Message From the Father February 2, 2008
6:50 AM

Son, forbearance of trials, sufferings, pain, sorrows, loss of loved ones, of finances is a pleasing attitude of the heart for me.

My Son Jesus suffered a great deal because He was in human form when He was crucified. Do I wish suffering to come to my children?

Certainly not my child but these crosses were designed by me to aid mankind in their journey towards home - where I wish them to arrive.  Without suffering, man's focus is on the outside of himself but suffering forces him to go inside and search the depth of his soul. Most likely, if his sufferings bear much fruit and not rebellion against me, he will find Me.

Suffering is temporary. The soul will go home to me. And when all is said and done, people will see that their suffering does not compare nor matter anymore with the glory that awaits them.

Jesus Asks Us To Follow Him

As usual, my husband and I attended our 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all
those with special needs.  As Jesus requested of us last week, I went to Confession on Saturday and Mass and Holy Communion today and prayed for a departed family member's safe passage into heaven.

After receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Christ during Holy Communion, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus asking Him to please cover me with His most
precious blood. Then I asked, Speak Lord, Your servant listens.


Jesus responded to my heart saying; Eileen My child, it is good to hear My word, but to heed My word is the requirement for entering into the school of Saints.
I love you as I love all My children. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.  Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters.   Message #3037 to little Mary - November 30, 2007


Shaking events will happen, so please turn to My Son and build your relationship with Him now"

MESSAGE #3037 from the Blessed Mother November 30, 2007

My daughter, I am with you, so please write and relay my messages so more repent and prepare their soul. These messages are a gift from God, so please respond now. All must wake up before it is their time to leave this earth.

Please wake up, for time is short on this earth. Please let go of fear, for I am truly here to lead you closer to My Son, Jesus. Shaking events will happen, so please turn to My Son and build your relationship with Him now.  Peace will not be given to those who are living in mortal sin.
Punishment awaits those who are choosing darkness. Prayer, penance and sacrifice is what is needed now. You cannot come to know My Son if change in you does not happen.  You must pick up your cross, repent of your sins and nourish your soul. You must live more simply so you have more time to pray.  The busyness of the world is what is pulling my children away from God.

Today, I am asking my children to examine their conscience. I am asking that you each spend more time kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament. Through your response, your hearts will be touched and Jesus' rays will enter.   Change will begin in you and your love for Jesus will grow. My Priests and all religious must do the same so they are strengthened for times ahead. God will lead the faithful forward, but you must trust and stay close to Jesus' Most
Sacred Heart. Do not wait for the warning. Prepare your soul now.

The time is coming, so prepare, prepare your soul now. God's justice, mercy and love will soon shake the earth. Please respond, for this is the time of God's great mercy to mankind. Amen.

Message From Mother Mary
February 1, 2008
7:05 AM

Son, your confusion about certain matters of the faith will not linger long as your Mother will help you thresh out conflicting thoughts and help you arrive at the truth the truth that the Father wants imparted.

No messenger is absolutely infallible. Absolute perfection in this life is very difficult to acquire by anyone, hence the understanding that some leeway must be accorded each messenger. Perfect knowledge is in heaven but this does not mean that one who keeps striving to know the truth will not find it while in this life, for it is written, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, the door shall be opened. The seeker of truth finds the truth.

Strive for love then for even if knowledge is imperfect, love covers the imperfection, nullifies the effects of sins confessed and yes, leads to the truth.

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 04 - LOVE ALL WITH MY LOVE "The Eucharist is the source and nourishment of every priestly and religious vocation" Pope John Paul II, Feb 1, 2005 Mother Teresa Faith is a gift from God.When God comes to you or you go to God, then you will have the chance to accept Him or reject Him.Accepting Him is the gift of faith.  Padre Pio -  Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips but with your heart; in fact on certain occasions you should speak to Him only with your heart. Archbishop Fulton Sheen -  "Wings of aspiration""The nation of tomorrow is the youth of today. They are the assurance of progress; the fresh arrows to a better future; the wings of aspiration.  Even in war the strength of a nation is not in its bombs, but in the soldiers, who defend it. In peace, it is not economics or politics that save, but good economists and good politicians - to be that, they must be good children. To be that, there must in the first place be the grace of God; in the second place, in the home lessons of love and truth; in the schools, knowledge and self-control."  St. Faustina's diary  No one can comprehend what my heart feels when I meditate on the fact that God unites me with himself through the vows.  God makes known to me, even now, the immensity of the love He already had for me before time began; and as for me, I have just begun to love Him, in time. His love was [ever] great, pure and disinterested, and my love for Him comes from the fact that I am beginning to know Him.  The more I come to know Him, the more ardently, the more fiercely I love Him, and the more perfect my acts become. Meanwhile, each time I call to mind that in a few days I am to become one with the Lord through perpetual vows, a joy beyond all description floods my soul.  From the very first time that I came to know the Lord, the gaze of my soul became drowned in Him for all eternity. Each time the Lord draws close to me and my knowledge of Him grows deeper, a more perfect love grows within my soul.       (231)  Prayer during the Mass on the day of the perpetual vows. Today I place my heart on the paten where Your Heart has been placed, O Jesus, and today I offer myself together with You to God, Your Father and mine, as a sacrifice of love and praise. Father of Mercy, look upon the sacrifice of my heart, but through the wound in the Heart of Jesus.       (239)      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.  Feb 4 - LOVE ALL WITH MY LOVE  A Message from the Madonna on love: "Dear children, I am call in you to a complete surrender to God. Pray, little children, that Satan does not sway you like branches in the wind. Be strong in God. I desire that through you the whole world may get to know the God of joy. Neither be anxious nor worried. God will help you and show you the way. I want you to love all with love, both the good and the bad. Only that way will love conquer the world. (Monthly Message May 25, 1988) Christ gives us an example of indiscriminate love in this scene from Luke's gospel:  After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up, left everything, and followed him. Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting at the table with them.  The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" Jesus answered, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance" (Lk 5:27-32)  Reflection: The visit to Matthew's home hurt Jesus' reputation, yet Matthew's soul was obviously worth the price, and more. God values and loves all of us, whether saint or sinner, beyond our comprehension.  And he asks us in turn to reach out in love to others, especially the sinful and the hurting, that he might heal them through our touch. In the words of an anonymous poet: Love has a hem to its garment That touches the very dust; It can reach the stains of the streets and lanes, And because it can, it must. This is also the core of Our Lady's message today: "I want you to love all men with my love, both the good and the bad. Only that way will love conquer the world..."  Application: Let us pray with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who wrote these words while in a Nazi concentration camp: "Give me such love for you, O Lord, and for all men, as will blot out all hatred and bitterness."    Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 03 - BEGIN WORKING ON YOUR HEARTS           The Jan 31 The Presentation of the Lord"Simeon gave back Jesus to His Mother, he was only suffered to keep Him for one moment.  But we are far happier than Simeon. We may keep Him always if we will. In Communion He comes not only into our arms but into our hearts" (St. John Vianney). "Love keep Him there [in the Blessed Sacrament] as a victim completely and perpetually delivered over to sacrifice for the glory of the Father and for our salvation.  Unite yourself with Him, then, in all that you do.   Refer everything to His glory.  Set up your abode in this loving Heart of Jesus and you will there find lasting peace and strength both to bring to fruition all the good desires He inspires in you, and to avoid every deliberate fault.  Place in this Heart all your sufferings and difficulties.  Everything that comes from the Sacred Heart is sweet.  He changes everything into love." St.Margaret Mary Mother Teresa  Work cannot substitute for prayer.Nevertheless, we can learn to make work a prayer.How can we do this?By doing our work with Jesus and for Jesus. Meditations by Padre Pio -  Pray, hope and don't worry. Worry is useless.God is merciful and will hear your prayer.  Archbishop Fulton Sheen -  Nurturing with encouragement, not discouragement!"Parents hold the place of God in the home. If they act as tyrants they will develop unconsciously anti-religious sentiments in their children.  Children love approbation and can be easily cast down into despair when blamed excessively for trivial faults. With great difficulty can children ever be taught the Love and Mercy of God if His vice-regents in the home act without it and are so difficult to please.  When good intentions are rated low, and children are put under the ban of dishonor, they are likely to show they are no better than their parents think they are." St. Faustina's diary Though these [dark nights of the soul] are frightening things, the soul should not be too fearful, because God will never test us beyond what we are able to bear.  On the other hand, He may never send us such sufferings, but I write this because, if it pleases the Lord to let a soul pass through such sufferings, it should not be afraid but, insofar as this depends on the soul itself, it should remain faithful to God.  God will do a soul no harm, because He is Love itself, and in this unfathomable love has called it into being. However, when I was so tormented, I myself did not understand this.       (106)  Pure love is capable of great deeds, and it is not broken by difficulty or adversity. As it remains strong in the midst of great difficulties, so too it perseveres in the toilsome and drab life of each day. It knows that only one thing is needed to please God: to do even the smallest things out of great love - love, and always love.  Pure love never errs. Its light is strangely plentiful. It will not do anything that might displease God. It is ingenious at doing what is more pleasing to God, and no one will equal it. It is happy when it can empty itself and burn like a pure offering.  The more it gives of itself, the happier it is. But also, no one can sense dangers from afar as can love; it knows how to unmask and also knows with whom it has to deal.       (140)  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.  Feb 3 - BEGIN WORKING ON YOUR HEARTS The Blessed Virgin speaks of our hearts today:"Dear Children, there is a time for everything. Today I call you to begin working on your hearts. Now that all the work in the fields is over, you have found time to clean even the most neglected places--but you have left your hearts aside. I ask you now to work with love in cleansing the recesses of your own hearts. (Weekly Message October 17,1985) Jesus also affirms the need to cleanse our hearts: Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart comes evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person...(Mt 15:17-20) Reflection:400 years before Christ, Socrates wrote, "I pray thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within." The urgings of Christ and the Blessed Mother that we cleanse our hearts is due in part to their being the dwelling places of god himself.  In this vein the psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote, "Too few people have experienced the divine image as the innermost possession of their own souls. Christ only meets them form without, never within the heart." The great mystics of the church would agree with this. In the 16th century St. John of the Cross affirmed that, "In the center of the soul is God." His contemporary, St. Teresa of Avila, based her spiritual masterpiece The Way of Perfection on the same truth--the spiritual life was primarily a journey inward to discover the presence of God within one's soul.  It is this priceless treasure, the gift of God within that urges us to faith, to prayer, the sacraments, and to love--the means by which we cleanse our hearts for the indwelling Spirit of God. Application:In prayer today, reflect on the following: "The gift of the Holy Spirit closes the last gap between the life of God and our...When we allow the love of God to move in us, we can no longer distinguish ours and his; he becomes us, he lives us" (Austin Farrer)   For those who worry about where they will end up after life. (From the seers blog, fair usefor those in the African Diaspora who would not normally be exposed to such… 17. U.S.C.) What is an Indulgence? To understand what an indulgence is, we have to know what our sin does to ourselves and the world. When we commit sin, two things happen. First, we kill the life of grace within us. This deserves punishment. Spiritually, a sinner is a dead man, walking. Second, by removing grace from ourselves, we also remove grace from the created universe. Thus, each sin, no matter how venial, attacks both the moral order of the universe and the very material of creation itself. I.                 Forgiveness - When God pours out mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, He does something we have no right to expect He forgives our sins and restores the life of grace within us, resurrecting us from death. As a result, we must act (penance) to change our life and renew our way of living (amendment of life).  However, though we have been resurrected, we still deserve punishment for the attack we made on God's creation. Further, the horrible consequences of our attack, which removed grace from creation, continue to affect the world even if we ourselves have been healed through the sacrament. God expects us to help repair the damage. II. Repair Work - We can do this repair work either here on earth or in Purgatory. Since God intended us to live with our bodies united to our souls, it is much easier to do this repair work here. In Purgatory, our soul and body are separate. The suffering of Purgatory is always much more painful than suffering on earth because it is harder to do the necessary repair work when the body isn't around to help. III. The Storehouse - John Cardinal Newman said, The smallest venial sin rocks the foundations of the created world. That is, even our smallest sin can cause devastating consequences in creation; famine, disease, natural disaster. However, through God's grace, the holiness of even the lowliest saint far exceeds the harm even the greatest sinner can do. Further, Christ's work on the Cross is infinitely greater in merit than that of the greatest saint in Christendom, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Thus, the graces wonby Christ and the saints are an infinite treasure that can be used to heal the wounds of the world. God intends us to use this treasury indeed, we could not help wipe out the effects of our sin without the divine treasury God established. An indulgence, then, applies the graces won by Christ and the saints to the world so as to heal the wounds I caused by my sins. When I perform an indulgenced act, I act in obedience to God through His Church.  The Church responds to my obedience by making available the grace necessary to render my punishment unnecessary and heal the world. The effects of my sin in the world war, famine, disease can be brought to an end. A plenary indulgence heals all of the effects of one person's sins. A partial indulgence heals part of the effects. I can win indulgences only for myself or those in Purgatory, who have need of assistance because they currently lack bodies.  Indulgences cannot be applied towards other living persons. Every living person is supposed to do his own acts of obedience to help heal the worldly effects of his own sinfulness. (Catechism of the …Church 1471-1473) A plenary indulgence can be obtained any day of the year by doing any one of the following: Adoring the Blessed Sacrament for at least one half hour,Devoutly reading Scripture for at least one half hour,Devoutly performing the Stations of the Cross,Reciting the Rosary with members of the family, or in a church, oratory, religious community or pious association. Requirements for obtaining a plenary indulgence:Do the work while in a state of grace,Receive Sacramental confession within 20 days of the work (several plenary indulgences may be earned per reception),Receive Eucharistic communion (one plenary indulgence may be earned per reception),Pray for the pope?s intentions (Our Father and Hail Mary, or other appropriate prayer, is sufficient),Have no attachment to sin (even venial) - i.e., it is sufficient that the Christian makes an act of the will to love God and despise sin. Requirements for a partial indulgence: the work must be done while in a state of grace and with the general intention of earning an indulgence. The Four Classes of Indulgenced Works (partial indulgence)Prayer: The Christian who, during the performance of his duties and endurance of the difficulties of life, raises his mind in humility and trust to God while making, at least mentally, a pious invocation. Almsgiving: The Christian who, due to his faith, devotes himself or his possessions in loving service to men in need.Fasting: The Christian who, in penitence, voluntarily abstains from something which is permitted and pleasing.Christian Witness: The Christian who, in daily circumstances, voluntarily and publicly bears witness to the faith, particularly personal faith in the Eucharist. Notes: Only baptized persons in a state of grace who generally intend to do so may earn indulgences.Indulgences cannot be applied to the living, but only to the one doing the work or to the dead. Only one plenary indulgence per day can be earned (except for prayer at the hour of one?s own death).Several partial indulgences can be earned during the same day. If only part of a work with plenary indulgence attached is completed, a partial indulgence still obtains.If the penance assigned in confession has indulgences attached, the one work can satisfy both penance and indulgence. Confessors may commute the work or the conditions if the penitent cannot perform them due to legitimate obstacles.In groups, indulgenced prayer must be recited by at least one member while the others at least mentally follow the prayer. If speech/hearing impairments make recitation impossible, mental expression or reading of the prayer is sufficient.For an indulgence attached to a particular day requiring a church visit, the day begins at noon the day before and ends at midnight. Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue with Your help,so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be happily ended.We ask this through Christ our Lord.Amen. NORMS ON INDULGENCES From http://www.dominicanidaho.org/indulg.html Fair use 127 U.S.C. for those in the African Diaspora who would not normally be exposed to such 1. An indulgence is the remission before God of the temporal punishment due forsins already forgiven as far as their guilt is concerned. This remission thefaithful with the proper dispositions and under certain determined conditionsacquire through the intervention of the Church which, as minister of theRedemption, authoritatively dispenses and applies the treasury of thesatisfaction won by Christ and the Saints. 2. An indulgence is partial or plenary, according as it removes either part orall of the temporal punishment due for sin. 3. No one, acquiring indulgences, can apply them to other living persons. 4. Partial as well as plenary indulgences can always be applied to the departedby way of suffrage. 5. The grant of a partial indulgence is designated only with the words "partialindulgence," without any determination of days or years. 6. The faithful, who at least with contrite heart perform an action to which apartial indulgence is attached, obtain, in addition to the remission of temporalpunishment acquired by the action itself, an equal remission of punishmentthrough the intervention of the Church. 7. The division of indulgences into "personal," "real" and "local" is abolished,so as to make it clearer that indulgences are attached to the actions of thefaithful, even though at times they may be linked with some object or place. 8. Besides the Archbishop of Rome, to whom the dispensation of the whole spiritualtreasury of the Church has been entrusted by Christ our Lord, they only cangrant indulgences by ordinary power, to whom this is expressly conceded by law. 9. In the Roman Curia, whatever pertains to the granting and use of indulgencesis committed to the Sacred Penitentiary exclusively, saving the right of theCongregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to examine whatever pertains todogmatic teaching concerning indulgences. 10. No one below the  Archbishop of Rome can:1. Give to others the faculty of granting indulgences, unless he has this rightby express indult from the Apostolic See; 2. Add another indulgence to a workalready indulgenced by the Apostolic See or by someone else, unless newconditions to be fulfilled are prescribed. 11. Diocesan Bishops, and others equated to them in law, have the right fromentrance upon their pastoral office:1. To grant a partial indulgence to persons or in places under theirjurisdiction; 2. To impart in their respective dioceses, according to theprescribed formula, the Papal Blessing with a plenary indulgence three times ayear on solemn feasts of their own choice, even if they only assist at thesolemn Mass. 12. Metropolitans can grant a partial indulgence in their suffragan Sees, as intheir proper diocese. 13. Patriarchs can grant a partial indulgence in each place, even if exempt, oftheir respective patriarchates, in churches of their rite outside the territoryof their patriarchates, and to the faithful of their rite everywhere. MajorArchbishops have the same faculty. 14. Cardinals have the faculty of granting a partial indulgence in places or toinstitutes or persons under their jurisdiction or protection; in other placesalso, but only to persons present and for that time only. 15.1. All books of indulgences, as well as pamphlets, leaflets and the like, whosecontents include grants of indulgences, may not be published without thepermission of the Ordinary or Hierarch of the place. 2. The express permissionof the Apostolic See is required to print and publish in any language theauthentic collection of prayers and pious works, to which the Apostolic See hasattached indulgences. 16, Those who have asked and obtained from the Archbishop of Rome grants ofindulgences for all the faithful are obliged, under penalty of nullity of thefavor thus obtained, to submit to the Sacred Penitentiary authentic copies ofthese same grants. 17. If a feast or its external solemnity is legitimately transferred, it isunderstood that an indulgence, attached to the feast, is transferred to the sameday. 18. A visit to a church or oratory, if required to gain an indulgence attachedto a certain day, can be made from noon of the preceding day to midnight at theclose of the day itself. 19. The faithful, who devoutly use an article of devotion (crucifix or cross,rosary, scapular or medal) properly blessed by any priest, obtain a partialindulgence. But if the article of devotion has been blessed by the Sovereign Pontiff or byany Bishop, the faithful, using it devoutly, can also gain a plenary indulgenceon the feast of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, provided they also make aprofession of faith according to any legitimate formula. 20.1. Indulgences attached to a visit to a church do not cease if the church istotally destroyed, provided the church is rebuilt within fifty years in the sameor almost the same place and under the same title. 2. An indulgence attached tothe use of an article of devotion only ceases, when the article is completelydestroyed or is sold. 21. Holy Mother Church, extremely solicitous for the faithful departed, hasdecided to apply suffrages to them as abundantly as possible in every Sacrificeof the Mass, abolishing every particular privilege in this regard. 22.1. To be capable of gaining an indulgence for oneself, it is required that onebe baptized, not excommunicated, in the state of grace at least at thecompletion of the prescribed works, and a subject of the one granting theindulgence. 2. In order that one who is capable may actually gain indulgences,one must have at least a general intention to gain them and must in accordancewith the tenor of the grant perform the enjoined works at the time and in themanner prescribed. 23. Unless the tenor of the grant clearly indicates otherwise, indulgencesgranted by a Bishop can be gained by his subjects even outside his territory andby others within his territory who are exempt or who have or do not have adomicile elsewhere. 24.1. A plenary indulgence can be acquired once only in the course of a day. 2. Butone can obtain the plenary indulgence for the moment of death, even if anotherplenary indulgence had already been acquired on the same day. 3. A partialindulgence can be acquired more than once a day, unless otherwise expresslyindicated. 25. The work prescribed for acquiring a plenary indulgence connected with achurch or oratory consists in a devout visit and the recitation during the visitof one Our Father and the Creed. 26. To acquire a plenary indulgence it is necessary to perform the work to whichthe indulgence is attached and to fulfill the following three conditions:sacramental confession, eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention ofthe Sovereign Pontiff. It is further required that all attachment to sin, evenvenial sin. be absent. If the latter disposition is in any way less than perfect or if the prescribedthree conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence will be partial only, savingthe provisions given below in Norm 34 and in Norm 35 concerning those who are"impeded." 27. The three conditions may be fulfilled several days before or after theperformance of the prescribed work; it is, however, fitting that Communion bereceived and the prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff be said onthe same day the work is performed. 28. A single sacramental confession suffices for gaining several plenaryindulgences; but Communion must be received and prayer for the intention of theHead of the Church must be recited for the gaining of each plenary indulgence. 29. The condition of praying for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff is fullysatisfied by reciting one Our Father and one Hail Mary; nevertheless, each oneis free to recite any other prayer according to his piety and devotion. 30. The norms regarding plenary indulgences, particularly the one stated abovein Norm 24, 1, apply also to what up to now have been customarily called "totiesquoties" ["as often as"] plenary indulgences. 31. An indulgence cannot be gained by a work, to which one is obliged by law orprecept. unless the contrary is expressly stated in the grant; one, however, whoperforms a work which has been imposed as a sacramental penance and whichhappens to be one enriched with an indulgence, can at the same time both satisfythe penance and gain the indulgence. 32. An indulgence attached to a prayer can be acquired by reciting the prayer inany language, provided the fidelity of the translation is vouched for by adeclaration either of the Sacred Penitentiary or of any Ordinary or Hierarch ofthose places, where the language of the translation is the one commonly spoken. 33. To gain an indulgence attached to a prayer, it is sufficient to recite theprayer alternately with a companion or to follow it mentally while it is beingrecited by another. 34. Confessors can commute either the prescribed work or conditions, in favor ofthose who, because of a legitimate impediment, cannot perform the work orfulfill the conditions. 35. Local Ordinaries or Hierarchs, moreover, can grant to the faithful, overwhom they exercise legitimate authority and who live in places where it isimpossible or at least very difficult to go to confession or Communion,permission to gain a plenary indulgence without confession and Communion,provided they have true contrition for their sins and have the intention ofreceiving these Sacraments as soon as possible. 36. The deaf and dumb can gain indulgences attached to public prayers, if theydevoutly raise their mind and affections to God, while others of the faithfulare reciting the prayers in the same place; for private prayers it suffices, ifthey recite them mentally or with signs, or if they merely read them with theireyes.     Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue with Yourhelp,so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be happily ended.We ask this through Christ our Lord.Amen.

