BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY Black Saints of the day—From the Black Saints reference book (James Wesly Smith), 456 pages, paperback, 1000 lines of Black and African Saints in the Latin Rite, Coptic and Orthodox branches of the Mystical Body of Christ (combined Christianity) to year 599 A.D. Order quickly from www.booklocker.com/books/3088.html, from BarnesandNobles.com, Ingram Book Group internationally, Amazon, wherever online books are sold. Two AFRICANS who must be mentioned in the discussion of ancient African Christianity--because of their respective influences ORIGEN, and TERTULLIAN). First Tertullian: (Albeit, Tertullian later had problems with Latin Rite. If the reader is a member of those ways of worshipm read with discernment)> Tertullian (QUINTUS SEPTIMIUS FLORENS TERTULLIANUS). I was a prolific Church writer in the second and third centuries. The sunrise of my life was in and around 160 A.D. At Carthage. My father was a Roman Centurion in government (proconsular) service. I was an advocate in the Roman (civil) law-courts. I spoke and read proficiently both Greek and Latin, writing in the former. I converted to Christianity in my later years before 197 A.D. I was consecrated a priest in the Church of Carthage in and around the year 200 A.D. Around 206 A.D. I joined the Montanist sect of Christianity, I am thought to have separated from the Orthodoxy of the Church in or about about 211A.D. or 213 A.D. Later I separated from the Montanists and am said to have founded a Christian sect of his my own. Augustine reconciled my remaining followers (Tertullianists) to the Church. St Jerome says I lived to old age. The Carthage Church system included those who committed grievous sins confessed them to the bishop. I absolved them after due penance enjoined and performed, unless the case was in his judgment so grave that public penance was obligatory. Public penance was allowed only once. It lasted for protracted periods, even often until the death’s hour. At the end of it forgiveness and restoration were promised. At the prayer of martyrs, the term was frequently shortened. It has been said my Trinitarian teaching proves inconsistent, an amalgamation of the Roman doctrine with that of Justin martyr. But scholars have pointed out that I have the true formula for the Holy Trinity, tres Personae, una Substantia. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are numerically distinct, and each is they are of one substance, one state, and one power. My doctrine is Nicene derivative. Though not in Scripture, my list of customs observed by Apostolic tradition remains renowned: the baptismal renunciations and feeding with milk and honey, fasting Communion, offerings for the dead (Masses) on their anniversaries, no fasting or kneeling on the Lord's Day and between Easter and Pentecost, anxiety as to the falling to the ground of any crumb or drop of the Holy Eucharist, the Sign of the Cross made continually during the day. I am among the preeminent firsts of the Latin theological writers. I have developed a theological idiom of explanation. I have been said to have used new expressions. I am among the first witnesses to the Latin Bible being extant in my day. Scholars think I frequently translated from the Greek Bible in my writing. St.Perpetua (a pre-eminent African martyr of the early African Church) possessed one at Carthage in 203 A.D.

(Bl. Didacus Joseph of Cadiz). Mother Teresa There is only one God and He is God to all: therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic. My television is the Tabernacle. (Mother Teresa) Padre Pio - I never cease to implore blessings for you from Jesus, and to beg the Lord to transform you totally in Him. Oh my daughter! How beautiful is His face, how sweet His eyes and what a good thing it is to stay close to Him on the mount of His Glory! We must place all our desires and affections there� Contrary to our every merit, we are on the steps of Tabor, by having a firm determination to love and serve His divine goodness well (Letters III, pp. 409-410). Archbishop Fulton Sheen Starting out with a clean slate "Every human being at his birth has everything to learn. His mind is a kind of blank slate on which truths can be written. How much he will learn will depend on two things: how clean he keeps his slate and the wisdom of the teachers who write it." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Thank You, O God, for the grace of a vocation For being called to serve You alone, Leading me to make You my sole love, An unequal honor for my soul. Thank You, O Lord, for perpetual vows, For that union of pure love, For having deigned to unite Your pure heart with mine And uniting my heart to Yours in the purest of bonds. Thank You, O Lord, for the Sacrament of Anointing Which, in my final moments, will give me strength; My help in battle, my guide to salvation, Fortifying my soul till we rejoice forever. Thank You, O God, for all the inspirations That Your goodness lavishes upon me, For the interior lights given my soul, Which the heart senses, but words cannot express. Thank You, O Holy Trinity, for the vastness of the graces Which You have lavished on me unceasingly through life. My gratitude will intensify as the eternal dawn rises, When, for the first time, I sing to Your glory. (1286b) 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. JUNE 4 - I CALL YOU TO HUMILITY The Blessed Mother calls us to humility today: Dear children, today I call you to humility. These days you have felt great joy because of all the people who have come here, and to whom you have spoken with love about your experiences. With humility and an open heart, continue to speak with all who are coming (Weekly Message JUNE 27, 1985). Jesus also speaks of humility, of becoming children in the hands of God: At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heave?" He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Mt 18:1-4). Reflection: Christ points to the characteristics of a child to help his self-centered disciples get the message. We are not to be childish (like the disciples, arguing over petty issues), but rather childlike, with humble and sincere hearts. The disciples had become so preoccupied with the organization of Jesus' earthly kingdom, they had lost sight of its divine purpose. Instead of seeking a place of service, they sought positions of advantage. How easy it is to lose our eternal perspective and to seek to fulfill our own ambitions. How hard it is to identify with little children, humble and dependent people with little status or influence. Application: Thoreau once wrote, "Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights." Today as Our Lady asks, pray for this virtue which deepens our trust and peace. Medjugorje Day By Day June 03 - READ THE BIBLE "Ah! If we had faith! If we were penetrated by the thought that at this moment Our Lord is on the altar! We would be motionless, we would forget that we have bodies . . . . We have so much to ask for the Church, for sinners, for the Society, for our families, for the children entrusted to us, for ourselves" (St. Madeleine Sophie Barat). Mother Teresa We are all capable of good and evil. We are not born bad: everybody has something good inside. Some hide it, some neglect it, but it is there. God created us to love and to be loved, so it is our test from God to choose one path or another. Meditations by Padre Pio - Jesus you already come into my soul. With what food must I feed You? With love! But my love is false, Jesus I love You very much, make up for my love (AD,36). Archbishop Fulton Sheen The sign of character is in the little things "Faithfulness in great things is not uncommon; faithfulness in little things is rare but most indicative of true character." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Thank You, O God, for all the graces Which unceasingly You lavish upon me, Graces which enlighten me with the brilliance of the sun, For by them You show me the sure way. Thank You, O Lord, for creating me, For calling me into being from nothingness, For imprinting Your divinity on my soul, The work of sheer merciful love. Thank You, O God, for Holy Baptism Which engrafted me into Your family, A gift great beyond all thought or expression Which transforms my soul. Thank You, O Lord, for Holy Confession, For that inexhaustible spring of great mercy, For that inconceivable fountain of graces In which sin-tainted souls become purified. Thank You, O Jesus, for Holy Communion In which You give us Yourself. I feel Your Heart beating within my breast As You cause Your divine life to unfold within me. Thank You, O Holy Spirit, for the Sacrament of Confirmation, Which dubs me Your knight And gives strength to my soul at each moment, Protecting me from evil. (1286a) 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. JUNE 3 - READ THE BIBLE Today the Blessed Mother speaks of sacred scripture: Dear children, today I ask you to read the Bible in your homes every day. Put it in a visible place where it will always remind you to read it and pray it (Weekly Message October 18, 1984). St. Paul also speaks of the value of scripture: All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work (2Tm 3:16-17). Reflection: A record price of two million dollars was paid recently for a copy of the Latin gospels, dated 997. The book, originally printed in Germany, is 9 x 6� inches long and consists of 168 parchments pages illustrated with colorful scenes from scripture. Those who place such value on works of art could gain far richer treasure if they were to become as motivated to study the scriptures as were the monks who adorned them so beautifully. The original artists devoted painstaking effort to the long and arduous task of copying the gospels by hand and embellishing the margins. They were sparked by the ardent desire to glorify God and to remind their fellow men and women of the lasting beauty of his inspired word. Application: Today let us simply take Our Lady's advice to, "read the Bible every day in your homes, and let it be in a visible place so as to always encourage you to read it and pray." Medjugorje Day By Day June 02 - PRAY AND FAST Holy Folly! For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. Still, you can't get there from here apart from the cross. A whole world system has been erected in order to avoid that simple fact and it has looked for salvation in a thousand forms, all predicated on building heaven on earth by being rich enough, smart enough, socialist enough, white enough, black enough, German enough, religious enough, etc. The goal has always been the same: don't lose. Be a winner. Crosses are for suckers and saps and losers. And so, God made this ultimately foolish thing the ultimate wisdom. He made the ultimate sign of weakness the ultimate sign of strength. "The bread and wine, by the action of the Holy Spirit, really become the body and blood of Christ, who gives himself to be man's nourishment in his journey on earth." "The same logic of love precedes the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary and his making himself present in the Eucharist. It is `agape,' charity, love in the most beautiful and pure sense" (From Pope John Paul II's, April 8, 2004 homily). Mother Teresa - God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist. Meditations by Padre Pio - Let us look with profound gratitude at that sublime mystery which attracted the Heart of Jesus to His creature with such force; let us look at the great condescension with which He put on our own flesh to live the miserable life of this earth in our midst; let us muster up all the forces of our intellect to consider worthily the tenacious fervour and hardship of His apostolate, to recall the horror of His passion and martyrdom and to adore His Blood� royally offered to the last drop for the redemption of mankind; then with humble faith and the same ardent love with which He surrounds and pursues our soul, let us bow our impure foreheads at His feet (GF,170). Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The sign of character is in the little things "Faithfulness in great things is not uncommon; faithfulness in little things is rare but most indicative of true character." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html One day during Holy Mass, the Lord gave me a deeper knowledge of His holiness and His majesty, and at the same time I saw my own misery. This knowledge made me happy, and my soul drowned itself completely in His mercy. I felt enormously happy. (1801) One day, when I was preparing for Holy Communion and noticed that I had nothing to offer Him, I fell at His feet, calling down all His mercy upon my poor soul: "May Your grace, which flows down upon me from Your Compassionate Heart, strengthen me for the struggle and sufferings, that I may remain faithful to You. And, although I am such misery, I do not fear You, because I know Your mercy well. Nothing will frighten me away from You, O God, because everything is so much less than what I know [Your mercy to be]-I see that clearly. (1803) Today, I am not forcing myself to make any special preparation. I cannot think of anything, though I feel many things. I long for the time when God will come to my heart. I throw myself in His arms and tell Him about my inability and my misery. I pour out all the pain of my heart, for not being able to love Him as much as I want. I arouse within myself acts of faith, hope and charity and live on that throughout the day. (1813) 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. JUNE 2 - PRAY AND FAST In January of 1984, Jelena received the following locution: Pray and fast. For those who want to make a special sacrifice, fast up to three times a week at the most, but do not prolong it further (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 22, 1984). Jesus also advises his followers on fasting: And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you (Mt 6:16-18). Reflection: A fruitful fast often depends on the right attitude at the beginning. Here, then, is a condensed version of a prayer for just that purpose, written by Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries. Loving Father, today I have decided to fast. I can remember that your prophets of old fasted, that Jesus our Lord fasted, as did his disciples. The Blessed Virgin also fasted and has called me as well. Eternal Father, I offer this day of fasting to you. May it draw me closer to you, teach me your ways, and open my eyes to see your many gifts. May love for you and for my neighbor fill my heart to overflowing. Lord, may this fast help me to grow in understanding the hungry, the deprived, the poor. Let me see my possessions as gifts for the journey meant to be shared. Grant also to me the grace of humility and the strength to do your will. Lord, may this fast cleanse me of bad habits, calm my passions, and increase your virtues within me. And may you, Mother Mary, obtain for me the grace of a joyful fast, that my heart may sing with you a song of thanksgiving. I place my decision to fast firmly in your hands. Teach me through fasting to be more and more like your Son, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Amen. Application: Use Fr. Salvo's prayer on the morning of your next several fast days. Medjugorje Day By Day May 28 - LIVE LOVE Message of May 25, 2006 "Dear children! Also today I call you to put into practice and to live my messages that I am giving you. Decide for holiness, little children, and think of heaven. Only in this way, will you have peace in your heart that no one will be able to destroy. Peace is a gift, which God gives you in prayer. Little children, seek and work with all your strength for peace to win in your hearts and in the world. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of May 25, 2005 from Our Lady of Medjugorje "Dear children! Anew I call you to live my messages in humility. Especially witness them now when we are approaching the anniversary of my apparitions. Little children, be a sign to those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." This is the business of our life. By labor and prayer to advance in the grace of God, till we come to that height of perfection in which, with clean hearts, we may behold God. -St. Augustine Mother Teresa Without prayer I could not work for even half an hour. I get my strength from God through prayer. Meditations by Padre Pio - May 28 Let us become saints so that after having been together on earth we will be together forever in heaven. Archbishop Fulton Sheen Pride and Prejudice! "We can set ourselves above others, and feel superior to them in either of two ways: by our knowledge, or by our power; by flaunting what we know, or by using money and influence to make ourselves supreme. Such forms of behavior always spring from pride." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - February 2, [1938]. Darkness of the soul. Today is the Feast of the Mother of God, and in my soul it is so dark. The Lord has hidden Himself, and I am alone, all alone. My mind has become so dimmed that I see only fantasies about me. Not a single ray of light penetrates my soul. I do not understand myself or those who speak to me. Frightful temptations regarding the holy faith assail me. O my Jesus, save me. I cannot say anything more. I cannot describe these things in detail, for I fear lest someone be scandalized on reading this. I am astounded that such torments could befall a soul. O hurricane, what are you doing to the boat of my heart? This storm has lasted the whole day and night. When Mother Superior [Irene] came in to see me and asked, "Would you like to take advantage of this occasion, Sister, since Father An. [Andrasz] is coming to hear confessions?" I answered, no. It seemed to me that Father would not understand me, nor would I be able to make a confession. I spent the whole night with Jesus in Gethsemane. From my breast there escaped one continuous moan. A natural dying will be much easier, because then one is in agony and will die; while here, one is in agony, but cannot die. O Jesus, I never thought such suffering could exist. Nothingness: that is the reality. O Jesus, save me! I believe in You with all my heart. So many times have I seen the radiance of Your face, and now, where are You, Lord?... I believe, I believe, and again I believe in You, Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and in all the truths which Your holy Church gives me to believe... But the darkness does not recede, and my spirit plunges into even greater agony. And at that moment, such terrible torment overwhelmed me that now I am amazed at myself that I did not breathe my last, but this was for only a brief instant. (1558) 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. May 28 - LIVE LOVE Our Lady speaks of love today: Dear children, I wish to thank you for all your sacrifices and I also call you to the greatest sacrifice, the sacrifice of love. Without love, you will be unable to accept either me or my Son. Without love, you will not be able to convey your experiences to others. Therefore, dear children, live love within your hearts. (Weekly Message March 27, 1986). And from St. John's first letter, a famous passage on love: Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us ( 1 Jn 4:7-12). Reflection: Love can do the impossible. The New York Times once ran a story of a crippled woman leaving her crutches and running up a flight of stairs to rescue her 3 year old daughter, when fire threatened to trap the child in an upstairs bedroom. The mother, injured in a car crash 2 years previously, had been unable to walk without crutches ever since the accident. Realizing that the life of her little daughter was at stake, she momentarily forgot her own physical handicap. She rushed to the upper floor, grabbed the sleeping child and carried her to safety. For most of us, there are times when our capacity to love is obstructed by self-concern, worry, or a flagging faith. In such a case, the Blessed Mother recommends that we surrender these obstacles to her Son and, through prayer, seek the gift of divine love with a sincere heart. Application: Today, reflect prayerfully on John's full discourse on love (1 Jn 4:7-21), and then ask the Lord to instill this love within your heart. Medjugorje Day By Day May 31 - FEAST OF THE VISITATION "By partaking of the body and blood of Christ you become one body and one blood with him. In such a way you become bearers of Christ, his body and blood spread through your limbs. In this way you become, in the words of St. Peter, 'partakers of the divine nature'" (St. Cyril of Jerusalem). Archbishop Fulton Sheen The lure of evil! "It is a fact that more crimes are committed in one year on television than in six major cities of the United States; a threat or an act of violence is enacted every two and one half minutes on children's television shows. In the end, the police always catch up with the criminal, thus giving a smattering of justice. It is now a mark of a simpleton to exhibit a naive surprise at the quantity of evil that is in the world. This major interest in crime indicates something new - namely, the obtrusiveness of evil. Added to this is the psychological fact that evil is pictured in someone else." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Today the Lord said to me, Daughter, when you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul and ennobles it. Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul. When you approach the confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest, but I myself act in your soul. Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy. Tell souls that from this fount of mercy souls draw graces solely with the vessel of trust. If their trust is great, there is no limit to My generosity. The torrents of grace inundate humble souls. The proud remain always in poverty and misery, because My grace turns away from them to humble souls. (1602) O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul. Prolong my sufferings to infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love. I accept everything that Your hand will hold out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me. I will glorify You in abandonment and darkness, in agony and fear, in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart. In all things may You be blessed. My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern. (1662) 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. May 31 - FEAST OF THE VISITATION As she bore Jesus in her womb when visiting Elizabeth, so Our Lady wishes to bear us to he Son: Dear children, I am with you even if you are not conscious of it. I want to protect you from everything that Satan offers you, and through which he wants to destroy you. As I bore Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you into holiness. God wants to save you and sends you messages through men, nature, and so many things, which can only help you to understand that you must change the direction of your life. Therefore, little children, understand the greatness of the gift which God is giving you through me, so that I May protect you with my mantle and lead you the joy of life (Monthly Message March 25, 1990). And from Luke's gospel, the story of the Visitation: In those days Mary set out and went with hast to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord" (Lk 1:39-45). Reflection: On this feast of the Visitation, celebrated as the second joyful mystery of the rosary, Our Lady states that "as I bore Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you unto holiness." Here Mary draws a beautiful parallel: just as she carried the unborn Jesus to her cousin Elizabeth, so she wishes to bear each of us, safe and protected, to holiness-to intimacy with God. Her cousin was deeply aware of the greatness of the gift that Mary bore: "blessed is the fruit of your womb." In a like fashion, Our Lady asks us today "to understand the greatness of the gift God is giving you through me"--the gift of Medjugorje: the extraordinary graces, the messages which have changed the world, and the gift of her presence among us for so many years. Application: The spirit of gratitude is the theme of Mary's message today. In prayer, reflect on the great gifts Our Lady has given us through Medjugorje. Offer the Joyful Mysteries in thanksgiving SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH "Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)." Say this prayer for nine consecutive days. Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want! http://www.live365.com/stations/283424 BLACK CATHOLIC GOSPEL RADIO (Afrocentric Rosary, Stations of Cross, Chaplet of Divine Mercy) AFROCENTRIC CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/ChapletofDivineMercy.mp3 https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/ChapletPtII.wma https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/streamaudio/Chaplet_Pt_lII.wma FRIDAY-AFROCENTRIC SORROWFUL MYSTERIES OF ROSARY , AND STATIONS OF THE CROSS Part I https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/11_AfrocentricSorrowfulMysteries--TheCrossScourge_Artis.mp3 Part II https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/12_AfrocentricSorrowfulMysteries-CrownofThorns-Carrying.mp3 Part IIII https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/13_StationsoftheCrossI-VII_Artist_Album.mp3 STATIONS OF THE CROSS Part I https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/13_StationsoftheCrossI-VII_Artist_Album.mp3" Part II https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/14_StationsoftheCrossVIII-End_Artist_Album.mp3" For further information: BLACK CHRISTIANITY’S AFRICAN BEGINNINGS https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/ BLACK CATHOLICS BLOG http://blackcatholicsprophecymeditations.blogspot.com Black, African Saints www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/BlackSaintsMysticHoly.html Black and African Catholics Prophecy Meditations www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/recentmeditations.html https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/ Black African Catholics Coptic, Latin rite, Orthodox Prophecies Meditations https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/blog/ Black Saints Videos https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/BlackSaintsVideos.html Black Saints Videos Black Saints Videos Part I LINKS YouTube, Yahoo, MySpace, Google, DailyMotion, Blip.tv, Veoh, Stupid Videos, Sclipo, Viddler and Howcast Part II https://www.youtube.com/watchv=jMnYwZEfBg4 LINKS YouTube, Yahoo, MySpace, Google, Revver, DailyMotion, Blip.tv, Veoh, Stupid Videos, Sclipo, Viddler and Howcast A writer/producer of more than 30 audio visual film projects on the Black Genesis of Christianity, with an emphasis on the early African Liturgical Churches, Attorney James Wesly Smith ‘s 30 year effort resulted in the reference tome, Black Saints, Mystics, Holy Folk, (Ancient African Liturgical Church) Volume I, and II, detailing Black involvement in the Church from before 1 A.D.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!
BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY
Black Saints of the day—From the Black Saints reference book (James Wesly Smith), 456 pages, paperback, 1000 lines of Black and African Saints in the Latin Rite, Coptic and Orthodox branches of the Mystical Body of Christ (combined Christianity) to year 599 A.D. Order quickly from www.booklocker.com/books/3088.html, from BarnesandNobles.com, Ingram Book Group internationally, Amazon, wherever online books are sold.
Two AFRICANS who must be mentioned in the discussion of ancient African Christianity--because of their respective influences ORIGEN, and TERTULLIAN).
First Tertullian:
(Albeit, Tertullian later had problems with Latin Rite. If the reader is a member of those ways of worshipm read with discernment)> Tertullian
(QUINTUS SEPTIMIUS FLORENS TERTULLIANUS).
I was a prolific Church writer in the second and third centuries. The sunrise of my life was in and around 160 A.D. At Carthage. My father was a Roman Centurion in government (proconsular) service.
I was an advocate in the Roman (civil) law-courts. I spoke and read proficiently both Greek and Latin, writing in the former.
I converted to Christianity in my later years before 197 A.D. I was consecrated a priest in the Church of Carthage in and around the year 200 A.D. Around 206 A.D. I joined the Montanist sect of Christianity, I am thought to have separated from the Orthodoxy of the Church in or about about 211A.D. or 213 A.D.
Later I separated from the Montanists and am said to have founded a Christian sect of his my own. Augustine reconciled my remaining followers (Tertullianists) to the Church. St Jerome says I lived to old age.
The Carthage Church system included those who committed grievous sins confessed them to the bishop. I absolved them after due penance enjoined and performed, unless the case was in his judgment so grave that public penance was obligatory.
Public penance was allowed only once. It lasted for protracted periods, even often until the death’s hour. At the end of it forgiveness and restoration were promised. At the prayer of martyrs, the term was frequently shortened.
It has been said my Trinitarian teaching proves inconsistent, an amalgamation of the Roman doctrine with that of Justin martyr. But scholars have pointed out that I have the true formula for the Holy Trinity, tres Personae, una Substantia. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are numerically distinct, and each is they are of one substance, one state, and one power. My doctrine is Nicene derivative.
Though not in Scripture, my list of customs observed by Apostolic tradition remains renowned: the baptismal renunciations and feeding with milk and honey, fasting Communion, offerings for the dead (Masses) on their anniversaries, no fasting or kneeling on the Lord's Day and between Easter and Pentecost, anxiety as to the falling to the ground of any crumb or drop of the Holy Eucharist, the Sign of the Cross made continually during the day.
I am among the preeminent firsts of the Latin theological writers. I have developed a theological idiom of explanation. I have been said to have used new expressions. I am among the first witnesses to the Latin Bible being extant in my day. Scholars think I frequently translated from the Greek Bible in my writing. St.Perpetua (a pre-eminent African martyr of the early African Church) possessed one at Carthage in 203 A.D.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE "Now is the time"
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Dear Friends,
Christ the First-Fruits
“But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being.
For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life, but each one in proper order: Christ the first-fruits; then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ; then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death, for ‘he subjected everything under his feet.’ But when it says that everything has been subjected, it is clear that it excludes the one who subjected everything to him.
When everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.” 1 Cor 15:20–28
Yesterday it was sunny in the morning but it became cloudy in the afternoon and we had some rain during the night. It is still cloudy this morning but the rain is over. I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. and in the evening I was at the prayer meeting at our church.
A large crowd came and the Holy Spirit was stirring in a very special way. I am sure His presence was felt by everybody there.
This morning I will celebrate Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady at 9:30 a.m., as there are no Masses in the nearby churches. At 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 31, we will have a service at the chapel for the New Pentecost.
Here now is the message of Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, “My life on earth was lived in the power of the Holy Spirit. I died on the cross for your salvation and for the opening of the gate of heaven. I suffered horribly through My Passion until My death on the cross.
I am the first fruit of those who died and were buried. Just three days after My death, I rose again alive never to die again. It is through the power of God that I was able to come back to life. You, too, who are My followers, will be brought back to life at My second coming.
All the dead will rise for the Day of Judgment. My followers will come with Me to heaven and the others will be driven away to hell.
Now is the time to prepare for My second coming. The time of mercy will be over and I will come as your judge. I will judge the living and the dead. If you follow Me every day, you will be on My right when I return.
Pray for the New Pentecost that the Holy Spirit may come with great power to strengthen your faith and to give you the graces you need to avoid evil. Start your walk with Me today and do not delay. Now is the time.”
Father Melvin
Medjugorje Day By Day May 30 MEMORIAL DAY –
"No more than one visit to the Blessed Sacrament is sometimes necessary to change immediately the dispositions of a heart and to cause the sweetest repose and full contentment to succeed the greatest trouble and sorrow. Many have approached the Blessed Sacrament languishing and overwhelmed with grief, and have returned replenished with strength, courage, and even alacrity and joy" Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
Mother Teresa People ask me what advice I have for a married couple struggling in their relationship. I always "Pray and forgive".
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 30 Always be faithful to God in observing the promises you made Him, and pay no attention to the mocking of the foolish. Know that the Saints were always mocked by the world and the worldly, but even so they placed the world and its maxims under their feet. May31 The field of battle between God and Satan is the human soul. This is where it takes place every moment of our lives.
The soul must give free access to our Lord and be completely fortified by Him with every kind of weapon; His light must illuminate it to fight the darkness of error; he must put on Jesus Christ, His truth and justice, the shield of faith, the word of God to overcome such powerful enemies. To put on Jesus Christ we must die to ourselves.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
That sickening pit in man's soul can be hell!
"Hell - which once was pictured `way down there' - is back again, but now `way in here' in the breast of man. He who was wont in saner days to confess his faults, admit personal guilt, and try to make some amends for both, is induced to become a kind of regurgitating sewer, vomiting the rottenness within; an analysis of the stagnant waters that comes from unconsciousness promises a cure, but it is most cases no more saves than an analysis of the waters of a sinking ship saves the vessel.
The ancient principle of purgation of evil has now become a kind of curiosity in which a mind takes delight in its mental spewing after the fashion of the dog described in Sacred Scripture who `returns again to his vomit' (Proverbs 26: 11)."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy-to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out. Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth's exiles! O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, Who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our own power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You: anticipate us with Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death's hour. Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation's enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your children, await Your final coming-that day known to You alone. And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope: Through His merciful Heart, as through an open gate, we pass through to heaven. (1570)
Know, My daughter, that between Me and you there is a bottomless abyss, an abyss which separates the Creator from the creature. But this abyss is filled with My mercy. I raise you up to Myself, not that I have need of you, but it is solely out of mercy that I grant you the grace of union with Myself. (1576)

