I don't know," the sturdy, barefoot grandmother told a visitor.  "I'd never experienced it before."

 

As scientists warn of rising seas from global warming, more and more reports are coming in from villages like this one on Papua New Guinea's New Britain island of flooding from unprecedented high tides.  It's happening not only to low-lying atolls, but to shorelines from Alaska to India.

And Hawaii too Giant Wave Impact - Hawaii [link to visz.rsoe.hu] Giant waves on Maui today damaged facilities at two north shore public beach parks and injured one tow-in surfer, county officials said in a news release. 

 

Baldwin Beach Park and Ho'okipa Beach Park were both closed at 2:30 p.m.  and will remain closed until the areas are declared safe by ocean safety personnel. 

 

At Baldwin Beach Park, wave faces were reported to be 60 feet to 70 feet on the outside reef and a tow-in surfer sustained severe cuts and a possible compound fracture to his leg, officials said.  Two lifeguard vehicles   a wave ski and an ATV   were picked up by the shorebreak and thrown against a picnic pavilion door at Baldwin Park. 

 

The door was broken, and sand washed into the open-air pavilion.  The waves caused substantial damage to the shoreline with sand piling up in the men's restroom and debris littering the park, according to officials.

 

"It's rubber boots country in the back parking lot," said Leland Parker, maintenance supervisor for the Coastal Section, East Parks District.  "The waves are washing into the parking area and the water just gets backed up, with nowhere to go." At Ho'okipa Beach Park, wave faces were at 30 feet to 50 feet, according to Archie Kalepa, ocean safety operations supervisor. 

 

Waves washed up the steep stone wall into the pavilions, carrying sand and debris.  "When it's this big, it's actually a lot easier to convince people to stay out of the water," Kalepa said.  "It's the people onshore who have to be extremely careful ?  no one should ever turn their back to the ocean, even when they think they're standing in a safe zone."

 

Kalepa also reported that two surfers were rescued at Honolua Bay on Maui's northwest side.  Surf was estimated to be breaking in the 30-foot range

 

What is causing the worldwide waves?
MONSTER WAVES WARNING ISSUED IN CALIFORNIA Quote The waves get a bit higher that time of year.  NEVER in recent memory have I seen them at or above this level.  While LA County seems to be avoiding them for now, I don't think it will be so for much longer.

 

It's getting nasty out there.  I drove over to Santa Monica VERY early this AM to have breakfast w/ a friend before hitting the Apple Store in the 3rd St Promenade shopping area.

 

I was early and my buddy was late.  I parked on Ocean Blvd just south of Wilshire at about 7:10 this AM.  I got out of the car and took in the panorama of the pier and the palms and then noticed the LOVEed waves - I had NOT seen the weather warnings nor heard them on the car radio. 

 

Let me tell you that a little after high tide today it was DEFINITELY kicking up some waves out there.  I can't guess how high they were.  But I know what this place looks like in "normal"

weather and this IS NOT WHAT WE ARE SEEING TODAY.  NOT BY A LONG SHOT.

 

The vista that I saw made me inwardly upset - more than was reasonable for some reason and I found it desirable to order a Mimosa instead of just OJ with my breakfast this AM. 

 

Then I had a 2nd one.  Now I do NOT normally drink.  A glass of Champagne on New Years eve, and maybe a half glass of really good wine if I'm dining out and someone orders something really rare, costly and wonderful.
Not quite completely abstaining but LOVEed close.

 

For me to have a Mimosa is a once in a year or two event.  To order a 2nd one?

Something upset the hell out of me, and somehow it didn't all register until much later on today when I got online at GLP and read this post.

 

Then one of those "ah ha" moments hit.  Now at least I know what I found so upsetting and could not put my finger on it earlier this AM.  It was the waves being so 'out of the ordinary' and while it registered it didn't register as real danger, yet. 

 

As I think about it, however, I think that it does represent danger for the LA/SD/Ventura/Santa Barbara costal areas.  It may suddenly get much worse than expected or than what they're admitting they expect.

I mean hell, if parts of I-5 in Washington and Oregon are still under 10' of water, you can bet your butt that something is going to happen here too. 

 

And I don't think we've go long to wait.

Just my weirdness/denial/and then the Ah Ha stuff that kicked in.
My "sense" of it is one of danger and I know that's probably irrational and yet it persists.

 

SCRIPTURE QUOTE Luke 21:25-27 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men's hearts failing them from fear.