Message from Jesus
February 1, 2008
6:45 AM

Son, I speak of words that nourish the health of the soul.

My presence in people who have acknowledged my sacrifice, repented of their sins
and accepted me into their hearts is the joy of salvation I promised in my
words.

My abiding presence in each person manifests thru acts of mercy, love,compassion, justice, perseverance, patience, purity of thoughts and desires,prayerfulness, a forgiving heart, eyes that refuse temptation, lips that speak no lies, slander, gossip but instead words that build up and not tear down, hearts that respond in sympathy to the sad plight of others..

My favor naturally rests on these my children who have disassociated themselves from the ways of the world to conform to my Father's will. To them, I come not as a thief in the night but as the coming groom whose appearance has been keenly
awaited by my children. The wedding date has been set. Prepare your garments worthy as a guest to seat in my banquet.

Message from GOD THE FATHER

To THE WORLD

April 13, 2007 through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.

 

(St. Gabriel, St. Raphael, St. Michael the Archangel are here.  St. Raphael is on His left side, St. Gabriel is by the throne, and St. Michael is on the right side, and God the Father is seated on a big white throne.  His body is that of a man’s body, white stone throne, white gown, and His face is just pure light!  He says,)

 

My dear and beloved children of My earth,

Today, I come to call you to the devotion that is most pleasing to me, the devotion to My Fatherly Sacred Heart.  On this day, on this great and glorious day, I desire to accomplish My works and this devotion within all men through you.

 

But first, it is necessary that I request two things from this world and mankind to make this devotion work.  Number one, I request the month of August to be devoted to My Fatherly Sacred Heart.  On this day, I desire number two, that you pray the Consecration to My Fatherly Sacred Heart* every day in August.  I desire this to be made known to the world so that one day, through My blessings and the many fruits that it will bear, that the Church itself will approve this devotion later on and make use of this month totally and completely devoted to my heart.  Yes, it is also the month devoted to Me as the Most Merciful and Loving of All Fathers, but this month is also the month of My Fatherly Sacred Heart.  Let all men draw from it mercy, love, and compassion which I desire to give to humanity in order to save it, not only from it’s sins, but from evil, despair, and hopelessness.

 

I have given to you My Son.  He has given to you His heart.  He has also given to you His Most Holy Mother to be your mother, and she has given her Immaculate Heart to humanity.  Now I, as the most loving, and most merciful of all fathers, give My heart to humanity in order to save it.  By these three means shall all humanity receive graces.  By these three hearts, humanity shall be saved.

 

My message is not only on My Fatherly Sacred Heart, it is also to call you to action.  You have four devotions** at your disposal.  One, the Chaste Heart of St. Joseph which is to be made on the first Wednesdays of five consecutive months (March through July).  Two, the Sacred Heart of Jesus which is to be made known on the first Fridays of nine consecutive months.  Then, there is the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the devotion of the  first Saturdays can be made in any five consecutive months.  And then there are eight first Mondays (April through November) devoted to My Fatherly Sacred Heart.  I desire to call humanity to action by participation in these four “first of the month ” devotions.

 

You can avoid Purgatory all together by making these four “first of the month” devotions yours, devotion to these hearts.  You see, in each instance, I call you to reparation, to sacrifices.  I call you to reparation for your own sins and for those of the whole world.  Therefore, you can make your Purgatory, or your penance so to speak, while on earth by making the four “first of the month” devotions your own.

 

Go, My little ones, to these devotions.  If they do not exist within your parish, ask your priest, pray for them, beg that these devotions be given to the world. Through Confession and reparation of sins you will be absolutely free from all the effects of Purgatory.  This is the promise of the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for did not your mother say to Sr. Lucia that she promises to assist at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation.   This is the promise for each devotion to these four hearts and the “first of the month” devotions.

 

I love you, my little ones.  I call you to My heart.  Be My children!  Be My children!  Be My children by consecrating yourself and your life to My Fatherly Sacred Heart.  Make the month of August the month devoted and dedicated to My Fatherly Sacred Heart.

 

Bless you, my little ones. (There’s His Fatherly Sacred Heart!!) with rays of love from My Fatherly Sacred Heart.  Peace be with you, little ones, blessings in the name of the Father, which is Me, and of the Son who shall come later, the Holy Spirit who accompanies us, and the Blessed Mother who shall come later.  Amen.  Go in My divine peace, and remember, I shall return next year at this same place and time.

*CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF GOD THE FATHER

(To be prayed every day in August)

“Our Father Who resides in Heaven, I approach Your throne and ask that You give to me the grace of abiding within Your Most Sacred Heart.  I promise to love Thee and adore Thee with all my heart and soul.  O Mighty Father, love me and let me love you so that I may also be one in Your Most Holy Will.  You, O God, are my Creator and my Father of Mercy and Love, and it is in Thee that I do trust that Thy love becomes my own, and that Thy Will becomes my will, and that I may live to do Thy Will, not just in this world, but in the next.  O Most Merciful and Loving Heart of the Father, I love and trust in Thee through Jesus Christ Your Son.  Ahmen or Amen,” (whichever one you prefer.)    (Jesus in Lesson 11, April 23, 2001)

Prayers/Novena for your country

Resend--Given the last 2 messages I just sent out I thought this was a good time
to resend these prayers. Joyce



The Novena in Honor of
Jesus as True King

This simple Novena is a most generous gift from Our Lord. Jesus gave these
extraordinary promises:

"I promise you that every time you say these Novena prayers I will convert ten
sinners, bring ten souls into the One True Faith, release ten souls from
Purgatory, many of whom are the souls of priests, and be less severe in My
judgment of your nation."


The Novena consists of praying once a day over a period of nine days a set of
one OUR FATHER, one HAIL MARY and one GLORY BE, recited along with the following
Novena Prayer:

O Lord our God, You alone are the Most Holy King and Ruler of all nations. We
pray to You, Lord, in the great expectation of receiving from You, O Divine
King, mercy, peace, justice and all good things.

Protect, O Lord our King, our families and the land of our birth. Guard us, we
pray, Most Faithful One! Protect us from our enemies and from Your Just
Judgment.

Forgive us, O Sovereign King, our sins against You. Jesus, You are King of
Mercy. We have deserved Your Just Judgment. Have mercy on us, Lord, and
forgive us.
We trust in Your Great Mercy.

O most awe-inspiring King, we bow before You and pray; may Your Reign, Your
Kingdom, be recognized on earth!
Amen.

Jesus said, "I desire that this Novena be prayed on the nine days preceding My
Feast of Christ the King, but I encourage souls to pray this Novena at any time
throughout the year. My promises will be granted whenever it is prayed."

"FOR ONE'S COUNTRY"



(Prayer by St. Faustina)



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.



[The moment St. Faustina said this prayer, she saw Jesus, His eyes filled with
tears; and He said to her: "You see, My daughter, what great compassion I have
for them. Know that it is they who uphold the world."]