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.
May 30 - MEMORIAL DAY
In December of 1990, the Blessed Mother spoke of peace: Dear children , today I invite you to pray especially for peace. Dear children, without peace you cannot experience the birth of the infant Jesus either today nor in your daily lives.
Therefore, pray to the Lord of Peace that he May protect you with his mantle and help you to comprehend the great importance of having peace in your hearts. In this way you will be able to spread peace in hearts around the whole world. I am with you and intercede for you before God.
Pray , for Satan wants to destroy my plans for peace. Be reconciled with one another and, through your lives, help peace to reign over the whole earth. (Monthly Message December 25, 1990).
The psalmist voices a prayer for peace:
Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, And grant us your salvation. Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, For he will speak peace to his people, To his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
---Psalm 85:7-8
Reflections:
On this Memorial Day, it is appropriate that we have heard Our Lady speak again of peace, for this is the cause for which so many of our countrymen have given their lives. Their courage and sacrifice have led us closer to that time when, as Isaiah says, "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
Application:
In memory and in appreciation of all those who gave their lives for freedom, democracy and peace, let us offer the following prayer today:
Lord Jesus Christ, today we honor the memory of those men and women who have given their lives for America in the cause of freedom. They have worked, fought, and died for the heritage of freedom, brotherhood, and peace that they have passed on to us. In scripture you said to us:
"Greater love than this no man has: that he lay down his life for his friends." We recall that you yourself gave up your life for all people in the cause of true freedom -to save us from sin and selfishness.
As we remember our honored dead, teach us to appreciate the virtue of patriotism-a true and Christian love of country. May we love this Land of the Free and seek to make it a land of goodness, refuge, and equality for all Americans. We place our nation unreservedly in your hands, for in you we hope and trust. Amen.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 28 - LIVE LOVE
Message of May 25, 2006
"Dear children!
Also today I call you to put into practice and to live my messages that I am giving you. Decide for holiness, little children, and think of heaven. Only in this way, will you have peace in your heart that no one will be able to destroy. Peace is a gift, which God gives you in prayer.
Little children, seek and work with all your strength for peace to win in your hearts and in the world. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of May 25, 2005 from Our Lady of Medjugorje "Dear children! Anew I call you to live my messages in humility. Especially witness them now when we are approaching the anniversary of my apparitions. Little children, be a sign to those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
This is the business of our life. By labor and prayer to advance in the grace of God, till we come to that height of perfection in which, with clean hearts, we may behold God. -St. Augustine
Mother Teresa Without prayer I could not work for even half an hour. I get my strength from God through prayer.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 28 Let us become saints so that after having been together on earth we will be together forever in heaven.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen Pride and Prejudice! "We can set ourselves above others, and feel superior to them in either of two ways: by our knowledge, or by our power; by flaunting what we know, or by using money and influence to make ourselves supreme. Such forms of behavior always spring from pride."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - February 2, [1938]. Darkness of the soul. Today is the Feast of the Mother of God, and in my soul it is so dark. The Lord has hidden Himself, and I am alone, all alone. My mind has become so dimmed that I see only fantasies about me.
Not a single ray of light penetrates my soul. I do not understand myself or those who speak to me. Frightful temptations regarding the holy faith assail me. O my Jesus, save me. I cannot say anything more. I cannot describe these things in detail, for I fear lest someone be scandalized on reading this. I am astounded that such torments could befall a soul. O hurricane, what are you doing to the boat of my heart? This storm has lasted the whole day and night.
When Mother Superior [Irene] came in to see me and asked, "Would you like to take advantage of this occasion, Sister, since Father An. [Andrasz] is coming to hear confessions?" I answered, no. It seemed to me that Father would not understand me, nor would I be able to make a confession.
I spent the whole night with Jesus in Gethsemane. From my breast there escaped one continuous moan. A natural dying will be much easier, because then one is in agony and will die; while here, one is in agony, but cannot die. O Jesus, I never thought such suffering could exist. Nothingness: that is the reality.
O Jesus, save me! I believe in You with all my heart. So many times have I seen the radiance of Your face, and now, where are You, Lord?... I believe, I believe, and again I believe in You, Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and in all the truths which Your holy Church gives me to believe... But the darkness does not recede, and my spirit plunges into even greater agony. And at that moment, such terrible torment overwhelmed me that now I am amazed at myself that I did not breathe my last, but this was for only a brief instant. (1558)
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.
May 28 - LIVE LOVE
Our Lady speaks of love today:
Dear children, I wish to thank you for all your sacrifices and I also call you to the greatest sacrifice, the sacrifice of love. Without love, you will be unable to accept either me or my Son. Without love, you will not be able to convey your experiences to others. Therefore, dear children, live love within your hearts. (Weekly Message March 27, 1986).
And from St. John's first letter, a famous passage on love:
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us ( 1 Jn 4:7-12).
Reflection:
Love can do the impossible. The New York Times once ran a story of a crippled woman leaving her crutches and running up a flight of stairs to rescue her 3 year old daughter, when fire threatened to trap the child in an upstairs bedroom.
The mother, injured in a car crash 2 years previously, had been unable to walk without crutches ever since the accident. Realizing that the life of her little daughter was at stake, she momentarily forgot her own physical handicap. She rushed to the upper floor, grabbed the sleeping child and carried her to safety.
For most of us, there are times when our capacity to love is obstructed by self-concern, worry, or a flagging faith. In such a case, the Blessed Mother recommends that we surrender these obstacles to her Son and, through prayer, seek the gift of divine love with a sincere heart.
Application:
Today, reflect prayerfully on John's full discourse on love (1 Jn 4:7-21), and then ask the Lord to instill this love within your heart.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 29 - WITNESS TO THIS PEACE
"All the saints of history . . . have been distinguished for the love of Our Lord in the Eucharist and for Mary . . . . So there is no canonized saint to whom I cannot cry out with confidence to obtain for me a great love for Mary so that I may borrow her Immaculate Heart to come closer to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord in the Eucharist" (John Haffert).
Mother Teresa Start and end the day with prayer. Come to God as a child. If you find it hard to pray you can say, "Come Holy Spirit, guide me, protect me, clear out my mind so that I can pray." When you pray, give thanks to God for all His gifts because everything is His and a gift from Him. Your soul is a gift of God.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 29 Oh God!, let yourself always be heard, more and more, by my poor heart, and accomplish in me the work you have begun. I hear an interior voice which assiduously says to be: Sanctify yourself and others. Well, my dearest, I want to do this, but I don't know where to begin. Help me, you also. I know that Jesus is very fond of you, and you deserve this. Therefore, speak to Him for me, that He might grant me the grace of making me and less unworthy son of St. Francis, so that I can be an example to my confreres, in order that fervour might continue to grow more and more within me, making me have perfect capuchin.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The beast is loose!
"It was not that many years ago that H.G. Wells and others, in their false optimism, were telling us that in a short time we would be as gods, and that happiness would increase with economic prosperity. Religion, for the moment, was regarded as a kind of ambulance which took care of the sick until scientific progress could take over. Now alas, the beast who was evolving to become a god, has suddenly gone berserk before he has become a man."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - At that moment I saw Jesus, and from His Heart there issued those same two rays, which enveloped me, whole and entire. At the same moment, all my torments vanished. My daughter,the Lord said, know that of yourself you are just what you have gone through, and it is only by My grace that you are a participant of eternal life and all the gifts I lavish on you. And with these words of the Lord, there came to me a true knowledge of myself. Jesus is giving me a lesson in deep humility and, at the same time, one of total trust in Him. My heart is reduced to dust and ashes, and even if all people were to trample me under their feet, I would still consider that a favor.
I feel and am, in fact, very deeply permeated with the knowledge that I am nothing, so that real humiliations will be a refreshment for me. (1559)
And at that very moment I saw myself in some kind of a palace; and Jesus gave me His hand, sat me at His side, and said with kindness, My bride, you always please Me by your humility. The greatest misery does not stop Me from uniting Myself to a soul, but where there ispride, I am not there.
When I came to myself, I reflected on what had happened in my heart, thanking God for His love and for the mercy that He had shown me. (1563)
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.
May 29 - WITNESS TO THIS PEACE
The Blessed Mother speaks of peace today: Dear children, God has permitted me, in union with him, to found this oasis of peace. I call you to protect it. Through their indifference, some people destroy prayer and peace. And so I beseech you, witness to this peace by your lives, that it May be preserved (Weekly Message June 26, 1986).
And in Isaiah, the Lord promises a covenant of peace
For the mountains May depart, And the hills be removed, But my steadfast love shall not depart from you, And my covenant of peace shall not be removed, Says the Lord, who has compassion on you. --Isaiah 54:10
Reflection:
Sometimes a story of men living peace is more valuable than words about peace. F. H. Drinkwater tells such a story, set in Italy during World War II.
In the mountain village of Giazza, north of Verona, German paratroopers were going to execute some villagers, presumably for showing resistance. The parish priest, Fr. Domenico Mercante, offered himself as a hostage. The German accepted his offer, and decided to shoot him. When the time came, one of the firing-party refused to obey orders. "I can't shoot a priest," he said. He was placed at the priest's side, and both were shot together. The soldier's name is unknown.
Fifteen years later, the Bishop of Verona unveiled a simple white monument commemorating the two heroes.
The German embassy in Rome was represented, and the Italian Minister of Justice gave an address. He said, "The example of a priest and a soldier dying by the same rifle fire, in order that not only the written law but the unwritten law too should be respected, provides an example of great moral value. It gives rise to the hope that the cause for peace May find its strongest protection in the conscience of humble but heroic spirits."
Application:
Jesus and Our Lady both call us to live peace and pray for peace. Today, pray especially for peace, and strive to be a peacemaker this week within your family, at your workplace, and among your friends.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 27 - ESPECIALLY YOU, THE YOUNGEST
Medjugorje Monthly Message of May 25, 2004
Message of May 25, 2004 "Dear children! Also today, I urge you to consecrate yourselves to my Heart and to the Heart of my Son Jesus. Only in this way will you be mine more each day and you will inspire each other all the more to holiness. In this way joy will rule your hearts and you will be carriers of peace and love. Thank you for having responded to my call." 05/2004
"Helping Christ carry His cross fills one with a strong and pure joy, and those who may and can do so, the builders of God's kingdom are the most authentic children of God." -- St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Mother Teresa If you are searching for God and do not know where to begin, learn to pray and take the trouble to pray every day. You can pray at work - work doesn't have to stop prayer and prayer doesn't have to stop work. Tell Him everything, talk to Him. He is our father, He is to us all whatever religion we are. We are all created by God, we are his children. We have to put our trust in Him, believe in Him, work for Him. And if we pray, we will get all the answers we need.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 27 We should make an great effort to become holy, and render great service to God and our neighbor.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We can accept or reject our crosses, but we can't avoid them "There are only two things we can do with crosses - carry them or kick against them. We can merge them in God's plan for life and thus make them serve our inner peace and happiness, or we can stumble over them to the glen of weeping. Selfishness is the cause of much mental sickness; otherness, sympathy, forgiveness and self-discipline are the cure."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, in terrible bitterness and pain, I yet feel the caress of Your Divine Heart. Like a good mother, You press me to Your bosom, And even now You give me to experience what the veil hides. O my Jesus, in this wilderness and terror which surround me, My heart still feels the warmth of Your gaze, Which no storm can blot out from me, As You give me the assurance of Your great love, O God. O my Jesus, midst the great miseries of this life, You shine like a star, O Jesus, protecting me from shipwreck. And though my miseries be great, I have great trust in the power of Your mercy. O hidden Jesus, in the many struggles of my last hour, May the omnipotence of Your grace be poured out upon my soul, That at death's moment I may gaze upon You And see You face to face, as do the chosen in heaven. O my Jesus, midst the dangers which surround me, I go through life with a cry of joy, my head raised proudly, Because against Your Heart so filled with love, O Jesus, All enemies will be crushed, all darkness dispelled. (1479)
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. May 27 - ESPECIALLY YOU, THE YOUNGEST
The following was given to Ivan's prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo in July of 1990: Dear children, tonight your Mother would like to invite you again to prayer. Especially you, the youngest, who will be here in large numbers during these days. I call you to prayer. Pray, pray, pray, and renew your hearts so you can accept all that I tell you in my messages. Thank you, dear children, for you make me happy by your prayers (Visionary Prayer Group July 30, 1990).
St. John also affirms the young: I write to you, children, Because you know the Father. I write to you fathers, Because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, Because you are strong And the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the evil one. --1 John 2:14
Reflection:
Two fifteen-year-old boys alarmed onlookers in Norfolk, Virginia, who watched them drift down the forty-foot-deep Elizabeth River on a makeshift raft. It was a 3 X 6 foot mortar box used by brick masons. The Coast Guard finally rescued them as they were floating toward the open ocean in their unseaworthy craft.
Young people are blessed with a daring and adventurous spirit. But it is important that their enthusiasm and resourcefulness be wisely directed. At the same time, great care must be taken not to suppress their spirit and potential.
The Lord himself encouraged his apostles to "launch out into the deep" as fishers of men. But at the same time he made sure they were rooted in divine truth and love. Through prayer and example, we can help young people to be daring in faith and in living the messages of Our Lady.
Application:
In prayer today, call to mind the young people of your family as well as others that you know. Commend them to the Blessed Mother that she May renew their hearts and help them to live her messages. Also today, be especially conscious of your example of faith to the young people around you.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

