The Medjugorge message given by Our Lady to the Medjugorge visionary Mirjana during her annual apparition on March 18th, 2010, so we present it here again:

“Today I call you to love with all your heart and with all your soul. Pray for the gift of love, because when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself. My Son does not refuse those who call Him and who desire to live according to Him.

Pray for those who do not comprehend love, who do not understand what it means to love. Pray that God may be their Father and not their Judge. My children, you be my apostles, be my river of love. I need you. Thank you.”

"I bless all those with a humble heart"

Dear Friends,

The Cleansing of the Temple

Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those engaged in selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, "It is written: 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you are making it a den of thieves." The blind and the lame approached him in the temple area, and he cured them. When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wondrous things he was doing, and the children crying out in the temple area, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they were indignant and said to him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes; and have you never read the text, 'Out of the mouths of infants and nurslings you have brought forth praise'?" And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany, and there he spent the night. (Matthew 21:12-17)

We had another fine day yesterday but around noon we had a shower. It did not last long but a lot of snow disappeared. The temperature was around seven or eight degrees Celsius.

I spent the day yesterday preparing for the weekend. I packed my suitcase and all the things I will need for the three days in Tignish. I will leave this afternoon so I can get ready to begin in the evening after supper. I will be back home on Sunday afternoon where I will give a talk in the Little Shrine about Our Blessed Mother. Then I will get ready to go to Charlottetown on Monday afternoon in order to be on the spot to take the plane at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday for Las Vegas going via Toronto, Canada.

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

"Today is the Feast day of St. Joseph, My foster father, who is the Patron Saint of the Church. I call you all to honor him today.

I was very angry when I came to the Temple in Jerusalem one day and many people were selling all kinds of things there. I took a rope and I drove them all out of the Temple, as this building was the house of God.

I might do the same thing today because many people who go to church act as if they are at the marketplace. They talk and laugh in a holy place where all should be silent for prayer. They are not conscious that I am there present in the Tabernacle. Many pass by the Tabernacle and they do not as much as bow their head. Is it not the custom to genuflect as you pass by Me? If you believe in your Lord and Savior, you will acknowledge His presence and bend the knee before Him. Those who do not show reverence show a lack of faith. I bless all those with a humble heart. I love you."

"I bless you all"

Dear Friends,

The Entry into Jerusalem

...Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tethered, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them here to me. And if anyone should say anything to you, reply, 'The master has need of them.' Then he will send them at once." This happened so that what had been spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled: "Say to daughter Zion, behold, your king comes to you, meek and riding on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden." The disciples went and did as Jesus had ordered them. They brought the ass and the colt and laid their cloaks over them, and he sat upon them. The very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. The crowds preceding him and those following kept crying out and saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest." And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was shaken and asked, "Who is this?" And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee." (Matthew 21:1-11)

Yesterday morning I celebrated Holy Mass at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and in the evening I was at the prayer meeting at our church. We prayed for the people of Haiti and Chile who are suffering very much because of the huge earthquakes that struck these countries. Tomorrow I will go to Tignish Heritage Inn until Sunday afternoon for the weekend retreat or growth weekend. Then on Tuesday morning I will take the plane from Charlottetown and fly to Las Vegas, Nevada, for a nine-day novena for world peace. I will only be back on the 2nd of April.

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

"Every year the Church celebrates My solemn entry into Jerusalem on an ass and this day is called Palm Sunday. I entered Jerusalem as their King and many people were present to welcome Me. The people in the crowd carried palm branches in their hand and they sang the song "Hosanna to the Son of David."

This entry into Jerusalem shows you that I am the Lord, the Messiah, entering the city of God. This is the place where I will offer My great sacrifice for the salvation of all the people of the world for which I was born. In a few days I will carry My cross through this city and this cross is the symbol of all the sins of the world. I will be nailed to it in great suffering for all to see and upon the cross I will offer to My Heavenly Father the oblation that takes away the sins of the world. This supreme act of love will change the world forever.

I call you all to join Me during these days as I live My last days on earth. Join the crowds at My entry into Jerusalem and during the way of the cross. I bless you all."

"Give your 'yes' to Me today"

Dear Friends,

The Healing of the Two Blind Men

As they left Jericho, a great crowd followed Jesus. Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, "Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!" The crowd warned them to be silent, but they called out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!" Jesus stopped and called them and said, "What do you want me to do for you?" They answered him, "Lord, let our eyes be opened." Moved with pity, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight, and followed him. (Matthew 20:29-34)

We had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and the snow is fast disappearing. The temperature reached 5 degrees Celsius. All are thanking God for giving us such wonderful weather.

I was at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday evening for Eucharistic Adoration. Then I went to Miscouche for a meeting at the Acadian (French) Museum there, which lasted two hours. This morning I will celebrate Holy Mass at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and I will offer it for all those who are inscribed in the Book of Remembrance. Holy Mass is offered for them every Wednesday. This evening I will go to our church for the prayer meeting. I will be in Tignish this weekend for the retreat starting on Friday evening and ending on Sunday at noon.

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

"My friends, sickness, suffering and death do not come from God. They are the result of sin. The Father created Adam and Eve in such a way that they would never suffer any sickness and they would not die. It is because of their horrible sin against the Father that all these things came to be.

I always have pity on all the people who suffer in any way. When I saw these two blind men shouting for help one day as we were leaving Jericho, I asked them what they wanted. They asked to be able to see. I placed My hand on their eyes and immediately they were healed. It was a great joy for Me to see them so happy once their sight was restored. They were men of faith. The crowd who saw this miracle was touched indeed. In showing them this great power, they would come to accept that I was the Messiah, the Savior, who had come into the world to save them.

As you know, I used suffering and death as the means to save you from your sins and to open heaven for you. In My Passion, which you will celebrate soon, I was able to offer Myself in sacrifice to the Father for your redemption. Come now and accept Me as your Savior and My blood will wash you clean. You will be renewed by the Holy Spirit and become the beloved of the Father. Give your 'yes' to Me today and every day."

"I want you with Me"

Dear Friends,

The Workers in the Vineyard

"The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out about nine o'clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and he said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just.' So they went off. He went out again around noon, and around three o'clock, and did likewise. Going out about five o'clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' They answered, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard.' When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Summon the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and ending with the first.' When those who had started about five o'clock came, each received the usual daily wage. So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, but each of them also got the usual wage. And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner, saying, "These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us.' He said to one of them in reply, 'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? Am I not free to do as I wish with my money? ... Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last." (Matthew 20:1-16)

We had another beautiful day yesterday with the sun the whole day. I was at the Manor in Alberton yesterday afternoon to celebrate Holy Mass with the people there. We lost one resident, Margaret Doucette, who will be buried today.

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

"All the people of the world are asked to enter My Kingdom. Some enter as babies, others as youth, still others as adult and even some during their last days on earth. You are never too late to enter the Kingdom. Now is the appropriate time for you to be a full member of My Kingdom. This is what the story of the workers in the vineyard is all about.

You enter the Kingdom during your years on earth and you receive your reward when you enter heaven. All those who enter heaven receive the same reward, which is everlasting happiness in heaven. There are different degrees of happiness but all are filled to the brim once they are in heaven. In heaven you see the Father, the Holy Spirit and I, the Son, together with My Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints. There in this holy place you are filled with joy forever. In heaven, there is no sickness, injury, tiredness, hunger or thirst. There is no death and nothing negative. Everything is positive and full of light. Heaven is the home for which the Father has created you. Do not let the things of this world turn you away from your primary goal but keep it always before you. My grace is always there ready for you if you ask for it. I want you with Me."

"You need Me"

Dear Friends,

The Rich Young Man

Now someone approached Jesus and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." He asked him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, "You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself." The young man said to him, "All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 19:16-23)

We had another fine day yesterday although the temperature was a few degrees lower. It was sunny the whole day and we should have sun again today.

Yesterday morning I celebrated Holy Mass at the Church of the Assumption in the village of Miminegash and a good group of people attended. Today I will go to the Manor in Alberton to celebrate Holy Mass with the residents and to give Holy Communion in their rooms to those who are bedridden.

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

"It is very difficult for rich people to enter heaven because they are attached to their possessions. Many of them want to follow the commandments and would like to follow Me but they cannot get rid of their riches. They believe they need their possessions for their security. They do not realize that what they need is strong faith and the graces to follow Me on earth and to be united with Me forever in heaven.

It is the same for so many people that are addicted to all kinds of things. How difficult it is for an alcoholic or a drug addict to stop taking liquor or drugs! It is the same for those who smoke; even if they need to stop smoking because it is ruining their health, they do not have the strength to do so. However, if they believe in Me and ask Me for the help they need with their addiction, I will give them the grace to stop and get rid of the problem. If their faith is weak, they need to see a person of great faith who can pray for them to receive the grace they need to liberate them.

I am calling you all, My brothers and sisters, to get rid of all that is blocking your relationship with Me. If you turn to Me, I will help you so that your faith may be strong and our relationship will grow every day. You need Me if you want success in your life and to reach heaven one day. Come and I will give you My peace and My love."

"As a child, Mary was presented to the Lord in the temple by her parents, Anne and Joachim. Mary gave herself completely to do the Father's will.

(From our November 2003 "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" newsletter.  The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section of our website at www.ACFP2000.com).

 

Mother Teresa -

The aim of taking a retreat is to advance in the knowledge and love of God, to purify ourselves, and to reform and transform our lives according to the life of our model, Jesus Christ.
It is not so much a looking back on the achievements and failures of the past, as a looking forward to a more generous imitation of our Lord Himself.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Always love suffering, which, besides being the work of Divine Wisdom, reveals the work of His love to us even more (ASN, 43).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Without Faith it's all psychobabble!

"When religion is strong, it purges the unconscious mind of all those fears and anxieties, those worries and psychoses which psychoanalysis tries to expunge in the soul without faith."

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

 

Eighth Day

Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.     (1226)

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised.

     From that terrible heat of the cleansing fire
     Rises a plaint to Your mercy,
     And they receive comfort, refreshment, relief
     In the stream of mingled Blood and Water.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion.       (1227)

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. 

Mar 24 - THE VIGIL OF THE ANNUNCIATION

On this vigil in 1985 Our Lady said:

"Today I invite all of you to confession, even if you have already gone a few days ago. I wish that you would live my feast in your hearts. You are not able to, if you do not abandon yourselves completely to the Lord, It is for this reason that I call you to reconciliation with the Lord". (First Years March 24, 1985).

This reconciliation to God is possible because of the redeeming sacrifice of Christ on Calvary:

For in (Christ) all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross. And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him… (Col 1:19-22).

Reflection:

On this vigil of the Annunciation, Our Lady says that, "I wish that you would live my feast in your hearts." This may sound puzzling until we reflect on the core message of the Annunciation, which is Mary's complete abandonment to God's will, signified by her unequivocal yes to all he asked of her. Thus the Blessed Mother wishes us to experience this same surrender to God in our own hearts, this same yes to God that consecrates us entirely to him. Thus her feast day, her yes, is experienced within us.

The fruit of this abandonment in our lives is a profound trust and confidence in the Lord, the same trust that Mary possessed. She longs to share it with us.

The one obstacle is sin, and so it follows that Our Lady would end her message by saying, "Therefore, I call all of you to reconciliation with God." Our reading from St. Paul resounds with the same advice. Mary invites everyone to confession, where our sins are forgiven and can no longer separate us from God. We can therefore abandon ourselves to the Lord like trusting children, joining our yes to God with that of hers.

Application:

If you have not received the sacrament of reconciliation within the last month, make a firm commitment to do so this week, as Our Lady urges in her message today.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 23 - Renounce those things which are hur

 

"Aside from the Blessed Virgin, Saint Joseph was the first and most perfect adorer of our Lord." "Among the graces which Jesus gave to His foster-father—and He flooded him with graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament. That is the one we must ask of Saint Joseph. Have confidence, strong confidence in him. Take him as the patron and the model of your life of adoration." "Saint Joseph, first and most perfect of adorers, obtain for me the grace to love, adore, and serve Christ Eucharistic as you did." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)  

 

"Before whom am I?  You are, Holy Church answers me, in the presence of Jesus Christ, your King, your Savior, and your God . . . .  Adore Him therefore, O  my soul, with the faith of the kings of Bethlehem.  Offer Him the incense of your adoration, as to your God; the myrrh of your mortification, as to your Savior; the gold of your love and the tribute of dependence, as to your King!" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

 

Mother Teresa -

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Hungry to be fed.
Jesus is the Thirsty to be satiated.
Jesus is the Naked to be clothed.
Jesus is the Homeless to be taken in.
Jesus is the Sick to be healed.
Jesus is the Lonely to be loved.

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Love to be loved.
Jesus is the Joy to be shared.
Jesus is the Sacrifice to be offered.
Jesus is the Peace to be given.

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Word to be spoken.
Jesus is the Truth to be told.
Jesus is the Way to be walked.
Jesus is the Light to be lit.
Jesus is the Life to be lived.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The lot of chosen souls is to suffer. God, the author of all grace and of every gift leading to salvation, has decreed that glory will be ours on condition that we endure suffering in a Christian spirit (Letters II, p. 262).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Without the Face of Love you have the mask of evil

"If there is not one great Face of Love that bends over mankind, its troubled mind will fill it with a thousand horrible masks."

Seventh Day

Today bring to me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over My Passion and entered most deeply into My Spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.       (1224)

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.

      A soul who praises the goodness of her Lord
      Is especially loved by Him.
      She is always close to the living fountain
      And draws graces from Mercy Divine.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their spirit, overflowing with joy, sings a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them, I Myself will defend as My own glory, during their lifetime, and especially at the hour of their death, those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy.      (1225)

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. 

MARCH 23 - RENOUNCE THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE HURTING YOU

During Lent of 1990 Our Lady spoke of attachments:

"Dear Children, I invite you to surrender to God. In this season of Lent, I ask you to especially renounce those things to which your are attached but which are hurting you and your spiritual life. Therefore, little children, decide completely for God, and do not allow Satan into your life through those things that hurt both you and your spiritual life.

Little Children, God is offering himself totally to you, but you can discover and recognize him only in prayer. Therefore, make a decision for prayer! (Monthly Message Feb. 25, 1990).

St. Paul also warns of worldly attachments:

Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil 3:17-20).

Reflection:

St. Paul criticizes the self-indulgent Christians of his day, for although they claim allegiance to Christ, they ignore his model of servanthood and sacrifice.

They seem to satisfy their own desires even before thinking about the needs of others; to their detriment, they are "set upon the things of this world."

Our Lady of Medjugorje points to the same dangerI ask you to especially renounce," she says, "those things to which you are attached, but which are hurting you and your spiritual life."

Application:

Today, take the time to identify those attachments or addictions that hurt your spiritually. They could include alcohol, drugs, shopping, television, status seeking, power games, manipulation of others, and materialism in many forms. After you identify your own harmful attachments, isolate one and consciously work on moderating or even eliminating it for one week. At the same time, pray to the Blessed Mother for the special grace you will need; she will generously provide it.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 22 - I have been appealing for renewal

 

 

"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector.  As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus, we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love.  He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues.  Leading us to Jesus, he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.'  How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . .  Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic"  (St. Peter Julian Eymard).     

 

"Our Eucharistic faith tells us that Christ the King is himself here present, the tabernacle serving equivalently as his throne of grace.  In this context, then, we may aptly apply the inspired and inspiring words: 'Let us come boldly before the throne of grace, to meet with mercy and win that grace which will help us in our needs'" (Heb. 4:16).  (Fr. Richard  Foley, S.J.)

 

 

Mother Teresa -

Our ideal is no one but Jesus.
We must think as He thinks,
love as He loves,
wish as He wishes;
we must permit Him to use us to the full.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

True servants of God have always preferred adversity as being more in conformity with the way taken by our Head, Who worked out our salvation by means of the cross and humiliations (Epist. IV, p. 148).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The empty soul feeds Satan's needs

"Whence came the millions to accept the superstition of Nazism, Fascism, and Communism if it were not from an emptiness of soul brought about by a loss of faith? The essence of political superstition is the identification of the laboring class and Messianism."

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

 

Sixth Day

Today bring to me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.      (1220)

Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.       (1221)

      A truly gentle and humble soul
      Already here on earth the air of paradise breathes,
      And in the fragrance of her humble heart
      The Creator Himself delights.       (1222)

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon the souls of little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.       (1223)

Mar 22  -  I HAVE BEEN APPEALING FOR RENEWAL

The Madonna is firm in her call to Lenten renewal and prayer :

" Dear Children, day after day I have been appealing to you for renewal and prayer in the parish, but you are not responding. Today I am calling you for the last time. This is the season of Lent, and you as a parish should out of love, be moved to live my messages. If you do not, I do not wish to continue giving them. God is permitting me that. Thank you for responding to my call." Weekly Message Feb. 21, 1985

Psalm 38 is a repentant call to God :

For I am ready to fall, And my pain is ever with me. I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.

Those who are my foes without cause are mighty. And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

Those who render me evil for good Are my adversaries because I follow after good. Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me; Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. ---Psalm 38 ;17-22

Reflection :

Both Our Lady and the psalmist today call us to repentance, to acknowledge our sin, neglect, or indifference in the sight of God.

Because we have a tendency to sin or to be spiritually lethargic, repentance is the true measure of spiritual sensitivity. It means asking the Lord to forgive us and then abandoning our sinful or lethargic ways. But we cannot do this sincerely unless we are truly sorry for our misdeeds and then commit ourselves to positive action.

This is the Virgin's wish today, that we take to heart her call to renewal and prayer. It is a serious matter for all of us.

Application :

Review your spiritual life today. Has Lent been a time of prayer and renewal for you? If not, make a fresh start today.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 21 - Give up something dear

 

 "The Way of the Cross is thus a path leading to the heart of the Eucharistic mystery: popular piety and sacramental piety of the Church blend together and become one" (Pope Benedict XVI).

 

 

"The swaddling clothes of an infant hid the Son of God in Bethlehem, and the appearance of bread and wine hides the Reality of Christ" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).

 

Mother Teresa -

Believe in Jesus trust in Him with blind and absolute confidence because He is Jesus. Believe that Jesus and Jesus alone is life and sanctity is nothing but that same Jesus intimately living in you; then His hand will be free with you.
Give yourself unswervingly, conforming yourself in all things to His holy will.
Love Jesus generously.
Love Him trustfully, without looking back and without fear. Give yourself fully to Jesus. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your weakness.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Yes, I love the Cross, the Cross alone; I love it because I see it always on Jesus' shoulders (Letters I, p. 377).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

We have our divine priorities askew

"At the end of the twentieth century [and now in the 21st] we find ourselves living in an era of superstition in which minds believe everything as fanatics and quacks become shrines of worship and objects of adoration."

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

There is a series of graces which God pours into the soul after these trials by fire. The soul enjoys intimate union with God. It has many visions, both corporeal and intellectual. It hears many supernatural words, and sometimes distinct orders. But despite these graces, it is not self-sufficient. In fact it is even less so as a result of God's graces, because it is now open to many dangers and can easily fall prey to illusions. It ought to ask God for a spiritual director; but not only must it pray for one, it must also make every effort to find a leader who is an expert in these things, just as a military leader must know the ways along which he will lead [his followers] into battle. A soul that is united with God must be prepared for great and hard-fought battles.

After these purifications and tears, God abides in the soul in a special way, but the soul does not always cooperate with these graces. Not that the soul itself is not willing to work, but it encounters so many interior and exterior difficulties that it really takes a miracle to sustain the soul on these summits. In this, it absolutely needs a director. People have often sown doubt in my soul, and I myself have sometimes become frightened at the thought that I was, after all, an ignorant person and did not have knowledge of many things, above all, spiritual things. But when my doubts increased, I sought light from my confessor or my superiors. Yet I did not obtain what I desired.       (121)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 21  -  GIVE UP SOMETHING DEAR

The Blessed Mother speaks of sacrifice today :

"Thursday (day of the Eucharist), may each one find his way to fast; he who smokes, may abstain from smoking; he who drinks alcohol, have him not drink. Have each one  to him. May these recommendations be conveyed to the parish." Special Message Mar 1, 1984

From the prophet Isaiah :
Seek the Lord while he may be found, Call upon him while he is near; Let the wicked forsake their way, And the unrighteous their thoughts; Let them return to the Lord, that he may have Mercy on them, And to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ---Isaiah 55 :6-7

Reflection :
The concept of sacrifice and repentance reaches far back into the Old Testament. In the ancient rites of animal sacrifice, a person who had sinned brought an unblemished animal to the Temple priest. The individual then placed his hand on the head of the animal while it was killed, symbolizing his identification with the animal as his substitute. He symbolically transferred his sins to the animal, and thus his sins were taken away (atonement). Finally the animal was burned on the altar, signifying the person's complete dedication to God.


But the Lord required more than a sacrifice. He also asked the sinner to be truly repentant of his sins. The outward symbol (the sacrifice) and the inner change (repentance) were to work together in seeking the forgiveness of God. In our own day, sacrifices such as Our Lady recommends (foregoing alcohol, television, smoking, etc.) also serve as outward signs of repentance, but they also speak of dedication and reverence for the Lord, for they involve the whole person, soul and body, Words of love are easy, but backing them up with sacrifice adds creditability and power to our prayer.

Acts of self-denial also keep us focused on the Lord and help build character, in that we learn not to jump at every stray impulse. Involved here are some forgotten truths, brought to light again by the Blessed Virgin.

Application :
Our Lady is very specific in her message today. Let us simply heed her advice.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 18 - Be thankful in front of the cross

 

"Among the graces which Jesus gave to His foster-father—and He flooded him with the graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament.  That is the one we must ask of St. Joseph. 
Have confidence, strong confidence in him.  Take him as the patron and the model of your life of adoration" (St. Peter Julian Eymard). 

 

 

"As a child, Mary was presented to the Lord in the temple by her parents, Anne and Joachim. Mary gave herself completely to do the Father's will. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the womb of the Virgin Mary became the first tabernacle of adoration for Christ the King!" (From our November 2003 "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" newsletter.  The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section of our website at www.ACFP2000.com).

 

  "Christian piety has rejoiced to learn from the Book of Acts that Mary was present at the first gatherings of the faithful, when they broke bread together as brothers and spent long hours in prayer.  And modern art has often portrayed the heavenly Mother in the act of receiving from the hand of St. John, the beloved disciple, the Communion of the Body and Blood of her Son . . . .  When we say that in the Eucharist we have the Son and in Mary we have his Mother, have we not said all?" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).

The Cross is the food of Hope.

 

Mother Teresa -

Am I convinced of Christ's love for me and mine for Him? This conviction is like sunlight which makes the sap of life rise and the buds of sanctity bloom. This conviction is the rock on which sanctity is built.
What must we do to get this conviction?
We must know Jesus, love Jesus, serve Jesus.
I must not attempt to control God's actions; I must not count the stages in the journey He would have me make. I ask Him to make a saint of me, yet I must leave to Him the choice of that saintliness itself and still more the choice of the means which lead to it.

 Everything of you should be sweetness and peace

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

If you suffer with resignation in doing His will, you do not offend Him but love Him. And your heart will find great comfort in remembering that in your hour of pain Jesus Himself suffers in you and for you. He did not abandon you when you fled from Him; why should He abandon you now that you are proving your love for Him by the martyrdom of your soul? (GF, 174).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

America is spoiled because she expects too much!

"The discontent is far greater among the over-privileged than the underprivileged. The rich need the psychoanalysts more than the poor. Few European minds cracked under two wars. Many American minds have. The first learned not to expect anything. This lesson America has yet to learn."

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

 

Second Day

Today bring to me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind.       (1212)

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that we may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

     The fountain of God's love
     Dwells in pure hearts,
     Bathed in the Sea of Mercy
     Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company [of chosen ones] in Your vineyard-upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.      (1213)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 18 - BE THANKFUL IN FRONT OF THE CROSS

Our Lady reminds us of her message of March 13th, and speaks of gratitude:

"Dear Children, remember the four things you have to do during Lent. Tonight when you go home, I ask you to be thankful in front of the cross for all that you fell you should be grateful for; thank Jesus for what you have. My Son will hear you (Visionary Prayer Group February 13, 1989).

Second Corinthians also speaks of gratitude:

Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God (2 Cor 4:15)

Reflection:

The Virgin speaks many times of gratitude in her messages, for it is a form of love of God. Poets and writers have searched for words beautiful enough to express their thanks for such great gifts, but none have succeeded so well as St. Francis of Assisi. May his Canticle of the Sun be our own hymn of thanksgiving today:

O most high, almighty Lord God, To You belong praise, glory, honor and all Blessings. Praise to my Lord God with all his creatures, And especially our brother the sun, who brings Us the day and who brings us the light; Fair is he who shines with such great splendor;

O Lord, he signifies You to us! Praise to my Lord for our sister the moon and For the stars. Which he has set clear and lovely in heaven. Praise to my Lord for all those who pardon One another for his love' s sake, And who endure weakness and tribulation; Blessed are they who peaceably shall endure; For You, O God, shall give them a crown! Praise to my Lord for our sister, the death Of the body from which no man escapes. Woe to him who dies in mortal sin! Blessed are they who are found walking in Your most holy will, For the second death shall have no power To do them harm. Praise and bless the Lord and give him thanks, And serve him with great humility.

Application:

Offer one decade of your rosary today simply in thanksgiving to God For all his gifts. In addition, review Our Lady's message of March 13th, as she has requested today.

 

 

Mother Teresa -

The aim of taking a retreat is to advance in the knowledge and love of God, to purify ourselves, and to reform and transform our lives according to the life of our model, Jesus Christ.
It is not so much a looking back on the achievements and failures of the past, as a looking forward to a more generous imitation of our Lord Himself.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Always love suffering, which, besides being the work of Divine Wisdom, reveals the work of His love to us even more (ASN, 43).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Without Faith it's all psychobabble!

"When religion is strong, it purges the unconscious mind of all those fears and anxieties, those worries and psychoses which psychoanalysis tries to expunge in the soul without faith."

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

 

Eighth Day

Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.     (1226)

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised.

     From that terrible heat of the cleansing fire
     Rises a plaint to Your mercy,
     And they receive comfort, refreshment, relief
     In the stream of mingled Blood and Water.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion.       (1227)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 24 - THE VIGIL OF THE ANNUNCIATION

On this vigil in 1985 Our Lady said:

"Today I invite all of you to confession, even if you have already gone a few days ago. I wish that you would live my feast in your hearts. You are not able to, if you do not abandon yourselves completely to the Lord, It is for this reason that I call you to reconciliation with the Lord". (First Years March 24, 1985).

This reconciliation to God is possible because of the redeeming sacrifice of Christ on Calvary:

For in (Christ) all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross. And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him… (Col 1:19-22).

Reflection:

On this vigil of the Annunciation, Our Lady says that, "I wish that you would live my feast in your hearts." This may sound puzzling until we reflect on the core message of the Annunciation, which is Mary's complete abandonment to God's will, signified by her unequivocal yes to all he asked of her. Thus the Blessed Mother wishes us to experience this same surrender to God in our own hearts, this same yes to God that consecrates us entirely to him. Thus her feast day, her yes, is experienced within us.

The fruit of this abandonment in our lives is a profound trust and confidence in the Lord, the same trust that Mary possessed. She longs to share it with us.

The one obstacle is sin, and so it follows that Our Lady would end her message by saying, "Therefore, I call all of you to reconciliation with God." Our reading from St. Paul resounds with the same advice. Mary invites everyone to confession, where our sins are forgiven and can no longer separate us from God. We can therefore abandon ourselves to the Lord like trusting children, joining our yes to God with that of hers.

Application:

If you have not received the sacrament of reconciliation within the last month, make a firm commitment to do so this week, as Our Lady urges in her message today.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 20 - Pray before the crucifix

 

 St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Spouse of the Bl.
Virgin Mary:


"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector.  As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus, we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love.  He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues.  Leading us to Jesus, he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.'  How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . .  Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic"  (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

"Jesus seems continually to exclaim from the altar: Come to me, all you who work hard and who carry heavy burdens and I will refresh you (Matthew 11:28).
Come, He says, come you who are poor; come, you who are infirm; come, you who are afflicted; come, you who are just and you who are sinners, and you shall find in me a remedy for all your losses and afflictions.  This is the desire of Jesus Christ: to console every person who calls upon Him" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).

 

"O Jesus of the Eucharist!  O consecrated Host!  O envied Monstrance!  O blessed Ciborium, beloved of my heart!  The Tabernacle is my Treasure and, far or near, my eyes never lose sight of it, for it contains the God of Love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida).

The Cross is that solid wood that preserves and maintains always enkindled the fire of Charity.

 

Mother Teresa -

To be able to do all these, pray lovingly like children, with an earnest desire to love much and make loved the Love that is not loved.

 Food without substance, is worth nothing. They swell the stomach. So are works without an internal spirit and without the right intention. Emptied of Divine Substance, they are worth nothing and serve only to inflate the person, who receives more harm than good.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Keep strongly and constantly united to God, consecrating all your affections, torments, and your entire self to Him, patiently awaiting the return of that beautiful sun, whenever the Spouse is pleased to visit you through trials of aridity, desolation and darkness of spirit (Letters III, p. 674.)

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

No mystery as to why we have missed the Mystery

"When minds abandon their concern about final destiny, they substitute for the mystery of what happens after death, the mystery of how someone was murdered. But mystery there must be."

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

Novena - http://www.marian.org/divinemercy/novena.html

 

THIRD DAY

"Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.


FOURTH DAY

"Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD* AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy."

Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages.

Amen.

*Our Lord's original words here were "the pagans." Since the pontificate of Pope John XXIII, the Church has seen fit to replace this term with clearer and more appropriate terminology.


FIFTH DAY

"Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,* and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion."

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

*Our Lord's original words here were "heretics and schismatics," since He spoke to Saint Faustina within the context of her times. As of the Second Vatican Council, Church authorities have seen fit not to use those designations in accordance with the explanation given in the Council's Decree on Ecumenism (n.3). Every pope since the Council has reaffirmed that usage. Saint Faustina herself, her heart always in harmony with the mind of the Church, most certainly would have agreed. When at one time, because of the decisions of her superiors and father confessor, she was not able to execute Our Lord's inspirations and orders, she declared: "I will follow Your will insofar as You will permit me to do so through Your representative. O my Jesus " I give priority to the voice of the Church over the voice with which You speak to me" (497). The Lord confirmed her action and praised her for it.

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

Mar 20  -   PRAY BEFORE THE CRUCIFIX

On this day in 1989, the Blessed Virgin said to the prayer group:

"From tonight I ask you to pray even more. Meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Pray as much as you can in front of the crucifix." (Visionary Prayer Group March 20, 1989).

1 Corinthians also speaks of the cross:

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God…For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength (1 Cor 1:18; 22-25)

Reflection:

Once Our Lady said to the seers, "If you knew how much I loved you, you would weep for joy." In much the same way, prayer before a crucifix can bring the same tears, for it is the greatest evidence of God's love in the universe.

This is the reason why Mary asks us to contemplate the wounds of Christ, for they speak so clearly of his love. Christ's entire life, and especially his passion, were one unequaled act of divine love. He would go to any extreme to win us back; he would endure any suffering to save us; he would give anything, even his life. It is hard to fathom such an all-consuming love, but the more we ponder it, the more we realize its astonishing depth. This is Mary's wish.

On the surface, the Lord's crucifixion was an abhorrent and terrifying event---a man tortured to death by degrees. But what motivated Jesus to endure the unthinkable, his intense love for us, is the key to understanding what the world calls "the folly of the cross." Yet believers know that the cross is the inscrutable wisdom of Love seeking its surest proof, its fullest expression for the sake of the beloved.

The mystery of the cross, for truly it is a mystery of the deepest currents of love, can only be comprehended through prayer, and then only by degrees. Hence Our Lady's request today.

Application:

Spend time in prayer today before a crucifix, contemplating the wounds of Christ and the love they signify for you.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 19 - Today we honor St. Joseph

 

St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Spouse of the Bl.
Virgin Mary:


"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector.  As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus, we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love.  He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues.  Leading us to Jesus, he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.' 

How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . .  Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic"  (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

"Jesus seems continually to exclaim from the altar: Come to me, all you who work hard and who carry heavy burdens and I will refresh you (Matthew 11:28).
Come, He says, come you who are poor; come, you who are infirm; come, you who are afflicted; come, you who are just and you who are sinners, and you shall find in me a remedy for all your losses and afflictions.  This is the desire of Jesus Christ: to console every person who calls upon Him" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).