Spe Salve - Pope Benedict XVI Encylical on Hope

The heavens are not empty and life does not end in nothingness. Faith in Gods xistence is the origin of Christian hope, it gives meaning to our existence the xistence of each person and everyone togetherand it allows us to look beyond ear towards the Last Judgment.

In his 2nd encyclical Spe Salvi (Saved in Hope) Pope Benedict XV affirms that he current faith in scientific progress and contesting of Gods existence based n the injustices of this world, are incapable of giving a true answer to mans uestions on the future. Hope is learned and exercised in places of Prayer, ction, sufferance and waiting for Gods Judgment. (Asia News11-30-07)

Over the next 7 weeks this new encyclical will be provided in its entirety, but n several parts to encourage those, who might not otherwise take the time to ead it, to ponder the mystery of Hope in Gods Plan of salvation.

Prophecy Meditations

Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle.

On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to service.

February 1, 2008

 Jesus

My friend, heaven has accomplished many things with your service to the Kingdom.  Shall I tell you what we are achieving together?

First of all, we have increased your holiness.  It is true, dear apostle.  With your cooperation, I have been able to advance you in virtue.  Consider where you were in the holiness walk when you first committed to serving as My apostle.

Consider where you are now.  You will see that you have advanced, even though you also see that you have additional work to do in this regard.  I want you to understand, though, that progress has been made so that you will rejoice and have hope for additional progress.  This is good for you and good for heaven.

 Next, your service to the Kingdom has been used to bring light to other souls.  Think for a moment.  Is it not true that you have tried to treat others more like I treated others?  Is it not true that there have been times when you returned love for hostility?  Have you not discovered that you view even your enemies with greater compassion?

Think dear apostles.  Have you shared My merciful message with others?
Have they benefited?  Without your cooperation, this could not have happened.

Yes, many have benefited because you have chosen to serve Me.  Would you like to know of another result of your service?  Heaven, as you know, is filled with perfect love and comfort.  I love all of humanity, of course, but not everyone returns My love.  Because of your cooperation, I, Jesus Christ, have received a greater amount of love and comfort from your world.

You, in your determination to serve Me, have bestowed upon Me the greatest consolations.  The light from your willingness to serve as I wish you to serve has given Me comfort in a time when My heart aches with loneliness for so many.

  You have truly become My friend and I hold you in My heart most protectively.  All of the intentions in your heart now move to the regular beating of My heart.  I will not abandon you and I will not abandon your intentions. 

 

Together, we will see to each one of them.  The loyalty you feel for your loved ones is shared by Me in that your holy desires become personal to Me as they are personal to you.

 Just as you are determined that your loved ones be healed, so I am determined that your loved ones be healed.  These are joint projects embarked upon by the Saviour and His beloved apostle. 

 

You are never alone in your concerns or your crosses.  I thank you for helping heaven to accomplish so much and I will reward you, in part, by keeping the promise I have made to seek conversion of all of those dear to you.  Be at peace in every trial, please, because I am with you.




Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 02 - THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
"After partaking of the Living Bread, remember what our Lady must have felt when the Holy Spirit overpowered her, and she who was full of grace became full with the body of Christ" (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).
 
"The only way to fail is to stop." St. Teresa of Avila
"O my God, when Thou dost condescend to suffer me to receive Thee, to eat and drink Thee, and Thou for awhile takest up Thy abode within me, O make my heart beat with Thy Heart." (Cardinal Newman)
Mother Teresa -  

We must join our prayer with work. How is it possible to change one's work into a prayer?

Meditations by Padre Pio -
I want to be only a poor friar who prays… God sees blemishes even in the angels, can you imagine what He sees in me!

 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
We must treasure our parental duty

"What if God placed a precious diamond in the hands of parents and told them to inscribe on it a sentence which would be read on the Last Day, and shown as an index of their thoughts and ideals?

 

What caution they would exercise in their selection! And yet the example parents give their children will be that by which they will be judged on the Last Day."

St. Faustina's diary  

O my Jesus, You are the life of my life. You know only too well that I long for nothing but the glory of Your Name and that souls come to know Your goodness. Why do souls avoid You, Jesus?-I don't understand that.

 

Oh, if I could only cut my heart into tiny pieces and in this way offer to You, O Jesus, each piece as a heart whole and entire, to make up in part for the hearts that do not love You! I love You, Jesus, with every drop of my blood, and I would gladly shed my blood for You to give You a proof of the sincerity of my love.

O God, the more I know You the less I can comprehend You, but this "non-comprehension" lets me realize how great You are!

 

And it is this impossibility of comprehending You which enflames my heart anew for You, O Lord. From the moment when You let me fix the eyes of my soul on You, O Jesus, I have been at peace and desired nothing else.

 

I found my destiny at the moment when my soul lost itself in You, the only object of my love. In comparison with You, everything is nothing. Sufferings, adversities, humiliations, failures, and suspicions that have come my way are splinters that keep alive the fire of my love for You, O Jesus...      (57)

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.
 

Feb 2 - THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD

On the feast of the Presentation, Our Lady seeks to present us to God:

"Dear children, again today, I invite you to abandon yourself completely to me. Only then, in turn, can I present each of you to God. Dear children, you know that I love you immeasurably, and I wish each of you to be mine. But God gives everyone freedom, which I lovingly respect, and to which I humbly submit.

Dear children, I wish that God's plan regarding this parish be realized. But, if you do not pray, you will not be able to recognize my love, nor God's plan for this parish, and for each of you.

Pray that Satan does not entice you with his pride and deceptive strength. I am with you and want you to believe that I love you. (Monthly Message November 25, 1987)

From St.Luke, the story of the Presentation:

When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon...Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God saying, "Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel." (Lk 2:22-32)

Reflection:

From a sermon by St. Sophronius, the 7th century bishop: "Rejoicing with old Simeon with the Christ child in his arms, let us sing a hymn of thanksgiving to God, the Father of Light, who sent the true Light to dispel the darkness and to give us all a share in his splendor."

 

This is a day of joy, for the Lord was presented to God in the temple, and by extension, presented to his people of Israel and to all humankind. The Son of God is among us !

As a baby, Jesus was of course small and vulnerable when he presented by Mary and Joseph. In the same way, we are called to become open and vulnerable in order to present ourselves to the Lord.

 

The Blessed Virgin urges us to give up our false security in material things so that, like a child, we become dependent on our parent, on God, for our safety and security to let go and let God.

In such a way, Our Lady can then ask us "to decide to surrender again everything completely to me... Only that way will I be able to present each of you to God."

Application:

So that Mary can present us to the Lord, let us now present and dedicate ourselves to her through the prayer of consecration she gave to Jelena:

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 01 - PRAY FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT

God remembers His promises.  Delay is not denial.
Prayer for Priests by St. Therese of Lisieux
O Jesus, eternal Priest, keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred
Heart, where none may touch them. 

 

Keep unstained their anointed hands, which
daily touch Your Sacred Body.  Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with
your Precious Blood.  Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the
sublime mark of the priesthood. 

 

Let Your holy love surround them and shield
them from the world's contagion.  Bless their labors with abundant fruit and
may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and in
heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown.  Amen.

Mother Teresa -  

It is possible that I may not be able to keep my attention fully on God while I work, but God doesn't demand that I do so. Yet I can fully desire and intend that my work be done with Jesus and for Jesus.

This is beautiful and what God wants.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
Prayer is the effusion of our heart into God's… when it is well done, it moves the Divine Heart and makes Him always more inclined to grant our requests.

 

Let us pour out our whole soul to God in prayer. He is captivated by our prayers and comes to our aid.

 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Parenting can be God's kiln of kindness

"The duty of parents to children is to rule while avoiding exasperating severity on the one hand and excessive indulgences on the other. God gives parents a child as so much plastic material that can be molded for good or evil."

St. Faustina's diary At present, the topic of my particular examen is my union with the Merciful Christ. This practice gives me unusual strength; my heart is always united with the One it desires, and its actions are regulated by mercy, which flows from love.       (703)

Today I received a letter from Father Sopocko. I learned that he intends to publish a holy card of the Merciful Christ. He asked me to send him a certain prayer which he wants to put on the back, if he receives the Archbishop's approbation.

 

Oh, what great joy fills my heart that God has let me see this work of His mercy! How great is this work of the Most High God! I am but His instrument. Oh, how ardently I desire to see this Feast of the Divine Mercy which God is demanding through me.

 

But if it is the will of God that it be celebrated solemnly only after my death, even so I rejoice in it already, and I celebrate it interiorly with my confessor's permission.       (711)

Feb 1 -  PRAY FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT

Today Our Lady speaks of the Holy Spirit :

Dear children, during these days of the Pentecost novena, pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on your families and on your parish.

You will never regret prayer. God will give you the gifts by which you will glorify him until the end of your life on earth (Weekly Message June 2, 1984).

And in Galatians, Paul speaks of the Spirit's gifts :

Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law (Gal 5 :16-18).

Reflection :

Echoing the Blessed Mother and St.Paul, Pope Leo XIII once wrote : "Each one of us greatly needs the protection and help of the Holy Spirit.

 

The more one is lacking in wisdom, weak in strength, born down with trouble, prone to sin, the more he ought to fly to him who is the never-ceasing fount of light, strength, consolation, and holiness. "

With this encouragement, let us offer this prayer for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit :

O Lord Jesus Christ, who, before ascending into heaven, did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish your work in the souls of your apostles and disciples deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, to perfect in my soul the work of your grace and your love.

Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom, that I many not be attached to the perishable things of this world, but aspire only after the things that are eternal. The Spirit of Understanding, to enlighten my mind with the light of Your divine truth.

 

The Spirit of Counsel, that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining heaven. The Spirit of Fortitude, that I may bear my cross with you, and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation.

The Spirit of Knowledge, that I may know God and know myself, and grow perfect in the science of the saints. The Spirit of Piety, that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable.

The Spirit of Fear, that I may be filled with a loving reverence toward God and may avoid anything that may displease him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of your true disciples, and animate me in all things with your Spirit. Amen.

Application :

Add to your daily prayers a petition for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady encourages us today.

Apostolate of Green Scapular Jan.30,2008 Urgent!


Dated 12/4/2006


Apostolate of the Green Scapular www.greenscapular.org

MESSAGE FROM JESUS CHRIST
REGUARDING FUTURE ATTACK BEING PLANNED
JANUARY 30, 2008 AT 12:01 A.M.

Anna Marie: My Lord, I heard your calling and am ready now to speak with you.
My Lord are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?

Jesus: My dear one, it is I your Lord God and Savior Jesus.

Anna Marie: My Jesus, may I ask, will you bow down and worship God your Eternal
and Holy Father who is the Alpha and Omega the Creator of all life, of all that
is seen and unseen?

Jesus: Yes, my little one, I your Savior Jesus will now and will always bow down
and worship my Holy and Eternal Merciful Father in Heaven who is the Alpha and
Omega. Who is the Creator of all living things, seen and unseen.

Anna Marie: Yes Jesus, please speak for your sinful servant is listening.

Jesus: Beloved one, I know that you are busy doing your busywork , but I ask you now to pray for your country.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.

Jesus: There is an attack planned against your nation that must be prayed for! Many will be hurt if prayers are not given quickly to mitigate this event.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord. My Lord, can I place it on Mother's blessed Green Scapular?

Jesus: Yes, this you MUST do, she will work hard on the disruption of its planning and execution.

Anna Marie: My Lord, won't you please stop this event? Can't you see how much others are praying for this nation. We love America, we love our country though certainly it has sinned against the HolyMajesty of Mercy: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. My Lord, forgive this nation and
protect it.

My Lord, if only you would come soon, then everyone would see that you are Lord. Why must we wait longer Jesus, we need you now to come and save your suffering people.

Jesus: Dear one, I know this is true, but it is in my Father's time not in yours when I shall return to judge the living and the dead.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, are you speaking of the judgment?

Jesus: Yes.

Anna Marie: My Lord, what about the Warning from Heaven  Will you not allow us to receive this great Warning  to experience the prophecy?

Until that moment in time, dear one, please ask others to pray for this nation. Ask my beloved children around the world to pray for
their countries and for countries around the world. It is so important that
they do this. In doing so, they reap the grace of mercy, from my Father's mercy, upon their lives.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord. Thank you my Lord.

Anna Marie: My Lord, is there any explanation about the disruption of the earth,the earthquake that I was shown in a vision? I have placed it on
Mother' s blessed Green Scapular.

Jesus: No, just know that it is in the creation and will take place when my Father wills it to take place.

Anna Marie: Yes Jesus. Thank you Jesus. My Lord, is there anything else?

Jesus: Yes, just tell my beloved Apostles that I their Savior Jesus love them greatly and it is by their prayers and reverent lives that they are trying to lead that will save them from certain destruction and catastrophies.

Anna Marie: Yes my Lord. Thank you my Jesus. We love you so much Jesus.

Jesus: I love you too dear daughter. Peace now, I am with you always.

Anna Marie: Thank you Jesus.

Patsy Soto-Jesus Words to His Little Children Rosary"

November 27, 2007 - Tuesday
9:00 pm Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto

Approved by Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette Spiritual Director For Art and Patsy Soto
and Rev. Fr. William Lauriola Spiritual Advisor for His Teachings' Ministry

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. First is God Father, who was, is and and always will be.

 

God the
Father is also the Creator which means God the Father is the one who made you.
You see my little children, God the Father loved so much that He wanted to
share this love so He Made Man and Woman to share this love with.

 

There is also
God the Son which is who I AM. I am also called Jesus. I AM God the Father's
Son. God the Father invited me to come to earth as man so that all in the
world could be saved. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Blessed
Trinity, which is what we, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are called.

 

The Holy Spirit was sent to live inside of all who would truly follow Me your
Jesus of Mercy. I asked God the Father to please give all of those who would be
My Followers someone else to help them.

 

You are My Follower and so the Holy
Spirit will live in your soul forever if you let Him. This is why it is so
important that souls not have sin. Sin is when someone does something that is
wrong. The Holy Spirit tells people's hearts about the truth of Me your Jesus
Christ.


The Holy Spirit also acts as a Christian's teacher (1Cor. 2:9-14). He reveals
God's will and God's truth which means The Holy Spirit will show you in your
heart God's will and God's Truth.

 

The Holy Spirit will also let you feel in
your heart when something is not good and not from God. God the Father chose a
special Woman to be My Holy Mother on earth and her name is Mary. 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. I
also ask that you put me in your daily work and play and you will see that I
will be with you.

 

I will teach you if you come every day in prayer to me. I
love you and I bless each one of you and you family. Your Jesus of Mercy

These words below are for your parents to read so that they can also teach you
in words that you can understand and then begin to share with each other the
story of My Life in My Holy Mother's Rosary.


GOD THE FATHER

Your New Relationship With God
As you begin your new life as God's child, you will have the privilege of
getting to know Him as your Father. You are now part of His incredible family!
By faith in Jesus Christ, you can be assured of the following truths...