Messages to The Two Patricks April 15-May 23, 2009
Wednesday 15 April 2009
My children, I Love you. I ask of you to stay with Me in your hearts. Do not let the world influence you at this time. These Words are to encourage you to stay in step with Me so that I can lead you through these worst of times. Allow Me to be your Shepherd for the Shepherd lays down His Life for His Sheep. The Way, at this time seems blurred to you but, I tell you, focus only on Me for I am with you.
My children, all seems well but even a lie can seem like the Truth. Stay with Me for the evil one is as a roaring lion. I Love you.
Wednesday 21 April 2009
Jesus:
Look to the Truth, My children, for I am Coming. I am the Light of this world. I am the One whom you have rejected by your lies and untruth. I will Come to cleanse this earth of all the evil that you have allowed to be nurtured by your unwillingness to see the Truth of My Ways.
I will see you no matter where you try to hide. I will cleanse all in My path as I Come and only those that have allowed Me into their hearts will survive in this time.
I Love you and I Warn you now that I Am Coming and My Scriptures will be fulfilled. I am calling you now for the last times. I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Friday 24 April 2009
Jesus:
Look to the Truth always, My children, and do not despair but remember I am Coming to free you from the chains that this world has imprisoned you in. I Love you, My children, and I am Coming, I am Coming to free you from the lies and untruth that this world forces upon you. Soon you will see the skies darken and My Light shall be seen and this world will realise what it has done and the battle will begin in earnest. My Army shall rise and march forward dissipating the darkness in front of them. Trust in Me, My children, and only Me. Read the Words of My Scriptures and believe for My Truth will prevail and the evil one will be cast into the pit. I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Friday 1 May 2009
Jesus:
Look always to the Truth and see how the evil one tries to influence you away from Me. Do not allow yourself to be deceived by complacency for they will wear you down through this. Do not think that you are beyond their reach for they can deceive even the strongest and have.
My little ones, stay close to Me and only look at My Ways and see what I say.
Look at the Truth and drink it into your everyday lives and I will be with you, helping to guide you away from the dangers of this world. Trust in Me. I, your God, Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Saturday 4 April 2009
Jesus:
My people, I Love you. Come, listen to My calls and do not allow the evil one to take you away from Me. Do not listen to the promises of this world for they are empty and will not bring you happiness or peace.
I am the Truth, the Way and the Light and trust in Me will bring you to Eternal Life with Me in My Father’s Kingdom.
I Love you, My children. Come, listen to My calls. Trust in Me. I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Wednesday 6 May 2009
My children, I Love you. I have taken your burdens but you must let go of them so that you can do My Work. There is much Work to be done and you must be about My Father’s business. I give you Graces to do this Work of Mine and you must do it in Love.
What is the point in only wanting to do a little of My Work because it suits you? What is the point of listening only to a few of My Words because they tell you that I Love you? No, children, this is not the way to follow Me. You must be prepared to take up your cross and follow Me where I lead you, all the time fighting against your very self, even if that means death.
My Truth is not for those who just wish to hear affirmations of how good they are; there is another side to My Truth, the side that is real and is a part of who I am. Take the Parable of the Wedding Feast, My children:
12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent.
13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called but few are chosen. Matthew 22:12-14
This, My children, is the real Truth and this is the Truth that I give you for these days. I Love you. Live as I have asked you to live.
Wednesday 13 May 2009
Jesus:
Look always to the Truth, children. Do not allow yourselves to be deceived by the lies of lucifer. It is he who paints the picture of lies that this world desires to follow; a picture that is glitter, spun to deceive you into thinking that the pleasures of this world are the way to go, a picture that will lead you into the fires of hell.
Avoid the things of this earth and only look to the Ways of your God and true happiness will be found and peace will be yours.
Come, listen to My Words of Truth and you will find New Life in Me.
Love you and call out to you in these Words to bring you to the safety of My Father’s Kingdom.
I, your Jesus, Love you. Come, I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Saturday 16 May 2009
Jesus:
Trust in Me, My children, and believe in the Words that I speak to you. Many will come and try to change My Word into something that cannot be recognised but My Word is the same now as it was when I walked this earth.
Understand, children, that I am the Truth and I do not change. It is you that must change in order to follow Me.
I am the Word and the Word will prevail and those that go against the Word will be cast into the pit, there to be consumed by the fires of their own making.
Read My Scriptures and see what I am saying to you for they are your lifeline in these times of deception.
I, your Jesus, Love you and call you to My Side.
I Love you, My children, I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Sorry for the delay in sending these out
Sunday 17 May 2009
Jesus:
People of this earth, look at Me! Do you really think that I do not exist?
You look at science and believe their lies for they are blind and do not truly understand the origin of life.
Life on this earth was created in an instant by My Father’s Hand.
Look at the Truth and see what I say: Adam and Eve were the first man and woman to walk this earth. They were the first to ignore Me and eat from the Tree of Knowledge and so sin was born in mankind.
Look at what I say, My people, and then you will find the true understanding of life.
I Love you, come and do not be afraid to be different and allow Love to flow once again.
Trust Me and believe and the Kingdom of God shall be yours. I Love you, come, I await your response. I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Monday 18 May 2009
Jesus:
Look, children, I give you Words that will help understand the times that you are now living in.
Trust in Me and believe that I am with you, ever helping when you ask.
Trust in your God and believe that I am with you; believe in Me for I am Coming soon to remove all evil.
I will take this earth to its knees in order that mankind understands what he has done to his God.
Now, children, is the time to turn back to Me and believe in what I am doing. I need your help in order to save as many of your brothers and sisters as possible. I will give you the Gifts that you need in order to do this Work but I need your faith in Me.
I, your Jesus, Love you. Come now and listen to My calls. I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Saturday 23 May 2009
My children, I Love you. I need you to co-operate with Me so that I can fulfil My Plans. I have called you to die to yourselves relentlessly. I have done this because the time is near and, through this, I bring you closer to Me. Through dying to self, I bring you to the point where you can see what you must do in order to follow Me. Self is blind so, therefore, I must heal you. The wheat grain must fall into the ground and die before it can produce fruit. You must relentlessly carry on in this mission.
Another of My Houses is ready for you. You must begin the process as I have shown you how to. Do not go against Me. Stay with Me for many Houses are needed.
I call to My children who read these Words: listen to Me as I call you. You pray to Me, you talk to Me, come now and help Me. Come and be part of the preparation that I make for the world, come and be part of the Salvation that takes place before your eyes.
I tell you this again:
15 And He said to them: Go ye into the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe: in My Name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick and they shall recover.
Mark 16:15-18
I Love you. Heed My calls.