The Cross is the torch of working Faith.

 

Mother Teresa -

Trust in the good God who loves us, who cares for us, who sees all, knows all, can do all things for my good and the good of souls. One thing Jesus asks of me: that I lean upon Him; that in Him alone I put complete trust; that I surrender myself to Him unreservedly. Love Jesus with a big heart.
Serve Jesus with joy and gladness of spirit, casting aside and forgetting all that troubles and worries you.

If you peal back the veil of humanity, you should see the Divinity

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us not spare ourselves on our ascent to Calvary for love He Who sacrificed Himself for love of us and let us patient, certain of our flight for Tabor (ASN, 42).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Think about what has filled our void today!

"An age without faith is an age of superstition. Religious belief is so essential to the heart that once it is cast aside, some false form is called in to fill the void. Unless the house is tenanted with goodness, seven devils worse than the first come in to dwell there."

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 19 - ST. JOSEPH, HUSBAND OF MARY

As St. Joseph is the patron of workers, it is appropriate today that we hear Our Lady's special message on this topic:

"Dear Children, always pray before your work and end it with prayer. If you do that, God will bless you and your work. These last days, you have prayed little and worked very much. Pray more. In prayer, you will find rest (Weekly Message (July 5, 1984).

In his second letter to the Thessalonians, St. Paul also takes up the theme of work:

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, and we did not eat anyone's bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you. This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to give you an example to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat (2 Thes 3:7-10)

Reflection:

Today we honor St. Joseph, the great guardian and protector of God's greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son, and Mary, our Mother. St. Bernadine of Siena, a Franciscan of the 15th century, once wrote, "In Joseph the Old Testament finds its fitting close.

He brought the noble line of patriarchs and prophets to its promised fulfillment. What God had offered as a promise to them, he held in his arms."

Joseph is also the patron saint of workers, which is the subject of our readings today, He taught the skills of carpentry to Jesus, who gave labor an intrinsic dignity. From the Vatican II document "The Church Today": "We hold that by offering his labor to God, a man becomes associated with the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who conferred an eminent dignity on labor when, at Nazareth, he worked with his own hands." In the words of Kahlil Gibran, "work is love made visible"; today we celebrate this love in the person of St. Joseph.

Application:

In her message, Our Lady calls us to "always pray before your work, and end your work with prayer." Today let us do exactly that, beginning a practice that will hopefully evolve into a habit.

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 16 - MANY LIVE IN SIN

"In the Eucharist the Church is completely united to Christ and his sacrifice, and makes her own the spirit of Mary. This truth can be understood more deeply by re-reading the Magnificat in a Eucharistic key. The Eucharist, like the Canticle of Mary, is first and foremost praise and thanksgiving. When Mary exclaims: 'My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour', she already bears Jesus in her womb. She praises God 'through' Jesus, but she also praises him 'in' Jesus and 'with' Jesus. This is itself the true 'Eucharistic attitude'" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 58).

The Cross is that beneficent water that not only purifies me, but provides the nourishment for the virtues in me. It makes them grow in me. And then it leaves me, when it brings me back to Eternal Life.

Mother Teresa -

Jesus has chosen us for Himself; we belong to Him. Let us be so convinced of this belonging that we do not allow anything, however small, to separate us from this belonging from this love.

 "The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass gives boundless honor to the Most Blessed Trinity because it represents the passion of Jesus Christ and because through the Mass we offer God the merits of Our Lord's obedience, of His sufferings and of His Precious Blood.  The whole of the heavenly court also receives an accidental joy from the Mass. 

 

Several doctors of the Church—together with St. Thomas Aquinas—tell us that, for the same reason, all the blessed in Heaven rejoice in the communion of the faithful because the Blessed Sacrament is a memorial of the passion and death of Jesus Christ, and that by means of it men share in its fruits and work out their salvation" (St. Louis de Montfort).

 

You must be attentive to everything that may not be sweetness and peace if you do not want to dishonor me.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Suffering has been loved joyfully by great souls. It is the auxiliary of creation after the unfortunate fall; it is a most powerful lever to raise man up again, it is the helping hand of Infinite Love for our regeneration (ASN, 42).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

God helps those who help themselves for His sake

"Contentment is not inconsistent with our endeavor to have our condition improved. We do everything we can, as if all depended on us, but we trust in God as if everything depended on Him."

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

 

Jesus, I trust in You.

Novena to The Divine Mercy

which Jesus instructed me to write down and make before the Feast of Mercy. It begins on Good Friday.

I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw from them strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death.

On each day you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls, and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the house of My Father. You will do this in this life and in the next. I will deny nothing to any soul whom you will bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls.

I answered, "Jesus, I do not know how to make this novena or which souls to bring first into Your Most Compassionate Heart." Jesus replied that He would tell me which souls to bring each day into His Heart.     (1209)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 16  -  MANY LIVE IN SIN

The visionaries say that the Virgin is usually happy when she appears to them, but in giving today's message she was in tears:

"There are so many men who live in sin. Here there are likewise among you some people who have offended my heart. Pray and fast for them (Locution Jelena & Mirajana March 21, 1984).

Reflection: Although sin is a tragic reality of our world, as the Gospa reminds us today, so is the limitless mercy and forgiveness of God, who has reconciled us to himself through the Cross.

As St. John writes:

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world (1 Jn2:1-2).

The grace of God's forgiveness is freely given to all who acknowledge their sin with a repentant heart; indeed, the church gives us the season of Lent for this very purpose. From Psalm 51, the Prayer of Repentance:

Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; In the greatness of your compassion wipe out My offense. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt And of my sin cleanse me. For I acknowledge my offense, And my sin is before me always: "Against you only have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight" That you may be justified in your sentence, Vindicated when you condemn. A clean heart create for me, O God, And a steadfast spirit renew within me. ---Psalm 51:1-6; 12 (NAB)

Repentance always touches the heart of God, and he embraces us with tender forgiveness. The Blessed Mother not only calls us personally to repentance today, but asks us to pray and fast for the many souls who are hardened in sin. In fact, throughout her many messages this is a major theme. In engaging in this ministry of prayer for the conversion of sinners, we are going that extra mile in living Our Lady's messages.

Application:

Today offer the Sorrowful Mysteries for the conversion of sinners, and perhaps your fasting or other sacrifice on Friday.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 15 - Read the Bible

 

"When I am before the Tabernacle, I can say only one thing to Our Lord: 'My God, you know that I love you.'  And I feel my prayer does not tire Jesus; knowing the helplessness of His poor little spouse, He is content with her good will" (St. Therese, The Little Flower).

The Cross is the noble seat of uncreated Wisdom that teaches me the most high doctrines, subtle and sublime. Therefore, the Cross alone will unveil to me the most secret mysteries, the most hidden things, the most perfect perfection, hidden to the most learned and wise of the world.

 

Mother Teresa -

Love begins at home.
Everything depends on how we love each other. Do not be afraid to love until it hurts, for this is how Jesus loved.

 

Each suffering that the soul endures, is one more dominion which she attains over herself.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

He who begins to love, must be ready to suffer (CE, 25).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The greater our love for God, the less our needs in this world

"Contentment is based on the idea that `our sufficiency is not from ourselves but from God.' The soul does not desire or lack more than what God has supplied him. His will suits his state after he has exhausted his resources and his desire does not exceed his power. Hence everything that happens is judged to be as good and worthy of Divine appointment. As Socrates observed: `He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things.'"

 

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

 

O Lord, my Love, I thank You for this day on which You have allowed me to draw a wealth of graces from the fountain of Your unfathomable mercy. O Jesus, not only today, but at every moment, I draw from Your unfathomable mercy everything that the soul and body could want.       (1178)

Jesus. From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls. The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls. Speak to the whole world about My mercy.       (1190)

 

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 15  -  READ THE BIBLE

The Queen of Peace speaks of scripture to the prayer group:

I ask you again to multiply your prayers to prepare yourself for Easter. Also, read the Bible, especially those passages that speak of the Passion of Jesus. Prepare yourself to look at Jesus "eye to eye". Tonight when you go home, pray in front of the cross in thanksgiving for all the graces you have received (Visionary Prayer Group March 17, 1989).

In Hebrews, Paul speaks of the power of scripture:

Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb 4:12).

Reflection:

The American poet Timothy Dwight once said: "The Bible is a window in this prison-world, through which we may look into eternity." And yet cannot enlighten or reveal God's will to us unless we read and reflect upon it, which Our Lady calls us to do today.

In Hebrews, Paul speaks of scripture as living, life-changing, and dynamic. God's word reveals who we are and the purpose of life. It penetrates the core of our moral and spiritual life; it helps us to discern what is within us, both good and bad.

As the message of scripture becomes a part of us, it will affect our lifestyle, character, and decisions. It will begin to shape our lives.

Application:

Continue to make sacred scripture a part of your daily life. As Our Lady requests of us for Lent, begin to read the narratives of Christ's Passion, beginning today with Matthew 26:36 –27:61. The others are Mark 14:32—15:47; Luke 22:39—23:56; and John 18:1—19:42.

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


“Dear friends,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN FOR THE COMING PLAGUES


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

(Adapted from the Father of All Mankind Apostolate).


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

"I bless you all"


Dear Friends,


The Entry into Jerusalem


...Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tethered, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them here to me. And if anyone should say anything to you, reply, 'The master has need of them.' Then he will send them at once." This happened so that what had been spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled: "Say to daughter Zion, behold, your king comes to you, meek and riding on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden."


The disciples went and did as Jesus had ordered them. They brought the ass and the colt and laid their cloaks over them, and he sat upon them. The very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road.


The crowds preceding him and those following kept crying out and saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest." And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was shaken and asked, "Who is this?" And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee." (Matthew 21:1-11)


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


"Every year the Church celebrates My solemn entry into Jerusalem on an ass and this day is called Palm Sunday. I entered Jerusalem as their King and many people were present to welcome Me. The people in the crowd carried palm branches in their hand and they sang the song "Hosanna to the Son of David."


This entry into Jerusalem shows you that I am the Lord, the Messiah, entering the city of God. This is the place where I will offer My great sacrifice for the salvation of all the people of the world for which I was born. In a few days I will carry My cross through this city and this cross is the symbol of all the sins of the world. I will be nailed to it in great suffering for all to see and upon the cross I will offer to My Heavenly Father the oblation that takes away the sins of the world. This supreme act of love will change the world forever.


I call you all to join Me during these days as I live My last days on earth. Join the crowds at My entry into Jerusalem and during the way of the cross. I bless you all."

"Give your 'yes' to Me today"


Dear Friends,


The Healing of the Two Blind Men


As they left Jericho, a great crowd followed Jesus . Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, "Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!" The crowd warned them to be silent, but they called out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!" Jesus stopped and called them and said, "What do you want me to do for you?" They answered him, "Lord, let our eyes be opened." Moved with pity, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight, and followed him. (Matthew 20:29-34)


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


"My friends, sickness, suffering and death do not come from God. They are the result of sin. The Father created Adam and Eve in such a way that they would never suffer any sickness and they would not die. It is because of their horrible sin against the Father that all these things came to be.


I always have pity on all the people who suffer in any way. When I saw these two blind men shouting for help one day as we were leaving Jericho, I asked them what they wanted. They asked to be able to see. I placed My hand on their eyes and immediately they were healed. It was a great joy for Me to see them so happy once their sight was restored. They were men of faith. The crowd who saw this miracle was touched indeed. In showing them this great power, they would come to accept that I was the Messiah, the Savior, who had come into the world to save them.


As you know, I used suffering and death as the means to save you from your sins and to open heaven for you. In My Passion, which you will celebrate soon, I was able to offer Myself in sacrifice to the Father for your redemption. Come now and accept Me as your Savior and My blood will wash you clean. You will be renewed by the Holy Spirit and become the beloved of the Father. Give your 'yes' to Me today and every day."

"I want you with Me"


Dear Friends,


The Workers in the Vineyard


"The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out about nine o'clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and he said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just.'


So they went off. He went out again around noon, and around three o'clock, and did likewise. Going out about five o'clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?'


They answered, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard.' When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Summon the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and ending with the first.' When those who had started about five o'clock came, each received the usual daily wage.


So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, but each of them also got the usual wage. And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner, saying, "These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us.' He said to one of them in reply, 'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?


Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? Am I not free to do as I wish with my money? ... Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last." (Matthew 20:1-16)


"All the people of the world are asked to enter My Kingdom. Some enter as babies, others as youth, still others as adult and even some during their last days on earth. You are never too late to enter the Kingdom. Now is the appropriate time for you to be a full member of My Kingdom. This is what the story of the workers in the vineyard is all about.


You enter the Kingdom during your years on earth and you receive your reward when you enter heaven. All those who enter heaven receive the same reward, which is everlasting happiness in heaven.


There are different degrees of happiness but all are filled to the brim once they are in heaven. In heaven you see the Father, the Holy Spirit and I, the Son, together with My Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints. There in this holy place you are filled with joy forever. In heaven, there is no sickness, injury, tiredness, hunger or thirst. There is no death and nothing negative.


Everything is positive and full of light. Heaven is the home for which the Father has created you. Do not let the things of this world turn you away from your primary goal but keep it always before you. My grace is always there ready for you if you ask for it. I want you with Me."

"You need Me"


Dear Friends,


The Rich Young Man


Now someone approached Jesus and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." He asked him, "Which ones?"


And Jesus replied, "You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself." The young man said to him, "All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?"


Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 19:16-23)


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


"It is very difficult for rich people to enter heaven because they are attached to their possessions. Many of them want to follow the commandments and would like to follow Me but they cannot get rid of their riches. They believe they need their possessions for their security. They do not realize that what they need is strong faith and the graces to follow Me on earth and to be united with Me forever in heaven.


It is the same for so many people that are addicted to all kinds of things. How difficult it is for an alcoholic or a drug addict to stop taking liquor or drugs! It is the same for those who smoke; even if they need to stop smoking because it is ruining their health, they do not have the strength to do so.


However, if they believe in Me and ask Me for the help they need with their addiction, I will give them the grace to stop and get rid of the problem. If their faith is weak, they need to see a person of great faith who can pray for them to receive the grace they need to liberate them.


I am calling you all, My brothers and sisters, to get rid of all that is blocking your relationship with Me. If you turn to Me, I will help you so that your faith may be strong and our relationship will grow every day. You need Me if you want success in your life and to reach heaven one day. Come and I will give you My peace and My love."

"May families come together for prayers every day"


Dear Friends,


A Brother Who Sins


Jesus said, "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.


Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:15-20)


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


"My dear brothers and sisters, nothing destroys a relationship with someone more thoroughly than sinning against that person. By doing this you hurt that person in a very deep way. What is needed now is reconciliation so that this sin can be forgotten. I know how horrible sin is as it caused Me great suffering and at the end death on the cross. Yet I forgave all those who killed Me while hanging on the cross. If one should sin against you I want you to follow My example and forgive from the heart.


You have the sacrament of My mercy and you should take advantage of this sacrament to reconcile yourself with your Father in heaven and all your brothers and sisters. When the priest in the name of the Church absolves your sins, they are absolved and completely gone. It is because of My Passion and Death on the cross that great mercy flows from the Father to you. Be truly sorry for all your sins and come follow Me.


I call you all to pray together. When two or three are gathered in My name, I am there in their midst. O may families come together for prayers every day and your home will be truly blessed. Love, peace and joy will reign in that home. I bless you all."


Father Melvin


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 19 - Today we honor St. Joseph


St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Spouse of the Bl. Virgin Mary:


"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector. As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus , we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love. He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues. Leading us to Jesus , he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.'


How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . . Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).


"Jesus seems continually to exclaim from the altar: Come to me, all you who work hard and who carry heavy burdens and I will refresh you (Matthew 11:28). Come, He says, come you who are poor; come, you who are infirm; come, you who are afflicted; come, you who are just and you who are sinners, and you shall find in me a remedy for all your losses and afflictions. This is the desire of Jesus Christ: to console every person who calls upon Him" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).


The Cross is the torch of working Faith.


Mother Teresa - Trust in the good God who loves us, who cares for us, who sees all, knows all, can do all things for my good and the good of souls. One thing Jesus asks of me: that I lean upon Him; that in Him alone I put complete trust; that I surrender myself to Him unreservedly. Love Jesus with a big heart. Serve Jesus with joy and gladness of spirit, casting aside and forgetting all that troubles and worries you.


If you peal back the veil of humanity, you should see the Divinity


Meditations by Padre Pio - Let us not spare ourselves on our ascent to Calvary for love He Who sacrificed Himself for love of us and let us patient, certain of our flight for Tabor (ASN, 42).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen Think about what has filled our void today!


"An age without faith is an age of superstition. Religious belief is so essential to the heart that once it is cast aside, some false form is called in to fill the void. Unless the house is tenanted with goodness, seven devils worse than the first come in to dwell there."


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.


Mar 19 - ST. JOSEPH, HUSBAND OF MARY


As St. Joseph is the patron of workers, it is appropriate today that we hear Our Lady's special message on this topic:


"Dear Children, always pray before your work and end it with prayer. If you do that, God will bless you and your work. These last days, you have prayed little and worked very much. Pray more. In prayer, you will find rest (Weekly Message (July 5, 1984).


In his second letter to the Thessalonians, St. Paul also takes up the theme of work:


For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, and we did not eat anyone's bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you.


This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to give you an example to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat (2 Thes 3:7-10)


Reflection:


Today we honor St. Joseph, the great guardian and protector of God's greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son, and Mary, our Mother. St. Bernadine of Siena, a Franciscan of the 15th century, once wrote, "In Joseph the Old Testament finds its fitting close.


He brought the noble line of patriarchs and prophets to its promised fulfillment. What God had offered as a promise to them, he held in his arms."


Joseph is also the patron saint of workers, which is the subject of our readings today, He taught the skills of carpentry to Jesus , who gave labor an intrinsic dignity. From the Vatican II document "The Church Today": "We hold that by offering his labor to God, a man becomes associated with the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who conferred an eminent dignity on labor when, at Nazareth, he worked with his own hands." In the words of Kahlil Gibran, "work is love made visible"; today we celebrate this love in the person of St. Joseph.


Application:


In her message, Our Lady calls us to "always pray before your work, and end your work with prayer." Today let us do exactly that, beginning a practice that will hopefully evolve into a habit.


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 18 - Be thankful in front of the cross


"Among the graces which Jesus gave to His foster-father—and He flooded him with the graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament. That is the one we must ask of St. Joseph. Have confidence, strong confidence in him. Take him as the patron and the model of your life of adoration" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).


"Christian piety has rejoiced to learn from the Book of Acts that Mary was present at the first gatherings of the faithful, when they broke bread together as brothers and spent long hours in prayer. And modern art has often portrayed the heavenly Mother in the act of receiving from the hand of St. John, the beloved disciple, the Communion of the Body and Blood of her Son . . . . When we say that in the Eucharist we have the Son and in Mary we have his Mother, have we not said all?" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).


The Cross is the food of Hope.


Mother Teresa - Am I convinced of Christ's love for me and mine for Him? This conviction is like sunlight which makes the sap of life rise and the buds of sanctity bloom. This conviction is the rock on which sanctity is built.


What must we do to get this conviction? We must know Jesus , love Jesus , serve Jesus . I must not attempt to control God's actions; I must not count the stages in the journey He would have me make. I ask Him to make a saint of me, yet I must leave to Him the choice of that saintliness itself and still more the choice of the means which lead to it.


Everything of you should be sweetness and peace


Meditations by Padre Pio - If you suffer with resignation in doing His will, you do not offend Him but love Him. And your heart will find great comfort in remembering that in your hour of pain Jesus Himself suffers in you and for you. He did not abandon you when you fled from Him; why should He abandon you now that you are proving your love for Him by the martyrdom of your soul? (GF, 174).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen- America is spoiled because she expects too much!


"The discontent is far greater among the over-privileged than the underprivileged. The rich need the psychoanalysts more than the poor. Few European minds cracked under two wars. Many American minds have. The first learned not to expect anything. This lesson America has yet to learn."


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


Second Day


Today bring to me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind. (1212)


Most Merciful Jesus , from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that we may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.


The fountain of God's love Dwells in pure hearts, Bathed in the Sea of Mercy Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.


Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company [of chosen ones] in Your vineyard-upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen. (1213)


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.


Mar 18 - BE THANKFUL IN FRONT OF THE CROSS


Our Lady reminds us of her message of March 13th, and speaks of gratitude: "Dear Children, remember the four things you have to do during Lent. Tonight when you go home, I ask you to be thankful in front of the cross for all that you fell you should be grateful for; thank Jesus for what you have. My Son will hear you (Visionary Prayer Group February 13, 1989).


Second Corinthians also speaks of gratitude:Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God (2 Cor 4:15)


Reflection:


The Virgin speaks many times of gratitude in her messages, for it is a form of love of God. Poets and writers have searched for words beautiful enough to express their thanks for such great gifts, but none have succeeded so well as St. Francis of Assisi. May his Canticle of the Sun be our own hymn of thanksgiving today:


O most high, almighty Lord God, To You belong praise, glory, honor and all Blessings. Praise to my Lord God with all his creatures, And especially our brother the sun, who brings Us the day and who brings us the light; Fair is he who shines with such great splendor;


O Lord, he signifies You to us! Praise to my Lord for our sister the moon and For the stars. Which he has set clear and lovely in heaven. Praise to my Lord for all those who pardon One another for his love' s sake, And who endure weakness and tribulation; Blessed are they who peaceably shall endure; For You, O God, shall give them a crown! Praise to my Lord for our sister, the death Of the body from which no man escapes.


Woe to him who dies in mortal sin! Blessed are they who are found walking in Your most holy will, For the second death shall have no power To do them harm. Praise and bless the Lord and give him thanks, And serve him with great humility.


Application:


Offer one decade of your rosary today simply in thanksgiving to God For all his gifts. In addition, review Our Lady's message of March 13th, as she has requested today.


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 16 - MANY LIVE IN SIN


"In the Eucharist the Church is completely united to Christ and his sacrifice, and makes her own the spirit of Mary. This truth can be understood more deeply by re-reading the Magnificat in a Eucharistic key. The Eucharist, like the Canticle of Mary, is first and foremost praise and thanksgiving. When Mary exclaims: 'My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour', she already bears Jesus in her womb. She praises God 'through' Jesus , but she also praises him 'in' Jesus and 'with' Jesus . This is itself the true 'Eucharistic attitude'" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 58).


The Cross is that beneficent water that not only purifies me, but provides the nourishment for the virtues in me. It makes them grow in me. And then it leaves me, when it brings me back to Eternal Life.


Mother Teresa - Jesus has chosen us for Himself; we belong to Him. Let us be so convinced of this belonging that we do not allow anything, however small, to separate us from this belonging from this love.


"The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass gives boundless honor to the Most Blessed Trinity because it represents the passion of Jesus Christ and because through the Mass we offer God the merits of Our Lord's obedience, of His sufferings and of His Precious Blood. The whole of the heavenly court also receives an accidental joy from the Mass.


Several doctors of the Church—together with St. Thomas Aquinas—tell us that, for the same reason, all the blessed in Heaven rejoice in the communion of the faithful because the Blessed Sacrament is a memorial of the passion and death of Jesus Christ, and that by means of it men share in its fruits and work out their salvation" (St. Louis de Montfort).


You must be attentive to everything that may not be sweetness and peace if you do not want to dishonor me. Meditations by Padre Pio - Suffering has been loved joyfully by great souls. It is the auxiliary of creation after the unfortunate fall; it is a most powerful lever to raise man up again, it is the helping hand of Infinite Love for our regeneration (ASN, 42).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen- God helps those who help themselves for His sake "Contentment is not inconsistent with our endeavor to have our condition improved. We do everything we can, as if all depended on us, but we trust in God as if everything depended on Him."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus , I trust in You.


Novena to The Divine Mercy


which Jesus instructed me to write down and make before the Feast of Mercy. It begins on Good Friday.


I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw from them strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death.


On each day you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls, and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the house of My Father. You will do this in this life and in the next. I will deny nothing to any soul whom you will bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls.


I answered, "Jesus , I do not know how to make this novena or which souls to bring first into Your Most Compassionate Heart." Jesus replied that He would tell me which souls to bring each day into His Heart. (1209)


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.


Mar 16 - MANY LIVE IN SIN


The visionaries say that the Virgin is usually happy when she appears to them, but in giving today's message she was in tears:


"There are so many men who live in sin. Here there are likewise among you some people who have offended my heart. Pray and fast for them (Locution Jelena & Mirajana March 21, 1984).


Reflection: Although sin is a tragic reality of our world, as the Gospa reminds us today, so is the limitless mercy and forgiveness of God, who has reconciled us to himself through the Cross.


As St. John writes:


My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world (1 Jn2:1-2).


The grace of God's forgiveness is freely given to all who acknowledge their sin with a repentant heart; indeed, the church gives us the season of Lent for this very purpose. From Psalm 51, the Prayer of Repentance:


Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; In the greatness of your compassion wipe out My offense. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt And of my sin cleanse me. For I acknowledge my offense, And my sin is before me always: "Against you only have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight" That you may be justified in your sentence, Vindicated when you condemn. A clean heart create for me, O God, And a steadfast spirit renew within me. ---Psalm 51:1-6; 12 (NAB)


Repentance always touches the heart of God, and he embraces us with tender forgiveness. The Blessed Mother not only calls us personally to repentance today, but asks us to pray and fast for the many souls who are hardened in sin. In fact, throughout her many messages this is a major theme. In engaging in this ministry of prayer for the conversion of sinners, we are going that extra mile in living Our Lady's messages.


Application:


Today offer the Sorrowful Mysteries for the conversion of sinners, and perhaps your fasting or other sacrifice on Friday.


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 17 - ST PATRICKS DAY


"The two sacraments of the Eucharist and Penance are very closely connected. Because the Eucharist makes present the redeeming sacrifice of the cross, perpetuating it sacramentally, it naturally gives rise to a continuous need for conversion, for a personal response to the appeal made by Saint Paul to the Christians of Corinth: 'We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God'" (2 Cor 5:20). -Pope John Paul II


"The simple words of the first page of Matthew's Gospel: 'Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ' (Matt. 1:6) suffice for me to establish the fundamental principle of all the great theological teaching which illustrates the connection between the Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).


The Cross is that celestial dew, that preserves and beautifies in me the beautiful lily of Purity.


Mother Teresa - What is our spiritual life? A love union with Jesus , in which the divine and the human give themselves completely to one another.


One who speaks, who deals with things even of God in ways that are not sweet and peaceful, is a sign that he does not have his passions in order


Meditations by Padre Pio - I truly feel my heart bursting from my breast on hearing of your suffering. What wouldn't I do to see you relieved of it. But why are you so anxious? Why are you so restless? Come on, my dear daughter, I have never seen Jesus grant you so many jewels as He does now. I have never seen you so dear to Jesus as you are now. So why do you tremble and fear? Your fear and trembling is similar to that of a child in the arms of its mother. So your fear is useless and silly.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen- We're more blessed than we think!


"The talents we have must be put to work, but if they yield only a certain return, we do not murmur because the return is not greater. When we really examine our consciences we have to admit that we have received more than we morally deserved!"


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


First Day


Today, bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.(1210)


Most Merciful Jesus , whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from it. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.


Oh omnipotence of Divine Mercy, Salvation of sinful people, You are a sea of mercy and compassion; You aid those who entreat You with humility.


Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus . For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen. (1211)


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.


Mar 17 - ST. PATRICK'S DAY


Today Our Lady speaks to us of reflecting the light of Christ:


"Dear Children, I invite you to decide whether or not you want to live the messages which I give you. I wish that you live and actively convey my messages to others.


In a very particular way, dear children, I wish that all of you become a reflection of Jesus , and bear a light to all, that all of you will testify to the light.


Dear children, you are not called to darkness, but to light. So be a light, by the way you live your life. (Weekly Message June 6th, 1986).


In the gospel of Matthew, we see Christ giving an identical message, in different words, to his followers: You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, it gives light to all the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven (Mt.5:14-16).


Reflection:


St. Patrick was a light of love and hope to the people of Ireland, a missionary of rare courage and holiness. In the same way, we are to be light to others, "the reflection of Jesus ," Our Lady says, «which will enlighten this unfaithful world walking in darkness."


Perhaps we spread the messages of Medjugorje most effectively by living them, Others are attracted to the peace and love they perceive in us and wish to share in it themselves. This is a "ministry of attraction" which the Blessed Virgin has charged us with: "I wish all of you to be light for everyone, and that you give witness to the light."


Example is powerful. There is a saying that "faith is caught, not taught," which was undoubtedly the case in the early church. Despite the constant persecution and murder of Christians, the new faith grew at an amazing pace. The reason? People wanted the hope and love they saw in the lives of Jesus ' followers, and would risk everything to possess it.


The writer Thoreau once said, "If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see. Let them see." On this Feast of St. Patrick, a shining light to the Irish, the Virgin calls us as well to "live the light with your own life."


Application:


In prayer today, reflect on the following: If your country was occupied by an enemy force and all Christians were tried and imprisoned, would the courts find any evidence to convict you? How might your faith shine forth more courageously?

The Feast of the Triumph of the Cross


My dear little children, praised be Jesus !


Little ones, you must not be confused by what is unfolding in the time of this current age. Know that all those to whom I have spoken in the past are real and are within my most Immaculate Heart.


If you look at what is happening today, it is easy to lean towards this new way, being confused and not knowing what is real, what is the Truth, or how to accomplish it. God has already revealed in the past what is to unfold; but through impatience and sin, there are many people who have chosen to walk away, to seek other fulfillments, and to hear other words of encouragement.


Be very careful, because much of what is being said today in other areas is deception, and many are being deceived. The most important thing that you can do is to remain faithful to the Church and the sacraments, to yourself and to your prayer life and to encourage yourself to be clean of vices, to challenge yourself to grow, and to forgive yourself so that you can help others. Be very close to God!


Remember: my Son was well-known, loved and praised. He was a great prophet. He was the Son of the Living God; and in the next moment He was hated, beaten, spat upon, and blasphemed; and then He brutally endured a crucifixion given to the worst of criminals.


So, although the world in the beginning perceived my Son to be good, later the world was deceived; and through that deception they crucified Him. Then God the Father split the earth, and those who blasphemed Him and those who were so righteous in the church were faced with the Truth.


It happened in Noah’s time; it happened in my Son’s time, and it continues to happen. Something begins as good, and people rally to pray to God and thank Him; and then the cross comes, and they blaspheme Him. So too with the prophets of the past and now!


They are judged and crucified by those who are self-righteous and all-knowing and very presumptuous of their own salvation. And once again the Church happens to be the leading hand with the condemnation and the degradation of good character.


But the Truth will come with the Triumph of His Cross, as it did in the past and all the way through to current times. Those of you who have been devoted and loving and not presumptuous of your final fate, but humble and prayerful, and vigilant, will be able to welcome in a new era, fully trusting in God Who is all-merciful and all-glorious! What a great award for those who truly have ears to hear and eyes to see what is happening around you!


As your Mother, I am here! I have never left, and I am here to stay, protecting and guiding you and, yes, always challenging you so that you can be like Him.


Peace to you. Thank you for accepting a splinter of His Cross; and in that one splinter look how fragile you are, and look what He endured for you.


Peace (fading whisper).


Message Thru Marie - March 12, 2010


Mar 12 , 7:20 am, luminous mysteries (this am, it shouldn't been sorrowful but I had been led to do luminous instead thinking it was only thurs - though i did the sorrowful mysteries at work)


Jesus : The people of this nation (Philippines) delights my Father so. They move always as the Spirit calls them. They move even when they do not have the means. Their faith moves and guides them.


Time is so short now, my daughter. Tell X that the cross they built shall be a means to illuminate souls . The soul has a journey to take and that which they built is symbolic of the journey of the soul. Once a soul, makes the journey, I shall carry it to my Heart. Once there I shall flood it with my illuminating life. I shall seal these souls and they shall be mine - those who consecrate all to me.


Any journey you take is an immersion of sorts. Since time immemorial, water has been the symbol used to bless this journey. Immerse the soul in my living water. It shall never thirst.


Immerse the soul in my living water. I shall free it from bondage.