1.You Are God's Child - John 1:12-13
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the
right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of
human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. (NIV Bible)

2. God Loves You - 1 John 3:1
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called
the children of God! And that is what we are! (NIV Bible)

3. You Have The Assurance Of Eternal Life - John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV Bible)

4. He Put His Holy Spirit In You - 2 Corinthians 1:21-21
"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,
set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit
guaranteeing what is to come.

5. You Can Talk Directly To God - Matthew 7:7-11
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door
will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds, and
to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for
bread, will give him a stone?

 

Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
(NIV Bible)

6. Nothing Will Ever Separate You From His Love - Romans 8:38
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus


To describe God we use the word attributes. These are the perfections that He
has, which we attribute to Him by comparison with creatures.

 

Some of His
attributes belong to Him by His very nature; others belong to Him in relation to
the world He made.
The chief attributes that are His by His very nature are His unchangeability and
eternity. He is unchangeable.

 

Since He has the fullness of being, He could not
change into anything higher or better, or acquire anything: "I, the Lord, do not
change," He said through the prophet Malachi (3:6). We call Him eternal, not in
the sense that there always was time, and in it He always was. No, since He is
unchangeable there is no past or future for Him: all is one unchanging present.

 

So when we say that He made the world--a past expression--to His divine mind it
registers as present! "Before the mountains were born, before you brought forth
the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are, O God" (Psalm
90:2).

There are attributes that follow upon God's relation to this world. He is
omnipotent or almighty because "nothing is impossible to God" (Luke 1:37).


The book of Sirach 23:20 says: "Before they were made, all things were known to
Him." So He is all-knowing, or omniscient. We say He is present everywhere. In
Jeremiah 23:24 He said: "Do I not fill heaven and earth?"

 

Yet He is not present
in the sense of taking up space, as we do: we say a Spirit is present wherever
it causes an effect. He caused all things to come into being, and keeps them in
being. Since He rewards good and punishes evil we call Him all-just. St. Paul
wrote (Romans 2:6): "He will repay each one according to his works."

 

He guides
and directs the paths of all creatures, and hence the First Epistle of Peter 5:7
can say: "Cast all your care upon Him, for He takes care of you". He is all-good
since He is the author of everything that is good, and wills eternal good to us.

 

Psalm 136:1, "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good."
It is strictly correct to say that God is love, since if we said that He has
love, there would be a duality, two. But He is totally unity. He is identified
with each of His attributes. So He is mercy, He is justice, and therefore in
some way, mercy and justice are identified in Him. His justice is His mercy is
Himself, and so on for all His attributes.

GOD THE SON
Jesus Christ, God and Man
Jesus Christ is the Redeemer promised to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:15, the only
Son of God, and by that very fact, Lord of all Creation. He is the second Person
of the Holy Trinity, sent to the world by the Father to become man and save us
from our sins.

 

So St. Peter said in Matthew 16:16: "You are the Christ, the son
of the Living God". The name Jesus means Savior, as we see from Matthew 1:2. The
name "Christ," "Messiah" in Hebrew, means the Anointed one (cf. Acts 10:38).

 

Jesus is God
"And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us" wrote St. John (1:14). So, the
Second Person of the Holy Trinity assumed human nature. Jesus Christ is the Son
of God, the Divine Word of whom John wrote, "In the beginning was the Word; the
Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).

 

He Became Man
"In the fulness of time, God sent his Son, born of a woman" (Gal 4:4). In order
to become a member of the human race in the fullest sense, the Second Person of
the Trinity became man by being born of a human woman, Mary.

 

He was conceived by
her without the help of a human father, but rather, by the power of the Holy
Spirit.

 

Thus, the God-man Jesus Christ had only God as His Father, and the
Virgin Mary as His Mother. (See the section on Mary, the Mother of God.)

JESUS AS A TEACHER

 

We can easily see He was not the same as other great religious teachers. He not
only worked miracles that could be authenticated, but worked them in contexts
such that there was a tie established between the miracle and the claim, as we
see in the healing of the paralytic in Mark 2.

 

He foretold His own resurrection;
He lived a life of such holiness that He could challenge people: "Which of you
can convict me of sin?" (John 8:46). Hardly anyone else would dare to give such
a challenge!


His teaching rested not on human reasoning but on the divine authority which He
claimed, e.g., when He said several times over: "You have heard it was said to
them of old... but I say to you" (Matthew 5:27-44). He inspired His followers to
follow Him even to dreadful deaths.

 

If someone objects: other religions have had
martyrs too - correct. But not one of them can provide the solid support of data
that we can, as shown in our sketch of apologetics in part one.

 

Jesus as Redeemer
However, the chief reason that God became man was to redeem us from sin, that
is, to pay the debt of our sins, as Leo the Great said (Letter to Flavian, June
13, 449).

 

We read in the Epistle to the Ephesians (2:4-5): "God, being rich in
mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead
in our transgressions, made us alive again together with Christ."
Jesus as Founder
He founded a Church whose doctrine can and does develop in the same line, that
is, without reversing any previous teaching, over all centuries.

 

He made clear
that this was the divinely given means of getting peace in this life and eternal
salvation in the world to come.

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

 

Q: "Who or what is the Holy Spirit? I've seen this name/phrae in a few places."
our A: The Holy Spirit is a real person who came to reside within Jesus Christ's
true followers after Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven (Acts 2).
Jesus told His apostles...

 

"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with
you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does
not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and
will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." (John
14:16-18)

 

The Holy Spirit is not a vague, ethereal shadow, nor an impersonal force. He is
a person equal in every way with God the Father and God the Son.

 

He is
considered to be the third member of the Godhead. Jesus said to His apostles...
"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

 

Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matt. 28:18-20)

God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And all the divine attributes ascribed to
the Father and the Son are equally ascribed to the Holy Spirit.

 

When a person
becomes born again by believing and receiving Jesus Christ (John 1:12-13; John
3:3-21), God resides in that person through the Holy Spirit (1Cor. 3:16).

 

The
Holy Spirit has intellect (1Cor. 2:11), emotion (Rom. 15:30), and will (1Cor.
12:11).


A primary role of the Holy Spirit is that He bears "witness" of Jesus Christ
(John 15:26, 16:14). He tells people's hearts about the truth of Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit also acts as a Christian's teacher (1Cor. 2:9-14).

 

He reveals
God's will and God's truth to a
Christian. Jesus told His disciples...

 

"The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will
teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."
(John 14:26)

 

"When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for
He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak;
and He will disclose to you what is to come." (John 16:13)

 

The Holy Spirit was given to live inside those who believe in Jesus, in order to
produce God's character in the life of a believer. In a way that we cannot do on
our own, the Holy Spirit will build into our lives love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23).

 

Rather than trying to be loving, patient, kind, God asks us to rely on Him to
produce these qualities in our lives. Thus Christians are told to walk in the
Spirit (Gal. 5:25) and be filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18).

 

And the Holy
Spirit empowers Christians to perform ministerial duties that promote spiritual
growth among Christians (Rom. 12; 1Cor. 12; Eph. 4).

 

The Holy Spirit also performs a function for non-Christians as well. He convicts
people's hearts of God's truth concerning how sinful we are -- needing God's
forgiveness; how righteous Jesus is --

 

He died in our place, for our sins; and
God's eventual judgment of the world and those who do not know Him (John
16:8-11).

 

The Holy Spirit tugs on our hearts and minds, asking us to repent and
turn to God for forgiveness and a new life.

THE FIRST JOYFUL MYSTERY
THE ANNUNCIATION

 

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Luke 1:28 "And coming to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with
you."

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

 

Little children I AM your Jesus of Mercy. And I come to teach you
some loving prayers that are really the story of my life and My Holy Mother's
Life.

 

These prayers are said together and you can say them every day. Just
remember little children that I your Jesus came into this world to save every
persons soul.

 

When you say these prayers you are speaking with me and I listen
to each one of you, to every person who talks to me through prayers.

 

Tell me
your secrets during this prayer time I will listen. Ask me for everything you
need and I will give you all that you need. It may not be what you are asking
me for but you will be given what I know is good for you and it may be given to
you in different ways.

 

In the Hail Mary you are saying to My Holy Mother that she is FULL OF GRACE,
which means she is filled with LOVE and also Because she is carrying Jesus who
is LOVE.

 

You are also thanking My Holy Mother for her Fiat her Yes to the
Angel Gabriel when he came to ask her if she would be the mother to the son of
God the Father. Her Fiat she gave to God the Father and saying she was willing
to carry me who was to be called Jesus, inside of her.

 

I the child Jesus who
would be the one who loved so much that I was willing to come into this world as
a man and to die for every single person in the world in order that their soul
could live in Heaven forever! This is how much I love you and every single
person.

 

I love you just as you are and I will never stop loving you. You can
think about all that I have spoken to you of during this rosary My little
children, Let us begin with the First Joyful Mystery.

 

Now My little children say
One Our Father and Ten Hail Mary's and One Gloria and know that I will be with
you each time you say My Rosary. Your Jesus of Mercy

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

 

The Greek kecharitomene means favored by grace, graced. Its tense suggests a
permanent state of being "highly favored," thus full of grace. Charity, the
divine love within us, comes from the same root.

 

God is infinite Goodness,
infinite Love. Mary is perfect created goodness, filled to the limit of her
finite being with grace or charity



THE SECOND JOYFUL MYSTERY
THE ANNUNCIATION
Blessed art thou among women
Luke 1:41-42a "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her
womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and
said, "Most blessed are you among women..."

 

Luke 1:48 "For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on
will all ages call me blessed."

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

 

Little children I your Jesus of Mercy was a baby just as you were and
My Holy Mother Mary, carried me inside of her as your mother carried you inside
of her.

 

As I told you in the beginning My Holy Mother was filled with Love and
she wanted to show love to everyone. My Holy Mother was filled with the Holy
Spirit, just as her cousin Elizabeth and the baby Elizabeth carried were filled
with the Holy Spirit.

 

My Holy Mother knew that her cousin Elizabeth was also
going to have a Baby because the Holy Spirit told this to My Holy Mother.

 

My
Holy Mother wanting to care for and help her cousin Elizabeth, made a long trip
riding on a donkey to visit her cousin Elizabeth.

 

After traveling a few days
she came to her cousin Elizabeth's home. When they saw each other, the baby
that Elizabeth was carrying got very excited and started moving and jumping
inside of her because the little baby knew that someone very special was there.
Elizabeth's baby who would later be known as John the Baptist, knew that I,
your Jesus of Mercy, who was to be the salvation for all mankind, was the baby
that Mary my Holy Mother was carrying and the special baby that was making John
the Baptist jump with joy inside of his mother.

 

This is when Elizabeth spoke
the very beautiful words that you repeat in the Holy Rosary Hail Mary, full of
Grace, the Lord is with Thee Blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the
Fruit of thy Womb Jesus.
My little children when Elizabeth spoke the words that My Mother was Blessed
amongst women it meant that My Holy Mother was chosen over all the women to be
the mother of God The Father's Son. My Holy Mother was also chosen
before her birth and was created and born without original sin.

 

This is one of
the reasons you say HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD PRAY FOR US SINNERS NOW AND AT THE
HOUR OF OUR DEATH, AMEN.

 

Now My little children say One Our Father and Ten Hail
Mary's and one Gloria and know that I will be with you each time you say My
Rosary.

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

Among all women is a way to say the highest/greatest etc. of a group in Semitic
languages (these words would likely have been spoken in Aramaic).

 

Mary is being
called the greatest of all women, greater than Ruth, greater than Sarah, greater
than EVE! Since Eve was created immaculate (without original sin), Mary must
have been conceived immaculate.

 

And, although Eve fell into sin by her own free
will, Mary must have corresponded to God's grace and remained sinless.

 

She could
not otherwise be greater than Eve. Thus, as the Fathers of the Church
unanimously assert, Mary is the New Eve who restores womanhood to God's original
intention and cooperates with the New Adam, her Son, for the Redemption of the
world.


THE THIRD JOYFUL MYSTERY
THE BIRTH OF YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST

(Luke 2:1-20) Angelic ministrants herald the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem

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

My precious little children, as you go throughout your town, look at the manger
scenes. Some you see in front of churches, some you see in front of homes or at
stores.

 

And they all show a Gentle Man named Joseph, a very loving and holy
woman named Mary and a baby named Jesus.

 

I have been teaching you about My
earthly Father Joseph, My Holy Mother Mary and your friend, brother myself your
Jesus. Christmas is My Birthday.

 

My parents didn't have a place for me to be
born because they were traveling and were very poor. They couldn't get a room
for My Holy Mother to rest because all the rooms were filled with the crowds
that were also traveling.

 

But my earthly father Joseph kept looking until he
found someone who was willing to share a stable they had outside of town where
animals slept and there were no walls to keep out the cold and only the stars in
the heaven as the light.

 

There was grass and dirt mixed to use as a crib to lay
my head and it was the love of my father and mother that kept me warm.

 

The
animals came close because they also knew that this little stable was full of
peace and love. Three kings came to see me. They had followed a special star
that was large and bright and now stayed over the stable to show the Kings where
I was.

 

The three kings brought me gifts of Inncense, Myrh and Gold. As you
pray this third mystery with me and think of My Birth I bring you special gifts
of Graces to help you and your family to be more loving to each other and to
others.

 

I also bring you graces to help you to get closer to me. And because
you are so loving and trying I bring you graces to share with the world so that
more souls will be saved and not lost through sin. This is how much I love you
and want to be loved daily by you.

 

So My little children please remember this
as you pray your daily rosary and know how happy you make me as you now My
precious little one's begin to say One Our Father and Ten Hail Mary's and One
Gloria and know that I will be with you each time you say My Rosary. Your
Jesus of Mercy


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

Mary gives birth to Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem. (Luke 2)
How inconceivably great the joy in the soul of Jesus must have been as He
experienced this boundless love of His Mother!

 

Between these two souls took
place ceaseless exchanges of love which brought them into ever closer unity.

11 For unto you is aborn this day in the city of David a bSaviour, which is
Christ the cLord.

12 And this shall be a asign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,

THE FOURTH JOYFUL MYSTERY

THE PRESENTATION OF THE CHILD JESUS IN THE TEMPLE

Mary and Joseph present Jesus to His Heavenly Father in the Temple of Jerusalem
forty days after His birth. (Luke 2:22-39)

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

My Beloved little children just as you have the Great Sacrament of Baptism, in
the early days the parents would present their babies to the Heavenly Father in
the Temple.

 

It was forty days after my birth that my beloved parents took me to
the temple to Present Me to My Lord. Simeon a prophet had waited years to
receive his gift from God the Father of meeting the child that was to save his
people.

 

The Holy Spirit came upon Simeon and lifted his heart in great joy as
the I the child Jesus, in My holy mother's arms approached Simeon. Simeon then
blessed us, as My holy mother placed me in Simeon's arms.

 

Simeon was shown a
vision which he spoke to my Holy Mother, that a sword was to pierce her heart
and that many would turn against me, this little baby that came to this world to
save souls.