Message to Patsy Soto April 25, 2009 & other messages on May 24
Message from God the Father to patsy Soto Monday- April 25, 2009 Adoration Chapel Approved for Release by Reverend Fr. Paul M. Caporali, Spiritual Adivisor for His Teachings’s Ministry and Reverend Fr Melvin Doucette Spiritual Director for Art & Patsy Soto
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all Nations
My precious children of My Son's Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I ,your Almighty Father thank you for answering this invitation from your Blessed Trinity, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit to attend these retreats. Unboundless Graces were given to this world because of your sacrifice, your willingness to surrender, to come to this Special Day of Renewal, this Special Day of Renunciation.
For that is what you did this day, you renewed the gift of your Spiritual Life, and quenched your Soul with an outpouring of Our Love upon each one of you. You renounced the world and opened your heart and soul to receive Rays of My Son's Merciful Heart. It was also because of your willingness, which then drew these Rays upon mankind.
This world has closed itself off to your Almighty God, but you My children received all the Graces that the world did not want. Now, My children, continue on this Spiritual Journey with My Holy Son and you will walk in Grace! Continue on this Spiritual Journey with My Holy Son and you will help to bring lost souls back to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Continue on this Spiritual Journey with My Holy Son and a New Pentecost will descend upon this world.
I invite all to open hearts to unite in prayer. I invite all to attend the Novenas of World Peace which is a gift of love from My Son to the world, to draw more souls to prayer and away from the worldly ways. My Son requested that our little ones begin a Novena For World Peace Pilgrimage and it has continued now each year during the special feast days of the Holy Cross and your Blessed Sorrowful Mother and this has brought many special graces upon your world.
Oh, how you have pleased Me, My children, and because you have answered Our Call to attend the retreats which took place on the Holy Feast of the Ascension, and will take place on the Holy Feast of Pentecost Sunday, ending the Retreat on the Feast of the Most Holy Blessed Trinity.
I desire to give you very special Graces. I invite you, my children, to accept My Son's and My Invitation to attend the Novena For World Peace Retreat Pilgrimage to Medjugorje. You do not realize the power of prayers! Through attending this Novena For World Peace Retreat Pilgrimage, even chastisements can be mitiga ted some even averted! It is up to each one of you to open your hearts, to respond to our plea my children, I love you and want to show you this love as a Father who desires only to give the best to His children, your Abba Father.
Retreatant's Messages from Jesus given them on Sunday May 24, 2009 during Retreat with Jesus
Messages Received at Retreat from Jesus to Mary
Just knowing that Jesus desired this retreat for us so that he could personally instruct us and reveal Himself to us in a deeper way made this very special for me. I have always felt that people who receive personal messages from Jesus were specially chosen to receive these extraordinary graces and that the average person could not expect Jesus to speak to them.
But through these lessons, Jesus is teaching us that He wants to speak to each of us individually if on ly we would open the “ears of our soulsto really listen and hear what He is saying to us! For someone like me, this is not easy, and it definitely takes a lot of TRUST in Our Lord! In a different group of people I think it would have been much more difficult to share something this personal with others, but because of our closeness to each other in this ministry, I felt quite comfortable and safe sharing with the others these words from Jesus.
Fr. Reiser also did a beautiful job of explaining the mystery of the Holy Trinity in an understandable way, and his teachings about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit were very clear and simple. I actually feel that I will remember the examples he gave us to illustrate the various Gifts of the Holy Spirit!
1. My child , you are My beloved, precious daughter, and I love you. Remain in My love always. As you spend more time with Me, you will come to know Me more intimately, and your love for Me will grow ever deeper. Do not be disturbed that the rest of the world does not understand you, as this is to be expected when you are following in My footsteps.
2. My child, I want you to be pure and holy as I am holy. Continue to confess your sins frequently. Live in My light as My child, and remain close to Me. Every time you confess your sins to one of my priest sons, you are given immeasurable graces to help you grow in holiness.
(After meditating on the Stations of the Cross) I Who was sinless came to earth to redeem the world from sin. I willingly took all the sins of the world past, present and future on My shoulders. How I am hurt by mankind’s indifference to My sacrifice... Console Me as My beloved Veronica did, for the sins of the world and for those who refuse to come to Me for forgiveness. Your Jesus Crucified
3. My child, good and evil have existed since the beginning of the world. The evil one in his pride has tried to thwart My plans over and over. He does not give up. I am Almighty God, and I have already won the battle and this entire war! My plan will NOT fail! I call you to stand beside Me now and fight the enemy with all your strength. I will lead you. Have courage; be not afraid. I love you!
Messages Received at Retreat from Jesus to Gerry Anderson
What I learned at the Novena for World Peace Retreat:
I was excited to come to this retreat, because I knew it would be special. I have written messages before, so that was not new to me. What was new, was that when I meditated on the stations of the cross as directed by Patsy, I felt so very much emotion. When I read the message on that station, I became overwhelmed with emotion and cried.
I was glad that I cared so much about Jesus suffering. Sometimes I feel like I take Him for granted. The best thing about this retreat, though, is what has happened since the retreat. My prayers are better. They are more sincere. I feel stronger in my faith. I feel like God is blessing us. We have had financial struggles and they seem to suddenly be lifting.
My daughter, Veronica, cal led today and was much better, more like herself. She had called during the retreat to tell us that Mark had a couple more seizures, which was really bothering her. The doctor reassured her that this was normal for brain cancer patients, and not to be too surprised.
Thank you, Patsy for having the courage to do God’s will.
Message #1: My child, this comes to your mind very strongly now because of the culture in which you find yourself living. As in my day, the leaders in the church, which would be the synagogue, did not recognize me, even when I was among them. So, too, the world does not recognize my children who resemble me. They treat my children just as they treated me, and there were very few among them who stood up for me.
Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea were among them. Who today would represent these two men? Would it be the Holy Father and those who support him? Would it be the parish priest who allowed this Novena? Would it be Fr. Reiser? My priest-sons who resemble me--those of you who are blessed with my Holy spirit recognize the spirit of truth when it is spoken.
Not all in the world do--it is to them that I send you to proclaim the good news of the gospel. Proclaim it for all the world to see. Of whom should you be afraid? Fear not men, but fear God who has the power to send you to everlasting life or to the fires of hell.
My child be little and then I will be able to speak to you more clearly. Concentrate on the simple, little things and I will use them to teach you great lessons that you can apply to your life. To be pure is to be little. A baby is pure. Jesus is pure. Mary is pure. Try to imitate the little one.
Message #2: My child, I will make this simple for you. Lawlessness is a lack of law. The reason that struck you is that you know that there is a lack of my law in your land in this day.
No longer is my holy day honored--there are baseball games and picnics. Nobody thinks of honoring their savior. Because they have accepted this lack of law, their consciences are seared and they no longer know the truth. The truth has become inconvenient and uncomfortable, where it used to be the normal way of life. Think about this, my children.
How I have become an object of derision and scorn even in this day. Those who defend my honor are mocked20and treated with contempt. You must hold onto the truth and proclaim it. The day will come when all who mock me will be put to shame. Do not allow yourselves to be among them. I have called you out of darkness into my own wonderful light.
Oh Jesus, when I saw you stripped of your clothes, I thought about how the sins of the flesh so offend you. The awfulness of you being stripped and naked before your tormentors fills my heart with dread.
Why did god allow them to do this to you, to let them go so far with their evil against you. My mind has a har time comprehending this--the shame of it all. How are we to view this station?
My child, I love you, my children so very much. If I had not allowed such indignities, then how could one of my children who ever had to suffer such indignity ever be able to identify with me? I wished to leave no one out, when I suffered my passion and death. No person can ever say that they suffered more than I did, for I gave my all for the world. I allowed myself to be emptied for their sake.
I tell you now, from my cross, so that you will retain it in your heart--I suffered all so that you and all those sitting here in this church could have eternal life and be happy with me in heaven. Do not waste my gifts to you. I you do, then I will give them to another.
Message #3: All who do what is right are on the side of Christ. The good people who held the tea parties, they were on the side of right. Good people can see what is happening in your land. They are doing20the work of Christ--being his hands, his feet, his voice. You must do so also, my child. Do not fear doing what is right, because the one who does what is right is pleasing in my sight.
You hold a gift in your hearts this day. Do not let satan tear it away from you. Hold fast to this gift and claim it as your own. When the waves of doubt wash over you, stand up and claim that you are a child of the King and you have inherited his own righteousness. Spend time with me before the blessed sacrament, for I am lonely for your companionship. This pleases me very much, my children.
the statue, I prayed to the blessed mother for Mark and Veronica for their suffering to end. It was as if I heard her say--I had to accept my suffering. You need to do the same. What does that mean for us? That you need to hold Mark and Veronica up continually in prayer during this time. Do not relax your efforts, but keep the prayers strong and continuous for their safety.
Message #4: (This one I shared spontaneously with the group) My child, I so often have the desire for my children to listen to my whispering voice--but they hear a word, but then they dismiss it, as if they made it up themselves. You must listen, clear your mind of all other distractions, and if a word or a sentence comes to you, then write that down in faith--the rest will come in the same way--maybe haltingly at first, but then the Spirit will begin to ramble on and sometimes the pen will fly so swiftly that you cannot keep up.
In this way, you are hearing my words from deep within--these words are for all the faithful of this world. None is barred from my grace. I wish to enjoin this upon you this day. Seek my face and I wil l visit you often throughout your day. You need not fear, my little ones, for I am pleased to bring my gifts upon each one of you.
Messages Received at Retreat from Jesus to Linda
A retreat. Time spent with God. Away from all the worldly things that keep pulling us away from those things we want to do with God like praying, daily masses, adoration, etc. This retreat was really great. It was like a class in listening to God talking to you and writing it down.
Some people were sure God doesn’t speak to them, but then they wrote what was in their hearts. Some people had a sentence, or several paragraphs. All were beautiful. Many thoughts were repeated in various people’s writings. Some were more advanced in hearing Jesus and had long beautiful. Profound writings. I left feeling like I was on a high and it is still lasting two days later. Thank You Jesus !!
Thoughts from the Holy Spirit:
I am here for you always.
I am love for you always.
I am the sanctifier for you always.
I am your strength Rely on Me. You think you cannot do things, but with My help all things are possible. Listen to Me in the stillness of your heart and I will speak to you. Come to Me daily for nourishment. You will grow stronger in time to come. I will lead you on the path I wish you to go. Wait on Me. I want you. I love you. I need you. You have been blessed by the Holy Spirit.
Thoughts from Jesus:
Wait on God his plan is perfect. Do not do what in your meager understanding tells you but wait on the Divine Master. Trust in God, He is trustworthy. I love you my child. You’re Jesus of Mercy.
Remember when you thought you could not be called righteous as you knew you=2 0had sinned. I your Lord of Mercy came to take away that sin that you may be called righteous, and a child of God. You are my child and I fight to keep my children with me. Do not turn away from me. The evil one is constantly trying to tempt you away from God. I have given you the sacrament of reconciliation where you can reconcile with your God and once again be righteous in him.
So, be strong in Christ. Continue to do righteous deeds and acts of love. Abide in Me as I abide in you. I bless you and your family my beloved. Thank you for coming today to my retreat and for trusting in me. You have been given many graces, not just for you but also for your family.
Your daughter, Stacey, has profited much from you coming today. Her love is softening toward you. Your grandchildren have also received many gifts from today. Try hard my beloved child to come to the next two retreats. Their rewards are richer than pure gold. I love you. You’re Jesus of Mercy.
This world is in chaos due to its lawlessness. They choose not to follow my commandments. They turn their backs on me.&n bsp; They doubt I exist. It is easier to follow the ways of the world. They do not want me to be their God. They choose money and power.
Pride propels them onward down the road to perdition. You my beloved children are to be the light that sets their feet on the road to Me. To heaven, to eternity with a loving God. Why, Oh why do they turn away you ask.
It is because of original sin and their weakness to sin. Pray for them my child. Offer your sufferings for them. Many are going to Hell as they have no one to pray for them. This is your goal to save souls.
Jesus would go through his sufferings to save just one soul. What will you offer my child? Do not be afraid to suffer as I am with you always. Choose for God. I need your prayers and sufferings to save souls. I love you my child. You’re Jesus of Mercy.
I died for your sins. I pick up the cross and carry it though it was heavy. I might have wished this suffering to pass me by. Be willing to pick up your cross my beloved every day.
Look for other opportunities to offer sufferings not just your health. Go=2 0out of your way to help someone or go the extra effort to do any task/chore, but do it out of love for me. I love you my child. You’re Jesus of Mercy.
Messages Received at Retreat from Jesus to Donna
I felt very comforted and at Peace at the retreat. I liked how we broke for eating and shared our food, did not quite understand that in the earlier instructions. I was surprised how fast the time went. I was dreading being at a retreat "the whole day" because I just came off a Cursillo retreat last weekend and was still very tired. One thing, though, during the Rosary at St Patrick's, I felt this enormous wave of stillness, and either fell aslee p for a few minutes, or rested in the Spirit.
I think I rested in the Spirit because I could still hear everything around me. That hasn't happened to me very often, so I am surprised when it does. I especially liked the sharing of messages from everyone; could really tell that they were from Jesus. How awesome that He spoke to us directly !!!!!
Thank you, Patsy, for being the instrument of the Lord. Following are the messages I received.
You are forgiven of your sins, do not dwell on them, for I have died for you. My child, do not worry. Accept the joy that you have, and share it with others. Be in peace. Oh the pain. Oh the wonder of it all. My child, do not be sad, for I am with you always. Do not be afraid, for I have died for you and am with you.
Come to me and pray, and I will hear you.
Come to me and laugh, for I have great joy for you.
Come to me and cry, for I fell your pain.
Come be with me. I am with you always.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 27 - ESPECIALLY YOU, THE YOUNGEST
Medjugorje Monthly Message of May 25, 2004 Message of May 25, 2004 "Dear children! Also today, I urge you to consecrate yourselves to my Heart and to the Heart of my Son Jesus. Only in this way will you be mine more each day and you will inspire each other all the more to holiness. In this way joy will rule your hearts and you will be carriers of peace and love. Thank you for having responded to my call." 05/2004
"Helping Christ carry His cross fills one with a strong and pure joy, and those who may and can do so, the builders of God's kingdom are the most authentic children of God." -- St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
I give you my blessing. Take courage, I am with you. Tell Medjugorje I am with you. Protect Medjugorje." Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 20
Mother Teresa
If you are searching for God and do not know where to begin, learn to pray and take the trouble to pray every day. You can pray at work - work doesn't have to stop prayer and prayer doesn't have to stop work. Tell Him everything, talk to Him. He is our father, He is to us all whatever religion we are. We are all created by God, we are his children. We have to put our trust in Him, believe in Him, work for Him. And if we pray, we will get all the answers we need.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 27 We should make an great effort to become holy, and render great service to God and our neighbor.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We can accept or reject our crosses, but we can't avoid them
"There are only two things we can do with crosses - carry them or kick against them. We can merge them in God's plan for life and thus make them serve our inner peace and happiness, or we can stumble over them to the glen of weeping. Selfishness is the cause of much mental sickness; otherness, sympathy, forgiveness and self-discipline are the cure."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, in terrible bitterness and pain,
I yet feel the caress of Your Divine Heart.
Like a good mother, You press me to Your bosom,
And even now You give me to experience what the veil hides.
O my Jesus, in this wilderness and terror which surround me,
My heart still feels the warmth of Your gaze,
Which no storm can blot out from me,
As You give me the assurance of Your great love, O God.
O my Jesus, midst the great miseries of this life,
You shine like a star, O Jesus, protecting me from shipwreck.
And though my miseries be great,
I have great trust in the power of Your mercy.
O hidden Jesus, in the many struggles of my last hour, May the omnipotence of Your grace be poured out upon my soul, That at death's moment I may gaze upon You And see You face to face, as do the chosen in heaven.
O my Jesus, midst the dangers which surround me, I go through life with a cry of joy, my head raised proudly, Because against Your Heart so filled with love, O Jesus, All enemies will be crushed, all darkness dispelled. (1479)
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.
May 27 - ESPECIALLY YOU, THE YOUNGEST
The following was given to Ivan's prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo in July of 1990:
Dear children, tonight your Mother would like to invite you again to prayer. Especially you, the youngest, who will be here in large numbers during these days. I call you to prayer.
Pray, pray, pray, and renew your hearts so you can accept all that I tell you in my messages. Thank you, dear children, for you make me happy by your prayers (Visionary Prayer Group July 30, 1990).
St. John also affirms the young:
I write to you, children,
Because you know the Father.
I write to you fathers,
Because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young people,
Because you are strong
And the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the evil one.
--1 John 2:14
Reflection:
Two fifteen-year-old boys alarmed onlookers in Norfolk, Virginia, who watched them drift down the forty-foot-deep Elizabeth River on a makeshift raft. It was a 3 X 6 foot mortar box used by brick masons. The Coast Guard finally rescued them as they were floating toward the open ocean in their unseaworthy craft.
Young people are blessed with a daring and adventurous spirit. But it is important that their enthusiasm and resourcefulness be wisely directed. At the same time, great care must be taken not to suppress their spirit and potential.
The Lord himself encouraged his apostles to "launch out into the deep" as fishers of men. But at the same time he made sure they were rooted in divine truth and love. Through prayer and example, we can help young people to be daring in faith and in living the messages of Our Lady.
Application:
In prayer today, call to mind the young people of your family as well as others that you know. Commend them to the Blessed Mother that she May renew their hearts and help them to live her messages. Also today, be especially conscious of your example of faith to the young people around you.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

"Amend your life"
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
Dear Friends,
Our Future Destiny
"For we know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven. For in this tent we groan, longing to be further clothed with our heavenly habitation if indeed, when we have taken it off, we shall not be found naked.
For while we are in this tent we groan and are weighed down, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a first installment.
So we are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body and go home to the Lord. Therefore, we aspire to please him whether we are at home or away. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil." 2 Cor 5:1-10
I offer you a message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
"It is a fact that all human life will come to an end. One day you will die and leave your body behind. You are all called to your eternal home in heaven, where you will live with the Father, the Holy Spirit and Me, the Son of God, together with My Mother and all the angels and saints.
You cannot reach this heavenly home on your own but only by cooperating with the grace I won for you. The Father and I have sent you the Holy Spirit to live with you and to help you on your journey to avoid evil and to do good.
Be strong, My brothers and sisters, and walk by faith every day. You cannot do anything on your own but know that I have come to live among you to teach you and to suffer and die for you to redeem you.
I am risen from the dead and now I live at the right hand of the Father. All of you will have to appear before Me and receive the true judgment. Your state of life when you come before My judgment seat will determine where you will go. Amend your life while there is still time so that you may enter your heavenly home."

"Pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit" Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Gospel Teaching
Now I am reminding you, brothers, of the Gospel I preached to you, which you indeed received and in which you also stand. Through it you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried: that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures; that he appeared to Kephas, then to the Twelve.
After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective. Indeed, I have toiled harder than all of them; not I, however, but the grace of God that is with me. Therefore, whether it be I or they, so we preach and so you believed.1 Cor 15:1-11
Here is a message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, I appointed the Apostles to go throughout the world to preach the Gospel to everyone. It was after receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost that they began the work of the Church. One of the great Apostles was Paul who was called Saul before his conversion. He worked hard going from country to country setting up the Church with his preaching and his great example.
I appeared to him a number of times to enlighten him and to strengthen him. The first time I spoke to him was the day he was converted. He was on the way to Damascus to arrest My followers when he was struck down by a powerful light and he heard my word: Why are you persecuting Me? From that day he was My follower and he did great work everywhere he went. He became My great friend.
I call you all to be My friend. Receive the New Pentecost as St. Paul did and you will be on fire to spread My word to all those you meet. Pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit on you and upon the whole world.
Father Melvin

"It is time to receive the New Pentecost"
Thursday, May 21, 2009
Dear Friends,
Rules of Order
"So what is to be done, brothers? When you assemble, one has a psalm, another an instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything should be done for building up. If anyone speaks in a tongue, let it be two or at most three, and each in turn, and one should interpret.
But if there is no interpreter, the person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God. Two or three prophets should speak, and the others discern. But if a revelation is given to another person sitting there, the first one should be silent.
For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged. Indeed, the spirits of prophets are under the prophets' control, since he is not the God of disorder but of peace." 1 Cor14:26-33
Our Lord and Our Savior gave a message to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "The many gifts that My followers receive through the Holy Spirit are to be used in a proper way. When you assemble to pray, each one is to come with a contribution to build up the church. One comes with a reading from the Bible, another comes with a teaching about an aspect of the faith, another with a revelation that is in conformity with the Bible, another can speak in tongue and another can interpret what was said in tongue.
Prophecy is very important at such prayer meetings. It shows that the Holy Spirit is present and He has a word for the assembly. Listen attentively to these prophetic words for they are a teaching for you.
The Holy Spirit uses any person He wants to bring His word to the group. Usually when one is a prophet, he or she will remain a prophet. The Church I founded has to be filled with the Holy Spirit and He has to touch all the members of the Church.
If a person is not opened to the Spirit, he or she is like a dead member. It is time to wake up and to receive the New Pentecost that the Father and I are sending throughout the world. How I wish that all believers were renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray that the New Pentecost may touch everyone."

Eileen Renders Reflections After Jesus' Message Of Today (Sunday)
Just wanted to share this with everyone!
Eileen
Note: Sunday May 24, 2009
The priest’s Homily for today. Today when the priest spoke to us about how God made us so that our hearts will be discontent until they rest in Him, and then followed up with saying; We must first be cleansed of sin before we can meet God face to face, I was reminded of those words Jesus said: Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God.
Then I felt that when we are purified and welcomed into heaven, perhaps when we gaze upon the face of God, we will see tiny reflections of ourselves. And maybe we will all see God a tiny bit differently God did make us in His own likeness because He loved us so!