Immerse the soul completely in my living water- and watch the transformation - it will astound creation - that I shall accelerate this soul's growth and lift it up and illuminate it.


Then the blood that flows in my Heart shall be poured upon my precious ones and enliven them.


They shall be born in spirit.


They will no longer be the same person that began the journey for I will transform them as i transformed water into wine.


Tell this to my precious XXX..


God bless. my written notes show the words to have expanded in size roughly as I chose here...hence I had to enlarge it...


Message Thru Marie - March 13, 2010


this message was very powerful but also very personal. I had a cleansing session and my tears poured out non stop at least maybe easily one hour long... hence allow me to keep my part of the message private first. I had kept some guilt hidden for so long and it was cracked open and out came all the pent up pains/hurts/guilt etc etc...wow...


Mar 13 9:30 am,


Jesus : You see , my precious daugter - I had to crack you open and show you the guilt you held on for so long.


I led you here - every step of the way so you would know that I always take care of my own.


You had kept this guilt deep within I showed you your fears - (Yes, I did not even utter it. I keep my reply private for now)


Jesus : I tell you, everyone is like you. You are blind to that which keeps you from being completely transformed by my overflowing grace.


I peeled the layers away, so you could see why or what kept you from accepting my total forgiveness.


Your guilt was so tightly wrapping you so I could not pour this light that could transform you completely.


You have been led here - so that others would also become led to this point. Always it is your choice to hold on to the guilt or let it go and let forgiveness enter.


NoW I bless you in the name of the Father and I bless you with my body and blood and I bless you in the name of the Holy Spirit untied to my Mother's immaculate heart.


Go now in peace to love and serve the lord.


GOD BLESS!!!


I would just like to share part of the reason I refused total forgiveness was the guilt tied to my feeling of unworthiness in accepting forgiveness this readily, this easily when my family is still in such a divided state. But as the Lord cracked the fears, the guilt, wide open, I was able to see, so clearly, that, the same irrational fears I kept hidden, also kept me from fully accepting a forgiveness that would bring my soul deep inner peace.


Things haven't changed except inside I am much more at peace. It is hard to describe that I no longer see my family as broken rather I have this expectancy, this hope that is not based on what is rational but rather by faith alone, that my family will one day heal itself and become all the stronger from all it's been through.

Mar 7 message sunday 8:10 am glorious mysteries


Jesus : My daughter, consecration is a lifelong process because it is not easy to truly, truly surrender everything to me.


I have shown you areas in your life where you have fully left ME outside - you are in the driver's seat in that area - correct?


Me: Yes, lord. You know that when I surrender all - I do so with sincerity, meaningfully, willfully, and with desire - all my entire life, will, thought, etc. but honestly I see what you mean where I feel there is no need to surrender that part since it's very non spiritual aspect, I am still 'controlling' that part - ex: financial management of affairs.


But lord, you did not marry, I have 3 kids, you did not depend on material things as much as I do to raise my family. Lastly, I recall you never touched money - the tax you had to pay - you asked one of your apostles to retrieve the coin from the belly of a fish.


I guess since we diverge - your earthly life and my life- in this way, I feel I've had to be creative and resourceful - in maximizing my financial status for the benefit of raising my family...


Jesus : I do not ask anything from you. I come to you where you are at. I come to bring you true peace and life.


My life on earth is the WAY to bring you true peace and life.


Do not think I do not understand you that I did not raise a family of my own. I in fact called you, all of you, to be members of My Family. I wish to lead you all back to the Father.


Guard yourself against too much attachment to monetary things. I know you are simple and do not have that obsession with creating an empire... I know your heart.


And yes, to obtain My Peace I ask of you total surrender to ME, obedience to the will of the Father, embracing your cross, going to my Mother, imitating her virtues.


You can do all this from where you are


in your life now...I do not ask anything from you but your total surrender of self.


I only want to gift you my peace. I cannot do this when a person holds on to something more than me.


In this season of lent I continue to ask you to mortify your senses... so that your spiritual senses can be all the stronger. Examine now the areas in your life that need more spiritual spring cleaning.


Ask my help, I give it to you willingly. I love you. I bless you. Continue with your consecration.


Me: Thank you Lord. I know you are teaching me so many things. Be patient with me. I can be stubborn but I pray my heart is in the right way.


You told me I can be obedient to you from where I am. For ex, as a mother of 3, guiding them towards you. I can also, in my work, practice virtues that will lead my fellow co workers to you.


I can, by leading a simple lifestyle, by my words, my little acts of goodness here and there, lead others to you.


Jesus : I know the 'flow' is now strong and you feel inadequate in expressing it all on paper. (true!)


When it becomes too strong, just be still. Stay in my peace. I shall lead your pen to the very heart of the ideas in my heart.


Worry not. You worry too much!


Enjoy your day!

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


I GREET YOU WITH GREAT TENDERNESS AND I WELCOME YOU INTO MY HEART. MY HEART IS YOUR REFUGE AND IT IS ALWAYS READY TO RECEIVE YOU.


TODAY YOU KEEP HOLY THE LORD'S DAY. YOU GIVE YOUR HEARTS OVER TO PRAYER AND REST. THIS IS SO NECESSARY IN A WORLD THAT DOES NOT PRAY AND DOES NOT REST. YOU MY CHILDREN ARE BUT FEW WHO KEEP THIS COMMANDMENT.


IT IS A DIFFICULT TIME NOW. YOU ARE CHALLENGED BY MANY PRIESTS WHO HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA. BE AWARE OF THOSE WHO DO NOT LIVE IN THE TRUTH, AND AGAIN I SAY TO YOU, SEEK OUT THOSE HOLY PRIESTS WHO LIVE IN THE TRUTH AND DEFEND IT. YOU TOO MUST DEFEND THE TRUTH. EVIL IS SUBTLE AND HAS MUCH PATIENCE, SO BE CONCERNED WITH ALL THOSE THINGS THAT DISRUPT OR CORRUPT THE TRUTH. REMEMBER THAT THE LITTLE THINGS OFTEN ARE PASSED OVER OR IGNORED BY THE FAITHFUL, BUT IT IS THE SMALL SEEMINGLY UNIMPORTANT THINGS THAT DRAW SOULS FROM THE TRUTHS. COURAGE MUST BE WORN BY MY BELOVED PRIESTS AND MY LITTLE CHILDREN. LET THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEARTS, HE WILL WARN YOU WITH HIS OWN SUBTLENESS. HE SHALL RAISE IN YOU AN UNEASINESS THAT SHALL WARN YOU. BE AWAKE, BE ALERT. BE COURAGEOUS.


LITTLE CHILDREN, I WANT TO ONCE MORE EXPRESS TO YOU MY DEEPEST LOVE. I AM ALWAYS YOUR MOTHER, I THEREFORE SHALL ALWAYS HELP YOU ATTAIN TO THE FULLEST THE HOLY WILL OF GOD. YOU ARE RECIPIENTS OF MUCH GRACE, BE AWARE AND BE GRATEFUL.


I GIVE TO EACH OF YOU A SIMPLE MATERNAL BLESSING, BUT MY BELOVED PRIEST-SONS SHALL GIVE TO YOU THE BLESSING OF CHRIST. LET THIS BLESSING DRAW YOU CLOSER TO GOD AND MAY YOU PRAISE AND THANK HIM - NOW AND FOREVER.

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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

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!

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


Dear friends,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

"You need Me"


Dear Friends,


The Rich Young Man


Now someone approached Jesus and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." He asked him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, "You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself."


The young man said to him, "All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 19:16-23)

 


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


"It is very difficult for rich people to enter heaven because they are attached to their possessions. Many of them want to follow the commandments and would like to follow Me but they cannot get rid of their riches.


They believe they need their possessions for their security. They do not realize that what they need is strong faith and the graces to follow Me on earth and to be united with Me forever in heaven.


It is the same for so many people that are addicted to all kinds of things. How difficult it is for an alcoholic or a drug addict to stop taking liquor or drugs! It is the same for those who smoke; even if they need to stop smoking because it is ruining their health, they do not have the strength to do so.


However, if they believe in Me and ask Me for the help they need with their addiction, I will give them the grace to stop and get rid of the problem. If their faith is weak, they need to see a person of great faith who can pray for them to receive the grace they need to liberate them.


I am calling you all, My brothers and sisters, to get rid of all that is blocking your relationship with Me. If you turn to Me, I will help you so that your faith may be strong and our relationship will grow every day. You need Me if you want success in your life and to reach heaven one day. Come and I will give you My peace and My love."

"May families come together for prayers every day"


Dear Friends,


A Brother Who Sins


Jesus said, "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.


If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.


Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:15-20)


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


"My dear brothers and sisters, nothing destroys a relationship with someone more thoroughly than sinning against that person. By doing this you hurt that person in a very deep way. What is needed now is reconciliation so that this sin can be forgotten.


I know how horrible sin is as it caused Me great suffering and at the end death on the cross. Yet I forgave all those who killed Me while hanging on the cross. If one should sin against you I want you to follow My example and forgive from the heart.


You have the sacrament of My mercy and you should take advantage of this sacrament to reconcile yourself with your Father in heaven and all your brothers and sisters. When the priest in the name of the Church absolves your sins, they are absolved and completely gone. It is because of My Passion and Death on the cross that great mercy flows from the Father to you. Be truly sorry for all your sins and come follow Me.


I call you all to pray together. When two or three are gathered in My name, I am there in their midst. O may families come together for prayers every day and your home will be truly blessed. Love, peace and joy will reign in that home. I bless you all."

"He is your best friend"


Dear Friends,


The Burial of Jesus


After this, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body. Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds.


They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom. Now, in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by. (John 19:38-42)


Below you will find the message of Our Dear Mother given to Joseph. Our Blessed Mother spoke to him these words,


"You know, My children, that I stood at the foot of the Cross of My Son Jesus as He hung there until death. My heart was breaking from the pain I felt in My whole being. After Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus removed the lifeless body of Jesus from the cross, they placed His body in My arms. I held His blood stained body with great love although the tears flowed abundantly. He had offered His life on the cross to His Father for the redemption of all the people of the world.


I united My suffering together with the suffering of My Precious Son, Jesus, and offered all of it to the Father that the people of the world would be saved and enter heaven. What love Jesus has for all of you that He accepted to suffer and to die for you! He gave His life for your salvation. Indeed He is the Messiah, the Savior of the world.


My dear children, come and look at the crucifix and picture yourself at the foot of the cross of My Son and know that it was your sins that caused Him such horrible pain. Repent, My children, of all your sins and come near to Jesus and make the resolution to follow Him every day. Call upon Him every day for the strength and the grace you need to avoid sin and to do good. Love your Savior with all your heart and desire only to please Him. I am praying for you, My dear ones, that your faith may be strong and that you will cooperate with all the graces Jesus gives you. He is you best friend."

"Gather together for prayer"


Dear Friends,


A Brother Who Sins


Jesus said, "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.


Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:15-20)


We had another beautiful sunny day yesterday here on the Island. More snow melted during the day. The sky is clear this morning so we should have another nice day.


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


"If someone should offend you in any way, it is very important that you forgive that person and try to make amends with him or her. I want you to love every person even those who hate you. Try all you can to bring your brother or sister around and to establish a good relationship with him or her. If you do this, you are truly a follower of mine.


If two or more of you agree to ask for anything in prayer, the Father will give it to you. Always pray with great confidence knowing that I am listening to your prayer and if it is according to the will of the Father, you will receive it.


How important it is to gather together for prayer! If two or more gather together in My Name to pray, there I am in their midst. When you go to church for Holy Mass or to a prayer group, you can be sure that I am there in your midst. I am listening to every word you are saying and you are receiving many graces. If you pray the rosary together as a family every day, you can be sure that I am present there in your home and I am bringing you many beautiful gifts such as peace, joy, love, understanding and caring for one another. If I live with you, you are blessed and your home is blessed too."

"I love every child"


Dear Friends,


The Parable of the Lost Sheep


Jesus said, "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost." (Matthew 18:10-14)


Here below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,


"I always had a great love for little children for they are so innocent and so ready to believe. Our Heavenly Father has arranged that even children have Guardian Angels who help and protect them. They see the face of the Father in heaven continuously. I want every child to be loved and protected and they must never be abused. All these children should be taught about the love that the Father has for them and the love I have for them too.


How wonderful it is to see children taught by their parents to come to know the Father and to believe in Him. I want them all to come to know Me too and to pray daily for their needs. Children should be baptized as infants and grow as the beloved children of the Father and be the temple of God where the Father, the Holy Spirit and I live in their hearts.


Teach them to pray and to express their love for us. Bring them to church every Sunday so they may come to know the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. One day they too will come to receive Me in Holy Communion. Children must begin from a tender age to pray and to follow Me so that they may have a close relationship with Me. I love every child and if you are My friends, you will do all you can to bring them to follow Me."


Father Melvin


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 15 - Read the Bible

 


"When I am before the Tabernacle, I can say only one thing to Our Lord: 'My God, you know that I love you.' And I feel my prayer does not tire Jesus; knowing the helplessness of His poor little spouse, He is content with her good will" (St. Therese, The Little Flower).


The Cross is the noble seat of uncreated Wisdom that teaches me the most high doctrines, subtle and sublime. Therefore, the Cross alone will unveil to me the most secret mysteries, the most hidden things, the most perfect perfection, hidden to the most learned and wise of the world. Pope John Paul II -

 


Mother Teresa - Love begins at home. Everything depends on how we love each other. Do not be afraid to love until it hurts, for this is how Jesus loved. Each suffering that the soul endures, is one more dominion which she attains over herself.


Meditations by Padre Pio - He who begins to love, must be ready to suffer (CE, 25).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen


The greater our love for God, the less our needs in this world


"Contentment is based on the idea that `our sufficiency is not from ourselves but from God.' The soul does not desire or lack more than what God has supplied him. His will suits his state after he has exhausted his resources and his desire does not exceed his power. Hence everything that happens is judged to be as good and worthy of Divine appointment. As Socrates observed: `He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things.'" St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -


O Lord, my Love, I thank You for this day on which You have allowed me to draw a wealth of graces from the fountain of Your unfathomable mercy. O Jesus, not only today, but at every moment, I draw from Your unfathomable mercy everything that the soul and body could want. (1178)


Jesus. From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls. The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls. Speak to the whole world about My mercy. (1190)


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.


Mar 15 - READ THE BIBLE-- The Queen of Peace speaks of scripture to the prayer group:


I ask you again to multiply your prayers to prepare yourself for Easter. Also, read the Bible, especially those passages that speak of the Passion of Jesus. Prepare yourself to look at Jesus "eye to eye". Tonight when you go home, pray in front of the cross in thanksgiving for all the graces you have received (Visionary Prayer Group March 17, 1989).


In Hebrews, Paul speaks of the power of scripture:


Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb 4:12).


Reflection:


The American poet Timothy Dwight once said: "The Bible is a window in this prison-world, through which we may look into eternity." And yet cannot enlighten or reveal God's will to us unless we read and reflect upon it, which Our Lady calls us to do today.


In Hebrews, Paul speaks of scripture as living, life-changing, and dynamic. God's word reveals who we are and the purpose of life. It penetrates the core of our moral and spiritual life; it helps us to discern what is within us, both good and bad.


As the message of scripture becomes a part of us, it will affect our lifestyle, character, and decisions. It will begin to shape our lives.


Application:


Continue to make sacred scripture a part of your daily life. As Our Lady requests of us for Lent, begin to read the narratives of Christ's Passion, beginning today with Matthew 26:36 –27:61. The others are Mark 14:32—15:47; Luke 22:39—23:56; and John 18:1—19:42.


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 14 - Satan is trying to destroy


"Our Lady gave her flesh for the Incarnation and thereby made possible the Eucharist, where we receive the Flesh that is Bread for the world. In going to the encounter with Our Lady, young people themselves learn to offer their own flesh, their daily life, so that it may be given over to the Lord. And they learn to believe and little by little to say 'yes' to the Lord."


St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr (d. 107), Syria—Oct. 17 "Be careful, therefore, to take part only in the one Eucharist; for there is only one Flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ and one cup to unite us with His Blood."


The Cross grafts into me all the virtues. Pope John Paul II -


Mother Teresa - Find Jesus, and you will find peace.


The Cross is to the creature as the bridle to the horse


What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle? The Cross tames him and restrains him. It softens him, pacifies him and leads him by the hand. The soul by becoming all love, is in continuous contact with Me


Meditations by Padre Pio - The good-hearted man is always strong; he suffers, he sheds tears and he consoles himself sacrificing himself for God and his neighbor (CE, 23).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen The good of sacrifice makes the effort worthwhile


"The violin strings, if they were conscious, would complain when the musician tightened them, but this is because they do not see that the sacrificial strain was necessary before they could produce a perfect melody. Evils actually become lighter by patient endurance and benefits are poisoned by discontent."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html God's floodgates have been opened for us. Let us want to take advantage of them before the day of God's justice arrives. And that will be a dreadful day! (1159)


Today during the Angelus, the Lord gave me an understanding of God's incomprehensible love for people. He lifts us up to His very Godhead. His only motives are love and fathomless mercy. Though You make known the mystery to us through an Angel, You yourself carry it out. (1172)


Whatever Jesus did, He did well. He went along, doing good. His manner was full of goodness and mercy. His steps were guided by compassion. Toward His enemies He showed goodness, kindness, and understanding, and to those in need help and consolation.


I have resolved to mirror faithfully these traits of Jesus in myself during this month, even if this costs me much. (1175)


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.


MARCH 14 - SATAN IS TRYING TO DESTROY


Regarding Satan, the Blessed Mother said to Ivan's prayer group:


"Dear Children, during this Lent Satan is trying by every means to destroy in you what we have started. I warn you as a mother, let prayer be your weapon against him. (Visionary Prayer Group March 12,1988).


In his first letter, Peter also warns of Satan:


Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the Devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. (1 Pt 5:8-9).


Reflection:


The Madonna of Medjugorje continues to emphasize the reality and danger of Satan, for just as a physician cannot treat an illness without a diagnosis, so we cannot fight the Evil One without first acknowledging his existence and power.


In a sermon in Medjugorje on this subject, Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, at one time the spiritual director of the visionaries, said: "Recently Our Lady's messages have been warning us of Satan's presence and we in Medjugorje have actually been experiencing this. It is not an academic question for us, but the actual experience of Satan's presence and attacks…


But Our Lady has taught us how to face this problem, how to fight it. She always points out the weapons we can use against the Evil One: prayer, penance, and as active spiritual life…


Through Our Lady, we have discovered Satan's presence hidden in civilization, which has denied his existence, just as it has denied the presence of God. Satan exists, he is real. But we have the weapons to fight him.


Application:


Simply take to heart the Madonna's message today: «I warn you as a mother, let prayer be your weapon against Satan."


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 13 - SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR LENT


"I adore You, O my Savior, present here as God and man, in soul and body, in true Flesh and Blood.


"I acknowledge and confess that I kneel before the sacred humanity, which was conceived in Mary's womb, and lay in Mary's bosom; which grew up to man's estate, and by the Sea of Galilee called the Twelve, wrought miracles, and spoke words of wisdom and peace; which in due season hung on the cross, lay in the tomb, rose from the dead, and now reigns in heaven.


"I praise, bless and give myself wholly to Him who is the true bread of my soul and my everlasting joy" (Ven. John Henry Newman).


"What great strength souls receive who lovingly visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament." (St. Teresa of the Andes)


St. Teresa of Avila, Carmelite & Church Doctor (1515-1582), Spain—Oct. 15 She wrote, "I am quite sure that if we could but once approach the Most Holy Sacrament with great faith and love, it would suffice to make us rich. How much more so if we approach it often!"


The Cross too, makes me know not only myself, but it gives to me knowledge of God. Pope John Paul II -


Mother Teresa - The time we spend in having our daily audience with God is the most precious part of the whole day. The Cross expands the boundaries of the Kingdom of Heaven


Meditations by Padre Pio - Love Jesus, love Him a lot, but to do this, be ready to love sacrifice more (GB, 61).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We can have peace through our pains


"There is a marvelous peace that comes into the soul if all trials and disappointments, sorrows and pains are accepted either as a deserved chastisement for our sins, or as a healthful discipline which will lead us to greater virtue."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - June 4. Today is the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. During Holy Mass, I was given the knowledge of the Heart of Jesus and of the nature of the fire of love with which He burns for us and of how He is an Ocean of Mercy.


Then I heard a voice: Apostle of My mercy, proclaim to the whole world My unfathomable mercy. Do not be discouraged by the difficulties you encounter in proclaiming My mercy. These difficulties that affect you so painfully are needed for your sanctification and as evidence that this work is Mine. My daughter, be diligent in writing down every sentence I tell you concerning My mercy, because this is meant for a great number of souls who will profit from it. (1142)


We resemble God most when we forgive our neighbors. God is Love, Goodness, and Mercy...


Every soul, and especially the soul of every religious, should reflect My mercy. My Heart overflows with compassion and mercy for all. The heart of My beloved must resemble Mine; from her heart must spring the fountain of My mercy for souls; otherwise I will not acknowledge her as Mine. (1148)


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.


Mar 13 - SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR LENT


During Lent of 1989, Ivan reported the following message to his prayer group:


Our Lady wants this from us during Lent:


1) Review and live her messages.


2) Read the Bible more.


3) Pray more and offer all for the intentions of Our Lady.


4) Make more sacrifices.


Our Lady will be with us and will accompany us. She gave a special blessing (Visionary Prayer Group January 6, 1989).


In his letter to the Colossians, Paul also urges the people to seek "the things above":


So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. (Col 3:1-4)


Reflection:


Seeking "the things that are above" could be defined as striving to put heaven's priorities into daily practice, or to concentrate on the eternal rather than the temporal. It is to view life from the Lord's perspective and to seek what he desires. This is also the antidote to materialism, for we view material goods as God does.


The more we see life around us as God sees it, the more we live in harmony with him and experience his peace. This is also the reason for Mary's requests today; to pray, to live her messages to read the scriptures, and to make sacrifices, are all intended to focus us on "the things above" and bring us into harmony with God.


Application:


Let us simply apply to our lives the very specific advice the Gospa gives us in her message today.


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 12 - Only Peace


"Go to adoration as one who would go to heaven, to the divine banquet. Our Lord will give us audience of grace and love. He is waiting for us. He is longing for us." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)


"The soul that receives the Divine Blood becomes beautiful, as being clothed in a more precious garment, and it appears so beautifully aglow that if you could see it you would be tempted to adore it" (St. Mary Magdalene di Pazzi).


The Cross is the coin of inestimable value and if I, Holy Spouse, shall have the fortune of possessing it, I shall enrich myself with eternal coins unto making myself the richest of Paradise, for the money that circulates in Heaven is the Cross that is suffered on earth. Pope John Paul II -

 


Mother Teresa - The fullness of our heart is expressed in our eyes, in our touch, in what we rite, in what we say, in the way we walk, the way we receive, the way we need. That is the fullness of our heart expressing itself in many different ways.


Works without interior spirit inflates the soul


Meditations by Padre Pio - I would prefer to love a thousand crosses, or rather, every cross would be sweet and light for me if I did not have this trial of always being uncertain if my works are pleasing to the Lord? it is painful to live like this? I resign myself, but my resignation, my fiat seems so cold to me, so useless!? what a mystery! Jesus alone must see to it (AD, 93f.).

 


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Trust that in the end all will work out right.


"There is a world of difference between submitting to the Divine Will from sullenness and submitting to it knowing that God is Supreme Wisdom, and that some day we will know all that happened, happened for the best."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - The flames of mercy are burning me. I desire to pour them out upon human souls. Oh, what pain they cause Me when they do not want to accept them!


My daughter, do whatever is within your power to spread devotion to My mercy. I will make up for what you lack. Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace.


Tell [all people], My daughter, that I am Love and Mercy itself When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls. (1074)


Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the Merciful Savior. At that last hour, a soul has nothing with which to defend itself except My mercy. Happy is the soul that during its lifetime immersed itself in the Fountain of Mercy, because justice will have no hold on it. (1075)


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.


Mar 12 - ONLY PEACE


On the third day of the apparitions, as Marija was descending Podbrdo, she was drawn to the side of the path where she again saw the Blessed Virgin. Weeping, and carrying a wooden cross, the Madonna said:


Peace, Peace, Peace! Be reconciled! Only Peace. Make your peace with God and among yourselves. For that, it is necessary to believe, to pray, to fast, and to go to confession (First Years June 6, 1981).


In Isaiah, there is also anguish in the absence of peace:


Listen! The valiant cry in the streets; The envoys of peace weep bitterly. The highways are deserted; travelers have quit the road. The treaty is broken, Its oaths are despised, its obligations is disregarded. The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is confounded and withers away; Sharon is like a desert; And Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves. Isaiah 33:7-9


Reflection:


Our Lady's words today comprise her first and most powerful message on peace. Weeping and carrying a cross symbolizing man's sin, enmity and strife, she pleads for reconciliation. And she immediately gives us the means: faith, prayer, fasting, and confession.


Given on the third day of the apparitions, the Virgin in effect summarizes her messages for all the years ahead. We can only surmise the gravity of the world's situation which has required her to stay with us so long.


In Colossians, Paul also tells us to let peace reign in our hearts. Our hearts are the center of conflict, for their feelings and desires clash?our fears and hopes, our distrust and trust, our jealousy and love. How can we deal with these constant conflicts and live as God wants? Both Paul and the Blessed Mother ask that we decide between conflicting elements by using the rule of peace: which choice will promote peace in our souls and among our neighbors?


Applications:


Referring back to the Virgin's message, are we promoting peace through the means she gives us? Today, how can you be a peacemaker within your family, your workplace, your parish?


Messages Thru Marie - March 9, 2010


This message came in very very very strong hence my large font- even in my notes it was bold and strong!


Mar 9, 2010 7:45 am sorrowful mysteries


Jesus: The coming of the new Kingdom! Prepare yourselves well for this coming. This preparation begins and ends in the hearts of my children. I prepared a kingdom that cannot be broken, subdued, nor breached by any human power.


This kingdom I built has a door - this is My Mother.


Me: Are you not the door? the way? to the Father?


Jesus: This is the will of the Father, that all shall come to ME, thru my Mother. Those who come to love, honor and adore my mother, know her profound virtue of humility. She wanted only the Father's will and stayed hidden and secret so that all focus be on the Father.


Yet I came through her that all of you may also pass through her. As your spiritual Mother, as you unite closely to her, as you bend your will to follow My Mother, you will get filled with the Holy Spirit, more and more.


For those who establish the kingdom of the Father closely united to My Mother shall find the Holy Spirit residing in them more and more.


When I am in the hearts of my children fully, wholly, this shall begin the reign of Heaven on Earth.


Begin the work of transformation now my remnants. I do not seek you in part. I seek you in whole! I wish you to make of your offering everything so that there is nothing else hidden.(from Me)


Enter my kingdom through My Mother. Come to her all you who grow tired. Yes, the battle rages but I provide for my own. Always rest assured that there is abundant grace overflowing to cover and protect each of my beloved children.


Hurry and prepare your souls! The kingdom of Heaven is near! When I reside fully in the hearts of men your whole lives are turned to Me.


When all you do reflects the glory of the Father, When all your desires are bent to the will of the Father, then the Kingdom of Heaven is on Earth!


Hurry then to my Mother - she is the door to the Kingdom of Heaven! I will reside in you for you are united in love to my Mother!


end of message


*this message was told so powerfully fast and just pouring! took me only very very short time to write.


FROM: Sadie Jaramillo Ite Ad Joseph - Go To Joseph-- A powerful and miraculous prayer that was given to me by a dear friend and sister in Christ Jesus that was taught to her by nuns, when there is a situation (and there will always be) especially when it is our children, is to call upon Our Lady.


In the image Our Lady of Grace, she is stepping on the head of a serpent as quoted in the book of Genesis 3:15 "I shall put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel." This was God speaking to the serpent after he tempted Eve and caused the fall of man.


The prayer is: "Blessed Mother stand on the head of the serpent that surrounds this situation!"


As I began to pray this prayer, I actually could feel the power and those demons being crushed under Our Lady's tiny feet! This powerful little prayer is constantly in my heart now and I thank God that I can continue to learn spiritual pearls of wisdom!


: If you do not have a devotion to St. Joseph, please go to him! St. Joseph has interceded and obtained all my prayers from His Son Jesus. I can tell you that there is NOTHING that I have not gone to him in prayer for that he has not answered.


Joseph is the patron of the dying because, although not too much is known about him, we do know that he died with Jesus and Mary very close to him, and I believe that in our preparation for death, that is how we would all like to die.....in the presence of the Two Hearts.


Joseph is also patron of the universal Church, fathers, carpenters, and I am sure there are many more categories we could put him in. Most important for me, he is the patron of the interior prayer life.


Not too much is known about St. Joseph -- where and when he was born, how he spent his days, when and how he died. But the bible has left us with the most important knowledge: who he was -- "a righteous man" (Matthew 1:18). The definition of righteous: "acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous."


Problems of today have always existed. Shelter, finances, problem children etc.


So years ago I read that many of the saints also had a great devotion to him because of his powerful intercession and asked him to help me try to emulate as much as possible the Holy Family.....with him as the spiritual head of my home...and so I lay my head on St. Joseph's shoulder and as I said in the beginning..there is NOTHING that I have gone to him for that he has not answered for me...Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you save souls!


Stop focusing on the terrible events that could happen and will happen unless you all pray! Keep the stories of miracles that come out of every tragedy deep in your hearts. The way lives were spared from the 9/11 events or the Indonesian tsunami, and although I have not spent a lot of time scouring the internet for similar stories from the earthquake ravaged Haiti, or Chile, I am positive there are.


Pray, every moment...how can you do that you might ask? Well, interior prayer of the heart can continue no matter where you are, or what you are doing....short little prayers, whatever your prayer might be....Jesus gets tired of hearing me say over and over and over again..."Jesus, I love you" or "Precious Blood of Jesus I adore you" or other short little prayers of love as I am cleaning the house, washing dishes, or just sitting down.


I don't have to be in church on my knees to pray. We can pray every moment although we do need to find S I L E N C E so as I go about my day for the most part the way the Lord taught me was to gently let me see that I could not hear Him if I had too much "noise" in my life.


So my music, which I once loved to play 24/7 went off. So too did the soap operas of the 70's. The more time I could spend in silence gave me the opportunity to talk to God and then to just be..just be...just be..silent, so that IF the Lord was going to speak to me I could hear him.

End of Message


External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, March 7, 2010


My dearest children, I am your Mother, Mary. Thank you for gathering again this day. Thank you for your prayers for each other. I wish to confirm the fact that the Fatima children are here with you, My dear ones.


Cherish their presence. Cherish their prayers. It is an act of trust on your part to accept the fact that they are present. It is also a practice, the practice of Our presence with you at every moment; and this is a reminder that these words are true, that you are never alone, that My Jesus and I and many Angels are with you at every moment.


It is such a blessed time, My children, this time of Lent, this time of many graces, and true and complete cleansing of your souls. That opportunity is always yours, My dear ones; but you are reminded more, and given more graces with which to attend at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.


Gather all your strength, all your trust in the Spirit of God to show you your sins, your failings; and most of all, My children everywhere in the world, understand that everyone, by their mere humanity, is still dealing with selfishness. It is a great personal enemy to Our people, to all those who attempt to change, to be as obedient as possible in their lives to the Father's commandments; but, especially at this time, also to His call to holiness.


It is the way you will continue on this journey. You have been learning to pray and trust, to develop compassion, to accept all the gifts the Father is giving you. Everything you need is already yours, and so it has been a time of training.


Very, very, very soon, it will be a time of action, putting into place everything you have learned, opening your hearts, and minds, and wills, and arms to the people who will come to you. It will not necessarily be that time that will be after the Warning when many, many people come; but the Father has always allowed you to practice, to put into practice what you have learned, to put into practice the trust you have accepted, and all of the words of love and mercy you can gather for individuals who will come to you. The level of suffering has been raised. You know it, personally; and you can feel it in the world, and see it in earthquakes and other devastation.


There is much occurring about which you know nothing, the plans of the New World Order people who are very busy, My dear ones, behind the scene, laying the foundation of world domination. That has never gone away. That has always been a focus of your prayers and a preparation for greater fights, greater battles, greater victories in the future.