 

This is why it is so important that you my little children pray
daily My Holy Mothers Rosary your prayers will save souls. So now my precious
little children know that I am with each of you as you My children pray
together with your family, one Our Father, Ten Hail Marys and One
Gloria and remember how much I love you. Your Jesus of Mercy

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

On the day of the Presentation God received infinitely more glory than He had
previously received in the temple from all the sacrifices and all the holocausts
of the Old Testament.

 

On this day it is His own Son Jesus Who is offered to Him,
and Who offers to the Father the infinite homage of adoration, thanksgiving,
expiation and supplication.
This is indeed a gift worthy of God.

 

And it is from the hands of the Virgin, full of grace, that this offering, so
pleasing to God, is received.

 

Mary's faith is perfect. Filled with the wisdom of
the Holy Spirit, she has a clear understanding of the value of the offering
which she is making to God at this moment; by His inspirations the Holy Spirit
brings her soul into harmony with the interior dispositions of the heart of her
Divine Son.

THE FIFTH JOYFUL MYSTERY

THE FINDING OF THE CHILD JESUS IN THE TEMPLE

 

After searching for three days, Mary and Joseph find the twelve-year-old Jesus
sitting in the Temple discussing the law with the learned doctors. (Luke
2:42-52).

My Precious little children, I pray that none of you ever get lost or feel
alone, because I am always with you, you just have to call out to Me your Jesus
of Mercy.

 

My parents left to go home and My earthly father Joseph was with the
other men traveling back as My Holy Mother was with the women so neither of them
knew that I wasn't with them until they stopped to rest. When they saw each
other and spoke they realized I wasn't with either of them.

 

Just as you and
your parents would be afraid if you were lost, my parents were afraid so they
began to search through the group of traveler's but couldn't find me.

 

They
went back to the town where they last saw me and when they went back into the
temple they saw that I was standing and teaching the priests in the temple.

 

They were very happy they had found me and asked me why I had stayed behind
when I knew we were leaving they didn't understand that I had to do God My
Father's Work. Just as I had to work for God My Father it's important that you
also begin to work for God My Father.

 

You think that you are to young to work
and you don't realize that when you pray and offer up your love to God, that
this is His Work, loving God, Praying is speaking to God and it can also be
saving souls because that is how loving and merciful God is.

 

God uses your
prayers to save many souls just as God used me to teach the priests in the
temple God will use you and your prayers to teach others and to save others this
is how important your prayers are to God.

 

So now my little children I have
promised you that I will be with you each time you say your daily rosary and God
the Father promises that your prayers will save many souls so lets start now
with One Our Father, Ten Hail Mary's and One Gloria.

 

Please remember My
precious little children that I will wait every day for this special time that
you come to spend this time with Me and pray your rosary your Jesus of Mercy.
I love you

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

 

"How is it that you sought Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's
business?"

 

This is the answer that Jesus gave to His Mother when, after three days' search
she had the joy of finding Him in the Temple.

 

These are the first words coming from the lips of the Word Incarnate to be
recorded in the
Gospel. In these words Jesus sums up His whole person, His whole life, His whole
mission.

 

They reveal His Divine Sonship; they testify to His supernatural
mission. Christ's whole life will only be a clarifying and magnificent
exposition of the meaning of these words.
St. Luke goes on to tell us that Mary "did not understand the word that He
spoke."

 

But even if Mary did not grasp the full significance of these words, she
did not doubt that Jesus was the Son of God. This is why she submitted in
silence to that Divine Will which had demanded such a sacrifice of her love.

 

"Mary kept these words of Jesus carefully in her heart." She kept them in her
heart, for there was the tabernacle in which she adored the mystery concealed in
the words of he Son, waiting until the full light of understanding would be
granted her.

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 29 - THROUGH FASTING     

Holy Sacrifice!

 

Nor was it to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; for then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, He has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9:25-26

--------------------

Today's verse is one of the all-time favorites among critics of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Such critics allege that the Mass "sacrifices Jesus again and again."  In reality, however, the Mass is a participation in the one and only sacrifice there ever has been, will be, or even could be for the sins of the world: the sacrifice of Christ.  Since it is a real participation, it is a real sacrifice, for Christ is our Paschal Sacrifice.  But since it is a participation, it is not a repetition.  The Christ Who is present on the altar under the appearance of bread and wine is the very same Christ Who died on the cross two thousand years ago.  The sacrifice into which we enter is the one and only sacrifice He ever offered on Calvary.  And the new life we receive from Him Who is really present in the Eucharist is the Risen Life He brought with Him out of the tomb.

If there is no outrage, evil will continue

 

"As long as the people are not aroused to abuses or evil, they will not support social legislation. It must be remembered that all crimes against society are founded on false and wicked ideas, and until these are altered, society will not be altered. A lion is not gentle once it is behind a cage; a wild horse is not less ill-tempered because of a bridle and kicking stirrups put on it."

 

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

 I feel that God will let me draw aside the veils [of heaven] so that the earth will not doubt His goodness. God is not subject to eclipse or change. He is forever one and the same; nothing can contradict His will. I feel within myself a power greater than human. I feel courage and strength thanks to the grace that dwells in me. I understand souls who are suffering against hope, for I have gone through that fire myself. But God will not give [us anything] beyond our strength. Often have I lived hoping against hope, and have advanced my hope to complete trust in God. Let that which He has ordained from all ages happen to me.       (386)

 

On one occasion, the Lord said to me, Why are you fearful and why do you tremble when you are united to Me? I am displeased when a soul yields to vain terrors. Who will dare to touch you when you are with Me? Most dear to Me is the soul that strongly believes in My goodness and has complete trust in Me. I heap My confidence upon it and give it all it asks.      (453)

  2MEDJUGORJE 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.

Jan 29 - THROUGH FASTING

 

In the second year of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin gave the following message on fasting :

 

The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature. Charity cannot replace fasting. Those who are not able to fast can sometimes replace it with prayer, works of love, and confession; but everyone, except the sick, must fast (First Years July 21,1982).

 

Fasting was a common practice in the early church. In this passage, Paul and Barnabas fast and pray for the new church leaders :

 

And after they has appointed elders for them in each church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe (Acts 1 4 :23).

 

Reflection :

 

In the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer wrote, Who will pray, he must fast and be clean, And fat his soul, and make his body lean.

 

Fasting is a difficult teaching, for it entails sacrifice and self-denial. And yet Our Lord and his Mother would not ask it of us unless it were vitally important, as Mary says, to " the salvation of the world, " to the fulfillment of her plans in Medjugorje. And as she has told us many times, those plans are totally dependent on our prayers and sacrifices.

 

If we feel trepidation at the prospect of fasting, it is best simply to confide this to Our Lady and ask for the special graces we need to live this message. We can be sure that she will answer this prayer without delay, for she urgently needs our help.

 

Application :

 

Asking boldly for Mary's help, make a decision to fast this Friday. Be sure to offer this sacrifice for one of your prayer intentions, or those of Our Lady, since fasting greatly amplifies the power of prayer, even to working the miraculous.

2nd Message to Louise Jan.26,2008

SUPERCRITICAL!
2nd Message via L., V+J
January 26, 2008- - -3:05 P.M.

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."(and other various prayers of testing)

Then your One Triune God spoke, " I cannot find one country on the face of the earth where enough people follow Me and live according to My word to mitigate My Divine Wrath, My Divine Justice.

A small percent of My remnant people will survive to see the Light of Christ, My Son, shine on the New Earth. As the darkness thickens My Anger grows.

The light will soon go completely out as I am totally ignored. You people will fight the great fight alone as I am no longer needed.

The great battle IS raging between Michael and satan. Soon all darkness will dissipate as satan is chained in Hell. Then there will be a thousand years of peace before My final coming.

Stay close to Me so that I will find you living in prayer. Amen, time is very near!"

 

PAST MSG ABOUT ASTEROIDS AND COMETS GIVEN to Louise


URGENT/CRITICAL!
Message via L., V+J
April 10, 2007- - -7:30 P.M.

L. began to receive a message from God Our Father and said, "Jesus, please cover
me with Your Most Precious Blood."

Then God our Father spoke, "The world and all life is being propelled into a
deadly, devastating, destructive tailspin. People who do not believe My words
through My messengers and who do not read Scripture will very soon see, hear and
feel everything I have been saying. All is about to be fulfilled.

Time is exceedingly short and few, very few, are prepared for all that is
coming. Each day the earth is being rocked by earthquakes and powerful storms.
In a very short time asteroids and comets will rain down causing unheardof
damage everywhere.

Who of you is ready to face- -head on- -such shocking reality? Yet this IS
SOON TO TAKE PLACE! My remnant is daily preparing through prayer and obedience
to My Will, My word.

Few souls, My dear one, will, in the end, enter the Golden, Pearly Gates to
Heaven. All of Heaven cries tears of anquish at the loss of so many souls.
Continue to pray and offer all your suffering and hardships to Me for the
conversion of ALL poor souls.

Thank you for hearing Me, honoring Me, obeying Me. I love you as I love all
souls- -help Me to rescue all poor souls from the clutches of satan before it is
too late."

Message #3036 to Little Mary - November 26, 2007

"Prayer, suffering and sacrifice will truly save souls"

MESSAGE #3036 from the Blessed Mother November 26, 2007

My daughter, Offer your suffering and your tears to Our Lord so more come to
know Jesus in this time of God's mercy and grace. So many are on the wrong
path, so please pray with me today for those who are living in darkness.
Prayer, suffering and sacrifice will truly save souls.

The Mass is the greatest prayer, so please tell my children the importance of
receiving Jesus in the Eucharist. Please remind my children to cleanse their
soul so they receive Jesus in the proper way. In order to prepare for battle
you must cleanse and nourish your soul. You must stay close to Jesus so you
have the grace needed to be true soldiers for Christ. Each of you must choose
the path that will lead you to Heaven. You must detach yourself from the world
and obey all of God's Commandments. You must spend time with Jesus and adore
Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Now, please accept God's love and surrender your life to Him. Surrender and
accept His Divine Will and you will truly grow in holiness. This is the way,
all you have to do is trust and open your heart. Amen.

Resend of Jan. 2, 2008 Message to Louise

 

January 2, 2008

 

Louise began to hear words from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and many other prayers of testing)

 

God the Father then spoke, "In the near future there will be a gigantic explosion heard and felt around the world."

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 28 - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS     

 

"May the Most Blessed Virgin Mary from whom Christ the Lord took the flesh
which under the species of bread and wine `is contained, offered and
consumed,' may all the saints of God, especially those who burned with a more ardent
devotion to the divine Eucharist, intercede before the Father of mercies so
that from this same faith in and devotion toward the Eucharist may result and
flourish perfect unity of communion among all Christians," Pope Paul VI,
Mysterium Fidei (The Mystery of Faith).

 

"Eucharistic adoration strengthens Christian life ... I exhort you to
continue along this adoring path, putting before the gaze of Jesus Christ the
anxieties, the hopes, the worries and even the sins of all humanity. Before Him everything takes on a new face." (Pope John Paul II)

 

 

Mother Teresa -  

We need to bring prayer into our family life. Through prayer, we will be able to teach our children and relatives to share. We will gain more through genuine prayer than with mere words.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - "As long as you are afraid, you will not sin." "Maybe, Father, but I suffer a great deal." "Certainly, one suffers, but one must have confidence; there is the fear of God and the fear of Judas." Too much fear makes us act without love, and too much confidence cause us not to consider and fear the danger that we must overcome. One should help the other, and go together like two sisters. Always, when we become beware of being afraid, of having too much fear, we should remember to become confident. If we are excessively confident, we should become instead a little fearful. Love tends to the object loved, however, in its approach, it is blind, it does not see. But holy fear enlightens it.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - 

There is a need to nip problems in the bud

"Much social reform attempts to cure problems such as crime and juvenile delinquency by changing environment, such as building more dance halls and swimming pools. One of the difficulties social reform must always face is that it hardly ever goes into operation until things have gotten very bad."

 

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

 

 O my Jesus, how immensely I rejoice at the assurance You have given me that the Congregation will come into being. I no longer have the least shadow of a doubt about this, and I see how great is the glory which it will give to God. It will be the reflection of God's greatest attribute; that is, His divine mercy. Unceasingly, they will intercede for divine mercy for themselves and for the whole world. And every act of mercy will flow from God's love, that love with which they will be filled to overflowing. They will strive to make their own this great attribute of God, and to live by it and to bring others to know it and to trust in the goodness of the Lord. This Congregation of Divine Mercy will be in God's Church like a beehive in a magnificent garden, hidden and meek. The sisters will work like bees to feed their neighbors' souls with honey, while the wax will flame for the glory of God.      (664)

During Holy Mass, I offered myself completely to the heavenly Father through the sweetest Heart of Jesus; let Him do as He pleases with me. Of myself I am nothing, and in my misery I have nothing of worth; so I abandon myself into the ocean of Your mercy, O Lord.      (668)

 

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.

 

Jan 28 - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

The following is the Gospa's message for April, 1990:

"Dear children, today I call you to seriously accept and live the messages I have given you. I am with you and I wish to draw each of you ever closer to my heart.

But to accomplish this, little children, I need you to pray and always seek the will of God in your everyday life. I wish that each of you discover the way of holiness and grow in it until eternity.

I will pray and intercede for you before God that you can understand my presence here for the great gift that it is--gift from God to both of us."

(Monthly Message April 25,1990)

The ultimate purpose of the messages, of course, is to transform us into the image of Christ, that his peace may prevail:

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. (2 Cor 3:17-18

Reflection:

Through his many scholarly books on theology, St. Thomas Aquinas' goal, like that of the Blessed Virgin, was to draw the individual closer to Christ so that he could be transformed into his image and likeness. He spent great effort in examining the characteristics of the divine nature and showing how we might acquire them. His composition of the following prayer reveals those virtues which he considered most important.

Application:

As Our Lady recommends, let us offer this Prayer for a Faithful and Upright Heart from the heart.

O Lord my God, <BR>
help me to be obedient without reserve, <BR>

poor without servility, <BR>

chaste without compromise, <BR>

humble without pretense, <BR>

joyful without depravity, <BR>

serious without affectation, <BR>

active without frivolity, <BR>

submissive without bitterness, <BR>

truthful without duplicity, <BR>

fruitful in good works without presumption, quick to revive my neighbor without haughtiness, and quick to edify others by word and example without simulation.

Grant me, O Lord, an ever-watched heart that no alien thought can lure away from you;

a noble heart

that no base love can sully;

an upright heart

that no perverse intention can lead astray;

an invincible heart

that no distress can overcome;

an unfettered heart

that no impetuous desires can enchain.

O Lord my God,

also bestow upon me

understanding to know you,

zeal to seek you,

wisdom to find you,

a life that is pleasing to you,

unshakable perseverance,

and a hope that will one day take hold of you.

May I do penance here below and patiently bear your chastisements. May I also receive the benefits of your grace, in order to taste your heavenly joys and contemplate your glory. Amen.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 27 - LET PRAYER ILLUMINATE

 

Message of January 25, 2006

Dear children! Also today I call you to be carriers of the Gospel in your families. Do not forget, little children, to read Sacred Scripture. Put it in a visible place and witness with your life that you believe and live the Word of God. I am close to you with my love and intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.