Medjugorje Day By Day May 27 - ESPECIALLY YOU, THE YOUNGEST
Medjugorje Monthly Message of May 25, 2004
Message of May 25, 2004 "Dear children! Also today, I urge you to consecrate yourselves to my Heart and to the Heart of my Son Jesus. Only in this way will you be mine more each day and you will inspire each other all the more to holiness. In this way joy will rule your hearts and you will be carriers of peace and love. Thank you for having responded to my call." 05/2004
"Helping Christ carry His cross fills one with a strong and pure joy, and those who may and can do so, the builders of God's kingdom are the most authentic children of God." -- St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Mother Teresa
If you are searching for God and do not know where to begin, learn to pray and take the trouble to pray every day. You can pray at work - work doesn't have to stop prayer and prayer doesn't have to stop work. Tell Him everything, talk to Him. He is our father, He is to us all whatever religion we are. We are all created by God, we are his children. We have to put our trust in Him, believe in Him, work for Him. And if we pray, we will get all the answers we need.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 27 We should make an great effort to become holy, and render great service to God and our neighbor.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We can accept or reject our crosses, but we can't avoid them "There are only two things we can do with crosses - carry them or kick against them. We can merge them in God's plan for life and thus make them serve our inner peace and happiness, or we can stumble over them to the glen of weeping. Selfishness is the cause of much mental sickness; otherness, sympathy, forgiveness and self-discipline are the cure."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, in terrible bitterness and pain,
I yet feel the caress of Your Divine Heart.
Like a good mother, You press me to Your bosom,
And even now You give me to experience what the veil hides.
O my Jesus, in this wilderness and terror which surround me,
My heart still feels the warmth of Your gaze,
Which no storm can blot out from me,
As You give me the assurance of Your great love, O God.
O my Jesus, midst the great miseries of this life,
You shine like a star, O Jesus, protecting me from shipwreck.
And though my miseries be great,
I have great trust in the power of Your mercy.
O hidden Jesus, in the many struggles of my last hour,
May the omnipotence of Your grace be poured out upon my soul,
That at death's moment I may gaze upon You
And see You face to face, as do the chosen in heaven.
O my Jesus, midst the dangers which surround me,
I go through life with a cry of joy, my head raised proudly,
Because against Your Heart so filled with love, O Jesus,
All enemies will be crushed, all darkness dispelled. (1479)
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.
May 27 - ESPECIALLY YOU, THE YOUNGEST
The following was given to Ivan's prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo in July of 1990: Dear children, tonight your Mother would like to invite you again to prayer. Especially you, the youngest, who will be here in large numbers during these days. I call you to prayer.
Pray, pray, pray, and renew your hearts so you can accept all that I tell you in my messages. Thank you, dear children, for you make me happy by your prayers (Visionary Prayer Group July 30, 1990).
St. John also affirms the young:
I write to you, children,
Because you know the Father.
I write to you fathers,
Because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young people,
Because you are strong
And the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the evil one.
--1 John 2:14
Reflection:
Two fifteen-year-old boys alarmed onlookers in Norfolk, Virginia, who watched them drift down the forty-foot-deep Elizabeth River on a makeshift raft. It was a 3 X 6 foot mortar box used by brick masons. The Coast Guard finally rescued them as they were floating toward the open ocean in their unseaworthy craft.
Young people are blessed with a daring and adventurous spirit. But it is important that their enthusiasm and resourcefulness be wisely directed. At the same time, great care must be taken not to suppress their spirit and potential.
The Lord himself encouraged his apostles to "launch out into the deep" as fishers of men. But at the same time he made sure they were rooted in divine truth and love. Through prayer and example, we can help young people to be daring in faith and in living the messages of Our Lady.
Application:
In prayer today, call to mind the young people of your family as well as others that you know. Commend them to the Blessed Mother that she May renew their hearts and help them to live her messages. Also today, be especially conscious of your example of faith to the young people around you.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 26- ST. PHILIP NERI Medjugorje Day By Day May 26- ST. PHILIP NERI "In the Eucharist we have Jesus, we have his redemptive sacrifice, we have his resurrection, we have the gift of the Holy Spirit, we have adoration, obedience and love of the Father" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 60).
St. Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein), wrote, "The Lord is present in the tabernacle in his divinity and in his humanity. He is not present for his own sake but for ours: it is his delight to be with the `children of men.' He knows, too, that, being what we are, we need his personal nearness. In consequence, every thoughtful and sensitive person will feel attracted and will be there as often and as long as possible. And the practice of the Church, which has instituted perpetual adoration, is just as clear."
Mother Teresa I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence - we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters. Prayer feeds the soul - as blood is to the body, prayer is the soul - and it brings you closer to God. It also gives you a clean and pure heart. A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 26 Have you ever seen a field of fully ripened grain? You will see that some ears are tall and vigorous; while others are bent to the ground. Try to take the tall one, the most vain, you will see that it is empty; if instead you take the low ones, the most humble, these are laden with grain. From this you can deduce that vanity is empty.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Crosses are easier to bear when we have prepared properly
"Crosses are inescapable. Those who start with self-love have already created for themselves the possibility of millions of other crosses from those who live by the same pride. But those who discipline themselves and tame the ego by little acts of self-denial have already prepared themselves to meet crosses from the outside; they have familiarized themselves with them, and the shock is less when they are thrust on their shoulders."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Fourth day. O Jesus, I have been feeling extraordinarily well, close to Your Heart, during this retreat. Nothing disturbs the depths of my peace. With one eye, I gaze on the abyss of my misery and with the other, on the abyss of Your mercy. (1345) Today, the Lord gave me to know interiorly that He would never abandon me. He gave me to know His majesty and His holiness as well as His love and mercy towards me; and He gave me a deeper knowledge of my own wretchedness. However, this great misery of mine does not deprive me of trust. On the contrary, the better I have come to know my own misery, the stronger has become my trust in God's mercy. I have come to understand how all this depends on the Lord. I know that no one will touch a single hair of my head without His willing it. (1406)
Lord, although You often make known to me the thunders of Your anger, Your anger vanishes before lowly souls. Although You are great, Lord, You allow yourself to be overcome by a lowly and deeply humble soul. O humility, the most precious of virtues, how few souls possess you! I see only a semblance of this virtue everywhere, but not the virtue itself. Lord, reduce me to nothingness in my own eyes that I may find grace in Yours. (1436)
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.
May 26 - ST. PHILIP NERI
During a locution to Jelena, the Madonna gave this advice:
Dear children, open your hearts and let Jesus guide you. For many people it seems to be hard, but it is really so easy! You don't have to be afraid because you know that Jesus will never leave you, and you know that he leads you to salvation (Locution Jelena & Marijana August 11, 1986).
The psalmist also speaks of God's guidance:
Then he led out his people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock. He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies, With upright heart he tended them, And guided them with skillful hand. Psalm 78:52-53,72
Reflection:
Since his early youth, St. Philip Neri allowed Christ to guide him with a free hand. Love of others, simplicity of life, and joyous service to God would accurately describe his life and spirit. A priest and friend of the young, Philip also had a great love for the sick and the poor, sharing their lot in order to be close to them in the streets of Rome.
His street ministry also included the unemployed, the homeless, the shopkeepers, and especially wayward young people. He worked to help them improve themselves materially and to appreciate the spiritual as well. After a busy day on the streets, he very often spent the night in prayer.
His spirit of joyful service inspired the priest who joined him in the Congregation of the Oratory, which he founded in 1564. His eye was always of Christ, who he said guided each step of his life. He once wrote:
If you wish for something from Christ, you don not know what you are wishing for. If you long for something apart from Christ, you do not know what you are longing for. If you work apart from Christ, you do not know what you are doing.
Application:
"Open your hearts, "Our Lady says today, "and let Jesus guide you. You don't have to be afraid because you know that Jesus will never leave you." In prayer today, let us open our hearts as the Virgin requests, asking for Christ's guidance during the next twenty-four hours.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 25 - A SPRINGTIME MESSAGE
Message of May 25, 2009
Dear children! In this time, I call you all to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit upon every baptised creature, so that the Holy Spirit may renew you all and lead you on the way of witnessing your faith – you and all those who are far from God and his love. I am with you and intercede for you before the Most High. Thank you for having responded to my call. May 25, 2009
Message of May 25, 2007 from Our Lady of Medjugorje
"Dear children! Pray with me to the Holy Spirit for Him to lead you in the search of God's will on the way of your holiness. And you, who are far from prayer, convert and, in the silence of your heart, seek salvation for your soul and nurture it with prayer. I bless you all individually with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of May 25, 2005 from Our Lady of Medjugorje
"Dear children! Anew I call you to live my messages in humility. Especially witness them now when we are approaching the anniversary of my apparitions. Little children, be a sign to those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"The Heart of the Immaculate Virgin is an abyss of wonders. Enter this most pure sanctuary with respect and contemplate an incomparable masterpiece of purity, love, and every virtue. Mary is a mother. Her great desire is to clothe all her children with her own virtue for the glory of Jesus. You have entered into her heart. Do not leave it. Remain there and learn from her. Ask her to embellish your soul according to the divine ideal and in the heart of Mary you will soon come to know the heart of Jesus, the desires of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus" (Bl. Dina Belanger).
St. Clare of Assisi, Foundress of Poor Clare Nuns, Italy (1193-1253), Feast, Aug. 11 "I come, O Lord, unto Thy sanctuary to see the life and food of my soul. As I hope in Thee, O Lord, inspire me with that confidence which brings me to Thy holy mountain. Permit me, Divine Jesus, to come closer to Thee, that my whole soul may do homage to the greatness of Thy majesty; that my heart, with its tenderest affections, may acknowledge Thine infinite love; that my memory may dwell on the admirable mysteries here renewed every day, and that the sacrifice of my whole being may accompany Thine."
Mother Teresa
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence - we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters. Prayer feeds the soul - as blood is to the body, prayer is the soul - and it brings you closer to God. It also gives you a clean and pure heart. A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Science, my son, for all its greatness in nevertheless a small thing; and less than nothing compared to the formidable mystery of the Divinity. You must take another road. Cleanse your heart of every earthly passion, humble yourself in the dust and pray! In this way you will certainly find God, who will give you peace and serenity in this life and eternal beatitude in the next.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Pride and Prejudice!
"We can set ourselves above others, and feel superior to them in either of two ways: by our knowledge, or by our power; by flaunting what we know, or by using money and influence to make ourselves supreme. Such forms of behavior always spring from pride."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, in thanksgiving for Your many graces, I offer You my body and soul, intellect and will, and all the sentiments of my heart. Through the vows, I have given myself entirely to You; I have then nothing more that I can offer You. Jesus said to me, My daughter, you have not offered Me that which is really yours. I probed deeply into myself and found that I love God with all the faculties of my soul and, unable to see what it was that I had not yet given to the Lord, I asked, "Jesus, tell me what it is, and I will give it to You at once with a generous heart."
Jesus said to me with kindness, Daughter, give Me your misery, because it is your exclusive property. At that moment, a ray of light illumined my soul, and I saw the whole abyss of my misery. In that same moment I nestled close to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus with so much trust that even if I had the sins of all the damned weighing on my conscience, I would not have doubted God's mercy but, with a heart crushed to dust, I would have thrown myself into the abyss of Your mercy. I believe, O Jesus, that You would not reject me, but would absolve me through the hand of Your representative. (1318)
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.
May 25 - A SPRINGTIME MESSAGE
The Madonna speaks today of nature, of love, and of surrender to God:
Dear children, I am calling you to open to God. You see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruit. In the same way, I am calling you to a life with God and complete surrender to him.
Little children, I am with you, and unceasingly I desire to lead you to the joy of life. I desire that each of you discover the joy and the love which is found only in God, and which only God can give.
God wants nothing else from you but your surrender. Therefore, little children, decide seriously for God because everything passes away. God alone does not.
Pray that you May discover the greatness and the joy of life which God is giving you. (Monthly Message May 25, 1989).
The author of Psalm 104 also speaks of the fruits of nature and the joy of life, so loving bestowed by the Father:
You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills, Giving drink to every wild animal;
The wild asses quench their thirst.
O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
And you renew the face of the ground. ---Psalm 104:10-11;24,30
Reflection:
In this springtime message of Our Lady, she outlines a three-stage journey that she hopes we will make. We begin with "an openness to God," as she says, and so are able to receive the grace and strength we need to actually begin living as followers of Christ. Second, having experienced the power of the Lord in our lives, we are drawn to surrender ourselves more and more to him. And third, in this new relationship of trusting surrender, we gradually discover through prayer "the greatness and the joy of life which God is giving [us]."
How appropriate that the Blessed Virgin chose the springtime to speak of new life in Christ: "You see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruit. In the same way I am calling you to open to God, that I May lead you into the joy of life." May the song of nature inspire us to a greater openness to God, that we too May sing for joy.

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

Yeshua (Our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ)
While Herod was still alive, He grew up in Hieropolis, outside of Old Cairo, Akebulan (Africa), until He was about age six or seven.
"Herod" was the name of several rulers, and included Herod Achaeleus.
And while the Apostles Peter (Cephas) and Paul went west:
Other Apostles Evangelize Africa
Matthew, Jude Thaddeus Lebbeus, John Mark (who died in Alexandria (Kemet/Egypt), Nathaniel Bartholomew, the Ethiopian Eunuch, and other apostles and disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) evangelized Africa.
But some evidence exists that St. Peter stopped and preached awhile in Africa (setting up the church in Babylon, Kemet (Egypt), mentoring his protégé, the African, St. Mark (Gospel of Mark). Mark became the first (arch) bishop of Alexandria, Kemet (Egypt). He also served as secretary to Paul, thus straddling two links in the early Church. More about this as facts are discovered in Vol. II.)
I am Mattai (Matthew Levi, also called the Evangelist). Alpheus and Mary were my parents. I spread the good news in Kemet, Ethiopia, Axum, (Abyssinia) for 23 years, (See Ruffin, The 12 Apostles, p.140). In battling two magicians, Zaroes and Arfaxat, through the power of Jesus Christ, I raised the son of King Aeglippus from dead. The magicians were forced to flee to what is now Iran.
I visited my Jewish brethren in Kemet and I am connected with the tradition/history of Abadias.
I preached to the Hebrews and wrote a Gospel for them in Aramaic before I continued my missionary work. In Africa, I was called apostle to the Ethiopians (Greek for “burnt faces”).
I was stoned and crucified downwards in Hierapolis, then beheaded. I am not black, as the term is understood, but I ministered in Africa, and so affiliated.
I am Simon Zelotes. From the bishop of Tyre and theologian, Dorotheus, traditions holds that I preached in Mauritania, Kemet, Libya, before going to Britain.
The Coptic Church chronicles my travels in Kemet, and other parts of Akebulan (Africa), including what is now Tunisia, Mauretania Caesariensis (partly Morocco and Algeria). The Apostles, p. 146, puts Simon Zelotes in Mauritania, Kemet, and Libya.
I am Jude Thaddeus (LEBBEUS)
Traditionally my evangelizing in Africa answered a letter received from the King of Axum, Abgar, the Black, by my cousin, Yeshua. But Jesus was on the way to the crucifixion. (Some say the actions took place in between Tigris and Euphrates). I also evangelized in India and what is now Burma.
I am Phillip. I evangelized in Ethiopia and other parts of Africa. Traditionally, I am shown preaching in Carthage (now found in present-day Tunisia, Libya).
An Ethiopian Orthodox Church tradition shows its apostolic succession is from me. I consecrated as a bishop, the Ethiopian Eunuch Finance minister of the Kandake (the warrior Queen Candace).
I am Nathaniel bar Tomai (Bartholomew). I evangelized in Central India, as well an area you would now consider black, and I preached in Kemet, according to Eusebius.
I am Thomas Didymus (The Twin). I founded the Church in what is now Beijing, China. I preached in India. The explorer, Marco Polo, prayed at my tomb in Malabar Province. Many of the priests and bishops designated Mar find their apostolic succession from me.
I am JoHn Mark (Mark). I am called the evangelist. Martyred in or near Alexandria, Kemet (or dying there) see the New American Bible preface on section of John Mark.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 25 - A SPRINGTIME MESSAGE
Message of May 25, 2009 Dear children! In this time, I call you all to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit upon every baptised creature, so that the Holy Spirit may renew you all and lead you on the way of witnessing your faith – you and all those who are far from God and his love. I am with you and intercede for you before the Most High. Thank you for having responded to my call. May 25, 2009
Message of May 25, 2007 from Our Lady of Medjugorje "Dear children! Pray with me to the Holy Spirit for Him to lead you in the search of God's will on the way of your holiness. And you, who are far from prayer, convert and, in the silence of your heart, seek salvation for your soul and nurture it with prayer. I bless you all individually with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of May 25, 2005 from Our Lady of Medjugorje
"Dear children! Anew I call you to live my messages in humility. Especially witness them now when we are approaching the anniversary of my apparitions. Little children, be a sign to those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"The Heart of the Immaculate Virgin is an abyss of wonders. Enter this most pure sanctuary with respect and contemplate an incomparable masterpiece of purity, love, and every virtue. Mary is a mother. Her great desire is to clothe all her children with her own virtue for the glory of Jesus. You have entered into her heart. Do not leave it. Remain there and learn from her. Ask her to embellish your soul according to the divine ideal and in the heart of Mary you will soon come to know the heart of Jesus, the desires of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus" (Bl. Dina Belanger).
St. Clare of Assisi, Foundress of Poor Clare Nuns, Italy (1193-1253), Feast, Aug. 11 "I come, O Lord, unto Thy sanctuary to see the life and food of my soul. As I hope in Thee, O Lord, inspire me with that confidence which brings me to Thy holy mountain. Permit me, Divine Jesus, to come closer to Thee, that my whole soul may do homage to the greatness of Thy majesty; that my heart, with its tenderest affections, may acknowledge Thine infinite love; that my memory may dwell on the admirable mysteries here renewed every day, and that the sacrifice of my whole being may accompany Thine."
Mother Teresa I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence - we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters. Prayer feeds the soul - as blood is to the body, prayer is the soul - and it brings you closer to God. It also gives you a clean and pure heart. A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Science, my son, for all its greatness in nevertheless a small thing; and less than nothing compared to the formidable mystery of the Divinity. You must take another road. Cleanse your heart of every earthly passion, humble yourself in the dust and pray! In this way you will certainly find God, who will give you peace and serenity in this life and eternal beatitude in the next.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Pride and Prejudice! "We can set ourselves above others, and feel superior to them in either of two ways: by our knowledge, or by our power; by flaunting what we know, or by using money and influence to make ourselves supreme. Such forms of behavior always spring from pride."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, in thanksgiving for Your many graces, I offer You my body and soul, intellect and will, and all the sentiments of my heart. Through the vows, I have given myself entirely to You; I have then nothing more that I can offer You.
Jesus said to me, My daughter, you have not offered Me that which is really yours. I probed deeply into myself and found that I love God with all the faculties of my soul and, unable to see what it was that I had not yet given to the Lord, I asked, "Jesus, tell me what it is, and I will give it to You at once with a generous heart."
Jesus said to me with kindness, Daughter, give Me your misery, because it is your exclusive property. At that moment, a ray of light illumined my soul, and I saw the whole abyss of my misery. In that same moment I nestled close to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus with so much trust that even if I had the sins of all the damned weighing on my conscience, I would not have doubted God's mercy but, with a heart crushed to dust, I would have thrown myself into the abyss of Your mercy. I believe, O Jesus, that You would not reject me, but would absolve me through the hand of Your representative. (1318)
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.
May 25 - A SPRINGTIME MESSAGE
The Madonna speaks today of nature, of love, and of surrender to God:
Dear children, I am calling you to open to God. You see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruit. In the same way, I am calling you to a life with God and complete surrender to him.
Little children, I am with you, and unceasingly I desire to lead you to the joy of life. I desire that each of you discover the joy and the love which is found only in God, and which only God can give.
God wants nothing else from you but your surrender. Therefore, little children, decide seriously for God because everything passes away. God alone does not.
Pray that you May discover the greatness and the joy of life which God is giving you. (Monthly Message May 25, 1989).
The author of Psalm 104 also speaks of the fruits of nature and the joy of life, so loving bestowed by the Father:
You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills, Giving drink to every wild animal;
The wild asses quench their thirst.
O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
And you renew the face of the ground. ---Psalm 104:10-11;24,30
Reflection:
In this springtime message of Our Lady, she outlines a three-stage journey that she hopes we will make. We begin with "an openness to God," as she says, and so are able to receive the grace and strength we need to actually begin living as followers of Christ.
Second, having experienced the power of the Lord in our lives, we are drawn to surrender ourselves more and more to him. And third, in this new relationship of trusting surrender, we gradually discover through prayer "the greatness and the joy of life which God is giving [us]."
How appropriate that the Blessed Virgin chose the springtime to speak of new life in Christ: "You see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruit. In the same way I am calling you to open to God, that I May lead you into the joy of life." May the song of nature inspire us to a greater openness to God, that we too May sing for joy.
Application:
Try to spend some quiet time outdoors today to experience the beauty of God in nature-part of the "joy of life" of which the Virgin speaks
Eileen Renders Reflections After Jesus' Message Of Today (Sunday)
Just wanted to share this with everyone!
Eileen
Note: Sunday May 24, 2009
The priest’s Homily for today. Today when the priest spoke to us about how God made us so that our hearts will be discontent until they rest in Him, and then followed up with saying; We must first be cleansed of sin before we can meet God face to face, I was reminded of those words Jesus said: Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God.
Then I felt that when we are purified and welcomed into heaven, perhaps when we gaze upon the face of God, we will see tiny reflections of ourselves. And maybe we will all see God a tiny bit differently God did make us in His own likeness because He loved us so!