Remember to praise and thank the Father for allowing you to live at this time, this time of renewal of yourselves first, of your families, your countries and the world, a renewal and a return to the Father, the Creator of all. Ponder these words, My children. Do not cast them off because they are not new, but rejoice and cherish them more. Cherish each other as the greatest gifts you have received outside of the Sacraments.


All of you love My precious Jesus so much. It is one of the few joys I allow Myself, My children. It is so unitive to all of us. We need each other; and, so, we pray together and enjoy each others company and praise the Father for each other. Whatever is happening in your life, My people everywhere, rejoice in sincerity. It is developing untold and unimagined strength for each of you.


You are blessed. You are cherished by your Creator, God. Let us give thanks for each other, My children, as we begin each day in your journey together. There is so much to be thankful for. I love you. Be at true peace as often as you can these coming days, and live each day in anticipation.


Amen, My children. Thank you for being here. Thank you for loving Me. I am protecting you from yourselves, your weaknesses, your distractions and the great anger of the evil one. All is well, My dear ones. All will be well, My dear ones. Be at peace, My children. It is in peace that you receive healing. Be healed, My children, in the Name of My Jesus. You are Mine. Truly, you are Mine. Amen. Amen."

Message to Michael DiBitetto March 9,2010


THE T.R.U.S.T. PRAYER GROUP OF SHELTON, CT


March 9, 2010.


Tuesday evening 7:00 p.m. Tonight we prayed The Marian Prayers


Web site … trustprayergrp.org


The beginning of the 4th decade, Our Blessed Mother has appeared as…


“Our Lady Of All Nations”


Michael said: I bow down only to Jesus Christ


Blessed Mother replied: YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR MY SON JESUS CHRIST LOVES AND PROTECTS YOU.


- now over the picture of The Sacred Heart, St. Padre-Pio has appeared and he is celebrating mass.


-and now on the-wall … I see a very LARGE BROWN CROSS … -and on the bottom I see a very LARGE BROWN ANCHOR (The Anchor signifies ‘hope’)


- now I see The Holy Spirit as ‘The DOVE’ has appeared on the-wall … and It’s comng from –the-wall- and is going around the room, and It’s going “through” everyone’s heart.


Now once again I see …


"OUR LADY OF ALL NATIONS"


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


WHEN … WILL THE NON-BELIEVERS START TO BELIEVE? DISASTERS CONTINUE AND NOT JUST THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. BUT YET ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY … NOT AS BAD AS THE OTHERS, AND YOU SAY MAYBE:


WHY NOT… IT IS BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE ARE PRAYING THEY HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR THE PEOPLE IN HAITI AND IN CHILE, FOR THE ONES THAT LOST THEIR LIVES … AND THEY WERE PRAYING FOR THE SURVIVORS, SO MORE PRAYERS WERE SAID AND AS I HAVE ALWAYS SAID: PRAYERS CAN EASE DISASTERS.


BUT IS THAT ENOUGH? PEOPLE STILL RATHER GO TO CHURCH JUST ON SUNDAY AND THEY FEEL THEY DID THEIR OBLIGATION. WITH NO PRAYERS DURING THE WEEK OR NOT AN EXTRA MASS DURING THE WEEK, WHEN THEY DO FIND OUT IT WILL BE TOO LATE, AS WHEN THEY MEET MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ON JUDGMENT DAY … THEY WILL REGRET THAT THEY DID NOT PRAY MORE OR ATTEND AN EXTRA MASS.


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT THE XVI … AND ALL HIS INTENTIONS ESPECIALLY DURING THIS LENTEN SEASON. PRAY FOR YOUR PRIESTS AND YOUR DEACONS, AND PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR ALL THE NON-BELIEVERS … FOR THE ONES THAT FEEL THEY DO NOT NEED TO GO TO CONFESSION, THAT THEY JUST SPEAK TO GOD FROM THEIR HOME … BUT THEY DO NOT REALIZE … WHO WILL ABSOLVE THEM OF THEIR SINS, WHAT PENANCE WILL THEY DO … IF ANY.


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


LENT IS STILL NOT OVER … WE ARE APPROACHING ALMOST THE MIDDLE OF LENT … AND YET PEOPLE THAT DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE … DO NOT CARE … AND THERE ARE MANY OF MY CHILDREN WHO HAVE DOUBTS …


DOUBTS OF MY MESSAGES … DOUBTS OF MY APPEARING … BUT THEY DO NOT REALIZE ‘ALL THE GRACES’ THEY ARE MISSING …


DO REMEMBER THAT I HAD SAID IN THE BEGINNING OF LENT … TO MAKE AN EXTRA SACRIFICE, SOMETHING FOR MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. BUT MANY, MANY OF MY CHILDREN ARE STILL … LAID BACK. MANY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THAT ‘EXTRA’ MILE OR THAT EXTRA STEP. MANY, MANY PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO OPEN THEIR HEARTS … AND THEY HAVE THEIR FREE-WILL …


BUT I ASK YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM MY DEAR CHILDREN … PRAY FOR THEM.


MANY, MANY OF YOU MY DEAR CHILDREN HAVE DOUBTS … WHY THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN FOR THE BEST … THAT THINGS SEEM TO GET WORSE… DO REMEMBER … GOD OUR FATHER AND MY SON JESUS CHRIST … ARE THE ONES WHO CAN HEAL AND ANSWER YOU … AS YOU ARE BEING TRIED AND TESTED …


IN MANY WAYS … AND MANY OF YOU MY DEAR CHILDREN … ARE PASSING YOUR TEST.


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


PLEASE … I ASK YOU FOR ONE LITTLE FAVOR … AND THAT IS EVERYDAY FROM NOW … TILL EASTER … THINK OF SOMETHING ABOUT MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST … SOMETHING THAT HE WENT THROUGH DURING HIS PASSION …


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN … I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH … AND I PROTECT YOU ALL UNDER MY MANTLE AND I BLESS YOU ALL … IN THE NAME OF OUR FATHER, MY SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.


(and now Our Blessed Mother has disappeared)


-and now over the picture of The Sacred Heart … St.Padre Pio has appeared once again and he’s continuing to celebrate mass …


-and now over The picture of The Divine Mercy … The Holy Spirit has appeared and ray’s of light are coming down towards everyone in the prayer group.


-and now …on the wall … I see … St. Padre Pio … and he’s holding The Eucharist out and their coming from his hand one-at-a-time, towards everyone in the prayer group everyone is receiving Spiritual Communion from St. Padre Pio this evening. Including everyone on the radio internet.


That is all for this evening. Thank you all once again for joining us in prayer … and May Our Blessed Mother Be Always By Your Side.

 

 


SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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

God The Father/Gianna Sullivan Jan.8, 2009

The Words of God the Father
through Gianna Sullivan To the World January  8, 2009
 
 Children of Humanity,
 
 You were created through Love to love.  Your vocation is to love.  How easily
you become distracted.  You desire changes and are quick to respond to any
person or situation if it lifts your spirit in a self-serving way.  You all seem
to desire to be loved and accepted.  The irony is that you were created for this
actual reality, that being to love.  The communion with humanity and God through
Love is your center of happiness and freedom. 
 
 You lose your focus by missing your opportunity of serving and loving people,
whether in need or otherwise.  The only tool at your disposal is the fundamental
act that you can to decide to love or decide to hate.  Indifference will lead to
hate because it is a  poisonous venom.  Your free will was a gift to grant you
freedom, but you have chosen to endure hardships by ignoring the Truth of Love. 

 I Am Love, and it was through My Love that you exist.  To continue to exist, you
must also love, or your existence will be short-lived and will lead to
destruction.  If you fear difficulties now, how much more will you fear them
when they surface later? 

 I have given you graces and opportunities to multiply in My Love.  I cautioned
you to beware and to live your vocations in Truth.  That vocation is Love, for
you are nothing without Love.  You are nothing without Me;  for I Am Love.  I
Am.

MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

IT IS WITH GREAT JOY THAT I DRAW YOU FROM THE WORLD AND PLACE YOU IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART. AS YOU HAVE LONGED FOR THIS GATHERING, SO TOO HAVE I. I UNDERSTAND YOUR HEARTS AND I KNOW YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANXIETIES. DEAR SWEET CHILDREN, I AM YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL HELP YOU IN ALL SITUATIONS - TRUST MY IMMACULATE HEART. IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD THE FATHER, THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY CARE, ALWAYS UNDER MY PROTECTION AND FOREVER WITHIN MY HEART WHICH IS ENTWINED WITH THE SACRED HEART OF MY SON.

AS YOU YEARN FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM, I BRING TO YOU WHAT THE FATHER DEEMS NECESSARY FOR TODAY.

YOUR NATION IS FACING AN EVIL OF UNKNOWN MAGNITUDE. THIS EVIL IS KNOWN TO GOD AND SO HE SEEKS OUT THE FAITHFUL SOULS TO PRAY AND HIS ARMY TO DO BATTLE. YOUR NATION MUST RETURN TO GOD AND THE PROCESS IS THUS VERY SLOW. BUT EVIL WILL NOT WIN OVER THE HAND OF GOD. THOUGH HIS HAND HAS BEEN REMOVED TO ALLOW MAN TO SEE CLEARLY - IT SHALL BE ONCE MORE HELD OVER YOUR COUNTRY - THAT THERE BE NO DOUBT THAT THERE IS GOD WHO IS ALMIGHTY AND HE WILL FOREVER BE MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY EVIL. SO I SAY TO YOU TRUST, TRUST, TRUST. SO OFTEN YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN THE POWER OF GOD, YET YOU AT TIMES GIVE IN TO THE TROUBLES THAT SURROUND YOU. I TELL YOU TO PUT ASIDE ANY FEAR OR ANXIETY AND KNOW THAT WHAT I HAVE SAID TO YOU THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN IS TRUE AND IS FOR ALL TIME. IT IS YOU THAT IS WEAK, NOT GOD. YOU GIVE IN TO SO MANY WORRIES AND YOU FORGET THAT YOU WERE CHOSEN FOR GOD?S WORK IN THESE TIMES. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT THE WORLD YOU SHOULD HAVE SO MUCH CONCERN FOR, BUT THE STATE OF THE HOLY CHURCH - PUT YOUR HEARTS INTO THE TRUTH, IT IS THE TRUTH THAT YOU MY DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN, THAT SHALL CARRY IT INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH.

YOU ARE INDEED AWARE OF THE PAIN OF THE HOLY CHURCH. IT SHALL SURVIVE, BUT ITS WOUNDS SHALL BE DEEP AND TAKE THEIR TOLL. SO MANY ARE LEAD ASTRAY BECAUSE PRIESTS AND OTHERS HAVE FORSAKEN THE TRUTHS OF JESUS CHRIST. THE PEOPLE ARE NOT NOURISHED AND THEY SCATTER AS THEIR SHEPHERDS TURN AWAY FROM THEIR FLOCKS. MY SON KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE HEART OF EACH PRIEST AND HE WILL SHOW THEM ALL OF IT AT THE MOMENT OF DECISION. THE EARTH WILL QUAKE OVER AND OVER BECAUSE OF THE SINS OF THE PRIESTS. THEY MUST BE SHAKEN AND MADE AWARE OF THEIR DISCREPANCIES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME SO BLINDED BY PRIDE. SEEK AFTER HOLY PRIEST - THOSE I CAN CALL MY SONS. THEY WILL FEED YOU WITH THE HOLY EUCHARIST AND CLEANSE YOUR SOULS. THEY WILL BE YOUR STRENGTH AS THE CHURCH BEGINS TO CRUMBLE UNDER THE FORCE OF EVIL. BUT GOD?S HAND HAS ALREADY MADE READY THE REMEDY, AND THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL AND PERSEVERE WILL SEE THE CHURCH RISE ONCE MORE IN SPLENDOR AND IT WILL BE AS NEVER BEFORE.

MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE COME TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU HAVE ENDURED A TIME AS NEVER BEFORE. YOU FIND YOURSELVES AT A DISTANCE FROM ONE ANOTHER AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED THE COMFORT YOU FIND IN EACH OTHER. THIS TOO HAS BEEN NECESSARY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO STAY CONNECTED WITHIN MY HEART, DESPITE ANY AND ALL OBSTACLES. AS YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD TOGETHER THE UNITY WHICH HAS BEEN TESTED IN MANY, MANY WAYS, YOU WILL BECOME ONLY STRONGER. IT IS NOT THE BODY WHICH MUST ENDURE, BUT THE HEART AND THE SOUL. EACH HEART HAS BEEN KISSED AND EMBRACED BY THIS MOTHER, BUT EACH HEART AND EACH SOUL HAS BEEN EMERGED IN THE GRACE OF GOD. IT IS GOD?S GRACE THAT SHALL KEEP YOU AND STRENGTHEN YOU. YOU HAVE EVERY GRACE ATTACHED TO YOU, ONLY TO BE AWAKENED AS YOU PROCEED TO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. OH MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE BEEN FORTIFIED AND MADE READY FOR THESE TIMES WHICH ARE MOST DIFFICULT. YOU HAVE MADE READY TO FORGE AHEAD AND COME TO REST AT THE SIDE OF MY SON. HE KNOWS YOU, HE LOVES YOU. WHEN MANKIND WITNESSES THE GREAT ACT OF MERCY - THEY SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF MY SON. YOU MY CHILDREN ARE ASSURED OF THIS BECAUSE I HAVE REVEALED IT THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN. BE AT PEACE AS YOUR HEARTS CAN ENDURE. LET ME LOVE YOU AND CARE FOR YOU.

MY BELOVED PRIESTS-SONS, I VISIT YOU TODAY IN THIS SPECIAL WAY BECAUSE YOU ARE MY BELOVED SONS AND I LOVE YOU BEYOND COMPREHENSION. TO YOU I SAY, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO HOLD TO THE TRUTH. GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU IN A MOST SPECIAL WAY. NOURISH YOUR FLOCKS THOUGH EXHAUSTION IS INEVITABLE. YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO STAY IN GRACE AND OVERCOME FATIGUE AND INSULTS. THE INSULTS WILL COME FROM THOSE WHO ARE FILLED WITH PRIDE AND THINK THEMSELVES ABOVE YOU. YOU WILL BE LADEN WITH THE WORK OF SAVING SOULS, AND MY SONS, YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE GRACE TO DO SO. TRUST IS MOST IMPORTANT, EVEN WHEN YOU SEEM TO BE ABANDONED. NEVER WILL YOU BE LEFT ALONE. YOU HAVE ONLY TO CLOSE YOUR EYES IN PRAYER AND YOU WILL BE FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE AND MERCY. NOW TAKE UP THE CROSS AND BRING IT TO THOSE WHO LONG FOR SALVATION. I LOVE YOU MY BELOVED SONS, AND I CARRY EACH OF YOU IN MY HEART.

MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN, YOU TOO HAVE A GREAT TASK AHEAD. BUT YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MADE READY. AND SO I BRING TO YOU MY LOVE IN AN OVERWHELMING WAY. YOU ARE CRADLED AND BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU ARE MY LITTLE ONES GIVEN TO ME BY GOD AND I SHALL BE WITH YOU FOREVER.

I GO TO EACH OF YOU TODAY, AND AS I HOLD YOU TO ME, I BRING INTO YOUR HEARTS THE LOVE OF THIS MOTHER. MAY THIS LOVE ENTICE YOU TO RECALL ALL I HAVE PROMISED YOU, THUS BRINGING YOU CONSOLATION IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES. AND SO WITH THE GRACE GOD DESIRES FOR YOU THIS DAY, I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

MAY YOU GIVE PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD - NOW AND FOREVER.

"Have a plan for your life"


Dear Friends,


The Conditions of Discipleship


Then Jesus said to his disciples, Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’sglory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct. Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. (Matthew 16:24:28)

 

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

At times when I was with the Apostles, I spoke to them about discipleship. How important it is to deny oneself and be humble. Pride does not have a place in you if you want to follow Me. You know that I carried My cross right up to Golgotha and I call each one of you to carry your cross every day. Each person has a cross to carry and how important it is for you to carry it behind Me. Your cross is all the suffering you have in your life, such as sickness, tiredness, difficult work to do, insults you receive from others, depression, discouragement, etc. How important it is that you call upon Me to help you in carrying your cross.

 

You have to give Me your life so I can make use of you for the mission I have planned for you. It is in giving your life to Me that you will find it and you will have the strength and the joy in doing what I have called you to do. The main reason why you were born was to work together with Me to attain eternal life in heaven. Look at Me at all times to have the graces you need every day and cooperate with all I give you. You are called to love the Lord with all your heart and to love one another as I have loved you. Have a plan for your life and follow it every day. I will give you the gifts you need. I love you.


Father Melvin

Private Message from Our Lady
to Gianna Talone Sullivan August 22, 2009
The Feast of the Queenship of Mary
 
 My dear little children, praised be Jesus!
 
 Thank you, little ones, for praying.  Know, as your Mother, I am pleased to be
here with you. 
 
 I wonder if you understand the meaning of Queenship.  Do you know what it
entails to be a queen?  Is it royalty?  Is being catered to?  Is it being a
role model with glamour and fame? 
 
 My Son was King of the Jews;  and after all the good He did,  this King was
despised, spat upon, tormented, crushed and crucified. People were jealous of
Him. In the time of my Son’sLife, many people were crucified.  In fact, there
were so many people crucified that there were rows of those on crosses.  That
was the way of execution, but not to the extent of my Son’s. 

 
So as a Queen, should I not be like my Son, the King lowly, unnoticed, loving,
doing all good, and devoted to the Divine Will of God the Father?  As you
celebrate and honor my Queenship, I celebrate my Son Who has gained you the
honor to dwell with Him in His true royalty which is far beyond and more
glorious than your meaning and definition of king and queen today.
 
 I am not inviting you to be tormented or despised, to be spat upon, to be
tortured or crushed.  What I am inviting you to be is by my side, within my
mantle, doing all you can do to be loving and kind and detached from the way
that the world can distract you and lead you away from God. 

 We desire you to be happy and whole, healthy and pure, wise and humble.  We
desire you to receive, yet not be distracted.  So Peace and blessings to you! 
Because of my Son’s Act, you are free and will never have to suffer to the full
extent that He has suffered for the world’sfreedom and salvation.

 
 I love you, and I thank you.  I encourage you to be full of Life!
 
 Peace (fading whisper).

Mar 2, 2010 Tues, 8 am, my altar, divine mercy chaplet

Me: I had to esp. pray for a dear friend whose husband
is very brooding and is not cooperative
when entire family goes out and bonds. He does
not want to talk to them, either the wife or kids.
The children are also getting fed up with him. (they are nice kids)
This friend of mine does everything in the home - is a very
good wife and mother, and compassionate friend. In
my time of need, I could count on her. She has been
one of my Simon of Cyrenes in several
low / critical moments of my life.

I'm worried because it's always been usually
me seeking comfort/counsel/guidance on what
to do re: a particular situation. This time she was
unusually visibly upset and going crazy with the
situation. She also takes care of her aging mother,
etc. Have mercy on her lord and enlighten her
husband. She does not want to rock the boat but
I'm discerning there is something rocking
the boat at work - someone?

Jesus: Pray much, offer me today, anything,
your lunch, (half it) , your actions, etc. I shall send
forth My Spirit down on him and enlighten him.
He's tempted and continuously by someone.

He is blessed with a faithful wife and loving
humble, grounded children. I will touch his heart...
The devil is no longer sleeping and is increasing his
work to destroy strong families. Pray, offer, worry not.
Trust in me. Trust in my promise.

end message

note: after extra prayers offered for my friend and
her husband and divine mercy chaplet mentioning
specifically the husband's name, For the sake of his
sorrowful passion, have mercy on (husband's name)...
and offerings, little things throughout day, my friend
in a very good mood, came to see me the next day and when i
asked her how everything was at home, she said,
you won't believe it, but he was surprisingly in a very
different mood, He was in a good mood! What a difference are
prayers and offerings!

Mar 5, 2010, 4:30 am, Fri, Sorrowful mysteries

Me: I have been making daily consecration
of myself, my will, my goods, my works, actions,
past, present and future to God thru Mama Mary
including that of my family. Almost always,
daily yet it was pointed out to me
that we need some preparation time/effort
before we can do a successful consecration.

I was repeatedly told last nite about
the conflict eternally between the spirit of
the world/flesh and the spirit of God. We must
be in this state of casting off the spirit of lust/
of passions of this world, as we do this we can
enlarge/grow in the life in the Spirit according
to the Will of the Father. This was my last inspired
thought before I fell asleep.

And it no longer surprises me this morning, as I'm
directed to the book,'True devotion to Mary'
that St. Louis de Montfort has a specific
instruction on the PREPARATION FOR CONSECRATION
TO JESUS THRU MARY.

THere are exercises recommended to assure
the purity and proper disposition they tend to
develop in our souls.

The first part is a 12 day period where we are to t
try to free ourselves from the Spirit of the world.
and a second period of 3 weeks:
1st week -knowledge of ourselves
2nd week - knowledge of Mama Mary
3rd week - knowledge of Jesus christ

This period may be lengthened or shortened but
the point is to cast the spirit of the world in
order to acquire fully the spirit of Jesus Christ thru
Mama Mary.

In the first period - renouncement of the world -
there are prayers suggested, bible readings, and book
readings.

More importantly there are spiritual exercises consisting of:
1. examination of conscience
2. pray
3. practice renouncement
4. mortification
5. purity of heart


!st week- Knowledge of self - use all effort to
ask for knowledge of self and contrition of their
sins in a spirit of humility.

The devil who is the spirit of the world
employs all devices to bring error and darkness
to the mind, seducing and corrupting the will.
,,,bring error to the mind, seducing....and corrupting
the will...He employs various charms to render sin
alluring in persons, places and things.

Jesus: Start to practice reflecting on what earthly things
you crave for - notice how first you gazed at
it and lusted over it, to posses it. It possesses your
mind: this object of the world - a thing,
a person, an exotic place. As it consumes your mind
it draws attention away from ME.

Start to look to the Star of the Ocean - Mary my Mother
Find in her all virtues, pleasing to the Father - her
humility, purity, patience, her full total obedience to the Father.
Her lack of any earthly desire but to do His will.
Try to imitate her virtues.

Then afterwards, turn to my Sacred Heart and
observe what I set out to accomplish. Ask
me to cover you with my precious blood.

I through the intercession of my Mother, and the
workings of the Holy Spirit shall enlighten you to
your miserable self. Allow me to show you your
weaknesses, allow me to mold you a little
every day, and point to you lovingly, patiently
peel off the layers of pride, lust, envy your soul
is enveloped in.

Then you may come to me in confession,
armed with the right conscience and
begin to walk in the right path according to
my Father's will.

Consecration is not easy my child but
with God's grace, I can transform you and so
long as you consistently persist in trying to
desire to follow the will of the Father, He shall
assist you.

end of message

Note: confession to be fruitful requires a greater
preparation and greater self reflection. One must
call on the Holy Spirit to show us our many many
many sins. Some sins are done daily, naturally,
that we have no sense of sin in these small acts.
Our mouths sin a lot...our eyes too. Envy begins here
then makes its way to our hearts. Watch watch yourself.

Mar 6, 2010 saturday joyful mysteries

Jesus; Consecration is not as many think,
something that is done in one day and then
you move on to other things. It is a
series of peeling away of the layers of self.
of which some outer layers you may
be already aware of but the other layers
of sin is a lengthier process.

I liken it to psychiatric counselling.
Patients go to the psychiatrist to get better
but find that understanding themselves and
overcoming their addictions or treating their
problems require a deeper knowledge of
self. It requires a deeper knowledge of
things and going to the subconscious level.

Be patient when seeking to examine your
conscience. It is pride to even think that you
sin so little. You may not sin in the mortal ways
that you have narrowly defined. But again
pride is a very tight film that clothes and cloaks
the spirit of evil from your eyes.

By God's help, he shall pour graces and
enlighten your conscience to make you aware
of many of your offenses.

After your first confession, do not think you are
ready to make your final consecration.
The Spirit shall help but you must turn all your
efforts to heaven for help. Look to Mary
and see and praise her attributes. How near or
far are you from my model?

You see there is a very wide gap once you
see with my eyes - and then let me ask you,
how do you fair when you glance at my life?
esp. how I obediently lovingly carried my cross
until my crucifixion? Do you obediently carry your cross?

You must learn to see yourself with spiritual
eyes more and more. By offering sacrifices, repenting
and going to confession, mortification of the senses,
mortification of the tongue,
by your continued prayers, by turning your thoughts
to me, you begin to let go of the spirit of
this world and can thus be led by My Spirit.

Consecration is a lifelong process of
transformation into a holy child of God.

My child, My peace be with you on this day that celebrates this journey, this mission in which I have given you. My Blood flows My daughter and the fountain of My mercy is pouring out but I say to you on this day that much prayer is needed.

I tell you My child that the days, the hour is rolling ahead like claps of thunder and cities will become like deserts. An island in the middle of the Pacific will descend into the ocean as the earth continues to respond to the depth of man’ssins.

Repent My children! Repent for you have been given this extended time of grace to mend your lives and change your sinful ways. My words to My children are to pray, pray, pray for little time remains for your hour has now come. Heaven is warning you dear children for mercy and justice are becoming one through Us, your Triune God, for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

My child, I say to My children, do you not see that all will be accountable for themselves? I say to you My children you are given one life, one soul. Do you see My children you speak words but your tongues do not always have direction. You use your actions that do not always reflect Mine.

Each and every word you speak, each action that you possess is yours to be accounted for. No one will stand with you at judgment. Your neighbor cannot atone for you, only you can atone for yourself. Allow Me to posses your thoughts, guide your tongues and in turn your actions will be of Me.

Too many seek to look to the faults of their neighbor instead of the faults of themselves. I say to you that the devil may use the mind to trick the body to trap the soul. But it is I Jesus who speaks to the heart to drive the mind to do the will of your Heavenly Father to save your soul.

Now go forth dear children in love and action of Your Creator for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

Solemnity of Mary

Dear Children,


Today I invite you as a family to pray with your Heavenly Mother for world peace. The world has entered into a New Year, a world which continues to live without God in their lives in many parts of the world. Many have abandoned their faith and have embraced the ways of the world. Sin continues to increase. Prayer is the medicine for all unconverted sinners. Little children, remain strong in prayer for there will be much more suffering throughout the world, and many will be affected by these sufferings. Pray with your Heavenly Mother and fear nothing for I am with you. Trust in my powerful intercession. Offer your masses, rosaries, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, frequent confessions and reading holy scripture for the conversion of the world. Do this daily, if possible. Do not abandon the call to holiness. I am praying for you as family and securing the path that will lead you to Heaven.
 
 Pray, children, pray for all the evil in unconverted souls. Thank you for listening to my message.
 
 Our Lady’swords to me: My angel, offer your prayers and sufferings for the sufferings in the world."  I saw many people suffering and many people dying.

1/8/2010

Behold, beloved of the Father,
 
 
We the three Archangels bring you guidance from Heaven. Ponder all that we share with you
.Beloved, behold the vision before you:
 
 The Archangels showed me the vision of December 7, 2009. Again I saw major earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, severe weather, hot and cold, the sufferings in the economy worldwide. I saw the seriousness of the calamities and pestilence that would continue throughout the world. The Archangel Michael said: Beloved, as sin increases, suffering will continue to cover many parts of the world. Many souls continue to live without God and thus ignore the warnings from Heaven. Pray and fast, beloved, asking the mercy of the eternal Father upon a world that continues to walk in darkness.
 
 I saw myself praying where there were very tall trees. Then the Archangel Michael said: Pray for Spain." Then he added: Also for Rome, Italy." Again no explanation was given as to why.
 
 Then the Archangel Michael said for me to look up into the sky and I saw the letters that spelled Revolution and these letters were surrounded by fire. Then St. Michael said to me: Beloved, pray and fast for all that we the three Archangels show you. You will suffer much as you pray and fast, but do not give up on prayer." The vision ended.

"With ever-living ardor, contemplate Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. Following His example, be ready in all circumstances to make yourselves instruments of mercy and communion. The secret of pastoral success is the crucified and risen Lord, Whom we adore in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. As you well know, in order to be eloquent signs of His love and instigators of His peace in all environments, everyone is first of all asked to cultivate an intimate and constant familiarity with Him. From intense participation in the Eucharist springs the spiritual energy needed to bring all projects of goodness to fruition." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)

 

The Cross suffered by you, Jesus Christ, freed me from the slavery of the devil and wed me to the Divinity with an indissoluble bond.

. . . .  I fell in love with the Blessed Sacrament from the beginning?and by the mercy of God never have fallen out again . . . .  Out of wickedness and sloth I almost ceased to practice my religion . . . .  Not for me the Hound of Heaven, but the never-ceasing silent appeal of Tabernacle, and the sense of starving hunger" (J. R. R. Tolkien).

Mother Teresa -


It is very important that right from the beginning we simply live the gospel. Live the gospel in prayer; live the gospel in words.
You won't be able to give what you don't have.

 
Pray for priests in order that they may be a light in the people so that, as the light rises again, the laity may be able to obtain light and see the errors they commit.
 
 Meditations by Padre Pio -


I understand very well, that your Calvary is becoming more and more painful. But remember that it was on Calvary the Jesus redeemed us, and the salvation of redeemed souls must be accomplished there (Letters III, p. 452).


 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen


You cannot be indifferent and be content


"The Eastern World has struck on the secret of inner peace by suggesting that inner happiness is dependent on the control and limitation of desires. St. Paul said: `I have learned to be content with what I have' (Philippians 4: 11). Contentment is not indifference though the ignorant sometimes make that identification."

Mar 8 -  GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS


The Blessed Mother speaks of love to the prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo:


"Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see so many of you. I desire, dear children, that from today you begin to live a different life. Your Mother gives you her love and asks that you give this love to others so that we can all live the Easter message. When you return to your homes, conclude the day with prayer (Visionary Prayer Group March 4, 1989)

Of love, St. Peter writes:
Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Pt 4:8).


Reflection:
The message of love of neighbor reaches far back in our Judeo-Christian roots. The rabbi Hillel was a renowned scribe in Jerusalem about the time of Christ's birth; he seems to have died about A.D. 10 at an advanced age. He was called "the Great" or "the Elder," and his interpretations of the Law were more generous than others. He is said to have been the grandfather of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) who taught St. Paul. Jesus must have heard often of Hillel, and could possibly have spoken with him as a youth during the three days he remained in the Temple. Here is one of the tales Our Lord probably heard. A certain Gentile came to Shammai (Shammai was the leader of the more strict school of interpretation) and said that he would like to become a convert, but could not stay long in Jerusalem. "Can you teach me the whole Torah while I am standing on one foot?"

Shammai sent him away angrily. So the Gentile went to Hillel with the same question. Hillel admitted him as a convert, and said, "Whatever is hateful to thee, do not do to thy fellow man. This is the whole Torah, all the rest is commentary. Now go and study."


Application:
For reflection today: Love seeketh not itself to please, Nor for itself have any care, But for another gives its ease, And builds a heaven in hell's despair (William Blake)

 

Immaculee: “Valentine still gets private messages from Our Lady and Our Lord; last night she got a message from Our Lord.”

Valentine: “The message I have for you is, when I left yesterday I didn’t sleep last night, I have a program of prayers I normally have to follow daily that I was given by heaven. So, because yesterday we were busy, and I didn’t get time to do my prayers, I said them when I got to my room. Since I didn’t have much time to sleep, I was actually happy, because it gave me time to pray for you, and to think of you, and to thank God for this great work that is being done. So during my prayer, around 4:00 a.m., Jesus came to visit me. Immaculee will forgive me because in the morning she kept asking me if He came or Our Lady came…and I didn’t give an answer (laughs). He said this to me:”

Jesus: “My children I love you, and I want you to grow in love, I give you my love, do not have fear, do not have fear to pray, don’t have fear to talk about the one you love. Ask me; I will give you, my children I sent you my instrument, because I love you, and because I want her to keep you in prayer. My children, you are my family; pray a prayer that comes from the heart that shows in your action, in your behavior, and in your love that you show your neighbors. Always be ready, because you don’t know the day and time that I will come back. There will be miracles; there will be people who will do miracles in my name, the one who doesn’t pray will not understand. They will come; those who call themselves by my name, but if you remain in my love, you will be given light, you will know what is true and not. I want you to remain wrapped in the mantle of My Mother I love very much, because we never separate, where She is, I am also. Say the Rosary everyday it is your daily food for your soul and body, your daily protection and your spiritual strength. My children, I am love and I give you my love and I promise, I will never leave you alone.”