 

Message of January 25, 2005

"Dear children! In this time of grace again I call you to prayer. Pray, little children, for unity of Christians, that all may be one heart. Unity will really be among you inasmuch as you will pray and forgive. Do not forget: love will conquer only if you pray, and your heart will open.Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Year of the Eucharist Weekly Ideas for January, inspired by Ecclesia de
Eucharistia:

"I Myself am the Living Bread come down from Heaven.  If anyone eats this
Bread he shall live forever; the Bread I give is My flesh, for the life of the
world" (Jn 6:51). "Before this mystery of love, human reason fully experiences
its limitations. One understands how, down the centuries, this truth has
stimulated theology" (Art 15).  Invite a missionary to speak about Jesus Personal Presence in the Eucharist and Adoration at your parish.

 

Mother Teresa  -

I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help and grace as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on him 24 hours a day.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Remember that at first a mother teaches her child how to walk by supporting him, but later he has to walk by himself. You, therefore, must think things out for yourself.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen - 

The heart steers our actions

"The heart is the mint wherein the coinage of human life is stamped; it is the anvil which forges habits and routines; it is the `stick' which pilots the plane of life. Sir Walter Scott once said to his son-in-law Lockhart: `We shall never learn to feel and respect our own calling and destiny, until we have taught ourselves to consider everything as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.'"

 

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)

 

 

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.

 -

Jan 27 - LET PRAYER ILLUMINATE YOUR LIFE

The Blessed Mother speaks of her favorite subject today:

"Dear children, today I call you to prayer. By means of prayer, little children, you will find joy and peace. Through prayer you will be richer in the mercy of God. Therefore, little children, let prayer illuminate your entire life. Especially, I call you to pray that those who are far from God may be converted. Then our own hearts will be richer because God will reign in the hearts of all. And so, little children, pray, pray, pray! Let prayer reign throughout the whole world. (Monthly Message August 25, 1989)

In this passage from Matthew's gospel, Jesus bears out the importance of prayer, and also its great power:

In the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the side of the road, he went to it and found nothing at all on it but leaves. Then he said, to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And the fig tree withered at once.

When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?" Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be lifted up and thrown into the sea', it will be done. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive." (Mt 21:18-22)

Reflection:

Prayer is by far the most common subject of Our Lady's messages in Medjugorje, as well as a primary teaching of Christ in the gospels. It is the root of joy and peace, as Mary reminds us today, and its power is unbounded, as Jesus teaches his disciples in the gospel. Of prayer with the heart, John Bunyan wrote, "When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words, than thy words without heart." So much has been written about prayer that for now we might simply underline the words of Mary's message today: prayer begets true joy and peace. This is the peace the world cannot give; this is the joy that abides deep within the heart. There is no other way to obtain these gifts, not money, cars, homes, nor any of the world's allurements. There is only one way, a very simple way: our hearts opened to God in quiet prayer, in quiet communion with the divine Lord.

Application:
Give your fears and anxieties over to Our Lady today in prayer. Remain with her until you feel at peace.

Message and request from Jesus to Eileen Renders Jan. 27,2008

Jesus Petitions Us For A Lenten Sacrifice

 

Today we attended our usual 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made an Act of Contrition in preparation of receiving Holy Communion and prayed for special intentions.

 

After offering up small gifts to Jesus and Mary, I received the Body And Blood of Jesus and knelt in silent communication with Him. First and foremost, I thanked Him for His many blessings. So acutely aware of His presence, tears brimmed over from my eyes, but I knelt with both hands covering my face in order to remain private and to shut out any distraction.

 

In prayer I asked Jesus to please cover me with His most precious blood then prayed, Speak Lord, (If it be Your will, always), Your servant listens. Jesus responded to my prayer saying, My child Eileen, let it be known that each time one of My children makes a sincere confession during the sacrament of Penance, followed by receiving Holy Communion offered up for the souls in Purgatory, I will forgive and release one soul into heaven. That soul will then pray for you. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

"The Rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of the world and open on the  substance of the next."

 As I was preparing for confession, I said to Jesus, hidden in the Blessed Sacrament, "Jesus, I beg You to speak to me through the mouth of this priest. And this will be a sign to me, because he does not know at all that You want me to establish that Congregation of Mercy. Let him say something to me about this mercy."

 

When I approached the confessional and started my confession, the priest interrupted me and started telling me about the great mercy of God, and he spoke more forcefully about it than I had ever heard anyone speak before. And he asked me, "Do you know that the mercy of the Lord is greater than all His works, that it is the crown of His works?" And I listened attentively to these words which the Lord was speaking through the mouth of the priest. Although I believe that it is always God who speaks through the lips of the priest in the confessional, I experienced it in a special way on that occasion.

 

Although I did not reveal anything of the divine life that is in my soul and only accused myself of my offenses, the priest himself told me very much of what was in my soul and put me under obligation to be faithful to the inspirations of God. He said to me, "You are going through life with the Mother of God, who faithfully responded to every divine inspiration." O my Jesus, who can ever comprehend Your goodness?       (637)

Jan 26 - MAKE A COMMITMENT

 

Today Our Lady asks for our commitment so that her plans in Medjugorje will succeed:

 

Dear children, I would like this to be a time of decision for you. Make a commitment to follow me, follow me! I wish to do so much, but I cannot do anything without you; your resolve is too weak.

 

So pray during this time, dear children. Only through prayer can you receive the strength of commitment that you need. I am here to help you, my children (Visionary Prayer Group August 19, 1988).

 

In Mark's gospel, Jesus also asks for a decision:

 

As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people." And immediately they left their nets and followed him (Mk 1 :16-18).

 

Reflection:

 

Discipleship, or commitment, is foundational to our Christian faith; both Mary in her messages and Jesus in the gospels, speak of the necessity of deciding completely for God.

 

And this decision, which we are asked to renew periodically in prayer, surfaces naturally from the grace of God in our hearts. "Happy are they", writes Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "who know that discipleship simply means the life that springs from grace, and that grace simply means discipleship."

 

Application:

 

In prayer today, ask Christ and the Blessed Mother to strengthen your commitment if following them with enthusiasm and courage.

And this decision, which we are asked to renew periodically in prayer, surfaces naturally from the grace of God in our hearts. "Happy are they", writes Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "who know that discipleship simply means the life that springs from grace, and that grace simply means discipleship."

 

Application:

 

In prayer today, ask Christ and the Blessed Mother to strengthen your commitment if following them with enthusiasm and courage.

The web site, era-of-peace, together with its mother web site,

have been designed to serve a very unique purpose. As discussed in greater detail on the home page of era-of-peace, it is used in conjunction with its mother site to assist and guide all of God's children through the Great Tribulation of the book of Revelation.

Accordingly, primary emphasis has been given to the accumulation of few archived messages at the era-of-peace web site, as opposed to many individual emailed messages to members. Our intention is to build a relatively small base of messages, to facilitate the painting of the "big" picture as eschatology is realized daily. As new members join, especially during the foretold confusion associated with the Warning, they will see for themselves the foretold events materializing together with supporting evidence.

2nd Message to Louise Jan.26,2008

SUPERCRITICAL!
2nd Message via L., V+J
January 26, 2008- - -3:05 P.M.

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."(and other various prayers of testing)

Then your One Triune God spoke, " I cannot find one country on the face of the earth where enough people follow Me and live according to My word to mitigate My Divine Wrath, My Divine Justice.

A small percent of My remnant people will survive to see the Light of Christ, My Son, shine on the New Earth. As the darkness thickens My Anger grows.

The light will soon go completely out as I am totally ignored. You people will fight the great fight alone as I am no longer needed.

The great battle IS raging between Michael and satan. Soon all darkness will dissipate as satan is chained in Hell. Then there will be a thousand years of peace before My final coming.

Stay close to Me so that I will find you living in prayer. Amen, time is very near!"

L. began to receive a message from God Our Father and said, "Jesus, please cover

Then God our Father spoke, "The world and all life is being propelled into a
deadly, devastating, destructive tailspin. People who do not believe My words
through My messengers and who do not read Scripture will very soon see, hear and

Time is exceedingly short and few, very few, are prepared for all that is

In a very short time asteroids and comets will rain down causing unheardof

Who of you is ready to face- -head on- -such shocking reality? Yet this IS
SOON TO TAKE PLACE! My remnant is daily preparing through prayer and obedience
to My Will, My word.

Few souls, My dear one, will, in the end, enter the Golden, Pearly Gates to

Continue to pray and offer all your suffering and hardships to Me for the

Thank you for hearing Me, honoring Me, obeying Me. I love you as I love all

Message #3036 to Little Mary - November 26, 2007

"Prayer, suffering and sacrifice will truly save souls"

MESSAGE #3036 from the Blessed Mother November 26, 2007

My daughter, Offer your suffering and your tears to Our Lord so more come to
know Jesus in this time of God's mercy and grace. So many are on the wrong
path, so please pray with me today for those who are living in darkness.
Prayer, suffering and sacrifice will truly save souls.

The Mass is the greatest prayer, so please tell my children the importance of
receiving Jesus in the Eucharist. Please remind my children to cleanse their
soul so they receive Jesus in the proper way. In order to prepare for battle
you must cleanse and nourish your soul. You must stay close to Jesus so you
have the grace needed to be true soldiers for Christ. Each of you must choose
the path that will lead you to Heaven. You must detach yourself from the world
and obey all of God's Commandments. You must spend time with Jesus and adore
Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Now, please accept God's love and surrender your life to Him. Surrender and
accept His Divine Will and you will truly grow in holiness. This is the way,
all you have to do is trust and open your heart. Amen.

Resend of Jan. 2, 2008 Message to Louise

 

January 2, 2008

 

Louise began to hear words from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and many other prayers of testing)

 

God the Father then spoke, "In the near future there will be a gigantic explosion heard and felt around the world."

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 28 - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS     

 

"May the Most Blessed Virgin Mary from whom Christ the Lord took the flesh
which under the species of bread and wine `is contained, offered and
consumed,' may all the saints of God, especially those who burned with a more ardent
devotion to the divine Eucharist, intercede before the Father of mercies so
that from this same faith in and devotion toward the Eucharist may result and
flourish perfect unity of communion among all Christians," Pope Paul VI,
Mysterium Fidei (The Mystery of Faith).

 

"Eucharistic adoration strengthens Christian life ... I exhort you to
continue along this adoring path, putting before the gaze of Jesus Christ the
anxieties, the hopes, the worries and even the sins of all humanity. Before Him everything takes on a new face." (Pope John Paul II)

 

 

Mother Teresa -  

We need to bring prayer into our family life. Through prayer, we will be able to teach our children and relatives to share. We will gain more through genuine prayer than with mere words.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - "As long as you are afraid, you will not sin." "Maybe, Father, but I suffer a great deal." "Certainly, one suffers, but one must have confidence; there is the fear of God and the fear of Judas." Too much fear makes us act without love, and too much confidence cause us not to consider and fear the danger that we must overcome. One should help the other, and go together like two sisters. Always, when we become beware of being afraid, of having too much fear, we should remember to become confident. If we are excessively confident, we should become instead a little fearful. Love tends to the object loved, however, in its approach, it is blind, it does not see. But holy fear enlightens it.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - 

There is a need to nip problems in the bud

"Much social reform attempts to cure problems such as crime and juvenile delinquency by changing environment, such as building more dance halls and swimming pools. One of the difficulties social reform must always face is that it hardly ever goes into operation until things have gotten very bad."

 

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

 

 O my Jesus, how immensely I rejoice at the assurance You have given me that the Congregation will come into being. I no longer have the least shadow of a doubt about this, and I see how great is the glory which it will give to God. It will be the reflection of God's greatest attribute; that is, His divine mercy. Unceasingly, they will intercede for divine mercy for themselves and for the whole world. And every act of mercy will flow from God's love, that love with which they will be filled to overflowing. They will strive to make their own this great attribute of God, and to live by it and to bring others to know it and to trust in the goodness of the Lord. This Congregation of Divine Mercy will be in God's Church like a beehive in a magnificent garden, hidden and meek. The sisters will work like bees to feed their neighbors' souls with honey, while the wax will flame for the glory of God.      (664)

During Holy Mass, I offered myself completely to the heavenly Father through the sweetest Heart of Jesus; let Him do as He pleases with me. Of myself I am nothing, and in my misery I have nothing of worth; so I abandon myself into the ocean of Your mercy, O Lord.      (668)

 

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.

 

Jan 28 - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

The following is the Gospa's message for April, 1990:

"Dear children, today I call you to seriously accept and live the messages I have given you. I am with you and I wish to draw each of you ever closer to my heart.

But to accomplish this, little children, I need you to pray and always seek the will of God in your everyday life. I wish that each of you discover the way of holiness and grow in it until eternity.

I will pray and intercede for you before God that you can understand my presence here for the great gift that it is--gift from God to both of us."

(Monthly Message April 25,1990)

The ultimate purpose of the messages, of course, is to transform us into the image of Christ, that his peace may prevail:

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. (2 Cor 3:17-18

Reflection:

Through his many scholarly books on theology, St. Thomas Aquinas' goal, like that of the Blessed Virgin, was to draw the individual closer to Christ so that he could be transformed into his image and likeness. He spent great effort in examining the characteristics of the divine nature and showing how we might acquire them. His composition of the following prayer reveals those virtues which he considered most important.

Application:

As Our Lady recommends, let us offer this Prayer for a Faithful and Upright Heart from the heart.

O Lord my God, <BR>
help me to be obedient without reserve, <BR>

poor without servility, <BR>

chaste without compromise, <BR>

humble without pretense, <BR>

joyful without depravity, <BR>

serious without affectation, <BR>

active without frivolity, <BR>

submissive without bitterness, <BR>

truthful without duplicity, <BR>

fruitful in good works without presumption, quick to revive my neighbor without haughtiness, and quick to edify others by word and example without simulation.

Grant me, O Lord, an ever-watched heart that no alien thought can lure away from you;

a noble heart

that no base love can sully;

an upright heart

that no perverse intention can lead astray;

an invincible heart

that no distress can overcome;

an unfettered heart

that no impetuous desires can enchain.

O Lord my God,

also bestow upon me

understanding to know you,

zeal to seek you,

wisdom to find you,

a life that is pleasing to you,

unshakable perseverance,

and a hope that will one day take hold of you.

May I do penance here below and patiently bear your chastisements. May I also receive the benefits of your grace, in order to taste your heavenly joys and contemplate your glory. Amen.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 27 - LET PRAYER ILLUMINATE

 

Message of January 25, 2006

Dear children! Also today I call you to be carriers of the Gospel in your families. Do not forget, little children, to read Sacred Scripture. Put it in a visible place and witness with your life that you believe and live the Word of God. I am close to you with my love and intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.