Message to Carol Ameche May 17, 2009
External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, May 17, 2009
"My very dear children, I am your God and your Creator, your Father. You are the love of My life in union with My Jesus, and Our Holy Spirit, and of course the Holy Mother, whose special month you are all celebrating so beautifully, in such a heartfelt way; and all of Us thank you so much for that.
Heaven and Earth are united in this cause, in this celebration, in this joyous gratitude for the Immaculate One of God, your precious Mother. These special gifts that unite you more completely to your Triune God and to Her, your Mother and to everyone in Heaven, the angels and the saints, are gifts for which you must thank your God every day being aware of the true specialness of the gift.
You have no idea, My children, how much She does for you, how much She means for you and to you, how much She loves you. This love of Hers is purifying you, My people everywhere.
This love of Hers is keeping you faithful to all I have asked you to do and to be and to become. It is a time of celebration, because you are faithful. It is a time of celebration, because you are chosen, because you are Her children and Mine. It is a time for celebration because you are.
My dearest ones, spend every spare moment praying in union with Her at this time.
Everywhere, people who are receiving important messages for the world are receiving words of warning, of dire events in the near future. These as you have noticed come in cycles. The cycle has begun again for which you are preparing and which I am allowing.
You know that I choose to do nothing without you, without your support, your help as it were, your total self, your energy, your time. Always, I will mention that; because I ask for all of who you are. Do not tire of hearing these words, My children; because they are easily forgotten in the rush of everyday, in the distraction that is so easy.
Thank you for loving Me. Thank you for offering your day every morning as you do, your precious special morning offering. This is another gift that you cannot appreciate enough at this point, and someday will look back upon from Heaven and see all that you do for the whole world and yourself and Myself. My children, we will continue to celebrate in this great month of the Holy Mother. We will continue to give thanks for Her, who is My blessed daughter and your holy and precious Mother.
Remember, you have been reminded that you are all motherly in some part of your being, as I have created you; and it is important now to nurture and nourish that motherly element within you, with Her at your side leading you, showing you, nurturing you in order to nurture others.
It will not be long, My dear ones, before this begins. I see that you accept this calmly, peacefully, and with a seasoned reception of waiting. You are in a good place, My people everywhere. You are seasoned warriors, who I have created you to be. I am so proud of you, again in a holy way, in a grateful way. Through you, My children, I can see clearly the defeat of evil in the world. Thank you. Thank you. I love you, My children. We are one, and we are victorious. Amen little ones. Thank you."
A priest who saw heaven, hell, and purgatory
The death experience of Father Jose Maniyangat
Fr. Jose Maniyangat is currently the pastor of St. Mary’s Mother of Mercy Catholic Church in Macclenny, Florida. Here is his personal testimony:
I was born on July 16, 1949 in Kerala, India to my parents, Joseph and Theresa Maniyangat. I am the eldest of seven children: Jose, Mary, Theresa, Lissama, Zachariah, Valsa and Tom.
At the age of fourteen, I entered St. Mary’s Minor Seminary in Thiruvalla to begin my studies for the priesthood. Four years later, I went to St. Joseph’s Pontifical Major Seminary in Alwaye, Kerala to continue my priestly formation. After completing the seven years of philosophy and theology, I was ordained a priest on January 1, 1975 to serve as a missionary in the Diocese of Thiruvalla.
On Sunday April 14, 1985, the Feast of the Divine Mercy, I was going to celebrate Mass at a mission church in the north part of Kerala, and I had a fatal accident. I was riding a motorcycle when I was hit head-on by a jeep driven by a man who was intoxicated after a Hindu festival. I was rushed to a hospital about 35 miles away.
On the way, my soul came out from my body and I experienced death. Immediately, I met my Guardian Angel. I saw my body and the people who were carrying me to the hospital. I heard them crying and praying for me. At this time my angel told me: “I am going to take you to Heaven, the Lord wants to meet you and talk with you. He also said that, on the way, he wanted to show me hell and purgatory.
Hell First, the angel escorted me to hell. It was an awful sight! I saw Satan and the devils, an unquenchable fire of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, worms crawling, people screaming and fighting, others being tortured by demons. The angel told me that all these sufferings were due to unrepented mortal sins. Then, I understood that there are seven degrees of suffering or levels according to the number and kinds of mortal sins committed in their earthly lives.
The souls looked very ugly, cruel and horrific. It was a fearful experience. I saw people whom I knew, but I am not allowed to reveal their identities. The sins that convicted them were mainly abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, hatefulness, unforgiveness and sacrilege.
The angel told me that if they had repented, they would have avoided hell and gone instead to purgatory. I also understood that some people who repent from these sins might be purified on earth through their sufferings. This way they can avoid purgatory and go straight to heaven.
I was surprised when I saw in hell even priests and Bishops, some of whom I never expected to see. Many of them were there because they had misled the people with false teaching and bad example.
Purgatory
After the visit to hell, my Guardian Angel escorted me to purgatory. Here too, there are seven degrees of suffering and unquenchable fire. But it is far less intense than hell and there was neither quarreling nor fighting. The main suffering of these souls is their separation from God.
Some of those who are in purgatory committed numerous mortal sins, but they were reconciled with God before their death. Even though these souls are suffering, they enjoy peace and the knowledge that one day they will see God face to face.
I had a chance to communicate with the souls in purgatory. They asked me to pray for them and to tell the people to pray for them as well, so they can go to heaven quickly. When we pray for these souls, we will receive their gratitude through their prayers, and once they enter heaven, their prayers become even more meritorious.
It is difficult for me to describe how beautiful my Guardian Angel is. He is radiant and bright. He is my constant companion and helps me in all my ministries, especially my healing ministry. I experience his presence everywhere I go and I am grateful for his protection in my daily life.
Heaven
Next, my angel escorted me to heaven passing through a big dazzling white tunnel. I never experienced this much peace and joy in my life. Then immediately heaven opened up and I heard the most delightful music, which I never heard before. The angels were singing and praising God. I saw all the saints, especially the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph, and many dedicated holy Bishops and priests who were shining like stars.
And when I appeared before the Lord, Jesus told me: I want you to go back to the world. In your second life, you will be an instrument of peace and healing to My people. You will walk in a foreign land and you will speak in a foreign tongue. Everything is possible for you with My grace. After these words, the Blessed Mother told me: Do whatever He tells you. I will help you in your ministries.
Words can not express the beauty of heaven. There we find so much peace and happiness, which exceed a million times our imagination. Our Lord is far more beautiful than any image can convey. His face is radiant and luminous and more beautiful than a thousand rising suns. The pictures we see in the world are only a shadow of His magnificence.
The Blessed Mother was next to Jesus; She was so beautiful and radiant. None of the images we see in this world can compare with Her real beauty. Heaven is our real home; we are all created to reach heaven and enjoy God forever. Then, I came back to the world with my angel.
While my body was at the hospital, the doctor completed all examinations and I was pronounced dead. The cause of death was bleeding. My family was notified, and since they were far away, the hospital staff decided to move my dead body to the morgue. Because the hospital did not have air conditioners, they were concerned that the body would decompose quickly. As they were moving my dead body to the morgue, my soul came back to the body.
I felt an excruciating pain because of so many wounds and broken bones. I began to scream, and then the people became frightened and ran away screaming. One of them approached the doctor and said: The dead body is screaming. The doctor came to examine the body and found that I was alive. So he said: Father is alive, it is a miracle! Take him back to the hospital.
Now, back at the hospital, they gave me blood transfusions and I was taken to surgery to repair the broken bones. They worked on my lower jaw, ribs, pelvic bone, wrists, and right leg. After two months, I was released from the hospital, but my orthopedic doctor said that I would never walk again.
I then said to him: The Lord who gave me my life back and sent me back to the world will heal me. Once at home, we were all praying for a miracle. Still after a month, and with the casts removed, I was not able to move. But one day while praying I felt an extraordinary pain in my pelvic area.
After a short while the pain disappeared completely and I heard a voice saying: You are healed. Get up and walk. I felt the peace and healing power on my body. I immediately got up and walked. I praised and thanked God for the miracle.
I reached my doctor with the news of my healing, and he was amazed. He said: Your God is the true God. I must follow your God. The doctor was Hindu, and he asked me to teach him about our Church. After studying the Faith, I baptized him and he became Catholic.
Following the message from my Guardian Angel, I came to the United States on November 10, 1986 as a missionary priest... Since June 1999, I have been pastor of St. Mary’s Mother of Mercy Catholic Church in Macclenny, Florida.

Jesus Speaks To Us About Our Eternity!
On Saturday I made the sacrament of Penance. On Sunday, we attended the 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made an Act of Contrition and prayed for all with special needs and intentions.
After making small offerings to Jesus and Mary, I prepared for the sacrament of Holy Communion. With the Body and Blood of Jesus within my heart, I knelt in silent commune with Him. I prayed, asking Jesus to remove all distraction, that my heart might only hear words that might come from His heart to mine, and that my mind's eye might only see that, which He intends for me to see.
Then I prayed, Speak Lord (always and only, if it be His will), Your servant listens.
Jesus responded to my heart saying: My child Eileen, do you know what day this is? This is the day that the Lord hath made, rejoice and be glad in it. Let your heart be open and free for the world has no constraints on you.
Let your heart rest in My heart and focus on Me. If you do as I ask, when death comes, your transition into eternal life will be smooth and without fear. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

Yeshua (Our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ)
While Herod was still alive, He grew up in Hieropolis, outside of Old Cairo, Akebulan (Africa), until He was about age six or seven.
"Herod" was the name of several rulers, and included Herod Achaeleus.
And while the Apostles Peter (Cephas) and Paul went west:
Other Apostles Evangelize Africa
Matthew, Jude Thaddeus Lebbeus, John Mark (who died in Alexandria (Kemet/Egypt), Nathaniel Bartholomew, the Ethiopian Eunuch, and other apostles and disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) evangelized Africa.
But some evidence exists that St. Peter stopped and preached awhile in Africa (setting up the church in Babylon, Kemet (Egypt), mentoring his protégé, the African, St. Mark (Gospel of Mark). Mark became the first (arch) bishop of Alexandria, Kemet (Egypt). He also served as secretary to Paul, thus straddling two links in the early Church. More about this as facts are discovered in Vol. II.)
I am Mattai (Matthew Levi, also called the Evangelist). Alpheus and Mary were my parents. I spread the good news in Kemet, Ethiopia, Axum, (Abyssinia) for 23 years, (See Ruffin, The 12 Apostles, p.140). In battling two magicians, Zaroes and Arfaxat, through the power of Jesus Christ, I raised the son of King Aeglippus from dead. The magicians were forced to flee to what is now Iran.
I visited my Jewish brethren in Kemet and I am connected with the tradition/history of Abadias.
I preached to the Hebrews and wrote a Gospel for them in Aramaic before I continued my missionary work. In Africa, I was called apostle to the Ethiopians (Greek for “burnt faces”).
I was stoned and crucified downwards in Hierapolis, then beheaded. I am not black, as the term is understood, but I ministered in Africa, and so affiliated.
I am Simon Zelotes. From the bishop of Tyre and theologian, Dorotheus, traditions holds that I preached in Mauritania, Kemet, Libya, before going to Britain.
The Coptic Church chronicles my travels in Kemet, and other parts of Akebulan (Africa), including what is now Tunisia, Mauretania Caesariensis (partly Morocco and Algeria). The Apostles, p. 146, puts Simon Zelotes in Mauritania, Kemet, and Libya.
I am Jude Thaddeus (LEBBEUS)
Traditionally my evangelizing in Africa answered a letter received from the King of Axum, Abgar, the Black, by my cousin, Yeshua. But Jesus was on the way to the crucifixion. (Some say the actions took place in between Tigris and Euphrates). I also evangelized in India and what is now Burma.
I am Phillip. I evangelized in Ethiopia and other parts of Africa. Traditionally, I am shown preaching in Carthage (now found in present-day Tunisia, Libya).
An Ethiopian Orthodox Church tradition shows its apostolic succession is from me. I consecrated as a bishop, the Ethiopian Eunuch Finance minister of the Kandake (the warrior Queen Candace).
I am Nathaniel bar Tomai (Bartholomew). I evangelized in Central India, as well an area you would now consider black, and I preached in Kemet, according to Eusebius.
I am Thomas Didymus (The Twin). I founded the Church in what is now Beijing, China. I preached in India. The explorer, Marco Polo, prayed at my tomb in Malabar Province. Many of the priests and bishops designated Mar find their apostolic succession from me.
I am JoHn Mark (Mark). I am called the evangelist. Martyred in or near Alexandria, Kemet (or dying there) see the New American Bible preface on section of John Mark.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 07 - Live my messages
"What is most beautiful and most noble on earth . . . is worth nothing, is nothing and less than nothing, compared with this God of mine!—of yours! Infinite treasure, most beautiful pearl . . . humbled, become a slave, reduced to nothingness in a form of a servant in the stable where he willed to be born . . . in Joseph's workshop, in his passion and in his ignominious death, and in the frenzy of Love—the blessed Eucharist!" (St. Josemaria Escriva).
"Contemplate Jesus lying in His Crib, wrapped in the might of divine peace and redemptive suffering. Mary, kneeling, enraptured, in ecstasy, watches over the Child, over the Eternal One. She meditates on another Bethlehem, on quite another Crib, a crib of apparent repose, but of real and perpetual immolation, the Altar" (Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey).
Mother Teresa Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Oh Mary, sweet Mother of priests, mediatrix and administratrix of all graces, from the bottom of my heart I beg and implore you to thank Jesus, the fruit of thy womb, today, tomorrow and forever.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We can accept or reject our crosses, but we can't avoid them "There are only two things we can do with crosses - carry them or kick against them. We can merge them in God's plan for life and thus make them serve our inner peace and happiness, or we can stumble over them to the glen of weeping. Selfishness is the cause of much mental sickness; otherness, sympathy, forgiveness and self-discipline are the cure."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
In order to purify a soul, Jesus uses whatever instruments He likes. My soul underwent a complete abandonment on the part of creatures; often my best intentions were misinterpreted by the sisters, a type of suffering which is most painful; but God allows it, and we must accept it because in this way we become more like Jesus. There was one thing which I could not understand for a long time: Jesus ordered me to tell everything to my Superiors, but my Superiors did not believe what I said and treated me with pity as though I were being deluded or were imagining things.
Because of this, believing myself to be deluded, I resolved to avoid God interiorly for fear of these illusions. But the grace of God pursued me at every step, and God spoke to me when I least expected it. (38)
At the beginning of my religious life, suffering and adversities frightened and disheartened me. So I prayed continuously, asking Jesus to strengthen me and to grant me the power of His Holy Spirit that I might carry out His holy will in all things, because from the beginning I have been aware of my weakness.
I know very well what I am of myself, because for this purpose Jesus has opened the eyes of my soul; I am an abyss of misery, and hence I understand that whatever good there is in my soul consists solely of His holy grace. The knowledge of my own misery allows me, at the same time, to know the immensity of Your mercy. In my own interior life, I am looking with one eye at the abyss of my misery and baseness, and with the other, at the abyss of Your mercy, O God. (56)
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.
May 7 - LIVE MY MESSAGES
Our Lady speaks of priorities today:
"Dear children, today I am calling you to accept and live my messages. Dear children, I love you and have especially chosen this parish, more dear to me than others, where I have gladly remained after the Almighty sent me.
Therefore, I call on you to accept me, dear children, so that everything will go well in your lives. Listen to my messages (Weekly Messages March 21,1985).
In Matthew's gospel, Christ also speaks of priorities:
Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat? " or "What will we drink?" or "What will we wear?" For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. So strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Mt 6:31-33).
Reflection:
Mom was left behind when a nervous husband rushed to the hospital recently in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The father had called police to ask for help in getting his expectant wife to the hospital in a hurry. A patrol car was dispatched to meet the emergency. But after speeding through the city, with police clearing the way, the overanxious husband suddenly discovered that he had left his wife at home. Together with the officer he wheeled around and hastened back to the starting point, picked up his wife and resumed the flight to the hospital.
In the rush of daily living it is easy to get excited about incidentals and to overlook essentials. This is why the Madonna urges that we first live her messages before all else-that we put first things first. It is the same message of Christ in the gospels: "Seek first his kingdom and his justice, and all these things will be given to you besides."
Application:
Today, take a few minutes to reflect on the priorities in your life. Your use of time for various activities is a good measure.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 02 - Pray the rosary
"Let us beseech the Lord to reawaken in us the joy at his presence and that we may once more adore him. Without adoration, there is no transformation of the world" (Pope Benedict XVI).
Meditations by Padre Pio - Listen, dear Mother, I love you more than all the creatures on earth and in Heaven, after Jesus, of course... but I love you.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen True sincerity brings out the truth and, as we know, the Truth shall set you free! "The sincere are those who have an ensemble of virtues, who are equally good at speaking and listening; who have silences, as well as words; who are not opaque like curtains, but transparent like window panes. They speak, knowing that one day they will have to be judged by God and obliged to give `an account of every idle word.' That makes them love the Truth and because they love it, they are always kind and charitable."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Toward the end of the first year of my novitiate, darkness began to cast its shadow over my soul. I felt no consolation in prayer; I had to make a great effort to meditate; fear began to sweep over me. Going deeper into myself, I could find nothing but great misery. I could also clearly see the great holiness of God. I did not dare to raise my eyes to Him, but reduced myself to dust under His feet and begged for mercy. My soul was in this state for almost six months. Our beloved Mother Directress [Mary Joseph] encouraged me in these difficult moments. But this suffering became greater and greater.
The second year of the novitiate was approaching. Whenever I recalled that I was to make my vows, my soul shuddered. I did not understand what I was reading; I could not meditate; it seemed to me that my prayer was displeasing to God. It seemed to me that by approaching the Holy Sacraments I was offending God even more. But despite this, my confessor [Father Theodore] did not let me omit one single Holy Communion. God was working very strangely in my soul. I did not understand anything at all of what my confessor was telling me. The simple truths of the faith became incomprehensible to me. My soul was in anguish, unable to find comfort anywhere. (23a)
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.
May 2 - PRAY THE ROSARY
Today the Gospa speaks of prayer and the rosary:
"Dear Children, your prayer has helped my plans to be fulfilled. Pray continually for their complete fulfillment. I beseech the families of the parish to pray the rosary." (Weekly Message September 27, 1984).
Prayer is also on Paul's mind in his letter to Philemon:
When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my God because I hear of your love for all the saints and your faith toward the Lord Jesus. I pray that the sharing of your faith May become effective when you perceive all the good that we May do for Christ. Psalm 1: 4-6
Reflection:
In reflecting on the mysteries of the rosary each day, we are gradually changed into the likeness of Christ. Just as people who have been married for a long time sometimes acquire each other's characteristics, so we acquire the mind and heart of Jesus Christ as we meditate on his life through the rosary.
"The Hail Marys of the rosary," writes Fr. Albert Shannon, "are like background music while you are watching Our Lord's life. Background music helps us when reading and working. We don't pay much attention to the music, but it helps us."
Application:
Today, pray the Rosary slowly and meditatively; if you have any literature with the mysteries depicted, use it as a visual aid in staying focused.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 05 -The great love God has for you
The Holy Eucharist must be "at the center of every pastoral plan . . . it builds the Church as authentic community of the People of God and always regenerates it on the basis of the sacrifice of Christ himself." "Above all, I invite you, dear families, to make reference to the Eucharist, as you are called to support your children in the path of preparation to the sacraments of Christian initiation and to follow them in adolescence and beyond, so that, growing, they will faithfully carry out the mission that God has reserved for them" (Pope John Paul II, March 8, 2004).
Mother Teresa Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May Mary be the reason of your existence and guide you to the safe harbor of eternal salvation. May she be your gentle model and your source of inspiration in the virtue of humility.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The self-destruction of self-will
"The will that always insists on having its own way, begins to hate its own way. Those who live only for self begins to hate self. self is too narrow, confining and dark a sanctuary for happy adoration." You can't have it both ways. Either you're pro-life or not. Pro-choice is not an alternative!
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
One day, just as I had awakened, when I was putting myself in the presence of God, I was suddenly overwhelmed by despair. Complete darkness in the soul. I fought as best I could till noon. In the afternoon, truly deadly fears began to seize me; my physical strength began to leave me. I went quickly to my cell, fell on my knees before the Crucifix and began to cry out for mercy.
But Jesus did not hear my cries. I felt my physical strength leave me completely. I fell to the ground, despair flooding my whole soul. I suffered terrible tortures in no way different from the torments of hell. I was in this state for three quarters of an hour. I wanted to go and see the Directress, but was too weak, I wanted to shout but I had no voice. Fortunately, one of the sisters [another novice, Sister Placida Putyra] came into my cell. Finding me in such a strange condition, she immediately told the Directress about it. Mother came at once.
As soon as she entered the cell she said, "In the name of holy obedience get up from the ground." Immediately some force raised me up from the ground and I stood up, close to the dear Mother Directress. With kindly words she began to explain to me that this was a trial sent to me by God, saying, "Have great confidence; God is always our Father, even when He sends us trials. " (24a)
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.
MAY 5 - THE GREAT LOVE GOD HAS FOR YOU
The Madonna speaks of love today:
Dear children, today I call you to a complete surrender to God. You are not conscious, dear children, of the great love God has for you. This is why he has allowed me to be with you, to teach and help you to find the way to peace. But you cannot find it if you do not pray.
Therefore, dear children, forsake everything and consecrate your time to God, for then he will bestow gifts upon you and bless you.
Little children, do not forget that your life is fleeting like a spring flower, which today is wondrously beautiful, but tomorrow has vanished. Therefore, pray in such away that your prayer, as well as your surrender to God, maybe be come like a road sign. In this way your witness will not only have value for yourself, but also for others and for all eternity [MM 3-25-88].
In his great love for us, God will deny us nothing which is good:
Ask, and it will be given you, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be open for you. For everyone who asks, receives, and everyone who searches, finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if the child asks for a fish, would you give a snake? If you then, who are sinful, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask him! [Matthew 7:7- 11].
Reflection:
The heart of God overflows with a kindness and generosity beyond our understanding, which is the core of Our Lady's message today: "You dear children, are not conscious of the great love God has for you." Because of this, he can deny us nothing that is good, if we but seek it in prayer: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find."
Like a father giving bread to his son, God's power and gifts are available to all his children. The key is prayer; as the Gospa says, "consecrate your time to God, and then he will bestow gifts upon you and bless you."
Application:
Today, offer the rosary for the intention that God provide = for all your needs, and that you may more deeply understand his love.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!
BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY
Black Saints of the day—From the Black Saints reference book (James Wesly Smith), 456 pages, paperback, 1000 lines of Black and African Saints in the Latin Rite, Coptic and Orthodox branches of the Mystical Body of Christ (combined Christianity) to year 599 A.D. Order quickly from www.booklocker.com/books/3088.html, from BarnesandNobles.com, Ingram Book Group internationally, Amazon, wherever online books are sold.
Due to the period of Great Kidnapping/enslavement, “They” in Europe took African involvement out of the Bible. Stripping such verses as “Song of Solomon” of its original (and Black) beauty.
But back in in the 1980s.Some brothers-scholars—put the continent and its members If the reader can find that Afrocentric bible to keep and read with your other, a whole new vista of original understanding will be opened. …
We shall start with two backgrounders, so some will understand where Yeshua was “coming from”.
From Jewish Encyclopedia (don’t read just the footnote; but the entire small article. We shall draw upon it).
“…Kenites, then, were a nomadic tribe, more advanced in the arts of life than Israel. Their habitat, according to the first Biblical reference to them, was in the Sinaitic peninsula.” (That’s Kemet-Egypt—folks. And Midianites and Kenites were said to be the same folks).
“Jethro, priest of Midian, and father-in-law of Moses, is said (Judges i. 16) to have been a Kenite.This indicates that the Kenites originally formed part of the Midianite tribe or tribes. In Ex. xviii. 12 et seq., ACCORDING TO E, JETHRO INITIATES MOSES AND AARON INTO THE WORSHIP OF YHWH.
“…Several modern scholars believe, in consequence of this statement, THAT YHWH WAS A KENITE DEITY, and that from the Kenites through the agency of Moses HIS (GOD’S) worship passed to the Israelites.”
“…At the Exodus it (Kenites) inhabited the vicinity of Sinai and Horeb; and to it belonged Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses (Judges i. 16). In Ex. iii. 1 Jethro is said to have been "priest of Midian" and a Midianite (Num. iv. 29); hence the conclusion seems justified that the Midianites and Kenites are identical.”
See: http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=176&letter=K&search=Kenites
Check the ancient maps (See Barrington Maps) there is Israel, and then there is Egypt.
From Wikipedia… “Sinai Peninsula or Sinai sina; Egyptian Arabic: سينا sina; Arabic: سيناء sina'a; Hebrew: סיני Sinai) is a triangular peninsula in Egypt.”
Do Black folks now see why Archangel Gabriel might have sent Baby Yeshua, with Maryam and Joseph to Africa (Kemet-Egypt)??? The conclusions (or one conclusion) Africans—Kenites- taught taught Moses/Musa/Moshe and the Israelites of Yahweh. More backgrounder: The Coptic and orthodox branches have extensive knowledge of this.
The Nile was really a highway as well as a source for food. Yeshua is said to have been sailed down as far as Ethiopia to escape Herod’s assasins (Copts (Coptic branch of Christianity) have built churches where the Holy Family stayed in Africa-- where Baby Yeshua walked, bathed.
The influence of Kemet (Egpyt) at the time-albeit attenuated by Alexander the Great and Imperial Rome, still stretched all the way into an area of what encompasses modern day Burundi.
CHRISTIANITY CAME OUT OF AFRICA- NOT TO IT!
Let us point to some of the obvious (at least one conclusion). Moses is a foundation of Judaism, writing or responsible for the Penteteuch (first five books of what is know as the (Western) Bible, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). Moses, the “Jewish Encyclopedia” avers, may have gotten his Deism (knowledge of God--Yaweh) some scholars posit from the African Kenites. Moses taught Yahweh to the Israelites-Jews. Yeshua was Jewish! Yeshua grew up in Africa-Kemet for His first 6/7 years.
Yeshua’s faith foundation, then….as the Elders used to say…”WELL, NOW…!!!)
Again:
Christianity came out of Africa, not to it! As did Yeshua—the Christ, Jesus. “That what was said through the prophet might be fulfilled, ‘Out of Egypt I called my son’”.(See Matthew 2:15, Hosea 11:1. By the way, Google: Matthew, Apostle to the Ethiopians)
But we disparage no one’s (group, heritage, and ethnicity) involvement in the faith tradition. We desired, however, the little ones singing, “Yes, Jesus loves me!” included those with melanin. These need the knowledge of their historical involvement in The Way—(What ancient Christianity was originally called) the people of God .
With Yeshua’s averment, “I am the vine, you are the branches…” (John 15:5), this writer submits that Christ Jesus knew His church would splinter.
Indeed, even Judaism had previously split into segments of Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. Each manifested subdivisions in practice, depending in what continent/territory believers found themselves.
Since there were 12 working apostles plus 1(Paul, Matthaias added, and some say, even Mary of Magdala-Lazurus’ kin), and 72 disciples sent by Yeshua, and disciples of the apostles, themselves--inevitably, different church branches, rites, traditions grew.
So really, there should be no Western Church shenanigans of who follows whom.
The perspective here is of the African root of the Latin rite in the Oriental Church. But the reader is reminded (by way of example and not limitation), that not only is there an Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as the Chief priest and Archbishop in the Eternal City, but there also exists te Cotic branch of the Church, Pope Shenouda II (as of this writing)-as well as their Holinesses Alexis and Bartholomew (orthodox branch of the Church), and others administering branches of Yeshua’s universal Church.
The writer/philosopher, Tielhard de Chardin, said years ago that the Church was in involution, slowly re-combining as Yeshua so desired in the beginning.
The foolishness of “who is and who ain’t” Christian or “Christian enough” won’t be found here. The reformation is over! (And the then once mighty but now formally dormant but awakening African Church of Tertullien, Origen, Augustine, Athanasius, Cyprian, Clement of Alexandria wasn’t part of it, anyway).