Valentine: Those are the words He gave me, and then I asked Him, that there is somebody who asked me if He ever gave me any message specifically for America?

Jesus: “Tell them I love you my children.” And then He asked me to sing this song, and He told me, “It is also a message”.

Listen to me little children,

I have given you a heritage of Love,

Make it your goal wherever you go,

Let it be your jewel that you wear day and night,

Do not let anything scare you.

Be good to one another, the other is a part of me as well,

And if the other is being difficult and pushing you away,

Call upon me so we can go together,

I promise you, after time, he/she will change come back in peace,

And if you find that you are the one being difficult, not being loving, call me to help you as

well, you are also sick. Do not worry, I have conquered and have enthroned love.

Valentine:

He told me to give you His message without adding or taking anything away; that is the message He gave me to give you.

Valentine: But from my heart, I want to thank you; to thank Immaculee who invited me to come here. There is a time I feel lonely, to be an orphan is not easy even though I have to remind myself that I am not alone, I have Our Lady and Our Lord. I do thank Immaculee, because she have been a true sister, and I thank you a lot also because now as Our Lady’s children, I don’t have a doubt that we are a family, and I promise to pray for you always and to love you. Please do pray for me, especially that I could be a good instrument to deliver Our Lord and Our Lady’s messages to the world. Please pray for me that I can guide the groups of the youth I have in my care in love. I ask you to pray that I am able to give proper love to my three children I have adopted and be a good mother.

And Valentine says in English “Thank you so much and I love you”.

"Repent of all your sins"


Dear Friends,


The First Prediction of the Passion


From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you. He turned and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do. (Matthew 16:21:23)

 

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

 

I knew that the Apostles would have great difficulty accepting that I would suffer and be killed. Peter expressed the thoughts of them all when he said, God forbid, Lord’™ They had accepted Me as the Messiah, the Savior and the Son of God so they could not imagine that I would suffer and die on the cross. That is why I had to predict My Passion and Death three times. They also had great difficulty in accepting that I would rise from the dead after three days.

 

My dear friends, I want you to believe that the main reason why I came on earth was to suffer My Passion, to die on the cross and to rise again. I offered the sacrifice of My life in great suffering until death for your salvation. In this way I could atone before My Father for all the sins that you had committed and will commit until the end of the world. No greater love does a man have than to lay down his life for his friends. That is what I did for each one of you because I love you.

 

My dear brothers and sisters, how do you look upon this sacrifice of mine? Do you truly believe that I suffered all this pain up to death for you? Do you accept Me now as your Savior? Yes, I was sent by My Heavenly Father to take on human nature and to come and live with you, so as God and man I could offer a fitting sacrifice for all your sins. See how horrible sin is that it caused Me so much suffering and death on the cross. Repent of all your sins by receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation and come follow Me.

"Love My church"

Dear Friends,

Peter's Confession about Jesus

When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Messiah. (Matthew 16:13-20)

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

"One day when I was in the north of Israel I asked My Apostles this question, 'But who do you say that I am?' It was Peter who answered inspired by Our Father and these are his words, 'You are the Messiah (the Savior) the Son of the living God.' His answer was perfect and at that moment I told him that he was the rock on which I would build My church.

When I was on earth I founded only one church and it is the church I built on Peter. So where you find Peter you have found My church. In the world today there is only one successor of St. Peter and he is the Pope of Rome. He has the title of successor of St. Peter because Peter was the first Bishop of Rome and he was killed in Rome and his remains are there today. The Pope of Rome is the only head of the church that I recognize because he has all the authority I gave to St. Peter.

I call you all, My friends, to be obedient to the Pope and to follow his teaching. Whatever he teaches is the truth and you are to accept it. Be an active member of My church and you will indeed be blessed. Love My church as you love Me."

"I call you to enter the Kingdom"

Dear Friends,

The Greatest in the Kingdom

At that time the disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me." (Matthew 18:1-5) 

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

"One reason why I came into the world was to inaugurate the Kingdom of heaven. You enter the Kingdom by receiving the sacrament of Baptism. Through Baptism your sins are taken away including original sin and you receive the life of God in your heart. I come to live in you with the Father and the Holy Spirit. You can lose your membership in the Kingdom of God by committing mortal sins but if you repent and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation you are reaccepted in it.

As a member of the Kingdom, it is important to believe in Me, your Savior, and to be a person of prayer. Another quality that is needed is humility. Proud people will be the last in the Kingdom but those who are humble will be the greatest in the Kingdom. Be humble as a child and you will be blessed in My Kingdom.

The Kingdom of heaven begins here on earth and it is perfected in heaven. By being a member of My Church and following the Ten Commandments given by Our Heavenly Father, you are indeed in the Kingdom of heaven and growing in holiness every day. Ask daily for the graces you need to follow Me for without the grace of God you will not succeed. I won these graces for you by My suffering and death on the cross so I desire that you open your heart to receive them every day. I call you, My brothers and sisters, to enter the Kingdom prepared for you and to remain in it forever. I bless you."

"I love you"

Dear Friends,

Love One Another

Jesus said, "I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another." (John 15:11-17)

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,

"I bless you, My son, and I bless all My children in every country of the world. Jesus, My Son, gave you all a commandment to love one another as He loves you. Come and read the Gospels and you will see what great love He has for you. He laid down His life for your salvation. He also said, 'No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.' Come, My children, and follow Him and you will bear much fruit.

There is too much self-pride among you and you are doing what is wrong by judging others. Be humble as Jesus was and be ready to forgive all those who hurt you in any way. The title I loved to call Myself was 'the servant of the Lord.' My only desire was to do the will of the Father every day. You too are called to be humble and to accomplish the will of the Father all the time. My Son Jesus came into the world for the same reason: to do the will of His Father.

I am praying for you that you will advance in holiness every day by following the Commandments of God and praying regularly. I love you and bless you."

"Believe in Me"

Dear Friends,

The Rejection at Nazareth

Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?" And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. (Matthew 13:54-58)

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying,

"During My public life I would go back to My home town of Nazareth now and then. When I was there on the Sabbath, I would go to the synagogue and often I was asked to read and to preach. The people also heard that I healed many people and they were astonished. They could not believe that I did all these things because they knew Me as I had grown up among them. At the end they rejected Me and would not believe that I had such power to do such things.

You know, My brothers and sisters, that I always asked the people to believe in Me before I would do any miracle. Without faith, I could not do anything. So I was not able to work any healings in Nazareth where I grew up.

Do you want Me to answer your prayers? I know you do. However, how can I answer them if you have any doubts about Me? What I ask of you is that you believe in Me with all your heart and not like the people of Nazareth. You know that I am human and you are right but I am also divine with all the power of God. It is with the power of God that I can heal the sick, raise the dead, give sight to the blind and make the lame walk. I did many such miracles when I was on earth. Believe in Me and I will answer your prayers."

"Live as children of the Father"

Dear Friends,

The Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat

Jesus proposed another parable to them. "The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?

Where have the weeds come from?' He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barns."" (Matthew 13:24-30)

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

"As the parable teaches you, I am the sower of the good seed in the world. Those who receive the good seed and bear good fruit are the children of God. The one who sows the weeds is the evil one and those who accept the weeds are the followers of the evil one. In the world today there are the children of God on the one hand and the children of the evil one on the other. The destination of the children of God is heaven forever but the destination of the children of the evil one is everlasting hell.

I am calling you all to examine yourselves to find out in which camp you are. You just have to look at your actions and you will know. If you have rejected Me and are now following the evil one, it is time for you to change direction. Come back to Me and leave your sinful ways behind. Repent of all your sins sincerely in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and I will take them all away and come follow Me.

I desire the salvation of all My brothers and sisters but you need to open your heart to Me. Live as children of the Father with the graces He gives you every day. In this way you will reject the evil one in your life and walk with Me, your Brother."

"By their fruit you shall know them"

Dear Friends,

The Parable of the Sower

On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear." (Matthew 13:1-9)

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

"I often spoke in parables to the people during My public life. These parables are timeless and can be told in any age. They are not difficult to understand. I am the principle sower but any person who evangelizes is also a sower. What is sown is the word of God or the word of the Kingdom of God. The condition of the soil is very important for the seed to grow.

It is the same with the word that is sown in your heart. What sort of reception do you give the Word of God? If you hardly have any faith, it will not take root in your heart and be discarded. If you are a person who is just curious, you might welcome the Word today and forget about it tomorrow. If you are a person that is taken up by the affairs of the world, you will not have much time to nurture the Word of God in your heart and it will die. However, if you are a person of great faith, you will welcome the Word with all your heart and you will produce wonderful fruit for all to see.

My dear friends, I want you to be brothers and sisters with great faith in Me. You have a relationship with Me, Your Savior, and My Words help you to grow every day in holiness. Live in a deep loving union with Me and nurture this relationship with prayer, the Eucharist and charitable acts. By their fruit you shall know them. I bless you all."

Father Melvin

"Dear children, In this special time of your effort to be all the closer to my Son, to His suffering, but also to the love with which He bore it, I desire to tell you that I am with you. I will help you to triumph over errors and temptations with my grace. I will teach you love, love which wipes away all sins and makes you perfect, love which gives you the peace of my Son now and forever. Peace with you and in you, because I am the Queen of Peace. Thank you."

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 11 - Monthly confession will be a remedy

 

 

"Today I am weak; I need a strength from on high to sustain me; and Jesus descended from Heaven; Jesus has become the Eucharist, the Bread of the strong!"

Augustine Maria of the Blessed Sacrament, (Hermann Cohen). 

 

 "Had I but Mary's sinless heart
To love Thee with, my dearest King!
O, with what bursts of fervent praise
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore!
O, make us love Thee more and more!"
(Fr. Faber)

The Cross is fire and reduces to ashes all that is not of God, unto emptying the heart of the smallest blade of grass that could be there.

Mother Teresa -

God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.

Everything that carries light is from God

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Some interior consolations are for infant souls. They are not signs of perfection. It is not consolations that are needed, but suffering. Aridity, listlessness, helplessness, these are the signs of real love. Suffering is pleasant. Exile is beautiful because by suffering we have something to give God. The gift of our pain, of our sufferings is a great thing, which we cannot do in Paradise (GB, 35).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Thy Will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.

"In contentment one does not submit before he has prayed and acted, but after one has done all he can, accepting the event as the will of the Lord."

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 11 - CONFESSION WILL BE THE REMEDY

Regarding questions on confession, the Blessed Virgin answered:

One must invite people to go to confession each month, especially the first Saturday. Here I have not spoken about it yet. I have invited some people to frequent confession. I will give you yet some concrete messages for our time. Be patient because the time has not yet come. Do what I have told you. They are numerous who do not observe it. Monthly confession will be a remedy for the church in the West. One must convey this message to the West (Special Message August 6, 1982).

Psalm 32 speaks of confession and its fruit:

Then I acknowledged my sin to you, And I did not hide my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"

And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to you; At a time of distress, the rush of might waters shall not reach them. Psalm 32L5-6)

Reflection:

A soldier asked a holy monk if God accepted repentance. He said, "Tell me, if your cloak is torn do you throw it away?" The soldier replied, "No, I mend it and use it again." The old man said to him, "If you are so careful about your cloak, will not God be equally careful about his people?"

To experience the joy of forgiveness is a great gift of God, but it requires that we let go of our guilt and truly believe that the Lord has actually forgiven us. This can be difficult when a sin has taken deep root and grown over many years, or if it is very serious or causes deep shame. Then we are in need of a special grace that will convince us of God's infinite mercy that remits all sin of whatever depth or kind. This grace puts us tin mind of the staggering price Jesus paid for our souls through his Passion and death, and almost impossible love that absorbs all sin, hurt, shame, and injury.

Therefore not to accept the Lord's forgiveness is to belittle or even ignore his Passion and cross, to say to him in effect: «I don't believe you. Your love isn't great enough to forgive this sin, to wash away my guilt. And so I refuse you." This is a self-inflicted exile that Satan always has a hand in.

Clearly it is much better to pray for the grace to realize God's forgiveness deep within ourselves, that we may be healed and set free.

Application:

As we see, the sacrament of confession is a great gift. If you haven't done so already, mark your calendar for your Lenten confession. Can you also schedule a regular day each month when you can receive the sacrament, as Our Lady asks today?

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 10 - Conquer some fault each day

 

"Go to adoration as one who would go to heaven, to the divine banquet.  Our Lord will give us audience of grace and love.  He is waiting for us.  He is longing for us." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)

 

The Cross is Light and undeceives me of the temporal and unveils to me the Eternal.

 

"Invite them all, men and women, of every class and degree, and compel them to come in, for this is the bread of life of which they all stand in need. This is the only bread the Church of Jesus Christ has at her disposal; a bread to satisfy all the longings of our souls, to unite them closely to Jesus Christ, to form into 'one body' and one community of brethren all those who sit at the same heavenly Table, so that breaking one bread they may receive the medicine that gives immortality" (Pope Pius XII).

 

Mother Teresa -

Faith in action through prayer, faith in action through service: each is the same thing, the same love, the same compassion. This is something that should encourage us and should be a strength for us, that we complete each other more fully

The works which please me most are the hidden works, because they are deprived of every human spirit.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Our Lord sometimes makes you feel the weight of the cross. This weight seems unbearable but you carry it because, in His love and mercy, the Lord helps you and gives you strength (CE, 21).

Companions of the Cross

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

No room for doom and gloom!

"Contentment has no kinship with fatalism which refuses to plan or act in the belief that nothing can be altered. It is such fatalism which characterizes certain Eastern philosophies and makes progress impossible."

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. 

Mar 10  -  CONQUER SOME FAULT EACH DAY

During Lent of 1985, Our Lady said to Jelena:

"I give you some advice: I would like you to try to conquer some fault each day, If your fault is to get angry at everything, try each day to get angry less. If your fault is not to be able to study, try to study. If your fault is not to be able to obey, or if you cannot stand those who do not please you, try on a given day to speak with them. If your fault is not to be able to stand an arrogant person, you should try to approach that person. If you desire that person to be humble, be humble yourself. Show that humility is worth or than pride.

Thus, each day, try to go beyond, and to reject every vice from your heart. Find out which are the vices that you most need to reject. During this Lent, you should try and truly desire to spend it in love. Strive as much as possible." (Locution Jelena & Mirajana February 20, 1985).

In his first letter, Peter also speaks of rejecting vices:

You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry…The end of all things is near, therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers (1 Pt 4:3.7)

Reflection:

Philip Henry, a 15th Century English writer, once wrote that, "Sins are like circles in the water when a stone is thrown into it; one produces another. When anger was in Cain's heart, murder was not far off," Recognizing our sins and the vices that produce them is not a pleasant task, yet it is the doorway to peace and holiness. The sacrament of confession is especially helpful in this.

In our examination of conscience we can go one step further to identify the roots of our sins. For example, the sin of lying may be founded in pride; sexual misconduct rooted in selfishness. Once we identify these roots, we can then take action to modify and eventually eliminate them for our lives, as Our Lady asks today; "Each day try to go beyond, to reject every vice from your heart."

Application:

When you prepare for your next confession, actually write down your sins and, next to them, the vice from which they come. During the sacrament itself, present both to your priest so that the Lord can begin his healing work within you.

"Let us fix our eyes on Christ's Blood and understand how precious it is to his Father, for, poured out for our salvation it has brought to the whole world the grace of repentance" (St. Clement of Rome).

 

The Cross is fruitful and gives birth to Grace in me.

"I fall in adoration at Your feet, Lord!
I thank You, God of goodness;
God of holiness, I invoke You,
on my knees, in Your sight"
(St. Ephrem of Syria).

 

Mother Teresa -

We could know all possible knowledge, and all of theology and all the things about God, but we would not be able to light a fire in the hearts of the people. We could just be uttering words, not living those words. That is why it is necessary for us that our words be the fruit of our life, the fruit of our prayers. " The mission of proclaiming Christ, through action or through words, is one mission, the mission of love and compassion.

A thousand external works are under a single internal work, because in the external works, the human spirit always plays its part

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

I know you are suffering a great deal, but isn't this, perhaps, the jewels of the Spouse (Letters III, p. 449).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

One who is truly content never broods

"Contentment does not mean immunity from trial, for it can know sighs and tears, but its feelings are never allowed to run into fretfulness. If it cannot have what it wants, it never broods over its disappointments but brightens them by sweet submission."

O incomprehensible and limitless Mercy Divine,
To extol and adore You worthily, who can?
Supreme attribute of Almighty God,
You are the sweet hope for sinful man.

Into one hymn yourselves unite, stars, earth and sea, and in one accord, thankfully and fervently sing of the incomprehensible Divine Mercy.       (951)

Jesus looked at me and said, Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy. If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity. Secretary of My mercy, write, tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near.      (965)

Today I heard these words: Pray for souls that they be not afraid to approach the tribunal of My mercy. Do not grow weary of praying for sinners. You know what a burden their souls are to My Heart. Relieve My deathly sorrow; dispense My mercy.      (975)

Mar 9 - YOU CAN GIVE UP A NUMBER OF THINGS

To the visionaries during the first year of the apparitions:

"If you are experiencing difficulties or if you need something, come to me. If you do not have the strength to fast on bread and water, you can give up a number of things. It would be a good thing to give up television, because after some programs you are distracted and unable to pray. You can give up alcohol, cigarettes, and other pleasures. You yourselves know what you have to do.

(The Gospa then kneels down, and with hands extended, prays to Christ.) My beloved Son, I beseech you to be willing to forgive the world its great sin through which it offends you." (First Years December 8, 1981).

St. John also speaks of the world and sin:

Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world; for all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches---comes not from the Father but from the world. And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God live forever ( 1Jn 2:15-17).

Reflection:

Worldliness is not limited to external behavior, but also affects us internally, within the heart. It seems to be characterized by any of three attitudes: a preoccupation with gratifying physical desires; craving and accumulating material things; or an obsession with one's status or importance.

By contrast, God calls us to restraint, a spirit of generosity, and to living service. To achieve these virtues---and their fruit of inner peace---Our Lady ask us to surmount our worldliness through acts of sacrifice. During Lent especially, we are encouraged to practice some form of self-denial as a gesture of love for God and to strengthen our spiritual lives.

Application:

If you have not already done so, choose a special sacrifice for the remainder of Lent, as the Gospa asks.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 08 - GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS

 

"With ever-living ardor, contemplate Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. Following His example, be ready in all circumstances to make yourselves instruments of mercy and communion. The secret of pastoral success is the crucified and risen Lord, Whom we adore in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. As you well know, in order to be eloquent signs of His love and instigators of His peace in all environments, everyone is first of all asked to cultivate an intimate and constant familiarity with Him. From intense participation in the Eucharist springs the spiritual energy needed to bring all projects of goodness to fruition." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)

The Cross suffered by you, Jesus Christ, freed me from the slavery of the devil and wed me to the Divinity with an indissoluble bond.

"I am one who came up out of Egypt, and pray God none of my seed shall return thither
. . . .  I fell in love with the Blessed Sacrament from the beginning—and by the mercy of God never have fallen out again . . . .  Out of wickedness and sloth I almost ceased to practice my religion . . . .  Not for me the Hound of Heaven, but the never-ceasing silent appeal of Tabernacle, and the sense of starving hunger" (J. R. R. Tolkien).

 

Mother Teresa -

It is very important that right from the beginning we simply live the gospel. Live the gospel in prayer; live the gospel in words.
You won't be able to give what you don't have.

ray for priests in order that they may be a light in the people so that, as the light rises again, the laity may be able to obtain light and see the errors they commit.

 

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

I understand very well, that your Calvary is becoming more and more painful. But remember that it was on Calvary the Jesus redeemed us, and the salvation of redeemed souls must be accomplished there (Letters III, p. 452).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

You cannot be indifferent and be content

"The Eastern World has struck on the secret of inner peace by suggesting that inner happiness is dependent on the control and limitation of desires. St. Paul said: `I have learned to be content with what I have' (Philippians 4: 11). Contentment is not indifference though the ignorant sometimes make that identification."

Mar 8 -  GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS

The Blessed Mother speaks of love to the prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo:

"Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see so many of you. I desire, dear children, that from today you begin to live a different life. Your Mother gives you her love and asks that you give this love to others so that we can all live the Easter message. When you return to your homes, conclude the day with prayer (Visionary Prayer Group March 4, 1989)

Of love, St. Peter writes:
Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Pt 4:8).

Reflection:
The message of love of neighbor reaches far back in our Judeo-Christian roots. The rabbi Hillel was a renowned scribe in Jerusalem about the time of Christ's birth; he seems to have died about A.D. 10 at an advanced age. He was called "the Great" or "the Elder," and his interpretations of the Law were more generous than others. He is said to have been the grandfather of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) who taught St. Paul. Jesus must have heard often of Hillel, and could possibly have spoken with him as a youth during the three days he remained in the Temple. Here is one of the tales Our Lord probably heard. A certain Gentile came to Shammai (Shammai was the leader of the more strict school of interpretation) and said that he would like to become a convert, but could not stay long in Jerusalem. "Can you teach me the whole Torah while I am standing on one foot?"

Shammai sent him away angrily. So the Gentile went to Hillel with the same question. Hillel admitted him as a convert, and said, "Whatever is hateful to thee, do not do to thy fellow man. This is the whole Torah, all the rest is commentary. Now go and study."

Application:
For reflection today: Love seeketh not itself to please, Nor for itself have any care, But for another gives its ease, And builds a heaven in hell's despair (William Blake)

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 07 - PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION

 

"In this vale of tears our life is a continual warfare.  We battle against
the enemies of our salvation: the world with its doctrine and example, our own corrupted nature, and the archfiend of human souls, who, the Prince of the Apostles [St. Peter] says, 'as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour' (1 Peter 5:8).  We receive many a wound in this conflict—as often as we succumb to temptation.  Great is our need of a physician, and our Physician is Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament" (Fr. Lukas, Etlin, O.S.B.).

 

"Return to me with all your heart"  (Joel 2:12).  "The love of the Blessed Sacrament is the grand and royal devotion of faith; it is faith multiplied, faith intensified, faith glorified . . .  Out of it there comes three special graces which are the very life and soul of an interior life: an overflowing charity to all around us, a thirst to sacrifice ourselves for God, and a generous and filial love of Holy Church" (Fr. Frederick Faber).

 

Mother Teresa -

Love until it hurts; it takes deep sacrifice to proclaim the word of God.

My sufferings took as if forms of light, and they placed themselves before the Lord as in an act of adoration. 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Therefore, don't fear at all, but consider yourself extremely fortunate to have been worthy of participating in the sufferings of the God-Man. So there is no abandonment, but love, and great love which God is showing you. Your state is not one of punishment, but one of exquisite love. Therefore bless the Lord for this, and resign yourself to drinking the chalice of Gethsemane (Letters III, p. 445).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

It's the ol' "bait and switch" in advertising

"Contentment depends upon the control of our desires. Advertising serves many needs but it has also made luxuries appear as necessities, and created a desire for goods which the individual cannot possibly possess in their fullness."

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 7  -  PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION

During Lent of 1988, Our Lady said to Ivan's prayer group:

"Prepare yourself for the time of Lent by renouncing something. During Lent I will need your help for the accomplishment and fulfillment of all my plans (Visionary Prayer Group February 1, 1988)

Ezekiel also asks us to renounce something—the spirit of sin:

But if the wicked turn away from all their sins that they have committed and keep all my statues and do what is lawful and right, they shall surely live; they shall not die. None of the transgressions that they have committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that they have done they shall live (Ez 18:21-22).

Reflection:

The concept of renunciation or penance often has a negative connotation; to give up something for Lent or Advent seems to be an imposition that no one welcomes. And yet the actual effect of penance is to set us spiritually free; we develop a greater desire for God and a growing freedom from material things---and thus peace begins to take root in our hearts. When we begin to live this interior freedom from exterior things, we begin rapidly in the spiritual life.

Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries, has written:

Once you embrace God, you let go of other things, because there is no room for them anymore. So the core issue is not giving up luxury or wealth; you have found something better when you have found God. God leaves no room in your life for other things.

For instance, a candidate for the Olympic swimming team will need to "renounce" smoking if he is to realize his dream of competing for the gold medal. When Our Lady asks a penance or sacrifice from us, it is so that we can win in the spiritual life, with its attendant gift of inner peace. The issue is one of liberation or freedom from material appetites that shackle us from embracing God more and more with our hearts.

Application:

Let us heed the Gospa's request today by renouncing (giving up) something special so that we can grow spiritually.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 06 - BE CONVERTED!

 

"The sacred host exposed on the altar gives my soul food for `admiration.' I admire my Divine Spouse in His humility but above all His love which has placed Him to be there" (St. Katharine).

The Cross prepares the soul for patience. The Cross opens Heaven and earth together, that is, God and the soul.. The virtue of the Cross is powerful and when it enters into a soul, it has the power to take away the rust caused by earthly things. Not only that but it gives the soul boredom, annoyance and scorn for earthly things, and instead it gives it the taste for Heavenly things. But the virtue of the Cross is recognized by only a few, that is why many despise it.

"Behold hidden within the Sacred Host, O my beloved Jesus, the virtue which I need above all others!  My soul thirst for charity: for that clear crystal water of charity which rests within your Sacred Heart as within a deep unfathomable well.  I come to drink at this pure and holy Source that I may be cleansed, and may be blessed, and may receive life from it, and light and love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

 

Mother Teresa -

You are to be that presence of Christ to each other.
Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.

Grace for him who receives it, is light, it is the way, it is nourishment, it is strength, it is comfort. And for him who does not receive it, it is converted into fire and punishment.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Firstly I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him at human sinfulness and, for this reason, He is leading you along paths filled with suffering, about which you tell me in your letter. But may His charity always be blessed; that charity which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory sufferings of life to eternal reward (Letters III, p. 417).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Where your heart is determines your worth!

"Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If desire is Heavenly, we go upwards, if it is wholly earthly, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues

MARCH 6 - BE CONVERTED!

The season of Lent has always been a time of repentance, conversion, and penance---a time for turning back to the Lord, renouncing sin, and beginning anew. This is the call of Our Lady today:

Be converted! It will be too late when the sing comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers and your penance.

My heart is burning with love for you; it suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be converted, be converted.

It is not difficult for me to suffer for you. I beg you, be converted. I will pray to my Son to spare you the punishment. Be converted with without delay. You do not know the plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not know what God will send, nor what he will do. I ask you only to be converted. That is what I wish.

Be converted! Be ready for everything, but be converted. That is all I wish to say to you. Renounce everything else. All that is part of conversion. Good bye, and may peace be with you (Locution Jelena & Mirajana April 25, 1983.)

Our Lady's message is echoed in the Acts of the Apostles:

In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that yours sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, this is, Jesus (Acts 3:18-20).

Reflection:

During this Lenten season, let us take the Blessed Mother seriously and seek conversion in renewed prayer, penance, and works of love. This will bring us great joy at Easter and a confirmation of the Gospa's words today: "My heart is burning with love for you."

Application:

During Lent, set aside extra time for prayer and works of charity. Be active in the special Lenten devotions of your local parish. Go the extra mile for Our Lord and Our Lady.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 05 - Significance of Ashes

 

"In the Eucharistic sacrifice, we bring the suffering of all our brothers and sisters who live in poverty and darkness to unite with the sufferings of Jesus on the cross" (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).

the bridle to the horse. What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle? The Cross tames him and restrains him. It softens him, pacifies him and leads him by the hand.

"The Eucharist is connected with the Passion. If Jesus had not established the Eucharist we would have forgotten the crucifixion. It would have faded into the past and we would have forgotten that Jesus loved us. There is a saying that to be far away from the eyes is to be far away from the heart. To make sure that we do not forget, Jesus gave us the Eucharist as a memorial of his love"  (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).

 

Mother Teresa -

You have a challenge from Jesus to meet:
He has shed the light, and you will take His light and lighten every heart you meet.

 Everything that is suffering to us touches Jesus

 

 Significance of Ashes

Ash Wednesday opens up this season of penitence.

"Remember, man, you are dust, and unto dust you shall return."

So says the priest as he makes the sign of cross with ashes on our foreheads. The ashes are made by burning the previous year's blessed palms. This is a vivid reminder of our mortal nature. We are bodies fashioned from dust. "Then the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being" (Gen 2:7). Our bodies were made from nothing, and will return to nothing when we die. Ashes are a symbol of this passing world, a reminder of our death.

The imposition of ashes is also a symbol of penance and sorrow for our sins. The practice of sprinkling ashes on one's head as a sign of penance was customary even in the Old Testament—in the Book of Esther, Mordecai put on sackcloth and ashes (Est 4:1); Job sat in sackcloth and ashes to repent (Job 42:6); all of Ninevah put on sackcloth and ashes to repent after Jonah's preaching (Jon 3:5-6). In early Christian centuries the imposition of ashes was only used for public sinners, but around the year 1000 popes and all faithful started to receive the ashes as a sincere and external token that we are all poor sinners. 

Ashes remind us of the curse from Genesis. After Adam and Eve committed the Original Sin, God expelled them from the Garden of Eden with these words:

Cursed be the ground because of you; in toil shall you eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the plants in the field. In the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, since out of it you were taken; for dust you are and unto dust you shall return (Gen 3:17-19).

The Church repeats these words as the cross is traced on our foreheads "Remember, man, you are dust and to dust you shall return." Thus this opens a theme that is echoed throughout Lent and then decidedly pronounced during the Easter Vigil. In the Exsultet, the Church rejoices in this Original Sin, because it brought the Redemption: "O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam, which gained for us so great a Redeemer!"

The liturgy of Ash Wednesday gives us guidelines for our 40 day journey. We pray for blessing upon our endeavors in the opening prayer at Mass:

"Lord, protect us in our struggle against evil. As we begin the discipline of Lent, make this season holy by our self-denial."

The Old Testament reading is from the Prophet Joel 2:18. Here the message is very clear: do penance, but avoid an outward show, "Rend your hearts and not your garments." Our penance should not be mere hypocrisy. It is an interior change that is more important.  

 Love is that which goes above everything. Therefore he who loves much, and not he who does much, will be more acceptable to God

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

There is a difference between good and evil

"Thus humility is the pathway to Truth and inner peace is grounded on the recognition of two dimensions beyond the flatness of the mass level: one is the recognition of the dimension of height, which is the Sanctity above, the other is the dimension of depth, which is the existence of evil within the human heart."

MARCH 5 - MAKE A SPECIAL DECISION FOR PRAYER

The Mother of Jesus urges us to pray as a defense against evil. To Ivan's prayer group:

"Dear children, your Mother warns you tonight that Satan is active in a special way these days. Do not allow emptiness inside of you, but fill this emptiness with prayer. Dear children, prayer is the best medicine these days to defend yourselves against evil. And so, dear children, make a special decision for prayer during Lent. Tonight I expect you to pray the Glorious Mysteries when you return home." (Visionaries Prayer Group February 19, 1990)

Fittingly, Psalm 54 is entitled, "Confident Prayer in Great Peril": But surely, God is my helper; The Lord is the upholder of my life. He will repay my enemies for their evil. In your faithfulness, put an end to them. With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. For he has delivered me from every trouble, And my eye has looked in triumph on My enemies. ---Psalm 54:4-7

Reflection:

As Our Lady tells us today, prayer is our chief weapon against evil. It is of such importance that she once told Jelena, the elocutionist, "I have nothing else to tell you, but pray, pray, pray."

In a sermon on prayer, Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, formerly assigned to Medjugorje, made the analogy that, "Just as we find ourselves talking to a friend for hours on end, so it is just as natural to talk with Jesus Christ." On problems in prayer, he suggests that, "If we are distracted or absent-minded in prayer, it may be that we are too far from God, too devoted to the world, and have not given enough time to seeking him in prayer."

He adds: "I therefore invite you to a continuous deepening of prayer. The Holy Spirit will enlighten you each step of the way and Satan will be completely disarmed."

Application:

Let's simply heed the Virgin's advice today: "Don't allow emptiness inside of you; fill this emptiness with prayer…it is the best medicine to defend yourselves against evil."

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 04 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!

 

 

"From the shedding of His blood, came our redemption.  From the beating of His heart in love for us, came the Blessed Eucharist" (Fr. Leonard Feeney, M.I.C.M.).

 

Your Cross St. Francis De Sales

The everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from eternity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost heart.