 

Message of January 25, 2005

"Dear children! In this time of grace again I call you to prayer. Pray, little children, for unity of Christians, that all may be one heart. Unity will really be among you inasmuch as you will pray and forgive. Do not forget: love will conquer only if you pray, and your heart will open.Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Year of the Eucharist Weekly Ideas for January, inspired by Ecclesia de
Eucharistia:

"I Myself am the Living Bread come down from Heaven.  If anyone eats this
Bread he shall live forever; the Bread I give is My flesh, for the life of the
world" (Jn 6:51). "Before this mystery of love, human reason fully experiences
its limitations. One understands how, down the centuries, this truth has
stimulated theology" (Art 15).  Invite a missionary to speak about Jesus Personal Presence in the Eucharist and Adoration at your parish.

 

Mother Teresa  -

I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help and grace as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on him 24 hours a day.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Remember that at first a mother teaches her child how to walk by supporting him, but later he has to walk by himself. You, therefore, must think things out for yourself.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen - 

The heart steers our actions

"The heart is the mint wherein the coinage of human life is stamped; it is the anvil which forges habits and routines; it is the `stick' which pilots the plane of life. Sir Walter Scott once said to his son-in-law Lockhart: `We shall never learn to feel and respect our own calling and destiny, until we have taught ourselves to consider everything as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.'"

 

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)

 

 

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.

 -

Jan 27 - LET PRAYER ILLUMINATE YOUR LIFE

The Blessed Mother speaks of her favorite subject today:

"Dear children, today I call you to prayer. By means of prayer, little children, you will find joy and peace. Through prayer you will be richer in the mercy of God. Therefore, little children, let prayer illuminate your entire life. Especially, I call you to pray that those who are far from God may be converted. Then our own hearts will be richer because God will reign in the hearts of all. And so, little children, pray, pray, pray! Let prayer reign throughout the whole world. (Monthly Message August 25, 1989)

In this passage from Matthew's gospel, Jesus bears out the importance of prayer, and also its great power:

In the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the side of the road, he went to it and found nothing at all on it but leaves. Then he said, to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And the fig tree withered at once.

When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?" Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be lifted up and thrown into the sea', it will be done. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive." (Mt 21:18-22)

Reflection:

Prayer is by far the most common subject of Our Lady's messages in Medjugorje, as well as a primary teaching of Christ in the gospels. It is the root of joy and peace, as Mary reminds us today, and its power is unbounded, as Jesus teaches his disciples in the gospel. Of prayer with the heart, John Bunyan wrote, "When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words, than thy words without heart." So much has been written about prayer that for now we might simply underline the words of Mary's message today: prayer begets true joy and peace. This is the peace the world cannot give; this is the joy that abides deep within the heart. There is no other way to obtain these gifts, not money, cars, homes, nor any of the world's allurements. There is only one way, a very simple way: our hearts opened to God in quiet prayer, in quiet communion with the divine Lord.

Application:
Give your fears and anxieties over to Our Lady today in prayer. Remain with her until you feel at peace.

God the Father spoke, "I say to you My daughter... write for Me!'

 

L.: God please bless my nation- - -America.

 

God: 'Your nation is the United States of America. Pray for your nation for a great and powerful event is about to shake U.S.A. from coast to coast. Pray incessantly, for your people, for all creatures to come back to Me pronto!

 

Your country is in for a great wake-up! The time is very, very, very near! Keep your faith! Trust in Me, for I will take care of My own. I will send My Holy Angels to surround that which is Mine. BE NOT AFRAID FOR I AM WITH MY TINY REMNANT!

This message of today was so full of discernment of a kind that most of us were unaware of and is so appropriate for the upcoming Lenten Season, I do pray that all will answer His call.

Jesus Petitions Us For A Lenten Sacrifice

 

Today we attended our usual 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made an Act of Contrition in preparation of receiving Holy Communion and prayed for special intentions.

 

After offering up small gifts to Jesus and Mary, I received the Body And Blood of Jesus and knelt in silent communication with Him. First and foremost, I thanked Him for His many blessings. So acutely aware of His presence, tears brimmed over from my eyes, but I knelt with both hands covering my face in order to remain private and to shut out any distraction.

 

In prayer I asked Jesus to please cover me with His most precious blood then prayed, Speak Lord, (If it be Your will, always), Your servant listens. Jesus responded to my prayer saying, My child Eileen, let it be known that each time one of My children makes a sincere confession during the sacrament of Penance, followed by receiving Holy Communion offered up for the souls in Purgatory, I will forgive and release one soul into heaven. That soul will then pray for you. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Rosary written by Bishop

Fulton Sheen in 1953.

 

"The Rosary is the book of the blind, where souls see and there enact the greatest drama of love the world has ever known; it is the book of the simple which initiates them into mysteries and knowledge more satisfying than the education of other men; it is the book of the aged, whose eyes close upon the shadow of the world and open on the  substance of the next."

"God's Bread comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world" (Jn 6:33).

"The Church implores this divine Gift, the source of every other gift" (Art 17).  Share about the True Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist with children, teens, college and adult students by using appropriate means and materials in classes and inviting them to weekly Adoration.

We must love with Jesus' love and his spirit of sacrifice. God loved us by giving himself to us. We too must give ourselves to one another. Because of this, we must reject whatever would keep us from giving ourselves to one another.

2St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -

 

 As I was preparing for confession, I said to Jesus, hidden in the Blessed Sacrament, "Jesus, I beg You to speak to me through the mouth of this priest. And this will be a sign to me, because he does not know at all that You want me to establish that Congregation of Mercy. Let him say something to me about this mercy."

 

When I approached the confessional and started my confession, the priest interrupted me and started telling me about the great mercy of God, and he spoke more forcefully about it than I had ever heard anyone speak before. And he asked me, "Do you know that the mercy of the Lord is greater than all His works, that it is the crown of His works?" And I listened attentively to these words which the Lord was speaking through the mouth of the priest. Although I believe that it is always God who speaks through the lips of the priest in the confessional, I experienced it in a special way on that occasion.

 

Although I did not reveal anything of the divine life that is in my soul and only accused myself of my offenses, the priest himself told me very much of what was in my soul and put me under obligation to be faithful to the inspirations of God. He said to me, "You are going through life with the Mother of God, who faithfully responded to every divine inspiration." O my Jesus, who can ever comprehend Your goodness?       (637)

Jan 26 - MAKE A COMMITMENT

 

Today Our Lady asks for our commitment so that her plans in Medjugorje will succeed:

 

Dear children, I would like this to be a time of decision for you. Make a commitment to follow me, follow me! I wish to do so much, but I cannot do anything without you; your resolve is too weak.

 

So pray during this time, dear children. Only through prayer can you receive the strength of commitment that you need. I am here to help you, my children (Visionary Prayer Group August 19, 1988).

 

In Mark's gospel, Jesus also asks for a decision:

 

As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people." And immediately they left their nets and followed him (Mk 1 :16-18).

 

Reflection:

 

Discipleship, or commitment, is foundational to our Christian faith; both Mary in her messages and Jesus in the gospels, speak of the necessity of deciding completely for God.

 

And this decision, which we are asked to renew periodically in prayer, surfaces naturally from the grace of God in our hearts. "Happy are they", writes Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "who know that discipleship simply means the life that springs from grace, and that grace simply means discipleship."

 

Application:

 

In prayer today, ask Christ and the Blessed Mother to strengthen your commitment if following them with enthusiasm and courage.

US FDA Plans to Eliminate Many Vitamin Companies

"You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.  A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of ththe wicked.  Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.  For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways."   (cf. Psa 91:5-11)



We have published a number of pieces containing warnings and directives from Our Lord regarding the plagues to come, and how we should prepare for them.  Such plagues will include pandemics resulting from biological warfare, disease released intentionally (e.g. via chemtrails), disease released from melting glaciers, etc.

Our Lord has advised us to build up our immune system with Hawthorn herbs, vitamins and antioxidants in order to withstand these pandemics.  Further He has told us to store extra herbs, vitamins, antioxidants, food, water, fuel, clothing and other supplies and equipment for Hi to multiply during the forthcoming Tribulation.

Further, He has told us that evil men are making false excuses to remove vitamins and dietary supplements from the market.  Once free access to vitamins and dietary supplements by the population at large has been restricted and disease is prevalent, they will require all to receive the subdermal microchip in order to obtain both prescription drugs as well as vitamins and dietary supplements.

God will provide.  He always takes care of His Faithful.

The days of Elijah have arrived!

March 30, 2007
Jesus said: "My people, your modern day medicine treats most of your sicknesses with shots and pills. Your medical profession is a big business and health costs are the fastest increasing expense in many of your budgets. Many give excuses that the high cost of research is why these expenses are increasing. What they are not telling you is that your medicines are overpriced and many of your diseases are man-made. These diseases give excuses for spending all the money on research as on AIDS and cancer. Many of these medicines may have some beneficial effect, but they are poisons to the body and are causing many side effects to your muscles and organs that could be worse than the disease. They keep you just well enough to keep you coming back for more expensive visits to the doctor and more drugs. Your immune systems are being compromised by your manipulated foods, pollution in the environment, chemtrails in the sky, and all of the pesticides and poisons in your water and on your foods. The profit on medicines and bad foods are driving your medical and food industries with little care for your health and less concern for proper nutrition and alternative medicines in herbs and vitamins. Pray that you will discern what is best for your body in all of what you eat."

April 21, 2005
Jesus said: "My people, the United Nations and many one world organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) are trying to flaunt their authority over all national laws. Many of your government leaders are giving up their authority to go along with all of these one world edicts. A current proposal is to put all of your herbs and vitamins under control of WHO and your FDA that would control these substances as drugs and raise their prices by ten to twenty times your current prices. This is just the beginning of how the one world order will control you."

FDA Announces Plan to Eliminate Vitamin Companies

NewsTarget -- January 15, 2008 - The FDA, emboldened by its transformation into a drug company, has embarked upon an anti-American plan of interfering with business and intentionally eliminating various dietary supplement companies from the market. The FDA announcement came on Friday, June 22, 2007 under the guise of a final rule for dietary supplement good manufacturing practices (CGMPs). Within this 800 page rule the FDA states, "We find that this final rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities --- Establishments with above average costs, and even establishments with average costs, could be hard pressed to continue to operate. Some of these may decide it is too costly and either change product lines or go out of business--- 140 very small [less than 20 employees] and 32 small dietary supplement manufacturers [less than 500 employees] will be at risk of going out of business ---  costs per establishment are proportionally higher for very small than for large establishments --- The regulatory costs of this final rule will also discourage new small businesses from entering the industry."

This FDA rule will directly raise the price of dietary supplements for all consumers. The FDA acknowledges this and says "We expect that the majority of these costs will be borne by consumers of dietary supplements, who will likely respond to the increase in prices by reducing consumption." Thus, the FDA is intentionally seeking to shrink the size of the dietary supplement industry and reduce the influence of safe and effective options to improve the dreadful trend in the health of Americans. The goal is to leave toxic drugs as the primary health option.

Independent analysis of this FDA rule has placed cost of compliance at 10 fold what the FDA estimates with as many as 50% of small companies unable to comply.

The gutless cowards of Congress, a majority of whom are on the Big Pharma payroll or will be on it once they leave Congress, have delegated their lawmaking powers granted by the U.S. Constitution to a bunch of Big Pharma-friendly unelected bureaucrats at the FDA, who are in turn using this power to undermine free commerce and help Big Pharma eliminate competition from the market. This is the behavior of a government in tyranny, inviting a revolution by the people. It is noteworthy that fascist governments of the past have eliminated health freedom and health options as a necessary condition to enslave and brainwash a population. Congress has delegated its responsibility to the people to such an extent that over half the laws in this country are now concocted by unelected bureaucrats with vested interests.

A Vehicle for Unprecedented Harassment

Any company that can afford to comply with the costs and regulations of this new FDA rule can be targeted and eliminated at will by the FDA. In essence, the FDA is seeking to make the dietary supplement industry document every phase of production, including expensive testing at multiple points in the production process. Massive record keeping will be required, including all customer complaints and returns for any reason! This is utterly draconian and an unnecessary interference and burden to free commerce. It is completely Anti-American.

No doubt, the FDA will impose user fees as an additional charge so that FDA agents will have the funding required to enforce the regulations. Under the new rule any flaw in bookkeeping can result in a company's products being declared adulterated, allowing the FDA to remove them from the market even though nothing is wrong with them! A company can then be forced out of business because they won't be able to sell any products to raise the money to comply. The rules are so complex and vague that the FDA can selectively target any company it chooses, even those attempting to comply in good faith.

The FDA is doing this under the pretense of improved consumer safety.  Consumer safety could readily be guaranteed by simply having all companies test their final products for purity and potency. Instead of this simple approach the FDA has gone to the extreme of burdening the dietary supplement industry with regulations in excess of the drug industry. Supplements are foods, not drugs. The food industry couldn't begin to comply with these FDA rules, even though food contamination is far more dangerous to health than dietary supplements.

The FDA intends to phase this rule in over the next three years. This means that within five years half the industry and many of the health options individuals rely on will either be gone or significantly more expensive.

Even more chilling is that forces within the dietary supplement industry itself are in no small part responsible for this FDA final rule.

Trade Groups and their Big Companies Turn on America

The Natural Products Association (formerly the National Nutritional Food Association - NNFA) and the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) have been instrumental in forcing these drug-like rules on dietary supplements. These globalist organizations are selling out America, destroying American jobs, undermining the U.S. Constitution, and working in conjunction with pharmaceutical companies to usher in Codex and the New World Order. Consumers of dietary supplements should learn who these companies are before buying their products and helping to inadvertently fund the destruction of health freedom in this country.

When DSHEA was passed in 1994 part of that law required the FDA to establish current good manufacturing practices (CGMPs) for the dietary supplement industry. During a period of FDA outreach to the industry the FDA was surprised to learn that CRN and NPA were in favor of drug-like CGMPs for the dietary supplement industry. These trade groups, working closely with Senators Orin Hatch (R-UT) and Tom Harkin (D-IA), have intentionally taken the supplement industry down a slippery slope. It is noteworthy that Hatch takes in more money from Big Pharma than he does from dietary supplement companies. Not only is Hatch a big supporter of the Medicare Part D drug rip off of Americans he has saved Big Pharma billions by protecting them from generic competition, as he is currently attempting to do with his legislation for new biologic drugs. Hatch also has a son working for NPA and another son that lobbies for NPA and the dietary supplement industry. When Hatch leaves the Senate he will be first in line for a six or seven figure Big Pharma salary.

The CRN has been taken over by multinational drug and food companies. Key players are the nutritional divisions of Bayer, BASF, Cargill, Monsanto, Wyeth, and Archer Daniels Midland.  Nutrition companies that participate are in most cases owned by pharmaceutical companies, heavily invested in pharmaceutical companies, or jockeying for position in the international market as part of the New World Order. Key names include Mannatech, Shacklee, Herbalife, GNLD International, The Vitamin Shoppe, and GNC. These companies are glad to eliminate competition from small companies and start up ventures.