Medjugorje Day By Day May 24 - GIVE TIME TO THE ROSARY
"Mary is characterized as the new holy Tent, the living ark of the Covenant. Her Yes becomes the place of meeting that offers God a dwelling place in the world" (Pope Benedict XVI).
"Thou art blessed amongst women, O Mary, and Blessed is Jesus Eucharistic, the fruit of thy womb!" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).
Mother Teresa
If I had not picked up that first person dying on the street, I would not have picked up the thousands later on.
Padre Pio - May 24 I confess in the first place, that for me it is a great misfortune to be unable to express and pour out this ever-active volcano which burns me up, and which Jesus has placed in this very small heart. And it can all be summed up as follows: I am consumed by love for God and love for my neighbors.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Real regret is not finding God again after one has lost Him!
"A man refrains from adultery because of the love he has for his wife. This principle of love militates against his carnal desires and, if he falls, pulls him back again to fidelity. So with grace. As St. Paul wrote to the pagan Romans: `I don't understand my own actions, because instead of doing what I want to do I do what I hate. Now if I don't want to do the very thing that I actually do, then I agree with the Law that it is, in fact, good' (Romans 7: 15-16).
That is the point. The very regret one has is an admission that the law of God is right. A child told by his parents not to stick his finger in the fire does so. But he immediately discovers that their law was worthy of all honor. There are two ways of knowing how good God is. One is never to lose Him, the other is to lose Him and find Him again."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, in thanksgiving for Your many graces, I offer You my body and soul, intellect and will, and all the sentiments of my heart. Through the vows, I have given myself entirely to You; I have then nothing more that I can offer You. Jesus said to me, My daughter, you have not offered Me that which is really yours. I probed deeply into myself and found that I love God with all the faculties of my soul and, unable to see what it was that I had not yet given to the Lord, I asked, "Jesus, tell me what it is, and I will give it to You at once with a generous heart." Jesus said to me with kindness, Daughter, give Me your misery, because it is your exclusive property. At that moment, a ray of light illumined my soul, and I saw the whole abyss of my misery. In that same moment I nestled close to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus with so much trust that even if I had the sins of all the damned weighing on my conscience, I would not have doubted God's mercy but, with a heart crushed to dust, I would have thrown myself into the abyss of Your mercy. I believe, O Jesus, that You would not reject me, but would absolve me through the hand of Your representative. (1318)
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.
May 24 - GIVE TIME TO THE ROSARY
Our Lady speaks of a favorite subject today:
I urge you to ask everyone to pray the rosary, With the rosary you will overcome all the troubles which Satan is trying to inflict on the Catholic Church. Let all priests pray the rosary. Give time to the rosary (Special Message June 25, 1985).
St. Paul also speaks of prayer in his letter to the Romans:
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches hearts, knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God (Rom 8:26-27).
Reflection:
Fr. Albert Shamon tells a unique story of the rosary, revolving around Dr. Carlos Finlay, the Cuban physician who discovered that yellow fever and malaria were carried by the mosquito. Returning home one night, exhausted after a long day's work, he remembered that he had not yet said his rosary, which was a daily devotion for him. So he began to pray, sleepy through he was, but he was distracted by a buzzing mosquito flying persistently around his head.
At that moment, as if inspired by the Virgin, the idea occurred to him that it May be the mosquito which transmits yellow fever and malaria. He began to experiment with this theory and proved that it was indeed correct ending a century of research into the cause of these dreaded diseases.
Application:
Today, simply take the advice of Our Lady to heart:
"I urge you to ask everyone to pray the rosary. Give time to the rosary".

Words of God the Father for the World Current Release
The Words of God the Father through Gianna Talone Sullivan To the World October 8, 2008
Dear Children of Humanity,
Allow Me to speak about the most fair and purest woman, so Immaculate and preserved without stain. She is your mentor, an advocate for the Truth. She directs you to My Son, enlightens you to know and to love the Trinity and to follow without knowing the way. How beautiful this fair Queen—so fair and beautiful that the angels plead that she would commission them on her behalf to your aid. They desire to hold your petitions and embrace them, to lay them at the Foot of the Throne.
How pure and loving a woman—so astute, wise and kind; so united through suffering, holy and humble, meek and patient! How blessed you are that the Most Holy Trinity has given to you the gift of this fairest Queen in this time of your need, to strengthen and to guide you, to point the way, to outline a safe path, to preserve you from harm, and to protect you from evil. In all of history throughout ages past, never has there been a Queen as pure as she! Esther led the way; Mary fulfilled the way.
For you who have eyes to see and ears to hear, could you be more blessed than to receive and to listen? All she has unveiled to you is unfolding! Are you dismayed, or perhaps, many even frightened? Are you astounded, or do you not care? Do you continue to desecrate, or do you change and have hope fulfilled with the faith of Love?
Do you not know that the angels in Heaven desire to have the power you have to suffer like unto My Son and shared by this most beloved, fair and humble servant and Queen? To love, in its purest form, is to suffer—not being distracted by fear, not being cowardly in times of challenge, but being strong, faith-filled, hopeful people of God.
Look to your most wonderful intercessor, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, who bore the Most Precious One of God!
The gift of life is given to you for all eternity by means of the woman whose “fiat,” sorrow, and suffering are greater than what the mind can comprehend. United to God and her Son, she is inseparable in suffering from Him Who redeemed the world. She, who in silence gave to the world, is your hope; and He is your salvation!
Look within and ponder, and it will be revealed to you a most wonderful enlightenment of your mind and heart.
The Hidden Life of Our Lord as told to Gianna Sullivan Current Release
My HIDDEN LIFE By Our Lord Jesus Christ to Gianna Talone Sullivan 11/03/03
31. The Love of My Mother
I was sitting on My mother's lap facing her. She was looking at Me. I put both my hands out (palms down) towards her. She kissed both my hands, one first and then the other. Then I turned My hands over. She kissed the other side of My hands, one first and then the other. I did this three times, and each time she kissed My hands. Then I put My hands on her neck, and I laid My little head on her shoulder.
She held me ever so lovingly. She did not say anything to me. Our Love for one another joined the Love of the Holy Trinity. How important this is for people to take time to love one another. A moment's rest, a prayerful smile, a genuine look of concern, all send the love and embrace of comfort My mother gave to Me, joined with the Love of the Holy Trinity.
When I was little, times like that gave me the strength later to endure and persevere the torment and agony from people's lack of love. There were moments when I was young that I never wanted to leave My mother's arms. That is why I held on to her for comfort. I would experience a fear of being alone and abandoned. I did not know at that age what the extent of my anguish later would entail, but I would feel alone and frightened.
My mother would hold me. She did not need to say anything. I wanted her comfort. I was safe with her. She knew exactly how too calm me, love me and protect me with her motherly Love. No one could replace the Love My mother had for Me and continues to have for Me as well as for all the children of the world. She formed me in her womb, and my soul knew her well.
O' would it be wise and well if people took these words of mine and placed them in their hearts! Praise is ever fitting and necessary to comfort me and to assist in My designs. All is in the Hands of God! I am here and very much aware of the situations at hand. Do not doubt in the Way of God, but believe and be glad.
My mother will comfort you as she comforted me. She will hold you, calm you, love you and protect you. She is your Mother, too. She will teach you as she taught Me. She will show you the Way and lead you to Me. She will take you the safest and most direct Way. So, if you ever feel alone or abandoned, you too will have the strength to endure and persevere.

"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

Medjugorje Day By Day May 23 - THE HOUR OF SATAN
St. Dominic, Priest & Preacher, Founder of Dominicans (1170-1221), Feast, Aug. 8 It was to St. Dominic that Our Lady gave the Holy Rosary which has become, next to Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the most powerful prayer in the Church.
Mother Teresa Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 23 Do that penance of remembering, with sorrow, your offenses committed against God; the penance of being constantly good, the penance of fighting against your defects.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Grace is the saving factor! "The good recover peace of soul; the evil have to be satisfied with peace of mind. The explanation of this phenomenon is that the good have another principle of action in them than the evil. The evil are guided solely by the thought either of the satisfaction of the flesh or the spirit and that this world is all.
But the good have another principle in them, entirely above nature, which is called grace, and by it they are united to God. This principle of grace is always rising up against their sin and generally triumphs over it with the slightest cooperation of the will."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus: My daughter, do you think you have written enough about My mercy? What you have written is but a drop compared to the ocean. I am Love and Mercy itself. There is no misery that could be a match for My mercy, neither will misery exhaust it, because as it is being granted-it increases. The soul that trusts in My mercy is most fortunate, because I myself take care of it. (1273)
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. May 23 - THE HOUR OF SATAN
Our Lady gives us a somber message today:
The hour has come when the demon is authorized to act with all his force and power. The present hour is the hour of Satan (First Years 84-85).
As we see in scripture, evil often attacks those dearest to the Lord:
When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he was infuriated, and he sent [for] and killed all the children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had learned from the wise men (Mt 2:16).
Reflection:
"This is the hour of Satan," Our Lady warns us. Certainly he has held sway over the last century, which can claim two devastating world wars, the Nazi holocaust, the agonizing rise and spread of Communism, and the wars in Korea, Asia, and the Middle East, to mention only several. It has been the bloodiest century of mankind's history, despite its scientific and material progress.
The hour of Satan also speaks of his relentless attacks on the individual, including the explosion of addictive diseases, thoughtless materialism, an unprecedented crime rate, AIDS, a skyrocketing divorce rate, and an array of other tragedies.
The Blessed Mother wants us to know what we are battling, that Satan attacks the weakest link in both society and the individual, and that his ultimate goal is simply destruction. But she also gives us the weapons to fight the Evil One: conversion, faith, and prayer, the sacraments, and the rosary. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Application:
The power of Satan has peaked. Since our chief weapon in his demise is prayer, let us add this to our daily prayer intentions, beginning today.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 22 - CONSECRATE YOURSELVES TO THE CROSS
"St. Gregory Nazianzen coined a formula which applies directly to the Word Incarnate dwelling among us sacramentally: 'Eternal Wisdom became man in our midst in order to say to every one of us: 'Go to the Trinity!'" (Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).
Mother Teresa - Peace begins with a smile
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 22 You are not unaware of the fact that I desired to die and love God; either death of love, given that life without this love is worse than death. Oh my daughter, help me! I am dying and in agony at all times. Everything seems to be a dream to me, and I don't know where I am wandering. Dear God! When will the time come can when I, too, can sing: "Is this my rest, oh God in eternity?"
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - No wonder psychology is such a booming business! "In the good soul, the effect of doing evil can lead to moral understanding and being repentant. In the evil soul, the effect is physical and psychological. It shows less in the soul and more in the mind and the body. The moral effect is sorrow, contrition, repentance, which leads to a restoration of fellowship with God and therefore peace. The physical and psychological effect is anxiety, fear, worry, psychoses and neuroses. The good take to their knees when they do wrong; the evil, if they have money enough, betake themselves to a couch. The good want their sins forgiven; the evil want them explained away."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - My Jesus, support me when difficult and stormy days come, days of testing, days of ordeal, when suffering and fatigue begin to oppress my body and my soul. Sustain me, Jesus, and give me strength to bear suffering. Set a guard upon my lips that they may address no word of complaint to creatures. Your most merciful Heart is all my hope. I have nothing for my defense but only Your mercy; in it lies all my trust. (1065)
Although the temptations are strong, a whole wave of doubts beats against my soul, and discouragement stands by, ready to enter into the act, the Lord, however, strengthens my will, against which all the attempts of the enemy are shattered as if against a rock. I see how many actual graces God grants me; these support me ceaselessly. I am very weak, and I attribute everything solely to the grace of God. (1086)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
May 22 - CONSECRATE YOURSELVES TO THE CROSS
The Virgin speaks of the cross today:
Pray before the cross, for special graces come from it. Consecrate yourselves to the cross and do not blaspheme either Jesus or the cross. (Special Message June 29,1986).
And from Luke's gospel, Christ gives his life for us upon the cross:
It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last. (Lk 23 :44-46).
Reflection:
Darkness covered the whole land for three hours at midday. All nature seemed to mourn over the stark tragedy of the death of the Son of God. In the midst of this darkness, the curtain in the Temple, separating the Holy of Holies from the holy place, was torn in two, an event which symbolized the meaning of the cross.
The Temple had 3 parts: the courtyard area the holy place, where only priests could enter; and the Holy of Holies, where the high priest alone could enter once a year to atone for the sins of the people.
It was in the Holy of Holies that The Ark of the Covenant, the symbol of God's presence, rested. The curtain that split was the one that closed off the Holy of Holies form view. At Christ's death, the barrier between God and man was torn apart. Now all people are able to approach God directly through Christ.
Application:
Our Lady asks us to, "Pray before the cross. Consecrate yourselves to the cross." Today, with a crucifix in your hands, make this consecration

WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2009
MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
YOU COME INTO THE QUIET OF MY HEART, THAT YOU PRAY WITH SINCERITY AND CONVICTION. YOU COME TO ME THE MOTHER OF GOD. LET ME SAY TO YOU, I GREET YOU MY LOVING CHILDREN, WITH A DEEP AND TRUE LOVE AND I GIVE TO YOU MY HEART, THAT IT COMFORT YOU, PROTECT YOU, LOVE YOU. YOU HAVE ALWAYS THIS HEART AS YOUR REFUGE AND YOUR HOPE.
EACH DAY YOU EXPERIENCE EVEN MORE TURMOIL AND CHAOS. THIS IS WIDELY SPREAD AND WIDELY ACCEPTED. GOD IS NOT CHERISHED, BUT PUSHED ASIDE AND THERE IS NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF JESUS. YOU HAVE BEEN PLACED INTO THIS TIME, FOR THIS TIME AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE ACCEPTED GOD, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT, YOU HAVE BECOME NOT ONLY TORCHBEARERS, AS YOU CARRY THE LIGHT OF JESUS,
BUT YOU ARE THE BEARERS OF THE TRUTH AND YOU WILL CARRY THE LIGHT AND THE TRUTH INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. HOW BLESSED YOU ARE MY CHILDREN, HOW BLESSED YOU ARE.
YOU HAVE COME THROUGH MUCH TURMOIL AND MANY, MANY TRIALS ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, YOU WILL BE AWAKE TO GOD'S PLAN, AND AS IT CONTINUES TO UNFOLD, ALL YOU HAVE ENDURED FOR JESUS' SAKE, WILL BE ENHANCED BY THE LOVE AND MERCY OF GOD, BRINGING TO YOU PEACE WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE. YOU WILL FARE WELL IN THE FACE OF DEVASTATION, AND EVIL WILL HAVE NO HOLD ON YOU. SO I SAY TO YOU, TRUST, PRAY, AND ACCEPT ALL GRACE GIVEN YOU. BE PREPARED IN HEART AND SOUL AND LOVE EACH OTHER, BE FOR EACH OTHER, AND ALWAYS FORGIVE EACH OTHER. THIS IS YOUR PLIGHT, THIS IS YOUR BOND, THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW AND FOREVER.
WITH DEEP AND TENDER LOVE DO I BLESS YOU AND I DO SO IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
MY BELOVED PRIESTS-SONS GIVE TO YOU THE BLESSING OF CHRIST.

Message from God the Father to Patsy Soto
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
My precious daughter, it has been some time since I have spoken to your heart. You once asked that I please not bring words to your heart because it was very difficult for you My beloved one to receive My presence from within your soul. It was asked of My Beloved and faithful servant, Sr. Conchita to give My Words to you instead. I spoke to you than, that one day the work given you by My Beloved Son, your Jesus of Mercy would bring to the world a tremendous outpouring of Heavenly Graces through those who would open their hearts to the Holy Will of My Son and through His Merciful Love given in His Novena For World Peace and Retreats.
This is the reason you my little one and all My children from this Ministry are being given these rays of His Light, Gifts of His Merciful Love upon all My Beloved Children who have pleased your Father Almighty in gathering together, through sacrifice and a surrender of your wills to attend these times of unity of prayer being lifted in these Novenas for World Peace and Retreats, where you plead for My Mercy upon this world which has turned away from your Creator.
Now My Church has been disgraced through allowing the epitome of desecration in the guise of portraying honor to one who has openly mandated the murders of HUMAN INNOCENTS AS WHEN PHAROH ORDERED THE KILLING OF ALL Hebrew baby boys and as when the King of Egypt ordered killings
Open My daughter to 2 Maccabees 5 - Vs 12 - He ordered his soldiers to cut down without mercy those whom they met and to slay those who took refuge in their houses, 13There was a massacre of young and old, a killing of women and children, a slaughter of virgins and infants. 14 - In the space of three days, eighty thousand were lost, forty thousand meeting a violent death, and the same number being sold into slavery. 15 - Not satisfied with this, the king dared to enter the holiest temple in the world;
Chapter 6 - v1 Not long after this the king sent an Athenian senator to force the Jew to abandon the customs of their ancestors and live no longer by the laws of God:
My beloved children, your world has become an atheistic culture of death. Society has plagued its evil sadistic killing spree upon My defensless unborn. You My children must continue seeking My Mercy upon this world through these gifts of novenas and retreats asked by My Beloved Son, your Jesus of Mercy, for it is only through prayer and sacrifice that can bring any ray of hope into this land.
You have pleased Me your Almighty Father and I thank you and Bless you my children and invite you to continue on this Journey of Grace with My Son your J esus of Mercy. I love you My children, your Abba Father

Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I ask that you give these words to My children. When you enter into prayer I invite each of you to remember that you are inviting our presence among you. Your time of prayer should not be rushed, your words you must remember are being heard in our presence, it is your conversation with us. You would not show disrespect by running through your words to a friend.
Rushing your sentences to this friend to the point that the words become meaningless. As I spoke to My beloved Fr. Melvin today, inviting you My little one to speak of the pain My Holy Mother suffers and has allowed you to share in some of this suffering with Her for many years during the prayer gatherings, presentations, novenas, because of the carelessness in prayer, the rushing of prayers.
Please My children, remember you are My examples, who will teach others, it can be a special time of conversation with us but it is up to each one of you, to receive all that we desire to give you.
I love you My children your Jesus of Mercy
My precious sisters and brothers in our Jesus Mercy, many times throughout my time in this ministry, I have been very privileged in learning from your example of the beautiful way many of you pray the Rosary, or the Our Father, the Divine Mercy, and I knew in my heart you were really having a beautiful encounter with Jesus, Mama Mary.
But there were times when in some places that some were saying the prayers so fast that it was hard to keep up and it was during those times that I would become physically sick, I can’t explain the horrible pain because it was as if someone was scratching a chalkboard right into my ear and I wanted to stop it and couldn’t til finally it made me so sick to my stomach that I just wanted the prayer time to be over with.
Please for Our Jesus, Abba Father, the Holy Spirit, Mama Mary , think about who you are speaking to, Love Them, Love Her, Love Her Son, They love you so much. My love and prayers me patsy
Fair use, 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Diaspora who would otherwise not be exposed to such.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

"It is time to receive the New Pentecost
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"It is time to receive the New Pentecost"
Thursday, May 21, 2009
Dear Friends,
Rules of Order
So what is to be done, brothers? When you assemble, one has a psalm, another an instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything should be done for building up. If anyone speaks in a tongue, let it be two or at most three, and each in turn, and one should interpret. But if there is no interpreter, the person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others discern. But if a revelation is given to another person sitting there, the first one should be silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged. Indeed, the spirits of prophets are under the prophets control, since he is not the God of disorder but of peace.1 Cor14:26:33
Our Lord and Our Savior gave a message to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, The many gifts that My followers receive through the Holy Spirit are to be used in a proper way. When you assemble to pray, each one is to come with a contribution to build up the church. One comes with a reading from the Bible, another comes with a teaching about an aspect of the faith, another with a revelation that is in conformity with the Bible, another can speak in tongue and another can interpret what was said in tongue.
Prophecy is very important at such prayer meetings. It shows that the Holy Spirit is present and He has a word for the assembly. Listen attentively to these prophetic words for they are a teaching for you. The Holy Spirit uses any person He wants to bring His word to the group.
Usually when one is a prophet, he or she will remain a prophet. The Church I founded has to be filled with the Holy Spirit and He has to touch all the members of the Church. If a person is not opened to the Spirit, he or she is like a dead member. It is time to wake up and to receive the New Pentecost that the Father and I are sending throughout the world. How I wish that all believers were renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray that the New Pentecost may touch everyone.
Father Melvin P.S. The next message will be on Tuesday next week.

"Cherish these gifts" Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Dear Friends,
Functions of These Gifts
Brothers and sisters, stop being childish in your thinking. In respect to evil be like infants, but in your thinking be mature. It is written in the law: By people speaking strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to me, says the Lord.
Thus, tongues are a sign not for those who believe but for unbelievers, whereas prophecy is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. So, if the whole church meets in one place and everyone speaks in tongues, and then uninstructed people or unbelievers should come in, will they not say that you are out of your minds? But if everyone is prophesying, and an unbeliever or uninstructed person should come in, he will be convinced by everyone and judged by everyone, and the secrets of his heart will be disclosed, and so he will fall down and worship God, declaring, ‘God is really in your midst.’1 Cor 14:20:25
Here is a message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, By the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, many gifts were received by those present. Two of these gifts are speaking in tongues and prophecy.
These are great gifts, which help build up the Church. Speaking in tongues expresses the words of the Holy Spirit but no one understands what is spoken unless there is somebody present who can interpret these words. When a prophecy is given in tongues, it is important to wait until someone interprets this prophecy. Speaking in tongues is a sign for unbelievers but prophecy is a sign for believers.
Prophecy shows that the power of God is present and the words given are for the strengthening of the believers. These prophetic words will remind them of My love for them and call them to follow Me more faithfully. These words can reveal to them something that no one knows. They can make known the problems and difficulties a person is going through and that I am there to help them. Cherish these gifts.
Father Melvin

Medjugorje Day By Day May 21 - CHANGE YOUR HEARTS
"Today I am suffering; I need beneficent balsam to heal the wounds of my soul; and Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is the precious balm poured forth upon them" (Fr. Hermann Cohen).
"To attract souls and transform them into Himself through love, Christ has revealed His own infinite love, His own Heart inflamed by love for souls, a love that impelled Him to mount the Cross, to remain with us in the Eucharist and to enter our souls and to leave us in testament His own Mother as our Mother" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
Let people know
Mother Teresa Good works are links that form a chain of love.
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 21 Do your best to conform always and in everything to the will of God, in all eventualities, and do not fear. This is the sure path to heaven.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We don't know how good we have it until we lose it! "Picture two men married to two old shrews. One man was married before to a beautiful, wise, devoted wife who died. The other was never married before. Which of the two suffers more? Obviously, the man who once knew love and happiness. So it is with doing evil. He who has known the inner peace of soul that comes from union with God undergoes greater agony and torture in his sin than the one who never was ushered into such treasures. The rich who become poor suffer more than the poor who never were rich. The soul which offends God Whom he loves suffers more than the soul who willed not to have God in his life
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Today, Jesus entered my room wearing a bright robe and girded with a golden belt, His whole figure resplendent with great majesty. He said, My daughter, why are you giving in to thoughts of fear? I answered, "O Lord, You know why."
And He said, Why? "This work frightens me. You know that I am incapable of carrying it out." And He said, Why? "You see very well that I am not in good health, that I have no education, that I have no money, that I am an abyss of misery, that I fear contacts with people. Jesus, I desire only You. You can release me from this."
And the Lord said to me, My daughter, what you have said is true. You are very miserable, and it pleased Me to carry out this work of mercy precisely through you who are nothing but misery itself.
Do not fear; I will not leave you alone. Do whatever you can in this matter; I will accomplish everything that is lacking in you. You know what is within your power to do; do that. The Lord looked into the depth of my being with great kindness; I thought I would die for joy under that gaze.
The Lord disappeared, and joy, strength and power to act remained in my soul. But I was surprised that the Lord did not want to release me and that He is not changing anything He has once said. And despite all these joys, there is always a shadow of sorrow. I see that love and sorrow go hand in hand. (881)
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.
May 21 - CHANGE YOUR HEARTS
The Mother of God speaks of conversion today:
Dear Children, today I ask you to begin working on your hearts as you have been working in the fields. Work and change your hearts so that the new Spirit of God can dwell in them (Weekly Message April 25, 1985).
Christ speaks of conversion as a "new birth" through water and the Spirit:
Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above."
Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit." (Jn3:3-6).
Reflection:
What did Nicodemus know about the kingdom? From scripture he knew it would be ruled by God, it would be restored on earth, and it would incorporate God's people. Christ revealed to this devout Pharisee that the kingdom would come to the whole world, not just to the Jews, and that Nicodemus would not be a part of it unless he was personally born again. This was a revolutionary concept; the kingdom was personal, not national or ethnic, and its entrance requirements were conversion and spiritual rebirth.
Christ also taught that God's kingdom had already begun in the hearts of believers through the presence of the Holy Spirit. It will be fully realized when he returns again and abolishes evil forever.
Application:
Today Our Lady calls us to: "Work and change your hearts so that the new Spirit of God can dwell in them," Let us pray for the insight and grace to do just that.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 22 - CONSECRATE YOURSELVES TO THE CROSS
"St. Gregory Nazianzen coined a formula which applies directly to the Word Incarnate dwelling among us sacramentally: 'Eternal Wisdom became man in our midst in order to say to every one of us: 'Go to the Trinity!'" (Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).
Mother Teresa - CROSS
Peace begins with a smile
Meditations by Padre Pio - May 22 You are not unaware of the fact that I desired to die and love God; either death of love, given that life without this love is worse than death. Oh my daughter, help me! I am dying and in agony at all times.
Everything seems to be a dream to me, and I don't know where I am wandering. Dear God! When will the time come can when I, too, can sing: "Is this my rest, oh God in eternity?"
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - No wonder psychology is such a booming business! "In the good soul, the effect of doing evil can lead to moral understanding and being repentant. In the evil soul, the effect is physical and psychological. It shows less in the soul and more in the mind and the body. The moral effect is sorrow, contrition, repentance, which leads to a restoration of fellowship with God and therefore peace. The physical and psychological effect is anxiety, fear, worry, psychoses and neuroses. The good take to their knees when they do wrong; the evil, if they have money enough, betake themselves to a couch. The good want their sins forgiven; the evil want them explained away."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - My Jesus, support me when difficult and stormy days come, days of testing, days of ordeal, when suffering and fatigue begin to oppress my body and my soul.
Sustain me, Jesus, and give me strength to bear suffering. Set a guard upon my lips that they may address no word of complaint to creatures. Your most merciful Heart is all my hope. I have nothing for my defense but only Your mercy; in it lies all my trust. (1065)
Although the temptations are strong, a whole wave of doubts beats against my soul, and discouragement stands by, ready to enter into the act, the Lord, however, strengthens my will, against which all the attempts of the enemy are shattered as if against a rock. I see how many actual graces God grants me; these support me ceaselessly. I am very weak, and I attribute everything solely to the grace of God. (1086)
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.
May 22 - CONSECRATE YOURSELVES TO THE CROSS
The Virgin speaks of the cross today:
Pray before the cross, for special graces come from it. Consecrate yourselves to the cross and do not blaspheme either Jesus or the cross. (Special Message June 29,1986).
And from Luke's gospel, Christ gives his life for us upon the cross:
It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last. (Lk 23 :44-46).
Reflection:
Darkness covered the whole land for three hours at midday. All nature seemed to mourn over the stark tragedy of the death of the Son of God. In the midst of this darkness, the curtain in the Temple, separating the Holy of Holies from the holy place, was torn in two, an event which symbolized the meaning of the cross.
The Temple had 3 parts: the courtyard area the holy place, where only priests could enter; and the Holy of Holies, where the high priest alone could enter once a year to atone for the sins of the people.
It was in the Holy of Holies that The Ark of the Covenant, the symbol of God's presence, rested. The curtain that split was the one that closed off the Holy of Holies form view. At Christ's death, the barrier between God and man was torn apart. Now all people are able to approach God directly through Christ.
Application:
Our Lady asks us to, "Pray before the cross. Consecrate yourselves to the cross." Today, with a crucifix in your hands, make this consecration.

Thursday Adoration, May 21, 2009
Jesus Explains Life And Death
Today I spent time alone with Jesus in adoration. There I prayed for all those with special needs and intentions. I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed.
On my knees I asked Jesus to only allow my mind's eye to see that which comes from Him. And that my heart would only hear words that were from His heart to ours.
I prayed; Speak Lord, Your servant listens.
I began to see a trellis high above my head and I saw clouds. The trellis was supporting beautiful yellow roses. I know that the yellow rose signifies friendship.
Then Jesus spoke saying; When the rose dies and falls to the ground, it fertilizes the earth. For everything that is made by God has a purpose in life and after death. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
Note: If anyone knows what the yellow rose signifies in the Catholic church, please share that with us.

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!