This cross He now sends you He has
considered with His all-knowing eyes,
understood with His divine mind,
tested with His wise justice, warmed with
loving arms and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you.

He has blessed it with His holy Name,
anointed it with His consolation,
taken one last glance at you and your courage,
and then sent it to you from heaven,
a special greeting from God to you,
an alms of the all-merciful love of God. Amen!

Mother Teresa -

Christ must be the light that shines through you, and the people looking at you must see only Jesus.

 

 It is necessary to empty yourself of everything in order to be able to be filled with the All of God.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio

 

Let us walk always, even with slow steps, as long as we have good intentions, we cannot but make progress. No, it is not necessary to be always attentive to everything for the exercize of the virtues.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Dare to be right!

"Mediocrity can be a terrific form of tyranny, and it has a thousand and one penalties for those who forsake the external standards for an inward change of heart to a line of conduct above the level. When a thousand people are walking to the edge of an abyss, the one who is seen walking in the opposite direction is taunted for not following the mob. We must be humble to bear up under these reproaches and dare to be right when the majority is wrong."

MARCH 4 -  JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!

The Virgin speaks to Jelena of the joy of salvation:

How can you not be happy? Jesus gives himself to you! I wish to fill the souls of all. But I am sad this evening, for many have not prepared themselves for Easter. Thus Jesus will not be able to unite himself to their souls on that great day (Locution Jelena and Mirajana April 14, 1984)

Paul explains salvation as a pure gift of Christ:

But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Eph 2:4-8).

Reflection:

St. Paul emphasizes that we do not need to live any longer under sin's power. The penalty of sin and its power over us were destroyed by Christ on the cross. Through him we stand acquitted, "not guilty," before God (cf. Rom 3:21-22).

Our Lady urges us to accept and rejoice in this gift of salvation. When someone gives you a gift, do you say, "That's very nice, now how much do I owe you?" No the appropriate response is, "Thank you." Yet some of us, even after we've been given the gift of salvation, feel obligated to try to work or earn our own way to God. But because salvation and even faith are pure gifts, our response can only be one of gratitude, praise, and joy.

Application:

Have we ever accepted, deep down, the gift of salvation? Today, pray that you may experience the awesome impact of this greatest of gifts, as Our Lady urges.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice

 

 

  "I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love."  (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)   

 

"In the Eucharist the Church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary, united with the offering and intercession of Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1370).


Mother Teresa -  


God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.

 Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to God


Meditations by Padre Pio -
Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.

 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen


Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right!


"Numbers become the measure of goodness. If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong. We have to change the Commandments.' The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not."

Mar 2    Thank you for each sacrifice


 
During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message:


Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86).


St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)

 

Reflection:
"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.
Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another. For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience. In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words. A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross.
In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold. For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.
Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious. I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.

 

Application:
St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist. On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice? For what intention can it be offered this week?

Thursday Adoration March 04, 2010

 

Walking as A Child Toward Jesus!

 

    Today I spent an hour alone with Jesus and His Holy Mother in adoration and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. Before saying a rosary to Our Lady I knelt and talked inwardly to her and I asked her to take my heart and replace it with the protection of your motherly mantle. Then I asked our Mother if she wanted to speak to me as I am hers. The Blessed Mother did speak to me saying; My child, there is so much sin n the world that the Lord our God suffers much. Please.pray, pray, pray! Pray that those who have lost their way will return to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

 
    Thank you for having responded to my call.

 

    Note: In the nearly nine years that I have been receiving messages from Jesus, this is only the second, perhaps third time that Our Blessed Mother has spoken to me.

 

 

After completion of the Five Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary, I sat with Jesus and my mind drifted back to that time so long ago when I was 6 ½ years old and close to death when I picked up the rosaries and prayed to God to spare my life. And when I saw graced with His spirit in my small bedroom.

 

   Then I prayed to Jesus, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens.  Jesus responded to my heart saying: Eileen My child, walk slowly toward Me, taking steps as a child learning how to walk.

  
    Know that I will be there waiting to accept you when you reach the end of your walk. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Solemnity of Mary

Dear Children,

Today I invite you as a family to pray with your Heavenly Mother for world peace. The world has entered into a New Year, a world which continues to live without God in their lives in many parts of the world. Many have abandoned their faith and have embraced the ways of the world. Sin continues to increase. Prayer is the medicine for all unconverted sinners. Little children, remain strong in prayer for there will be much more suffering throughout the world, and many will be affected by these sufferings. Pray with your Heavenly Mother and fear nothing for I am with you. Trust in my powerful intercession. Offer your masses, rosaries, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, frequent confessions and reading holy scripture for the conversion of the world. Do this daily, if possible. Do not abandon the call to holiness. I am praying for you as family and securing the path that will lead you to Heaven.
 
Pray, children, pray for all the evil in unconverted souls. Thank you for listening to my message.
 
 Our Lady’s words to me: My angel, offer your prayers and sufferings for the sufferings in the world."  I saw many people suffering and many people dying.

 1/8/2010

Behold, beloved of the Father,
 
 We the three Archangels bring you guidance from Heaven. Ponder all that we share with you
.

Beloved, behold the vision before you:
 
 The Archangels showed me the vision of December 7, 2009. Again I saw major earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, severe weather, hot and cold, the sufferings in the economy worldwide. I saw the seriousness of the calamities and pestilence that would continue throughout the world. The Archangel Michael said: Beloved, as sin increases, suffering will continue to cover many parts of the world. Many souls continue to live without God and thus ignore the warnings from Heaven. Pray and fast, beloved, asking the mercy of the eternal Father upon a world that continues to walk in darkness.
 
 I saw myself praying where there were very tall trees. Then the Archangel Michael said: Pray for Spain." Then he added: Also for Rome, Italy." Again no explanation was given as to why.
 
 Then the Archangel Michael said for me to look up into the sky and I saw the letters that spelled Revolution and these letters were surrounded by fire. Then St. Michael said to me: Beloved, pray and fast for all that we the three Archangels show you. You will suffer much as you pray and fast, but do not give up on prayer." The vision ended.

My child, My peace be with you on this day that celebrates this journey, this mission in which I have given you. My Blood flows My daughter and the fountain of My mercy is pouring out but I say to you on this day that much prayer is needed.

I tell you My child that the days, the hour is rolling ahead like claps of thunder and cities will become like deserts. An island in the middle of the Pacific will descend into the ocean as the earth continues to respond to the depth of man’ssins.

Repent My children! Repent for you have been given this extended time of grace to mend your lives and change your sinful ways. My words to My children are to pray, pray, pray for little time remains for your hour has now come. Heaven is warning you dear children for mercy and justice are becoming one through Us, your Triune God, for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

 3/5/10
5:35 PM

My child, I say to My children, do you not see that all will be accountable for themselves? I say to you My children you are given one life, one soul. Do you see My children you speak words but your tongues do not always have direction. You use your actions that do not always reflect Mine.

Each and every word you speak, each action that you possess is yours to be accounted for. No one will stand with you at judgment. Your neighbor cannot atone for you, only you can atone for yourself. Allow Me to posses your thoughts, guide your tongues and in turn your actions will be of Me.

Too many seek to look to the faults of their neighbor instead of the faults of themselves. I say to you that the devil may use the mind to trick the body to trap the soul. But it is I Jesus who speaks to the heart to drive the mind to do the will of your Heavenly Father to save your soul.

Now go forth dear children in love and action of Your Creator for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 2010 - CORE GROUP

MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

IT IS WITH GREAT JOY THAT I DRAW YOU FROM THE WORLD AND PLACE YOU IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART. AS YOU HAVE LONGED FOR THIS GATHERING, SO TOO HAVE I. I UNDERSTAND YOUR HEARTS AND I KNOW YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANXIETIES. DEAR SWEET CHILDREN, I AM YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL HELP YOU IN ALL SITUATIONS - TRUST MY IMMACULATE HEART. IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD THE FATHER, THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY CARE, ALWAYS UNDER MY PROTECTION AND FOREVER WITHIN MY HEART WHICH IS ENTWINED WITH THE SACRED HEART OF MY SON.

AS YOU YEARN FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM, I BRING TO YOU WHAT THE FATHER DEEMS NECESSARY FOR TODAY.

YOUR NATION IS FACING AN EVIL OF UNKNOWN MAGNITUDE. THIS EVIL IS KNOWN TO GOD AND SO HE SEEKS OUT THE FAITHFUL SOULS TO PRAY AND HIS ARMY TO DO BATTLE. YOUR NATION MUST RETURN TO GOD AND THE PROCESS IS THUS VERY SLOW. BUT EVIL WILL NOT WIN OVER THE HAND OF GOD. THOUGH HIS HAND HAS BEEN REMOVED TO ALLOW MAN TO SEE CLEARLY - IT SHALL BE ONCE MORE HELD OVER YOUR COUNTRY - THAT THERE BE NO DOUBT THAT THERE IS GOD WHO IS ALMIGHTY AND HE WILL FOREVER BE MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY EVIL. SO I SAY TO YOU TRUST, TRUST, TRUST. SO OFTEN YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN THE POWER OF GOD, YET YOU AT TIMES GIVE IN TO THE TROUBLES THAT SURROUND YOU. I TELL YOU TO PUT ASIDE ANY FEAR OR ANXIETY AND KNOW THAT WHAT I HAVE SAID TO YOU THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN IS TRUE AND IS FOR ALL TIME. IT IS YOU THAT IS WEAK, NOT GOD. YOU GIVE IN TO SO MANY WORRIES AND YOU FORGET THAT YOU WERE CHOSEN FOR GOD?S WORK IN THESE TIMES. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT THE WORLD YOU SHOULD HAVE SO MUCH CONCERN FOR, BUT THE STATE OF THE HOLY CHURCH - PUT YOUR HEARTS INTO THE TRUTH, IT IS THE TRUTH THAT YOU MY DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN, THAT SHALL CARRY IT INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH.

YOU ARE INDEED AWARE OF THE PAIN OF THE HOLY CHURCH. IT SHALL SURVIVE, BUT ITS WOUNDS SHALL BE DEEP AND TAKE THEIR TOLL. SO MANY ARE LEAD ASTRAY BECAUSE PRIESTS AND OTHERS HAVE FORSAKEN THE TRUTHS OF JESUS CHRIST. THE PEOPLE ARE NOT NOURISHED AND THEY SCATTER AS THEIR SHEPHERDS TURN AWAY FROM THEIR FLOCKS. MY SON KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE HEART OF EACH PRIEST AND HE WILL SHOW THEM ALL OF IT AT THE MOMENT OF DECISION. THE EARTH WILL QUAKE OVER AND OVER BECAUSE OF THE SINS OF THE PRIESTS. THEY MUST BE SHAKEN AND MADE AWARE OF THEIR DISCREPANCIES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME SO BLINDED BY PRIDE. SEEK AFTER HOLY PRIEST - THOSE I CAN CALL MY SONS. THEY WILL FEED YOU WITH THE HOLY EUCHARIST AND CLEANSE YOUR SOULS. THEY WILL BE YOUR STRENGTH AS THE CHURCH BEGINS TO CRUMBLE UNDER THE FORCE OF EVIL. BUT GOD?S HAND HAS ALREADY MADE READY THE REMEDY, AND THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL AND PERSEVERE WILL SEE THE CHURCH RISE ONCE MORE IN SPLENDOR AND IT WILL BE AS NEVER BEFORE.

MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE COME TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU HAVE ENDURED A TIME AS NEVER BEFORE. YOU FIND YOURSELVES AT A DISTANCE FROM ONE ANOTHER AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED THE COMFORT YOU FIND IN EACH OTHER. THIS TOO HAS BEEN NECESSARY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO STAY CONNECTED WITHIN MY HEART, DESPITE ANY AND ALL OBSTACLES. AS YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD TOGETHER THE UNITY WHICH HAS BEEN TESTED IN MANY, MANY WAYS, YOU WILL BECOME ONLY STRONGER. IT IS NOT THE BODY WHICH MUST ENDURE, BUT THE HEART AND THE SOUL. EACH HEART HAS BEEN KISSED AND EMBRACED BY THIS MOTHER, BUT EACH HEART AND EACH SOUL HAS BEEN EMERGED IN THE GRACE OF GOD. IT IS GOD?S GRACE THAT SHALL KEEP YOU AND STRENGTHEN YOU. YOU HAVE EVERY GRACE ATTACHED TO YOU, ONLY TO BE AWAKENED AS YOU PROCEED TO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. OH MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE BEEN FORTIFIED AND MADE READY FOR THESE TIMES WHICH ARE MOST DIFFICULT. YOU HAVE MADE READY TO FORGE AHEAD AND COME TO REST AT THE SIDE OF MY SON. HE KNOWS YOU, HE LOVES YOU. WHEN MANKIND WITNESSES THE GREAT ACT OF MERCY - THEY SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF MY SON. YOU MY CHILDREN ARE ASSURED OF THIS BECAUSE I HAVE REVEALED IT THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN. BE AT PEACE AS YOUR HEARTS CAN ENDURE. LET ME LOVE YOU AND CARE FOR YOU.

MY BELOVED PRIESTS-SONS, I VISIT YOU TODAY IN THIS SPECIAL WAY BECAUSE YOU ARE MY BELOVED SONS AND I LOVE YOU BEYOND COMPREHENSION. TO YOU I SAY, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO HOLD TO THE TRUTH. GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU IN A MOST SPECIAL WAY. NOURISH YOUR FLOCKS THOUGH EXHAUSTION IS INEVITABLE. YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO STAY IN GRACE AND OVERCOME FATIGUE AND INSULTS. THE INSULTS WILL COME FROM THOSE WHO ARE FILLED WITH PRIDE AND THINK THEMSELVES ABOVE YOU. YOU WILL BE LADEN WITH THE WORK OF SAVING SOULS, AND MY SONS, YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE GRACE TO DO SO. TRUST IS MOST IMPORTANT, EVEN WHEN YOU SEEM TO BE ABANDONED. NEVER WILL YOU BE LEFT ALONE. YOU HAVE ONLY TO CLOSE YOUR EYES IN PRAYER AND YOU WILL BE FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE AND MERCY. NOW TAKE UP THE CROSS AND BRING IT TO THOSE WHO LONG FOR SALVATION. I LOVE YOU MY BELOVED SONS, AND I CARRY EACH OF YOU IN MY HEART.

MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN, YOU TOO HAVE A GREAT TASK AHEAD. BUT YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MADE READY. AND SO I BRING TO YOU MY LOVE IN AN OVERWHELMING WAY. YOU ARE CRADLED AND BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU ARE MY LITTLE ONES GIVEN TO ME BY GOD AND I SHALL BE WITH YOU FOREVER.


I GO TO EACH OF YOU TODAY, AND AS I HOLD YOU TO ME, I BRING INTO YOUR HEARTS THE LOVE OF THIS MOTHER. MAY THIS LOVE ENTICE YOU TO RECALL ALL I HAVE PROMISED YOU, THUS BRINGING YOU CONSOLATION IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES. AND SO WITH THE GRACE GOD DESIRES FOR YOU THIS DAY, I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


MAY YOU GIVE PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD - NOW AND FOREVER.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 03 - PEOPLE RESUME THEIR BAD HABITS

 

 

 "Making reference to the Blood that flowed from the wounds of the Crucified Christ, especially from the wound in his side, evoke[s] the significance of the Eucharistic Sacrament. The Church 'de Eucharistia vivit' (lives on the Eucharist), because from that Blood she comes into being and draws vigor for her daily commitment to the task of announcing the Gospel." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)



The cross is to the creature as the bridle to the horse. What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle?
 

"Jesus in the Eucharist, we glorify You, above all, in union with Mary Immaculate, Queen of Heaven.  We offer You through her, her homage of boundless love and fervent reparation.  Yes, adorable Jesus, it is in union with her that we come today to praise Your infinite mercies; with her we wish to weep over
Your mystic agony in the Tabernacle where You are forsaken and saddened by the  ingratitude of so many!" (Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey).


 
Mother Teresa


The fruit of Silence is Prayer.
The fruit of Prayer is Faith.
The fruit of Faith is Love.
The fruit of Love is Service.
The fruit of Service is Peace.


Meditations by Padre Pio -


Don't be upset when you are unable to meditate, receive Communion or carry out all the pious practices. In the meantime, try to make up for this in different manner, by keeping yourself united to Our Lord with a loving will, with ejaculatory prayers and Spiritual Communions.

  
Archbishop Fulton Sheen


 It takes courage to follow your convictions

 
"Humility is required to challenge mediocrity; one must be ready to brave the taunts of those who knock anyone in the head who raises himself above the masses."



 
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. 


Mar 3 - PEOPLE RESUME THEIR BAD HABITS


The Blessed Mother was in tears when she gave this message to the visionaries:


"So many people who have been here, and have started to pray, to be converted, to fast, and to do penance, quickly forget when they return home, and resume their bad habits." (Special Message April 24, 1984)


Our Lady's implicit call to repentance is echoed by the prophet Joel:


Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, pass the night in sackcloth, You ministers of my God! Grain offering and drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God. Sanctify a fast, Call a solemn assembly, Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And cry out to the Lord. Joel 1 :13-14


Reflection :


Lent is a time for renewal and repentance, for turning back to God with our whole heart. Although we may have stepped backwards in our spiritual journey, now is the time to rearrange our priorities, to recommit ourselves to the Lord. Of this renewal, Pope Paul VI wrote :

We must aim above all at an inner renewal, a liberation from the mere following of conventions, a new departure in our way of thinking. More than anything else, we must lament our shortcomings before God, and the community of our brethren. We must renew the self-understanding each must have of himself or herself as a child of God, as a Christian, as a member of the Church. May our Lenten renewal reward us with a deeper share of God's love and peace at the feast of Easter.


Application :

Remembering Our Lady in tears, reflect on how you can deepen your spiritual life during these remaining days of Lent.

 Feb 25 7:15 am, luminous mysteries

I was finishing the 4th mystery : transfiguration when

Jesus: I transfigured at night,
          I became LIGHT
          I showed my men my DIVINITY

I did this prior to my Passion.
So again, this will come to pass
prior to your coming passion

I shall show you my LIGHT
THis great light shall shine, encompass
all men,
It shall be your last WARNING
If you still do not CONVERT
I can no longer save you (he was not angry but filled with longing and sadness)

Trust in ME
Trust in My MERCY
Souls that trust in My Mercy
I shall pour abundant graces - more than
  in any generation past (has been given)

I thirst for such souls
Hurry ----- Hurry ----- come to ME
Entrust everything to ME
I shall protect you
          enlighten you
          strengthen you
          empower you
          humble you
          mold you
          guide you
          use you to enlighten others
          decrease your self
          increase myself
          increase my gifts in you

*This illuminating light that will penetrate
through man's conscience -
let me describe this light a bit more. It is very
brilliant - maybe ten times the brightness of our sun -
It is bright white not yellow. Second, it does not
burn even if it is more brilliant. Third, I think and forgive
me if I'm mistaken it will be seen with our
spiritual eyes NOT our physical eyes. Fourth,
when it penetrates you, it is as if your physical body
is gone, it is just you as a pure soul that will be
bathed in this DIVINE LIGHT. This light is GOD. One will
enter and be submerged in the LIGHT OF GOD. I caught only
a glimpse of an experience of this but you will not be scared of it.
It is so beautiful and loving an experience. After, you will not have
a doubt that God is Love, God is Light and God exists.

Feb 28 sun 8 am, glorious mysteries

I prayed for people of Chile - esp divine mercy chaplet.

Jesus: Scientists were amazed at the scale of
this quake, but I tell you it will only escalate.

The great superpower USA lies to the North but it is
destined for greater destruction.
On the economic front, the stage has been set
by the freemasons decades past. They
are pushing thru with their plans to
create this great collapse. While some are now
waking up to this possibility, majority are lulled
into hopefulness that this great nation will rise up
and save itself still.

Yet it will shake on all sides as disasters strike it
from quakes, drought, tornadoes, famine,
plagues. It has been warned you before! Have my
people changed? have any gone back to ME?

Me: Lord, please give them more time, more
opportunity to know you. If you just come to them
the way you came and show yourself to me, I know more
will turn to you and change their lives. Precious blood
of Jesus cover the US with your protection esp my loved
ones and those that are in most need of your mercy.

Since you came to save us, and you came to show the
way, Lord, we implore you, we beseech you to give them
another chance to feel your loving mercy. Forgive them,
forgive us for we know not how much we offend you and how
often...

Jesus: My daughter, so much is needed -
prayer, sacrifices, transformations, just to delay
the just hand of my Father on this sinful nation. Offer anyway,
pray anyway, ask my Mother's help.

I'm praying and asking for extension.

Mar 1 Mon 8 am joyful mysteries

 6:30 pm at the altar

Me: Lord, sometimes, it is hard to find the joy,
when so much sadness all around.
So many sad news. more of my friends are
sick of their loved ones, sick with cancer, it has spread,
accidents, unusual sickness - my daughter caught some virus?,
my friend got chicken pox at 40+. My other married friend in
marital dilemna...then also i feel souls in purgatory asking more
prayers. My spiritual advisor, also noted more prayers being
asked of her by souls in purgatory...How do you get to the
state of Joy?

Jesus: Find joy in little things, the kiss of your
children before they go to school, the kiss of the sun
as you go out the door to work, the breath of air I allow
you to take!

Find joy deep within. Think of how far you have
travelled in your faith journey with me
and where you are now...(I used to just go to mass - I would
only pray when in trouble or I need His help but had
little in terms of a deep relationship with Mama Mary or the Lord-
now you could say I'm addicted to them and prayer is such a
natural part of my waking moments)

Find joy in anticipation of my promise that
the earth will be renewed!

Find joy in the little thing:. the rosy cheeks of your
daughter after exercising outside, her smile and her hug.

Find joy in her purity, see how her eyes are so honest
and clear.

Find joy in your companion, your husband who
worries so much when your children get sick
or worries when you do not get enough sleep.

So much this went on and on - until I was sort of
wrapped in joy. Joy in the future, joy inside, joy in my
family, joy in little things, joy about life/being alive. etc.

Me: thank you lord

"The Rock" Shrine of Our Lady of the Island, Eastport NY

Message from St. Michael the Archangel,

Has the Lord God, the Master of the Universe, received the attention of His children here on Earth? I am afraid not! For Lo and Behold, now the Great Shaking that has been referred to in both ancient and modern prophecies has already begun.

Here and there around the globe of planet Earth, the fragile crust upon which humanity resides is beginning to awaken as a result of the manifestation of all the cumulative evil and sin that has permeated the mantle of the Earth, since the beginning of the fall of mankind up to the current times that are so filled with the materialism, the greed, and the hubris of a society not in accordance with God’splan for humanity.

Therefore, a great correction is taking place now throughout your world that has become self-evident in the chaos and confusion of the planet’s geophysical changes that are erupting within the crust of planet Earth, as well as in the atmosphere surrounding the Earth, which is going through rapid changes now as a reflection of the activities of mankind; activities, not as they are being defined by many of your scientists, but activities of a negative nature, as a result of the leaders of your governments and institutions who are planning a global authority and control of all the inhabitants of planet Earth.

Their intentions are so opposite to the plans of the Father for His children that the Father in Heaven is now intervening and correcting the evil plans of these despots to return humanity to a proper course in fulfillment of the Father’sintentions for all of His children.

So now, it is beginning - the greatest transformation of the world in which you live, since the beginning of mankind. Prepare yourself now for the times ahead, for it will be a difficult time for those of you who are not attuned to the Father’sintentions for all of you. However, it will be a glorious time for those of you who have been living in anticipation of the Coming of the Father’sSon as predicted in the ancient texts and as promised to all of you by the seers of these modern times, who have been given specific instructions to prepare all of the Father’s children for the coming times that are ahead of you.

The Great Shaking of the Earth will continue to manifest itself in an increasing number of seismic events as well as in the fallout from these events - tsunamis, destruction of different geographical regions, and a sense of vulnerability to the fragility of your planet to be witnessed by an ever increasing number of you, particularly those of you who are living in fear of the future.

The Father in Heaven expects His sons and daughters to be courageous now as you venture forth through this difficult period, for many of you have been called to reassure those who are living in fear that the Father in Heaven is in charge. As long as you recognize and except His Presence in the events that are to come, you have no reason to fear the future, for the Father in Heaven has great love and mercy for His children, and those of you who are doing His work will be rewarded for your efforts, when the time comes for each and every one of you to be called home by the Father in Heaven.

So remember, first of all, that your life here on Earth is transitory; secondly, that you are here on this journey to serve the Father in Heaven; and thirdly, that each and every one of you has a responsibility to your fellow brothers and sisters to bond together in love, in prayer, and in sacrifice to survive during the difficult times to come.


Courage is required of all of you who are living in these times, for much is being asked of you. Cherish the times that you are experiencing now in your everyday activities, as you also prepare for the times ahead. Recognize that the mundane and frivolous activities of your daily lives must take an inferior position in the importance of your lives, because now it is time for you to focus on your most important responsibilities to your Father in Heaven and your Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

All of God’s children are being called now to recognize that the struggle of good versus evil is now becoming the most important issue facing planet Earth. It is during this time that the Father in Heaven is calling you to awaken to your most important mission in life, since He has prepared each and every one of you for this moment in time.

If you are still in doubt as to your role in these End Times, take the time now to pray and mediate to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, so that you may ascertain exactly what it is that God is personally asking you to do to participate in the taking of the planet from the forces of evil and transforming all that there is into the New Heaven and New Earth that the Father in Heaven is promising for all of His sons and daughters here on Earth.

For the time is coming now, fast and furiously, when all of you will be asked to make your stand with the Father in Heaven in opposition to all the evil that there is. Rest assured that when the time comes, the evil one will be exposed and the Children of God will be triumphant over satan and his minions here on Earth.

Grand is the plan of the Father in Heaven for all of you! Begin now to participate in your own personal mission to assist the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, for in these times the Holy Trinity will prevail over all of the evil and injustices in your world from this time forward!

Southampton Pines, East Quogue, New York

Message from Our Lady of Light

These are all signs of the times that you are in, and you must know that these situations and struggles will also pass over time, as the great stirring that I speak of becomes a great shaking that leads to a powerful manifestation of the Lord and Saviour in your lives.

Message from St. Michael the Archangel

From the four corners of the Earth, the Archangels will commence the attack against the dark forces of satan and the beginning of this final conflagration will begin very soon as witnessed by the Great Shaking that will envelope your planet Earth.

Little Sugarloaf Mountain, Sugarloaf Valley, PA

Message from Jesus of Divine Mercy

Now you must recognize within yourself that your impatience has served you well in that now you are fully aware that the events that you were shown to take place are beginning to manifest themselves in the very bowels of the Earth, and outwardly, as a Great Shaking that will begin to rattle humanity to awaken the rest of you, who have been in a deep sleep from the dark forces.

Therefore, there will be a great shaking and upsetting in the world that will bring about the manifestation of a new world - a New Heaven and a New Earth.

 Message from Jesus The Redeemer

 The time will come soon when all of this madness will be brought to a halt. There will be great changes for you during a great shaking up that will affect your economies and your resources. Those who have manipulated and controlled the economies for their own benefit will be stripped bare of their resources and exposed for their past sins. As a result, many will suffer from great losses to your economies and to your material assets of which many of you pride so dearly.

The Rock, Shrine of Our Lady of the Island, Eastport, New York

Message from Jesus of Nazareth

Do you recognize now that there is a strange wind blowing across the world in these times? Do you see how the world appears to be out of balance and more unstable than it has ever been before? This is because there is a Great Shaking going on within the consciousness of all humanity, which is preparing all of you for the times ahead. For we are already in a period of time of great change and transition and there are more great changes ahead for all of humanity. The world is now experiencing growing pains, and the planet is actually groaning from the weight of the sins of mankind that has been accumulating for too long now.

March 1, 2007, 3:00pm

The Rock, Shrine of Our Lady of the Island, Eastport, NY

Message from Our Lady of Light

During this period of time, the Earth will go through a Great Shaking that will be recognized by those of you who have turned your lives over to My Son, and you will survive these times with full confidence in the Lord, and you will recognize that you are being blessed even during the times that could lead to despair. These will be extremely difficult times for those who are still leading lives of materialism and greed for they will not be able to find the answers to the growing problems in their lives, unless they turn their lives over to My Son the Redeemer, who is so closely involved with the mission of each and every one of you, my Chosen Ones.

January 1, 2007, 2:00pm

TheRock, Shrine of Our Lady of the Island, Eastport, NY

Message from Our Lady of Light

This is a time in which the world is being shaken anew to usher in the Era of Peace for all humanity. It is during this time that I call upon you and all brothers and sisters in Christ to pray powerfully to usher in the Era of Peace around the world.

Pray for the leaders of the world who have not lost their way and who have not fallen into the trap of the secular majority of leaders for the time will come when certain leaders will be asked by My Son to lead the world back to the Church of My Son, and this time will come after the Great Shaking that will transform the world for the better in the future. This time will come for you in the blinking of an eye and in the not too distant future.

Fr. Stefano Gobbi: Save Your Children

  DURING a cenacle in the United States, a Marian priest, Father Stephan Gobbi of Italy, was asked how parents could save their children who had been led astray or were in danger of being seduced by the allurements of the world and false religions, led like little lambs to the slaughter as it were.

He answered:

PRAY the Rosary
EVERY TIME you pray the Rosary say:
"I bind all my children to the Immaculate Heart of Mary."

Our Lady "will see to their souls."

MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN


        CAN YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD?  FIRST HAITI WITH THE EARTHQUAKE AND NOW LAST WEEK CHILE WITH AN EARTHQUAKE.  THEY HAD SAID:  LITTLE OVER 700 PEOPLE HAD DIED BUT YET THEY HAVE NOT FOUND EVERYONE, THAT HAS BEEN BURIED UNDER THE RUMBLE IT WILL BE OVER 900 LIVES THAT WERE TAKEN DUE TO THE EARTHQUAKE. 

 

HOW CAN THEY PREDICT WHAT WILL OCCUR THEY PREDICTED THE TSUNAMI WOULD TRAVEL OVER 6,000 MILES AND HAWAII WOULD BE HIT WITH THE TSUNAMI.  AND WHEN IT DID NOT TAKE PLACE THE REPORTERS WERE SAYING:  IT IS THE EFFECTS OF THE TSUNAMI.  IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR A HURRICANE OR A TROPICAL STORM THE WAVES THAT WERE TO HIT BUT YET IT WAS MORE LIKE JUST A RAINY DAY.  WITHOUT THE RAIN, NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN EXCEPT GOD  OUR  FATHER SO DO NOT THINK THAT YOU WILL KNOW ANSWERS ON ANYTHING AS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS YES IS GOD OUR FATHER. 

 

IS THIS THE END OF EARTHQUAKES? NO WILL THERE BE MORE YES BUT I AM NOT TO REVEAL WHERE EARTHQUAKES WILL OCCUR BUT THEY WILL CONTINUE.  AND THERE WILL BE ALSO A TSUNAMI  THAT WILL DO DAMAGE

 

MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN

EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR MY SON JESUS CHRIST NEVER PUSH IT ASIDE IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY FOR HIM TO PUSH EVERYTHING ASIDE AND GIVE EVERYONE MIRACLES AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE KING HERE ON EARTH BUT YET HE MADE SACRIFICES AND HE MADE THE SACRIFICE FOR YOU, AND FOR YOUR SINS

 Friday 26 February 2010

Jesus:
Love Me, My little ones, I am in need of your love.  The Pain of these times are what I have Suffered for all time.  Never before has man been in so much darkness of sin.  Never before has man went against Me, in such a blatant way.
Come, children, listen to Me; listen to My calls for they are the calls of a God who Suffers greatly for the loss of so many of His children.  Come, children, listen to Me.  I, your Jesus, Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Wednesday 24 February 2010

Jesus:
My Love is yours if you are willing to take it.
Look, children, I give you the Gift of Life.  Are you willing to stop and look?  I have done it all for you; I have paid the Price so that you could have Eternal Life.  I Love you, My children, I Love you.

Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Wednesday 17 February 2010
Ash Wednesday

Jesus:
Come, little children of Mine, and I will give you rest.  Believe in Me and allow Me to show you the Sure Path to My Father’sKingdom.  Allow Me to be your Guide and allow Me to lead you upon this Path of Truth.
Come, children of Mine, and allow Me to be your God.
I Love you and I come in these Words to call you back from the danger you have placed yourselves in.
I Love you, come listen to My calls.
I, your Jesus, Love you.

Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Thursday 11 February 2010

Jesus:
Look only to the Truth and see the Ways of your God.  I do not lead My followers into darkness.  Those who know Me and believe in Me have peace in their hearts.  Come, children, follow Me in Truth and do not listen to the lies that are told of Me.  Read My Word (Scriptures) and see the Way that I Lived.  If you want to be a follower of Mine, you must walk in My Footsteps, even to the cross, for this life is only short - a preparation for the next - but you must decide where you want to be for eternity by the way you live on this earth.  I Love you, children, come follow Me.  I am to be found in the Truth.
I, your Jesus, Love you.

Patrick: Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Friday 5 February 2010

Look only to Love and do not allow anyone to take your peace from you.  Always seek Me in those that you meet and believe that I am with you for you are My Hands, My Feet and My Lips.  We, together, will overcome the darkness of this world.  We, together, will overcome the evil that stalks My people every day but you must believe and trust in Me for this is where the Power of Love is to be found.  Trust in Me, My people, trust in My Love for you and then you will see the things begin to change within your lives.  I Love you, come, believe in what I say.

I, your Jesus, Love you.

 Friday 15 January 2010

Jesus:
Come, My little ones, and see Me.  Do not look at what man does to My Church.  See Me and My Ways, children.  So many of you use the excuse of what man has done to turn your backs on Me.  Trust in Me, your God, and allow Me to show you the True Path.  My Love for you is great.  Can you not see what I have done for you?  I Died so that you could have Eternal Life.

Look at these lives that you live, they are so short.  They are only for you to choose whether you want to be in My Kingdom or not.  If you choose My Kingdom, then you must prove it by the way you live your lives.  Look, I give you the path back, will you accept it?  My Love is yours, little ones, come, love Me in return.
I, your Jesus, Love you.

Patrick: Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Wednesday 13 January 2010

Jesus:

Now, children, look at the Truth and see, do you want to know Me in Truth?  The decision is yours.  I come in these Words to open up the True Path to you.  Do not look for signs but simply believe in Me and I will come to you in the depths of your heart.  I will guide you back but you must be willing: you must be willing to deny self. 

Denying self is achieved by prayer and sacrifice.  Sacrifice is going against self, denying self the things that it really wants, those things that are not important. 

Fasting is also denying self for self many times desires more than is really needed; fasting is a form of discipline but this must also be controlled.  To fast one or two days a week is good but you must also be aware that self can become greedy for fasting and this can defeat what you are trying to do.  You must remember that the evil one will always be trying to divert away from the True Path.  There are many dangers on this Path of Truth but if you follow Me in the Ways of My Gospels, you will not be drawn away.  Trust in Me and trust in My Ways and, remember, I Love you always.

 Lenten Message from Jesus

LOVE ME ON THE CROSS, FOR THERE YOU WILL SEE THE LOVE THAT I HAVE FOR YOU
...I am the Resurrection and the Life; I come to you with Love; give it to My people.  Give them all My Love; show them the way to pray; My Prayer of Love is in you.  Respond to Me in the Ways that I taught.  Do not leave Me.  I Love you.  Where is the love in your eyes that I seek from you?  Come and be My child.  I long for you; I await you to come and be in Me; pray with Me - in this Lenten season - in the Garden; feel My Pain, feel My Anguish; place yourselves in Me and say with Me:
Father, not My Will but Thine be done in Me...  Monday 9 March 1992

Monday, February 15, 2010 (2nd Message?)

Jesus said: My people, you have seen much loss of life from the earthquake on Haiti because of the poor house construction. About the same number died in the large earthquake in Indonesia from a tsunami. Several smaller tsunamis have occurred recently with smaller numbers of deaths. The most loss of life in recent years from natural disasters has come mostly from earthquake activity. Earthquakes are an ongoing occurrence, and the numbers are increasing as well as the intensity. This vision of another devastating tsunami is just a matter of time, but it could happen at any time. The earth’splates are constantly shifting, and there is much activity all around the Pacific Rim. Be prepared with your early warning protection for tsunamis so people can be warned as soon as possible to get to high ground. These events are causing more and more food shortages, as the floods are destroying warehouses and the land to grow crops. Pray for My help for those who could suffer destruction of their homes and food supplies.

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Jesus said: My people, I have talked to you much about the things people knew about in My day in the form of parables, so they could start to understand the parallels of their physical life with their spiritual life. In today’sGospel I warned the people to avoid the leaven or yeast of the teachings of the Pharisees and Herod. Their deeds were done for show, but their hearts were far from Me. Then I reminded My apostles of My leaven or teaching as I multiplied the bread and fish for the 5,000 and the 4,000. I took what little they had and I made enough food available for everyone to have some with even a surplus of twelve baskets and seven baskets. This multiplication of food and shelters will be provided again at My refuges. I also multiply My Presence in the bread of Holy Communion. In the vision people tie up their boats at the dock so the boats do not wander off, and they are protected from the storms in the safety of the harbor. This is symbolic of how I want you to be tied to Me in faith in the safety of My protection from the demons who are tempting you on the sea of life’. By staying in the harbor of My grace, your soul can remain pure and free of sin. I am also like an anchor that keeps you from drifting away into sin. I want to keep you in My sheepfold so I do not have to seek you out as a lost sheep. When you are detoured by the world’sattractions and curiosities, as well as comforts and desires, then you are risking the loss of your soul in hell. By returning to Me in Confession or holding fast to Me in your daily prayers, you can follow the narrow road to heaven. Prepare to improve your spiritual life with your coming Lenten devotions.

Jesus said: My people, some refuges will not only be shielded by My angels from sight, but they will be built behind hills and in out of the way rural areas. Even when planes and helicopters go over these refuges, they will not be seen. I will protect My faithful from the evil ones at My refuges in miraculous ways. When you are there, your living conditions will be more rustic with few of the comforts that you are used to today. Preparing food, bathing, bedding, and any entertainment will be more of a chore as in older days with little, if any electricity. Your living conditions will be more like living in a monastery where prayer and worship of Me will be your focal point. This will be a penance and spiritual preparation for your coming to heaven. You are tomorrow starting another Lenten Season that is focused on more prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Use each Lent to purify your spiritual life, and be prepared at any time to leave for My refuges.

Wednesday, February 17, 2010: (Ash Wednesday)

Jesus said: My people, as you receive your ashes today, let this be a beneficial Lent in helping your spiritual life. Not everyone honors this time as a chance to purify your soul with self-denial and penances. You may have chosen to do some extra prayers or give something up during Lent. In all that you do for Lent, bear your suffering in silence without complaining of any of your fasting. As you offer up your prayers, fasting and alms to Me, let your weak family members or friends be your intentions to help their faith to be saved. You all need to help each other, not only in worldly needs, but in spiritual needs as well. Be persistent in your prayers and do not give up on any soul, regardless of how sinful that person may be. You may not know it, but they may be searching, and you could be the beacon of faith that they are looking up to. You have seen even how anxious the souls in heaven are to help their loved ones here on earth. So as you are trying to improve your own spirituality, keep working to evangelize all souls, and especially your own family members.

(Hunter Resch Funeral Mass) Jesus said: My people, the readings and songs, that were chosen, were well chosen for a child’sfuneral. I truly love the children and cared for them even when I was on the earth. I have told everyone that you need to have the innocent faith of a child if you wish to enter heaven. I also frowned on those people who abused My little ones, especially by killing them. Many people, that have abortions, do not realize that they are killing their children, and this action is just as serious a crime as if they killed a child already born. Every soul has to make an accounting of their actions before Me at their judgment. But let Me be the judge and do not judge people on your own. Pray for the family that has had to endure this hardship of the loss of this young boy.

Jesus said: My people, you are starting another Lenten Season on this Ash Wednesday. One of your Lenten penances is almsgiving or donations to the poor and needy. When you tithe ten per cent of your income to charity and support of My Church, you are storing up real treasure in heaven. Some people place more trust in their riches than they do in My helping them through prayer. They think that gold, money, and stocks are going to provide them food and all of their needs. These things of the world can be stolen, lost, or lose their value, and then what will you rely on for your survival. Put your trust in Me and I will never let you down, especially once you come to My refuges. During Lent you can give your prayers and time to help people spiritually, as well as physically with money donations. Keep your focus on Me in retreats and your Lenten devotions, and you will keep close to Me in your souls. Giving up something that you like to do is another penance along with your fasting that can help you fight against sin by training the body to keep its desires under control. Be persistent throughout the whole of Lent in your chosen penances so you can have more self-control in dealing with your temptations.

Thursday, February 18, 2010

Jesus said: My people, today’s first readings from Moses directs your attention to Choose Lifewith God instead of the world. I have told you before that every action is either a choice for Me or for yourself. This choice of Moses is a life commitment which means that you want to be focused on Me down the narrow road to heaven, rather than following the devil down the broad road to hell. When you get to your judgment, there will be no excuses as you will be the only one to blame for your sins. I love all of My people and I will have mercy on your souls, but still there will be an accounting for all of your actions. As you are starting Lent and you still have not decided on what extra penances that you would like to perform, now would be a good time to think about what you could do. Just as I went off into the mountains to pray, taking some extra time for prayer is always gratifying for your soul. Your life is a faith walk full of opportunities for graces in correcting your own life, and helping to evangelize others in their spiritual lives. The more souls, that you can bring to heaven, are the more souls that are saved from going to hell. Saving souls is one of your most important goals in life, and your reward in heaven will be great.

Prayer group:

Jesus said: My people, your Federal government and State governments are spending money way beyond reason, as if your economy was fully financed. In your home budgets when your income is less, you are forced to spend less to avoid bankruptcy. Unfortunately, your governments are spending more instead of less. Your recession is still having effects on your economy, and your unemployment rate is still high, which is why less taxes are being collected. Your elected officials are afraid to reduce spending and raise taxes because it is an election year. If nothing is done, your country and your states will go bankrupt. Already Social Security and your health programs are spending more than what is being collected for that purpose. Pray that your Congress people will make the right choices before everything collapses under the weight of your overextended debts.

Jesus said: My people, this latest destruction of a government building fortunately did not result in a lot of deaths. Some people are going over the edge of reality in expressing their frustrations with the latest job situation and poor economy. Many of your jobs have been taken overseas and will not return. Other cheap labor is being brought into your country. It is the rich and heads of corporations who are to blame for seeking cheap labor at the expense of your own workers, yet they are charging the same high prices for their products. If your people cannot stop this flood of jobs out of America, very few will be employed. It is your corporations who are running your governments and stripping your people of living wages and jobs. Pray for more justice in this employment problem, or you soon will be taken over by the one world people.

Jesus said: My people, your church laws have been relaxed considerably in respect to mandatory fasting. In older days you were supposed to fast between meals, but now some still fast on their own as part of their Lenten devotions. I have mentioned before that prayer with fasting is more powerful toward your intentions than just prayer alone. Offer up all of your prayers and fasting to Me for the benefit of souls who need to be saved from their sins. See the value of daily prayer which could be carried on all year long. Some even attend daily Mass during Lent which also gives you more graces. Be faithful to your chosen Lenten penances.

Jesus said: My people, your leaders are carrying on their own agenda without any hearing from the rejection of your people. Certain politicians have been voted out of office for going against the people’swishes. Some talk of change, but their actions have been the opposite of what they said they would do. There is a sense of reversal in your previous voting that is showing an independent feeling that is against the two parties in power. If America does not take back control from your corporations and special interests, then you will soon be taken over.

Jesus said: My people, your world is becoming more evil with every year. As you see the tribulation coming, there will be more open persecution of Christians. You are honoring how I suffered at the hands of men when they scourged Me and crucified Me. Many of My faithful will be suffering also at the hands of the one world people. But I will protect My faithful at My refuges for those who follow My instructions promptly. Keep your souls pure with Confession and hold Me close to your heart as you seek to follow My laws.

Jesus said: My people, I thank you for your prayers tonight as you honor Me in Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament. During Lent you are thinking more of praying the Stations of the Cross and being more fervent in your prayers. One thing I would ask is that you sincerely carry out your penances for love of Me and your neighbor, and not just to go through the motions for show. Many start with the ashes and good intentions, but within a short time they have forgotten why they were doing these devotions. Focus on being true to Me and true to your initial fervor, and you could profit spiritually from your efforts.

Jesus said: My people, some of your older traditions have changed in your churches during Lent. There still are Stations of the Cross, soup suppers, and other Penance services, but some outward signs, as your coverings, are not always giving you the sense of Lent as you knew it. You have more liberties now in doing your own devotions, so use your opportunities to grow in your faith with special spiritual readings, retreats, and daily Mass to help you. The more you put into your Lenten devotions, the more you will benefit in My graces for you.

Friday, February 19, 2010

Jesus said: My people, in this Lenten Season you need to look at how you spend your time and try to focus more on doing things for Me and your neighbor than just for yourself. It is not sinful to desire some entertainment, but do not let games or other pastimes so occupy your time to the exclusion of everything else. Some games and gambling can become addicting. So when you see that you have some games that are controlling you, it would be better to avoid such time consumers. You need to be in control of what you do so you can apportion your time for Me, your needs, and then your entertainment. There are many people that could use your time to help them in their needs. First, you need to make time for others in your life, and make that a priority in your decision making. Second, you also need to give Me time for prayer, since you should be doing everything out of love for Me. If you so occupy your time filling your own agenda, then you will not have time to do the mission that I have chosen for you to accomplish. I have very few prayer warriors, and I need My people not to forget their responsibilities for the many souls that they are praying for. By keeping your priorities in focus on My mission, then you will see why it is so important not to waste time on your frivolous desires and things that are of little concern.

Jesus said: My people, many Southern and Mid-Atlantic states have been experiencing record snowfalls and colder than usual temperatures. As a result, some are having more doubts about global warming. Your measured world temperature has dipped a little, but the longer average is on the rise. When your average temperature increases, it puts more moisture into the atmosphere as precipitation. Any increase in heat would also cause more violent weather. An increase in violent weather could also be enhanced by man-made microwave machines. The HAARP machine could also be used to cause earthquakes that are happening more frequently. Be prepared for more violent weather which is also an end time sign. Ask My protection from such violence, and call on My help for those who are suffering from your current natural disasters.

Saturday, February 20, 2010: (Phyllis Tripi Funeral Mass)

Jesus said: My people, you are in the middle of Lent and you are leading up to the feast day of Easter that celebrates My Resurrection. Today’s Gospel (John 11:25) quotes My words: I am the Resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me, shall never die.This is My promise to all of My faithful that on the last day you will be resurrected body and soul to be with Me in heaven for all eternity. This is what is promised today to Phyllis who was the matriarch of this family. Many gave witness of her physical strength and her spiritual strength. Her reward will be great with Me in heaven.

Jesus said: My people, just as I provided food for My people wandering in the desert, so in this modern day exodus to come, I will provide food for My faithful at My refuges. In the desert I had quail come up and land in the camp so they had meat to eat in the evening. Then in the morning I gave them bread in the manna that they had to collect on the desert dew. As you are brought to My refuges by your guardian angels, I will give you the bread of Holy Communion in the morning. If a priest is not present for a Mass, My angels will give you My Holy Bread on your tongue. Later in the day, you will have deer come into your refuges and you will need deer knives to provide the meat for My faithful. Not everyone will like the taste of this meat, but unless you have other animals for meat, you will have to accept the food given to you. Some may want to try some venison to get used to this kind of meat. Be thankful that you have multiplied shelters, food, water, and protection by My angels.

Jesus said: My people, on this First Sunday of Lent you are just starting out following in My footsteps on your way to Calvary, and eventually to celebrate My Resurrection on Easter. You may endure some fasting between meals, abstinence from meat, and any other penances, but you can offer them up along with My ongoing suffering on the cross. Americans know little about suffering, but you are enduring high unemployment and a poor economy. The people in Haiti are truly suffering, and I thank all of those people who have helped them, or are still helping them. Forty days of Lenten suffering seems long at first. You need spiritual endurance to help people, and this struggle during Lent will help cleanse your soul. I am not asking everyone to be a martyr, but let your daily trials be a means of sharing your pain with Me. Spiritual cleansing by Confession and acts of self-denial are a huge help for your weaknesses to sin. Keep focusing on perfecting your soul so you are constantly prepared to meet Me at your judgment every day, because you do not know when I will call you home.

Monday, February 22, 2010: (Chair of St. Peter)

 Jesus said: My people, at one point I asked My apostles: (Matt. 16:13-19) Who do you say that I am?Simon Peter answered and said: Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.Then Jesus answered and said, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar Jona, for flesh and blood have not revealed this to thee, but My Father in heaven. And I say to thee thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give thee the keys of the Kingdom of heaven; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven, and whatever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.This is when I gave authority of My Church over to the first pope, St. Peter, and I also was instituting the sacrament of Penance where you could confess your sins to the priest. All of My faithful need to acknowledge that I am the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity and that you accept Me as Master over your life. For I have created every soul to know, love, and serve Me. If you are to be My true disciples, then these are your commitments. The smoke, that you see in the fire, represents the smoke of Satan who is always trying to destroy My Church. Beware of those who are trying to mislead you against My teachings. Especially do not follow anyone trying to teach you to follow New Age principles which will be causing a division in My Church. But My faithful remnant will prevail over a coming schismatic church.

Jesus said: My people, you go about your entertainment, as with this outdoor pool table, and then some unusual weather events upset your plans. A few inches of snow can be a little unexpected, but when some areas get several feet of snow, it could be a disaster. Some of these areas are receiving twice as much snow as their normal amount for the whole season. Many records for snow and cold are being set this winter. Some people are already complaining that they have had enough winter, but you still could get snow into April. Be patient and let this weather be one of your Lenten penances that I asked you to bear quietly. As you prepare for your next trip, pray for safe travel and a peaceful conference.

Tuesday, February 23, 2010: (St. Polycarp)

Jesus said: My people, part of your Lenten devotions are prayers for various intentions, and this is why I gave all of you My Our Fatherprayer. When you pray, it would be proper to pray for things according to My Will instead of what you desire. It was said in the Gospel that My Father knows your needs before you request them. Every prayer is answered, but sometimes the answer is no if it is not in the best interest for souls. I am always looking at the big picture of how I can best help you. Sometimes I allow suffering because it is humbling and good may come out of it, if it is offered up as redemptive suffering for souls. In the Our Fatherit speaks of your daily bread, or your food to sustain you. You have physical bread for the body, but I also feed you Myself in the Spiritual Bread of Holy Communion. This is the Bread that I said if you eat, you will have eternal life. I give you Myself freely and you can share with Me intimately at daily Mass and at Adoration. Give praise and thanks to Me for all that I provide for your daily living, both for the body and the soul.

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: My people, you all are in the world and you are tempted every day by the demons. This cross that you saw in the vision is your protection in wearing the Benedictine Cross or the cross that contains part of My original cross. The exorcism medal is a protection from evil, and you can call on My Name, Jesus, and the evil ones will leave you. Trust in My protection even amidst these demon attacks.

Jesus said: My people, Juliet has been under pressure in arranging this huge conference, but she has seen how I have helped her through My Christmas Novena. Pray continuously to My Santo Nino image or statue and I will continue to protect this conference and make it a success. Your intentions of repentance and saving souls is an appropriate theme for Lent. Trust in Me and have faith in Me, and all of your prayers will be answered.

Jesus said: My people of America, I know many people are out of work and depending on unemployment insurance. Your lawmakers are voting on extending this safety net, but it is difficult to expect the government to increase jobs when this is not their function. Companies are still cutting back, and it is difficult for employers to hire more when your tax laws and your economy are so full of uncertainty. Your people need to repent of their sins and have faith in praying to Me for more jobs to be created. You need stable laws and stable banks before your jobs can increase. You are being tested as a country, and you need to pray more on your knees to change America back to its former ways.

Jesus said: My people, more U.S. troops are leaving Iraq and some are going to Afghanistan. It is always difficult to know if these wars on terror are having any long term effects. It is good that you are keeping your word in leaving Iraq. What will be left behind will still allow a haven for terrorists, but they could go to any country that they choose. Having an exit strategy is needed for both these wars because they are running up your National Debt even now. Pray for peace in these countries because constant killing has not solved any problems there.

Jesus said: My people, many of your small banks are in jeopardy of being closed, as many are on a watch list. Your big banks have been bailed out by your taxpayers because you were told that they were too big to fail. Yet your central bankers are willing to close smaller banks so there are only a few large banks left. This closing of small banks has left Canada with only three large banks which puts control in the hands of a few. Pray that your small banks survive because these were helping your small businesses the most.

Jesus said: My people, you are just in your first week of Lent and you are seeing how difficult it is to fast between meals. When you think fasting is too hard, just think of those who do not have any food, and how they are suffering through fasting without a choice. Fasting is a way to train your body to be obedient to the desires of the soul. Do not give in so easy to the hunger of the body, and especially to desserts for those giving these up for Lent. Be strong in your Lenten efforts because your soul will benefit in fighting off sinful temptations.

Jesus said: My people, I have told you that when you come to My refuges, you will be living more of a monastic kind of prayer life. Even when you come to Adoration to pray in silence, I have asked you to practice some contemplative prayer when you are not reading or praying your prayers. Just be quiet as you gaze on My Host, and give Me an opportunity to talk to your heart. In order to listen to My words, you need to be silent without any distractions occupying your mind. Pray to Me to take away any demon of distractions that is trying to keep you away from Me. Satan wants to keep you busy with confusing noisy environments because he knows that it is difficult to hear My voice through your worldly chatter. Once you have experienced quiet contemplative prayer, you will desire it more often.

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Jesus said: My people, in the Old Testament you remember how Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and brimstone for their unforgiving sinful lifestyles. Today, you are seeing in the first reading how I relented of the destruction of Nineveh because they repented and put on sackcloth and ashes. These are My examples of justice and mercy. You also have a gift of the Holy Spirit called fear of the Lord which is really a fear of going to hell for wrongdoing. There are two ways to avoid going to hell. The first is more desirable in that you want to love Me and not offend Me by sin. If you really love someone, then you would work to do everything out of love for that person. So it is by loving Me and your neighbor that you will then be worthy of heaven. St. Paul said without love, all that you do is as nothing. The second way to heaven is to do things so you will not be judged to hell. Fear of hell is a real concern since I have shown you how people in hell in their soul bodies are ugly, have a constant burning of flames, are tormented by the demons, and most of all they will not see My face or love again for all eternity. Seeing how souls suffer in hell should be an incentive for My evangelists to bring as many souls as possible to heaven so those souls can avoid hell. But do not deny either of these ways to heaven out of love or out of fear of hell. If you focus on loving Me and your neighbor, then you know that I will save you from hell.

Mary said: My dear parents, this scene in the vision of when I was miscarried and died, was a very traumatic moment for my mother. I want to greet my parents and my sisters because I am up in heaven with David, my brother, who also died after a short life. We are praying for all of you up here. You often wondered what was causing the strange noises upstairs as if someone was walking upstairs. This is where I died and I was giving you some signs, but you did not connect this with my death. I was happy that you asked for my name and honored me at Norbert’s farm. You could honor me even more if you could frame this message with my name Mary Learyand place it next to my brother David ‘s picture. I know this message may be difficult to hear and understand, but I have been waiting for the right moment to share my feelings of love for all of you. Remember us as your children who are always ready to intercede for you in your prayers. David already has brought about some beautiful miracles. So when you pray to David, think of me also.

Jesus said: My people of this conference, I am bringing My Blessed Mother with Me as you adore Me and honor her in our two hearts that are portrayed in the vision. Our love goes out to all of you as you are blessed with hearing your gifted speakers and the Betania Choir. Open your hearts to our two hearts as you dwell on the theme of Reconciliation. There will be confessions so you can truly reconcile your sins and restore graces to your souls. You have started your conference with a beautiful Mass because I am the focus of all that is holy. Remember during this conference to pray your rosaries and make time for Me at your Adoration hours. Again we in heaven are all happy for you, as you are all joined together in prayer, worship, and song. As you see My Santo Nino image, I also want you to pray for the success of this conference and that all debts will be covered by the generosity of your faithful supporters.

Jesus said: My people, in your homes you usually throw your scrap paper into your waste baskets. After a while your baskets get full and you need to empty them so the garbage trucks can take away all of your trash. If you did not empty your trash, you would be inundated with piles of paper. In the spiritual world your souls are collectors of your sins. Your souls also get filled up with your sins, and they need to get cleaned out by going to Confession. The priest cleanses your soul by his absolution in Confession and I forget your forgiven sins. Once you have your sins cleansed, then I can fill your soul full of My graces. The emptying of your full baskets is parallel to emptying your soul of your sins. Keeping your soul clean and pure is even more important than keeping your room clean. Encourage your family and friends to go to at least monthly Confession, and you can encourage them to keep pure souls.

Jesus said: My people, this mountaintop experience on Mount Tabor was a prefigurement of My coming Resurrection. My apostles were graced with seeing Me in all of My glory with Moses and Eliziah. Some say you do not have many mountaintop experiences on earth, but in reality, you are with Me as I was on the mountain every time that you come to Holy Communion or visit My Blessed Sacrament. Rejoice in My Real Presence because I have left you My greatest gift of Myself in My Holy Eucharist. I am always at your side when you call on Me, and I am in your midst where two or more are gathered.

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Jesus said: My people, I criticized the Pharisees and the priestly class for seeking places of honor and not practicing the words that they taught the people. All of you today need to be careful so you are not hypocrites as well, so that you practice what you preach. Obeying My Commandments is one of your first steps in following what I taught through the Scriptures. The other lesson in today’sGospel is about the sin of pride and how you should practice humility instead. When life’sthings do not go according to your expectations, do not get angry over things that you cannot change. Accept life as it happens and do your best to change the ba[Fr.

"Live as children of the Father"


Dear Friends,

 

The Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat


Jesus proposed another parable to them. The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?He answered, An enemy has done this.His slaves said to him, Do you want us to go and pull them up?He replied, No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barns." (Matthew 13:24–30)


We had a very wintry day yesterday. It snowed for most of the day and we did not see the sun the whole day. What fell was wet snow and some freezing rain. We will not see the sun before Wednesday.


I was not able to go to the Manor yesterday afternoon because of the snowstorm. I prayed at home instead. I will go to the parish church this evening for one hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. In many churches of the Island there is perpetual adoration or a day a week for adoration. This is a great blessing for the Island. On Friday I will have the Healing Mass and it seems it will be a nice day. Today is my birthday and I thank the Lord for giving me the gift of life.


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


As the parable teaches you, I am the sower of the good seed in the world. Those who receive the good seed and bear good fruit are the children of God. The one who sows the weeds is the evil one and those who accept the weeds are the followers of the evil one. In the world today there are the children of God on the one hand and the children of the evil one on the other. The destination of the children of God is heaven forever but the destination of the children of the evil one is everlasting hell.


I am calling you all to examine yourselves to find out in which camp you are. You just have to look at your actions and you will know. If you have rejected Me and are now following the evil one, it is time for you to change direction. Come back to Me and leave your sinful ways behind. Repent of all your sins sincerely in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and I will take them all away and come follow Me.


I desire the salvation of all My brothers and sisters but you need to open your heart to Me. Live as children of the Father with the graces He gives you every day. In this way you will reject the evil one in your life and walk with Me, your Brother.


Father Melvin

"By their fruit you shall know them"


Dear Friends,


The Parable of the Sower


On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear. (Matthew 13:1:9)


Yesterday we had a cloudy day with some wind. Freezing rain had fallen the night before and all the trees were covered in ice but most of this ice fell off during the day. We will get a little snow today.


I celebrated Holy Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday at 11:00 a.m. and a smaller crowd than usual was present. At 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon I was back at the same church for the baptism of a three-month old child. In the evening I was back at the church for the third time for the last day of the Seminar in the Spirit. The whole group that came for the seven weeks was present. I also heard some confessions. Now on Friday this week I will have a Healing Mass at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 7:30 in the evening. We will begin with the rosary at 7:00 p.m.


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


I often spoke in parables to the people during My public life. These parables are timeless and can be told in any age. They are not difficult to understand. I am the principle sower but any person who evangelizes is also a sower. What is sown is the word of God or the word of the Kingdom of God. The condition of the soil is very important for the seed to grow. It is the same with the word that is sown in your heart. What sort of reception do you give the Word of God? If you hardly have any faith, it will not take root in your heart and be discarded. If you are a person who is just curious, you might welcome the Word today and forget about it tomorrow. If you are a person that is taken up by the affairs of the world, you will not have much time to nurture the Word of God in your heart and it will die. However, if you are a person of great faith, you will welcome the Word with all your heart and you will produce wonderful fruit for all to see.


My dear friends, I want you to be brothers and sisters with great faith in Me. You have a relationship with Me, Your Savior, and My Words help you to grow every day in holiness. Live in a deep loving union with Me and nurture this relationship with prayer, the Eucharist and charitable acts. By their fruit you shall know them. I bless you all.

12:10 PM (Message from the Blessed Mother)


My children, at a time when the world is covered in the darkness of sin, I invite you to this time of special prayers. I come to light the way as the Mother of Divine Light, Divine Mercy, that it is only through my son Jesus that you can elevate yourselves to great holiness.

Be obedient children and pray to God for healing in all families. Pray for your children and for the children to come for it is through prayer that conversions will take place.

Come, my children, and say yes to God, say yes to my son and heal His wounds through love and obedience for I am your Heavenly Mother and it is through my Immaculate love that I come to you with this special intention. Now go forth in the peace of my son, Jesus.

My children, I ask that for the next forty days you pray a novena to my most chaste spouse Saint Joseph. I ask that you pray this novena for healing in your families and for conversions in your families. I come to guide you in my Motherly way to assist you in bringing forth peace at a time when mankind is divided in the truth. Now go forth in the peace of my son, Jesus.

My child, the hour is coming when the mountains will awaken and I will say to My people, Repent! The hour is coming when the seas will rise up and coast lines will be reformed and I will say to My people, Repent!

I come now through My Most Blessed Mother. I come now through My messengers to prepare the world for its hour of purification to warn My children in love that hearts must change. I come to you now, My children, to bring you into the desert.

Lent is a time to remove yourselves from the distractions and to empty yourselves from a world that seeks to culminate everything that is not of Me. I yearn for My children to open the eyes and hearts and to embrace Me as their Master, Messiah, their Savior for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

My child, I thirst and you hunger. I came to feed My sheep, to nourish My sheep through My Body and Blood and it is through the consecrated hands of My chosen sons that My sheep become Me, with Me, for I am Jesus.

I say to My children, why do you continue to turn to a world that only starves your soul from being nourished with the truth? My children, the hour is at hand and it is time for you to live by the divine plan and not the plan of man that only keeps you from living in My light.

My majesty is upon this earth each time My creation, My plan is being executed. My majesty is upon this earth each time the bread and wine become My Body and Blood and My children receive Me. I am with you, My children, for I am not a King ruling in a distant castle. I am not guarded by soldiers and seek to take life away. I am Life; the giver of life, the Way, the Truth. I sit in the silence of the tabernacle.

You do not need to travel a great distance to speak to Me for I am present each time you call upon My name for I am your Lord and your God and I ask you to come and follow Me for I am your Shepherd. You are My sheep. You are My majesty for you are a reflection of heaven each time you seek to live the will of your Heavenly Father.

Now go forth and live in the harmony of heaven and earth by being open to My plan for it is My mercy and justice that will prevail.

 2/27/10
10:00 AM

My child, I say to My children, .Where is heaven for you? Is it your treasures that you store up on this earth or is it your soul seeking its eternal place of rest with your Messiah? I say to you, My children, it is better for you to not spend your time storing up your treasures on earth and to lose your treasure of heaven. I come to you as your Teacher and you as My pupils. I tell you that it is better for you to let the will overcome the emotion, than the emotion to overcome the will.

It is not the hour to worry about your brothers and sisters but to pray for them and be a witness to them. It is not worth the risk of losing a few over the actions of many. And it is not worth losing many over the actions of a few. Do you see, My children, be accountable for yourselves for the words and actions of others will hold no merit at your hour of judgment. All are called but few are chosen, yet all will be judged.