Carrying on the general theme of Big Pharma ownership and a globalist agenda are the companies that control the NPA. One need only look at the new NPA China board to understand who these key players are. Jarrow Formulas, Now Foods, GNC, and Herbalife top the list. At the end of 2006 Jarrow and Now helped lead the charge with Senators Hatch and Harkin to burden the dietary supplement industry with bizarre Adverse Event Reporting legislation (AER) which insisted that dietary supplement companies keep extensive records on any type of consumer complaint. Aspects of this AER law are now implemented in the FDA final rule on CGMPs. Of course, NPA was quick to offer expensive training to its members to indoctrinate them into how to comply with the rules that NPA, working on behalf of the FDA, just forced on its own members. Are their member companies really this stupid? Or are they all working together? I would recommend that any NPA member that believes itself to be a true American company that values our constitution immediately withdraw from NPA membership - consumers will be looking to see who you are.

The picture is now crystal clear for any person who cares to look. Numerous dietary supplement companies are anti-American and actively selling out our country and our constitution, working hand-in-glove with the FDA and Big Pharma. The majority of such companies can be found as members of CRN and NPA. It will be up to the American consumer to save the dietary industry from itself and preserve their own access to safe and effective natural health remedies. This is a relatively simple task. Quit buying products from or quit being a distributor in these fascist organizations. Support the small companies that are the backbone of America, otherwise they will soon be extinct.

Update on S.1082 Threat to Dietary Supplements

Many of you have been following the extreme threat to dietary supplements posed by S.1082. Similar legislation has now cleared the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is headed for the floor of the House in the next week or two. The House version of this bill now contains the "food and food ingredients" language that the FDA can use to apply drug-related risk/benefit analysis to dietary supplements and have them removed from the market at their whim.

It is noteworthy that both CRN and NPA have posted on their websites information stating that S.1082 is not a threat to dietary supplements. Both organizations are flat out wrong. They cite a colloquy by Hatch, Harkin, Kennedy, and Enzi as their evidence. This colloquy was a direct result of our grassroots campaign to alert the American consumer to this major threat. In no way does this colloquy protect dietary supplements. Until the language in the bill is changed the threat exists and is very real. CRN and NPA also tell their members that the Codex initiative to scare consumers into thinking that dietary supplements are unsafe above minuscule amounts and need to be regulated by international laws is also no big deal. It is clear that CRN and NPA, again working hand-in-glove with the FDA, are a major part of the problem and are actively engaged in forwarding the globalist agenda of the New World Order. While pretending to represent the dietary supplement industry these organizations are in fact shooting the industry in the back and undermining health options for Americans.

The FDA is Out of Control

The FDA is a tyrannical organization that is now emboldened and completely out of control. It is not surprising that the FDA is seeking to eliminate competition to Big Pharma, they have been doing that for much of the past century. What is surprising is that they are openly stating in their final rule a plan that directly eliminates small businesses from existence. This fascist organization believes itself to be above the rule of law and is actively working against America and the rights of Americans. It must be stopped.

The web site, era-of-peace, together with its mother web site,

have been designed to serve a very unique purpose. As discussed in greater detail on the home page of era-of-peace, it is used in conjunction with its mother site to assist and guide all of God's children through the Great Tribulation of the book of Revelation.

Accordingly, primary emphasis has been given to the accumulation of few archived messages at the era-of-peace web site, as opposed to many individual emailed messages to members. Our intention is to build a relatively small base of messages, to facilitate the painting of the "big" picture as eschatology is realized daily. As new members join, especially during the foretold confusion associated with the Warning, they will see for themselves the foretold events materializing together with supporting evidence.

 Our Lady's Message of January 25, 2008

 

Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s January 25, 2008 Monthly Message

 

“Dear children! With the time of Lent, you are approaching a time of grace. Your heart is like ploughed soil and it is ready to receive the fruit which will grow into what is good. You, little children, are free to choose good or evil.

Therefore, I call you to pray and fast. Plant joy and the fruit of joy will grow in your hearts for your good, and others will see it and receive it through your life.

Renounce sin and choose eternal life. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Message to J.N.S.R. Dec. 24, 2007

 

It is My Holy Nativity

 

December 24, 2007

 

JESUS:  My child, an anniversary is like a life renewed, bringing with it souvenirs of the past, and the joy of imagining the future of which we catch a glimpse through this door that is opening.  I am speaking of My Holy Nativity on this Earth of God and of man.

 

            I am with My Holy Mother who blesses every day that Holy Day.  That memory remains and will eternally be part of Her:  MARY Most Holy gives to the sinful world Her Most Holy Son, Her ever living Love for He is also Her God.

 

            Her  Fiat  given to that of the Father of all Kindness, is the Gift by which God tears Himself , and the Mother offers Her Pure and Immaculate Heart so as to allow it to be pierced by that Sword which will pierce through to the Cross bearing Her Divine Son, the Virgin Flesh of Her own Flesh, the Cross of Love and of Forgiveness, where God sacrifices Himself with the Fiat of His Father and that of His Mother  for the Salvation of the World.

 

            That Day of My Most Holy Nativity where Heaven visits the Earth, is a day of Suffering and of Joy, of Hope in the pain of this Humanity that does not know yet how to appreciate  the Fruit of its Deliverance  and does not know how to gather it and even less eat it in the Holy Eucharist:

 

"Take and eat, this is My Body.

Take and drink, this is My Blood".

 

            My Life, from the Crib to the Cross, is this  pathway  that My Father is offering you, again and again, in order to help you get through  these End Times  that must end to allow  the Time of God  who only waits for  your  understanding and your decision in order to offer you a New Earth surrounded by the New Heavens.  But you do not know how to see with the gaze of your soul, which is, in Truth, the Gaze of God.

 

            I abide  in your spiritual body, and as a captain, on watch on his ship,  I watch on your soul.

 

Even if you say you do not know Me, do not love Me, or even if God leaves you all freedom, your soul, I have won it from Satan on My Holy Cross. 

 

And even his, he cannot destroy it:  his soul does belong to Me.  I paid to the very last with the Price of My Blood, and My Blood  is the Life of all of God's souls. 

 

And God, Unique and True, is the One Creator of all Humanity, and of the visible and invisible Universe,  He is the Only Master.  Satan can set up an army  of empty corpses,  but he can never steal even one of My souls.

 

            That Day when I saved all the souls on Earth, past, present and future, My Holy Cross became the Witness of your Salvation:  it was dripping the Blood of God.  Only God,  could redeem all His souls. 

 

The Blood of your Lord JESUS Christ is the Price for all the Universe.  One drop  of  My Precious Blood could have saved  all  the souls, but for the Love of My Father and of My brothers, I allowed all My Divine and Precious Blood to flow to the ground. 

 

My Love is so strong that My Heart burst like  a ripe fruit,  giving My Forgiveness to all My souls, and giving Glory to My Most Holy Father.

 

JNSR:  O My  JESUS of Love, I cannot deny the suffering I am going through, as this is the moment I feel nearer to You.  At the worst of my pain, I see You. 

 

I see the sheep still getting lost and Your immense sadness at the sight of Your Great Glorious Cross, through which You would have brought all of them back to Yourself:  they have not obeyed You! 

 

O my Sovereign God, Master of all souls and of all things, the Freedom You gave man, has betrayed You once more.  Console Yourself, Your Little Remnant will always be faithful to You and is begging Pardon for those who still run away from You.

 

JESUS of Nazareth has triumphed over Death.

 

His Reign is Eternal.

 

He comes to triumph over the World and Time.

 

Mercy My God for those who blaspheme You,

 

Forgive them for they know not what they do.

 

Mercy My God for the scandal in the World,

 

Deliver them from the spirit of Satan.

 

Mercy My God for those who run away from You,

 

Give them a taste for the Holy Eucharist.

 

Mercy My God for those who will come to repent at the foot of the Glorious Cross,

 

May they find there Peace and Joy in God Our Saviour.

 

Mercy My God so that Your Kingdom come,

 

But save them as there is still time,  but the time is drawing near,

 

and behold I am coming, Amen.

 

Come, Lord JESUS!

 

JESUS:  I would like to find in each of you, the holy memory they still have, hidden in themselves, of the birth of their souls, virginal birth in Heaven in the first Waters, where each one received My Holy Blessing before starting the pilgrimage on Earth:  in order to receive, upon returning to the Home of the Father, the sign of the Cross on their forehead and, like the  Prodigal Son,  the tender embrace of the Father.

 

            Yes, My child, I am soon coming  to awaken this memory asleep  in each one and I can come during the night as well as during the day. 

 

And everyone will be present at My Call, and groups will be formed, knowing where they are going and where they come from.  Fear will not be there,  for the souls are waiting for Me,  they will be prepared in one instant.

 

            In your spiritual freedom and in all knowledge, you will judge yourselves before God,  God being in you.

 

            My child, continue to offer to your Father in Heaven,  thousands of Holy Masses in the whole world for World Repentance  in reparation for the great disobedience of this world that did not obey the request of God who wanted to forgive all Humanity and give Peace to  all  Nations that would have gone up to His Holy Glorious Cross.

 

JNSR:  The Cross of World Repentance and the Forgiveness of God so as to implore God for His Forgiveness and His Peace and surrender to His Most Holy Will, for we are all sinners.  Forgive us Lord, we have all sinned against You.

 

Give us Your Pardon and we shall be saved.

 

JESUS Christ, Saviour of the World.

“Turn to Me and I will help you”

 

Reading: Matthew 10:16-33

 

Dear friends,

 

“Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.” Matthew 5:11-12

 

My prayer this morning was spent with Jesus, Our Lord and Redeemer, and He said, “Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you. I hold close to My Heart all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world.

 

I know many of you are persecuted these days. As they mocked Me when I was living in the world, they will also mock you who believe in Me. They tell all kinds of lies against you as if you were their enemy.

 

Many of My followers are killed every year, which is the way they treated Me by hanging Me on the cross to die. You are being persecuted not only in non-Christian countries but also in countries that once were known as Christian.

 

If you are persecuted, think of what I said and it is written in the Bible.

 

The world you know is under the sway of the evil one and the devil will do anything to you to show his displeasure. He would not react if he did not perceive a threat.

 

Do not be afraid at what the devil is saying but be afraid if you do not follow Me, for you will fall in his clutches.

 

I was attacked by the devil while I was fasting in the desert. I was not afraid of him and never would I do what he asked of Me.

 

It was the devil at work in the hearts of those who called for My arrest, who beat Me and placed a crown of thorns on My head and nailed Me to the cross to die.

 

The evil one thought he had won when I died but he never imagined that I would rise from the dead and establish My Church. If you are with Me, you will defeat the devil and win a crown of glory in heaven. I am the example you are to follow.

 

Do not be afraid of those who persecute you, but have courage to follow Me every day. I am with you daily so turn to Me and I will help you. I love you.”

 

Father Melvin

 

 

A Letter from Anne, a lay apostle

 

 

My dear friends and fellow lay apostles,

 

This year, as I looked at baby Jesus in the manger this Christmas, I

thought of the feelings a mother has when someone places her newly born

child in her arms. The very breath goes out of a mother at that moment. One

has to admit to the awesome power of God when one looks into the face of a

new baby.

 

As I contemplated Jesus in the manger, I thought of what it would be like

to pick Him up and hold Him in my arms. Imagine. How would you lift Him?

And hold Him? Well I think you would be reverent in the extreme, filled

with awe, filled with wonder at what God intended to do with this little

infant in His lifetime.

 

It came to me so powerfully that this is what He, the Lord Jesus Christ,

asks of each one of us. He longs for this kind of reverent, awed, and

tender treatment for each of His children on earth. Most likely, we have

not been treated like this by others, or at least not all the time. But

surely it is God's plan that we go out into our days and treat everyone we

meet like this, with the same wonder at what God desires to do for and

through each person in the world.

 

A single mother complained to one of her friends about the difficulties

she was having with her son, who was misbehaving. The things he was doing

were age appropriate, not serious but annoying and frustrating for his

mother. The mother said to her friend, What in heaven's name is God going

to do with this boy?

 

The friend replied, From the looks of things, He's going to make you a

saint. This made the mother laugh, as it should have but there is great

truth to it.

 

We have all felt, at times, terrific frustration with someone in our

lives. But if we can treat those who are the most difficult for us with the

tenderness and gentleness we would offer the newborn Saviour, we will make

progress with them. This is a powerful goal for each lay apostle.

 

Another important task for us at the beginning of the year is that of

examining our prayer life and our prayer commitments. Many apostles trip

because they do not have a disciplined approach to prayer. Consider which

part of the day belongs to the Lord. Where is your silence that Jesus

requests and so badly needs? Let each of us determine again, with Jesus,

what needs to be adjusted in our prayer life.

 

 

At this time, the time of the New Year, we are prone to looking over the

last year. Surely we all see some sufferings and perhaps a big cross or a

cross that became heavier and more difficult to carry. We will also see

crosses that were removed or that became lighter and easier to carry.

Looking back, we see opportunities for holiness that Jesus presented us

with and in those opportunities we no doubt see some failures as well as

some successes. We, as lay apostles, see, in looking back over the past

year, somewhere around 365 allegiance pledges to God our Father. And this,

my friends, is cause for rejoicing.

 

There is one thing I know for sure. The past year was not always easy for

any of us. On some days, we presented ourselves to heaven filled with

confidence and enthusiasm. We felt we had great things to offer heaven. On

other days, we presented ourselves to heaven filled with doubts and

discouragement, anxiety and perhaps even frustration and anger and, very

possibly, fear. Perhaps, on those difficult days, we felt we were a

liability to the family of God.

 

But in it all, the successes and the failures, the ups and downs of our

confidence and clarity, we persevered. We returned to Jesus, again and

again. We offered Him our days, despite feeling at times that what we had

to offer was not good or not good enough.

 

In this apostolate, we receive many graces, it is true. There can be no

denying that Jesus blesses our families. He pursues the healing and

conversion of our loved ones. No, my friends, there is absolutely no

denying the fact that Jesus rewards us even while we remain on earth. We

get more than we give.

 

And what is it that we give?

 

In all of the contact I have with lay apostles from around the world, one

thing stands out. We are an apostolate of showing up. We keep coming back.

We present ourselves for service regardless of our doubts about our

personal condition. We believe, because Jesus tells us, that what we have

to offer, our willingness, our sometimes flawed commitment, our love for

Him and for each other, is valuable, and indeed even priceless. Alone, each

one of us pledging our allegiance to the Father would impact the Renewal.

Together, our allegiance prayers and our willingness to present ourselves for service each day give heaven a powerful force with which to push God's healing Renewal into the world.

 

I think next year we can anticipate more failures and more triumphs. We

can anticipate old crosses, new crosses, and opportunities to assist others

with their crosses. This is life and it is the life Jesus has willed for

us. In the midst of our living out the next year of our life, if, in fact

God wills that we remain on earth for another year, we will, all together,

pledge our allegiance to the Father each day. And next January, when we

again look back, I believe we will all be a little holier, just as I pray

we are all a little holier now than we were last year. If this is how it

goes, my friends, it is good.

 

We must have complete confidence that we will have all that we need to

cope with anything that comes our way. Our confidence comes, not from our

trust in ourselves but from our trust in our beautiful Father, God.

 

With love and prayers,

 

Anne, a lay apostle