Seek the Kingdom for as I have spoken to you through the Gospel, My Kingdom is not of this world. You are here to labor for your Heavenly Father. You would not risk losing a whole day’swages because you seek to spend your time sitting under a tree looking for more treasure. Then why would you risk losing the treasure of heaven by not doing the will of your Father?

You are not your own master, rather you are little treasures awaiting heaven. Now go forth and be My witnesses in the world for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

Please pray for all priests

Vision to littlest of servants March 1, 2010

 I saw JESUS in a ROSE GARDEN that had thousands of rose bushes and they all had BEAUTIFUL RED ROSES ON THEM THAT HAD NOT BLOOMED.

I then saw JESUS and HE was clipping the RED ROSES. When HE had several of them HE put them in a vase that had water in it.

When the RED ROSES were put into the water they immediately bloomed and looked VERY BEAUTIFUL and it was then that I was given the understanding that they also had a BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE.

I saw thousands of these vases. I was then given the understanding of what this vision meant.

The RED ROSES represented people who will at the illumination (the mini-judgment) be completely transformed.

The water represented the HOLY SPIRIT WHO WILL TRANSFORM US INTO LIVING IMAGES OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST AND THAT WAS REPRESENTED BY THE ROSES THAT HAD BLOOMED.

 THE BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE REPRESENTS THE LOVE THAT EACH PERSON WILL HAVE. THAT LOVE WILL BE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH THAT LOVE THEY WILL HELP CONVERT MANY.

considered with His all-knowing eyes,
understood with His divine mind,
tested with His wise justice, warmed with
loving arms and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you.

He has blessed it with His holy Name,
anointed it with His consolation,
taken one last glance at you and your courage,
and then sent it to you from heaven,
a special greeting from God to you,

"Mediocrity can be a terrific form of tyranny, and it has a thousand and one penalties for those who forsake the external standards for an inward change of heart to a line of conduct above the level. When a thousand people are walking to the edge of an abyss, the one who is seen walking in the opposite direction is taunted for not following the mob. We must be humble to bear up under these reproaches and dare to be right when the majority is wrong."

MARCH 4 -  JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!

The Virgin speaks to Jelena of the joy of salvation:

How can you not be happy? Jesus gives himself to you! I wish to fill the souls of all. But I am sad this evening, for many have not prepared themselves for Easter. Thus Jesus will not be able to unite himself to their souls on that great day (Locution Jelena and Mirajana April 14, 1984)

Paul explains salvation as a pure gift of Christ:

But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Eph 2:4-8).

Reflection:

St. Paul emphasizes that we do not need to live any longer under sin's power. The penalty of sin and its power over us were destroyed by Christ on the cross. Through him we stand acquitted, "not guilty," before God (cf. Rom 3:21-22).

Our Lady urges us to accept and rejoice in this gift of salvation. When someone gives you a gift, do you say, "That's very nice, now how much do I owe you?" No the appropriate response is, "Thank you." Yet some of us, even after we've been given the gift of salvation, feel obligated to try to work or earn our own way to God. But because salvation and even faith are pure gifts, our response can only be one of gratitude, praise, and joy.

Application:

Have we ever accepted, deep down, the gift of salvation? Today, pray that you may experience the awesome impact of this greatest of gifts, as Our Lady urges.

 "Making reference to the Blood that flowed from the wounds of the Crucified Christ, especially from the wound in his side, evoke[s] the significance of the Eucharistic Sacrament. The Church 'de Eucharistia vivit' (lives on the Eucharist), because from that Blood she comes into being and draws vigor for her daily commitment to the task of announcing the Gospel." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)

 

The cross is to the creature as the bridle to the horse. What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle?

 

"Jesus in the Eucharist, we glorify You, above all, in union with Mary Immaculate, Queen of Heaven.  We offer You through her, her homage of boundless love and fervent reparation.  Yes, adorable Jesus, it is in union with her that we come today to praise Your infinite mercies; with her we wish to weep over
Your mystic agony in the Tabernacle where You are forsaken and saddened by the  ingratitude of so many!" (Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey).

Mother Teresa

The fruit of Silence is Prayer.
The fruit of Prayer is Faith.
The fruit of Faith is Love.
The fruit of Love is Service.
The fruit of Service is Peace.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Don't be upset when you are unable to meditate, receive Communion or carry out all the pious practices. In the meantime, try to make up for this in different manner, by keeping yourself united to Our Lord with a loving will, with ejaculatory prayers and Spiritual Communions.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 It takes courage to follow your convictions

"Humility is required to challenge mediocrity; one must be ready to brave the taunts of those who knock anyone in the head who raises himself above the masses."

Mar 3 - PEOPLE RESUME THEIR BAD HABITS

The Blessed Mother was in tears when she gave this message to the visionaries:

"So many people who have been here, and have started to pray, to be converted, to fast, and to do penance, quickly forget when they return home, and resume their bad habits." (Special Message April 24, 1984)

Our Lady's implicit call to repentance is echoed by the prophet Joel:

Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, pass the night in sackcloth, You ministers of my God! Grain offering and drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God. Sanctify a fast, Call a solemn assembly, Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And cry out to the Lord. Joel 1 :13-14

Reflection :

Lent is a time for renewal and repentance, for turning back to God with our whole heart. Although we may have stepped backwards in our spiritual journey, now is the time to rearrange our priorities, to recommit ourselves to the Lord. Of this renewal, Pope Paul VI wrote :

We must aim above all at an inner renewal, a liberation from the mere following of conventions, a new departure in our way of thinking. More than anything else, we must lament our shortcomings before God, and the community of our brethren. We must renew the self-understanding each must have of himself or herself as a child of God, as a Christian, as a member of the Church. May our Lenten renewal reward us with a deeper share of God's love and peace at the feast of Easter.

Application :

Remembering Our Lady in tears, reflect on how you can deepen your spiritual life during these remaining days of Lent.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice

 

 "I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love."  (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)   

 

"In the Eucharist the Church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary, united with the offering and intercession of Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1370).

 

Mother Teresa 

God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.

 Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to God

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right!

"Numbers become the measure of goodness. If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong. We have to change the Commandments.' The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not."

 Mar 2    Thank you for each sacrifice

 

During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message:

Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86).

St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:

Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)

Reflection:

"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.

Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another. For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience. In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words. A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross.

In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold. For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.

Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious. I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.

Application:

St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist. On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice? For what intention can it be offered this week?

St. Gabriel Possenti, Patron of Clerics & Youth (Italy) 1838-1862
"There is more sweetness in one hour of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament than in all the world's crowded theaters, and brilliant drawing rooms, and giddy diversions, and social gatherings" (St. Gabriel Possenti).

 

"He remains among us until the end of the world. He dwells on so many altars, though so often offended and profaned" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).

 

Mother Teresa -

Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart."

 The naked truth is the magnet to draw hearts

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

How we have lowered the moral bar

"The growth of democracy has done much to do away with a false social snobbishness and to keep men humble in their external relations. But it has also, from another point of view, weakened the respect for Goodness and Truth, inasmuch as the masses of people are generally inclined to equate morality with the general level of society at any given moment."

March 1 - EXPERIENCE THIS PEACE

Our Lady speaks of peace in this monthly message:

"Dear Children, today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each of you to experience, in your heart, this peace which only God can give. I bless you with God's blessing and beseech you to live, dear children, in the way I have shown you.

I love you, dear children, which is why I do not count the number of times I have called you—and continue to call you.

I thank you for all you have done according to my wishes. Help me, please, that I may present you to God and guide you to salvation." (Monthly Message June 25, 1987).

And in John's gospel, Christ gives his peace to his disciples:

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. (Jn 14:26-27)

Reflection:

The effect of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives is often a deep and lasting peace. Unlike the world's peace, which is only the absence of conflict, this peace lives in us as a confident assurance in all circumstances. With Christ's peace, we have no need to fear the past, present, or future.

Application:

Reflect today on this line from the philosopher Baruch Spinoza: "Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, and justice."

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 28 - Experience in your heart, this peace

 

Bl. Angela of Foligno, Widow & Mother (Italy) 1248-1309—Feast, February 28 
"Burning with love for us, [Jesus] You desired to give Yourself to us and took up Your dwelling in the consecrated Host, entirely and forever, until the end of time. And You did this, not only to give us a memorial of Your death which is our salvation, but You did it also, to remain with us entirely and forever" (Bl. Angela of Foligno, Third Order Franciscan).

 

"Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love for you."

 

Mother Teresa -  

Holiness is the greatest gift that God can give us because for that reason He created us.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Pray for the wicked, pray for the lukewarm, pray even for fervent souls, but pray especially for the Supreme Pontiff, for all the Spiritual and temporal needs of Holy Church, our most tender Mother. A special prayer for all those who are working for the salvation of souls and for God's glory.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

What goes up must come down!

"Almost all moments of high sensible exaltation are followed by a period of depression. This is particularly true in any experience which has to do with the flesh. Drunkenness is followed by the hangover, excesses by disgust, the dream stage of opium by disenchanting depression. The body cannot sustain continued pleasure. Even tickling can turn into pain."

Jesus Tells Us God Will Hold Us Accountable!

 

    Today we attended our usual 8:00 A,M Mass at our parish where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions.

 

    Before receiving Holy Communion, I made an Act of Contrition. With the sacred Body and Blood of Our Savior on my tongue, I knelt with both hands covering my face in commune with Jesus. Feeling His magnificent presence humbling me so that tears flow. Immediately I told Jesus of my immense love for Him and how I want to become more and more pleasing in His eyes.

 

   Then I prayed: Speak Lord (only/always if it be His will), Your servant listens. Jesus responded once again to my prayer saying, My child Eileen, I tell you truly, with each new day that passes, choices and decisions are made. Be forewarned that all will be accountable to the Father for choices and decisions made by each and everyone of you.

 

    Also know that there will also be a storage reserve of all merits derived from living life through practicing such works as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and giving alms to the poor. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

 

d things to good things where you can as in stopping abortion. Do not try to be someone who you are not, in trying to impress someone, or in trying to be politically correct. Be yourself as a humble person who follows My ways and not the world’s ways. Live a simple life without focusing on the latest fashions and rich looking attire. Instead, focus more on Me and what you need to do in working toward heaven. Follow your Lenten devotions of fasting and prayer to better your spiritual life instead of rushing to buy things that you do not need. Remember the last line of this reading: Those, who exalt themselves, will be humbled, while those, who humble themselves, will be exalted.

"Come and have a loving relationship with Me"

Dear Friends,

Reproaches to Unrepentant towns

Then Jesus began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum: 'Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.' For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you." (Matthew 11:20-24)

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

"In many places I went in Israel, My country, I was not welcomed by the people. They did not believe in Me or accept Me as their Savior. I often spoke to them about the Father and what their duties should be. I healed many people and even raised the dead to life. They at times said that I was doing these miracles with the power of the evil one. Because the people in these towns did not accept Me, soon after I ascended into heaven their towns and villages were destroyed. Where is Capernaum today? It is a deserted town. Where is Corazin and Bethsaida today? They became ghost towns many years ago.

I call upon you, My brothers and sisters, to believe in Me as your Savior and Redeemer. I am the Son of God and I have all power. Leave your life of sin behind and come and have a loving relationship with Me. It is those who are truly Christian who will be saved."

"Remain faithful to Me"

Dear Friends,

Courage under Persecution

Therefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father." (Matthew 10:26-33)

Below you will find Our Lord and Redeemer's message given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

"What is the worth of a human being? Is an unborn child of any worth? My dear brothers and sisters, a human person is of greater worth than the whole world, than the sun or the moon. There is nothing in this world that has greater value than a human being. The unborn child has the same value as any other human being. That is why you have to respect every human being from conception to natural death.

If you follow Me, you will be persecuted at times. There are always followers of mine who are persecuted in the world today. They are thrown in prison for no other reason that they believe in Me. They are falsely accused of crimes they have not done just because they are believers. The media today is anti-Christian because you do not agree with the ways of society: you are against the killing of the unborn children, which they call abortion; you are for life but they are for death; you are against euthanasia, the killing of the elderly, the terminally ill, or those who are handicapped; you are also opposed to same-sex marriage for Our Heavenly Father established marriage as a union between a man and a woman. A marriage has to be opened to children, the great gift of God to any couple.

Do not be afraid of those who persecute you but know that they have persecuted Me too when I was on earth. Remain faithful to Me, your Savior, and I will bless you."

"I am the light"

Dear Friends,

The Conditions of Discipleship

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple-amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward. (Matthew 10:37-42)

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

"I am Your Savior and Your friend and I wish to be first in your life. You cannot put any other person ahead of Me. If there is another person more important than Me, then you will follow the opinion of that person even when it is directly opposite to what I have taught you. For example, if a person tells you that it is not important to go to Holy Mass on Sunday and if you miss Mass on Sunday it is not a sin, if I am number one in your life, you will know that this goes against what I have taught the Apostles and you must follow Me and not the one who is telling you a lie.

You need to submit to Me totally so that your only desire in life is to do the will of Your Father in heaven. In order to be able to achieve that, you need to be humble. The proud ones only want to do their own will and this is why these will fall into sin often. However, if you are a person of prayer and you love Me with all your heart, you will find it easy to follow My will and not your will, which is often darkened by pride. Remember, you can only find the true life in Me. So give Me your life and you will have Me as your great friend. In doing this then you will be completely free and you will be following the right path every day. I am the light that enlightens you on your journey. I love you."

[Fr. Doucette: 431] Wed, Feb 17, 2010: "Prepare well to enter these forty days"

"Prepare well to enter these forty days"


Dear Friends,

 

The temptation of Jesus


Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.Jesus answered him, “It is written, One does not live by bread alone.Then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant. The devil said to him, “I shall give to you all this power and their glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish. All this will be yours, if you worship me.Jesus said to him in reply, “It is written: You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written: He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,and With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.Jesus said to him in reply, “It also says, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time. (Luke 4:1–13)

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

 

“As soon as I was filled with the Holy Spirit at My baptism, I was led into the desert for forty days. I spent this time with My Father in prayer and I fasted during all those days from food and water. At the end I was tempted by the devil three times and every time I rejected the temptation. The evil one was very clever to show Me how to win the people without any suffering and without My death on the cross. However, there was always a catch to his temptations, for example I had to worship him and this I could not accept. I pushed him away to follow My Fathers will for that was why I had come into the world.

 

The number forty is important because the Jewish nation spent forty years in the desert on their way to the Promised Land. I call you too to spend forty days every year in union with Me to prepare for Easter. I call you to take this time to repent of all your sins and to transform your life with the grace given to you. Prepare well to enter these forty days of Lent and resolve to pray more and to fast. I bless you and I love you.

"Begin My work"

Dear Friends,

Coming Persecutions

"Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of people, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!" (Matthew 10:16-25)

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

"I sent the Apostles to visit the villages and towns of Israel. Some of these welcomed them while others refused to do so and instead insulted them and chased them away. I knew that after My death and resurrection they would be arrested and flogged and some would be killed because they were My followers. They were not to be afraid of suffering but to look to Me as their example, as I was arrested, scourged and killed. However, on the third day I rose from the dead never to die again.

As I sent the Apostles, so now I send you to evangelize the people who live in your area. Some of you will be sent far away in a foreign country to evangelize the people who have hardly heard of Me. Go in the power of the Holy Spirit to work for Me, your Savior, to bring many people to come to know Me and believe in Me. It is not the number that is important but that they receive a deep faith and commit themselves totally to follow Me. Those because of age or sickness are unable to do this work, can stay home and pray for the conversion of the people of the world. Begin My work and I will bless you daily."

Father Melvin

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 23 - Pray, pray, pray!

 

"When you see It [the Body of Christ] exposed, say to yourself: Thanks to this body, I am no longer dust and ashes, I am no more a captive but a freeman: hence I hope to obtain heaven and the good things that are there in store for me, eternal life, the heritage of the angels, companionship with Christ; death has not destroyed this body which was pierced by nails and scourged, . . . this is that body which was once covered with blood, pierced by a lance, from which issued saving fountains upon the world, one of blood and the other of water. . . This body He gave to us to keep and eat, as a mark of His intense love" (St. John Chrysostom).

 

 To doubt is the greatest insult to the Divinity-Padre Pio        

 

Mother Teresa  -

Jesus came to earth to give charity its rightful place in the hearts of men. " By this," He said, " men shall know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another " and this commandment will last for all eternity.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

But the reason why you don't succeed in meditating well is this, and I am not mistaken: You approach meditation with a certain, special alteration, coupled with the great anxiety to find some object which can console and content your spirit. And this is sufficient to see to it that you never find what you seek, and do not rest your mind on the truths you meditate upon, or empty your heart of affections. When one seeks something one has lost with great haste and avidity, one can even touch this object with ones hand, and even see it a hundred times without realizing it.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 The Blame Game!

"The self-indulgent always find fault with others. The blame has to be placed somewhere: the boss, the nagging wife, the teachers, the politicians or the nasty man at the next desk. The sense of justice is so rooted in the human heart that responsibility must be laid on some shoulders; if not on self, where it belongs, then on another, where it does not. The self-pity awakens a sorrow which leads to despair and remorse."

St. Faustina's diary Suddenly, when I had consented to the sacrifice with all my heart and all my will, God's presence pervaded me. My soul became immersed in God and was inundated with such happiness that I cannot put in writing even the smallest part of it. I felt that His Majesty was enveloping me. I was extraordinarily fused with God. I saw that God was well pleased with me and, reciprocally, my spirit drowned itself in Him. Aware of this union with God, I felt I was especially loved and, in turn, I loved with all my soul. A great mystery took place during that adoration, a mystery between the Lord and myself. It seemed to me that I would die of love [at the sight of] His glance. I spoke much with the Lord, without uttering a single word. And the Lord said to me, You are the delight of My Heart; from today on, every one of your acts, even the very smallest, will be a delight to My eyes, whatever you do. At that moment I felt transconsecrated. My earthly body was the same, but my soul was different; God was now living in it with the totality of His delight. This is not a feeling, but a conscious reality that nothing can obscure.       (137)

Feb 23  -  PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!

Our Lady's monthly message for October, 1991 (in the midst of the Yugoslavian civil war), was startling in its brevity. It was simply :

"Pray, pray, pray ! "

In St.John's gospel, Jesus weeps out of love for his friend Lazarus :

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, "Where have you laid him? " They said to him, "Lord, come and see. " Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, "See how he loved him! " (Jan 11 :33-36)

Reflection :

Today we have two brief but powerful messages from Jesus and the Blessed Mother : prayer and love. It is these qualities that mark the following love letter from Jesus (quoted from the Apostleship of Prayer) :

Dear Friend,

How are you? I just had to send a note to tell you how much I love you and care about you.

I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day, hoping you would want to talk with me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you—and I waited. You never came. Oh,yes, it hurts me—but I still love you because I am your friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night and longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow and face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awakened late and rushed off to work. My tears were in the rain. Today you looked so sad—so all alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hut me many times, too, but I love you.

Oh, if you would only listen to me. I love you! I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breathe it in the colors of flowers. I shout it to you, I mountain streams and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents. My love for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest want or needing your heard. Oh, if you only knew how much I want to walk and talk with you. We could spend an eternity together in heaven.

I know how hard it is on this earth; I really know!

And I want to help you. I want you to meet my Father. He wants to help you, too. My Father is that way, you know. Just call me ask me, talk with me! Oh, please don't forget me. I have so much to share with you! All right, I won't bother you any further. You are free to choose me. It's your decision. I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait, because I love you!

Your friend,

Jesus

Application :

Today, simply speak to the Lord with your heart.

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 22 - THE CHAIR OF PETER

 

 

September 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to fall in love with the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your Parishes and in this way you will be united with the entire world. Jesus will become your friend and you will not talk of Him like someone whom you barely know. Unity with Him will be a joy for you and you will become witnesses to the love of Jesus that He has for every creature. Little children, when you adore Jesus you are also close to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

 

Pius XII writes of the importance of spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, "The Divine Redeemer loves to listen to our entreaties, to speak with us familiarly, and to give us a refuge in His Heart which burns with love for us" (Mediator Dei).

 

Mother Teresa 

We need to be someone for the destitute who not only lack a roof over their heads, but who are deprived of having someone who cares, someone to belong to.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

  I cannot at all believe and therefore dispense you from meditation for the sole reason that you feel you gain nothing from it. The holy gift of prayer, my good daughter, is in the right hand of the Saviour, and to the degree to which you are emptied of yourself, that is, emptied of love of body and your own will, and that you continually become more well-rooted in holy humility, the Lord will communicate this to your heart.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The difference between the penitent and proud

"Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts. They may have a sadness in their hearts from pain and torture, but never remorse. They end in penitence or a making up for guilt by bearing patiently the trials of others. This is illustrated in the case of Judas and Peter. There is much similarity between the two, up to a point. Our Lord warned both of them that they would fail; He even told them that each would be a devil."

St. Faustina's diary  

 A light from the morning meditation: Whatever You do with me, Jesus, I will always love You, for I am Yours. Little matter whether You leave me here  or put me somewhere else; I am always Yours.

It is with love that I abandon myself to Your most wise decrees, O God, and Your will, O Lord, is my daily nourishment. You, who know the beatings of my heart, know that it beats for You alone, my Jesus. Nothing can quench my longing for You. I am dying for You, Jesus. When will You take me into Your dwelling place [cf. John. 14:1-3]?       (1145)

As long as we live, the love of God grows in us. Until we die, we ought to strive for the love of God. I have learned and experienced that souls living in love are distinguished in this: that they are greatly enlightened concerning the things of God, both in their own souls and in the souls of others. And simple souls, without an education, are outstanding for their knowledge.       (1191)

Today, I have heard these words: My daughter, delight of My Heart, it is with pleasure that I look into your soul. I bestow many graces only because of you. I also withhold My punishments only because of you. You restrain Me, and I cannot vindicate the claims of My justice. You bind My hands with your love.      (1193)

Feb 22   -  THE CHAIR OF PETER

In the first weeks of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin kissed an image of the Pope and said :

"He is your father, the spiritual father of all. It is necessary to pray for him. " (First Years November 8,1981)

And in March of 1982, smiling at two large pictures of the Pope that had been brought by a woman from Osijek, Our Lady said : "He is your father, my angels. " (First Years March 2, 1982) In Matthew's gospel, Jesus responds to Peter's faith in these words : And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, an the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt 16 :18-19)

Reflection :

On the cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our own. In a like manner, in today's message, Mary in turn points to the Holy Father and gives him to us as "the spiritual father of all. " The Chair of Peter is a gift from God who never leaves us without a shepherd to guide and teach us. It has been the charge of the Popes through the ages to hand down the body of faith which Christ gave to his apostles and followers, to preserve it in its integrity for future generations. Through the calm and turbulence of 2000 years, that legacy of faith has now come down to us and to the present Pope, who in turn will teach and preserve it. No other institution of any kind has so survived the ages, a sign of the Spirit's presence with the church , once called "Mother " to signify its mission of nourishing God's children. As Christians and Catholics, we give thanks today for this priceless legacy and for the successor of Peter who is "father of all. "

Application :

Our Lady says of the Pope in her message, "He is your father…it is necessary to pray for him. " Let us then offer a rosary for the Holy Father today, and remember him in prayer for the rest of the week. Today, simply speak to the Lord with your heart.

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 21 - IT IS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE

 

St. Peter Damian, Bishop and Cardinal (Italy) 1007-1072, Feast, February 21


He wrote, "Your heart should beat with confidence in God's love."  "Christ cannot be accused of forgetfulness: Christ does not enjoin things contrary to His commands.  He is the Bread that came down from heaven, which is daily brought to the table of the Church, as a heavenly food, which is broken for the forgiveness of sins,

 

At the Visitation [Our Lady] was greeted by St. Elizabeth who recognized the
presence of Jesus veiled in His first tabernacle.  Is it any wonder that Mary
said: 'For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his
name' (Lk 1:49)?  The Lord Himself has come to us.  He is here!  (Excerpts from the book Bread of Life) right

 

Mother Teresa 

We need to be someone for the naked who not only lack clothing but mercy.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 Be patient in persevering in this holy exercize of meditation and be content with taking small steps, until you have the legs to run, or better still, wings to fly. Be content with obedience which is never an easy matter for a soul which has chosen God as its portion, and resign yourself for now, to being a little bee in a hive, that will soon become a big bee capable of making honey.

Always humble yourself lovingly before God and men, because God speaks to those who truly have a humble heart before Him, and He enriches it with His gifts.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Burnout comes fast for those who are not sincere

"When, after multiplying the bread, the multitude wished to make Christ a bread king, Our Lord fled into the mountains alone. Economic kingships last only while the bread is plentiful and the circuses are in the playgrounds. It is always a good policy never to choose the most enthusiastic person in a gathering as a leader. Wait to see how much wood there is for the flame."

St. Faustina's diary 

I will enclose myself in the chalice of Jesus so that I may comfort Him continually. I will do everything within my power to save souls, and I will do it through prayer and suffering.

I try always to be a Bethany for Jesus, so that He may rest here after all His labors. In Holy Communion, my union with Jesus is so intimate and incomprehensible that even if I wanted to describe it in writing I could not do so, because I lack the words.       (735)

During Mass today, I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, Be at peace, My daughter; I see your efforts, which are very pleasing to Me. And the Lord disappeared, and it was time for Holy Communion. After I received Holy Communion, I suddenly saw the Cenacle and in it Jesus and the Apostles. I saw the institution of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior, and I came to know the greatness of His majesty and, at the same time, His great humbling of Himself. The extraordinary light that allowed me to see His majesty revealed to me, at the same time, what was in my own soul.       (757)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

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

Feb 21 - IT IS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE

In answer to a question by the visionaries about their futures, the Blessed Virgin responded :

I would like all of you to become priest and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose… (First Years December 8, 1981).

Vocations are also the theme from this passage from Matthew's gospel :

When he saw crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send our laborers into his harvest " (Mt 9 :36-38).

Reflection :

There are two conditions on which vocations to the priesthood and religious life hinge. The first, as Christ tells us today, is prayer. Through prayer an individual discerns the call of God, and through prayer God's people help to plant the seeds of vocations.

Second, the environment and support of a Christian family nourishes these budding vocations. I have a friend from a farming family who was working in a field one day with his father. In the course of their conversation on Ken's future, his father said, "Have you ever thought of the priesthood? " That's all it took. These seven words contained approval and encouragement for such a career, which is what Ken needed to think seriously about it. Today he is a pastor of a parish in his home state of Iowa. I believe my own vocation was inspired by my parent's example of faith as well as a large measure of God's grace. I was also blessed to have as role models several fine Benedictine friars from my home parish. Prayer, family, example, and grace; the essentials needed to bring in the workers of the harvest.

Application :

How can you encourage a vocation within your own family? Have you ever broached the subject with a friend or acquaintance who might be a promising candidate? The following Prayer for Vocations is response to Christ's request that we pray for more laborers. Try to pray it often :

"Lord, you told us that, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, that the Lord of the harvest send laborers to his field. " WE ask you to strengthen us as we follow the vocation to which you have called us. We pray particularly for those called to serve as priests. sisters, brothers and deacons : those whom you have called, those you are calling now, those you will call in the future. Grant them the grace to be open and responsive to your urgent call. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen. the most we can do is open ourselves radically to God-but are pure gifts from the Holy Spirit. Pope Leo XIII wrote, "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness; and this goodness is especially attributed to the Holy Spirit. " But because our God possesses infinite generosity and love, he will fill with the Spirit any emptiness within us, if it has been emptied for him.

Application :

"Every time we say, `I believe in the Holy Spirit, " writes J.B. Philips, "we mean that we believe there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it. " Today, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady urges us, for she has said, "When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything. "

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 20 - Open yourselves to the Holy Spirit

 

"I adore Thee, Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament, and with all my heart I wish to make myself a fitting temple for Thee.  Come to me, O loving Jesus" (St. Thomas Aquinas).

 

St. Joan of Arc, patroness of soldiers and her country France, fought valiantly to defend her Faith and her country.  Joan drew her courage from the Eucharist.  Fr. Stephano Manelli writes, 'Christ in the Eucharist is the true Bread to make them [us] strong ... the nourishment to make men heroic, to sustain martyrs, and to bring strength and peace." 

 

Mother Teresa 

People who are unloved and unwanted are, just like us, children of God. Even more, they are Christ in our midst and they belong to us. They are our brothers and sisters.
God loves people and provides for them. They are more important to Him than the lilies of the field and the sparrows.

Meditations by Padre Pio - In order to imitate Jesus, we must reflect each day on the life of the One we intend to take as our model. From our reflections is born esteem for His acts and from esteem springs the desire and consolation of imitation.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

The test of time will measure true enthusiasm and zeal

"Decisions and resolutions taken during an enthusiastic moment mean little unless tested by time and by waiting. At the beginning of the public life of Our Lord, when many wished to follow Him, He refused to accept them: 'He knew what was in man.' The immediate request for places on the right and left side of the kingdom by James and John He ordered tested by the ability to bear sacrifice and to drink the cup of His Passion and Crucifixion."

St. Faustina's diary  -

Jesus, living Host, You are my Mother, You are my all! It is with simplicity and love, with faith and trust that I will always come to You, O Jesus! I will share everything with You, as a child with its loving mother, my joys and sorrows-in a word, everything....(230)

Holy Hour. During this hour of adoration, I saw the abyss of my misery; whatever there is of good in me is Yours, O Lord. But because I am so small and wretched, I have a right to count on Your boundless mercy....(237)

Jesus, I trust in You; I trust in the ocean of your mercy. You are a Mother to me....(249)

I feel certain that my mission will not come to an end upon my death, but will begin. O doubting souls, I will draw aside for you the veils of heaven to convince you of God's goodness, so that you will no longer continue to wound with your distrust the sweetest Heart of Jesus. God is Love and Mercy.     (281)

Feb 20 - OPEN YOURSELVES TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

Regarding the Holy Spirit, Our Lady once said :

Dear children, this is a time of grace. Open yourselves to the Holy Spirit that he may make you strong. Your Mother, dear children, calls you especially to prayer and sacrifice during this time (Visionary Prayer Group June 1, 1990).

In Galatians, Paul speaks of the fruits of the Holy Spirit :

By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit (Gal 5 :22-25).

Reflection :

Isaac Hecker, the founder of the Paulists, once wrote : "The whole future of the human race depends on bringing the individual soul more completely and perfectly under the sway of the Holy Spirit." This Spirit is always at work within us, gently transforming us into the likeness of Christ and imbuing us with the gifts of peace, kindness, faithfulness, and the other virtues of which Paul speaks today.

These traits are not the reward of our own spiritual achievements-the most we can do is open ourselves radically to God-but are pure gifts from the Holy Spirit. Pope Leo XIII wrote, "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness; and this goodness is especially attributed to the Holy Spirit." But because our God possesses infinite generosity and love, he will fill with the Spirit any emptiness within us, if it has been emptied for him.

Application :

"Every time we say, `I believe in the Holy Spirit," writes J.B. Philips, "we mean that we believe there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it." Today, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady urges us, for she has said, "When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything."

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 19 - I FORGIVE EASILY

 

    Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who said "let us be all for Jesus through Mary," was one of the greatest instruments of peace in our time.  She wrote,  "What will convert America and save the world?  My answer is prayer.  What we need is for every Parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of prayer."  "Perpetual adoration is the most beautiful thing you could ever think of doing.  People are hungry for God."    

 

As Mother Teresa wrote, "The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament . . . will help bring about everlasting peace on earth."  "I beg the Blessed Mother to touch the hearts of all parish priests that they may have Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in their parishes, and that it may spread throughout the entire world."

 

Meditations by Padre Pio-   


While assisting at holy Mass renew your faith. Have your mind elevated to the mystery that is happening before your eyes.    

 

Mother Teresa   -

The Father's love, the Son's love, and our love is but a giving until it hurts.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The Christian soul never lets a day go by without meditating on the Passion of Jesus Christ.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Keeping the fires of enthusiasm going can be an icy proposition

"Hearts would save themselves many sorrows if they knew better the psychology of human feelings. While there is much wisdom in the counsel of Emerson, 'Hitch your wagon to a star,' and to the need of wedding idealism to every ordinary task, there must also be a realization the enthusiasms cool. Those who have been to the North Pole say that the ecstasy at reaching it was very much dampened by the long, weary Arctic winter, during which hidden weaknesses of men begin to appear. As fires died down, quarrelsomeness stole in."

St. Faustina's diary   -

Today, I received some oranges. When the sister had left, I thought to myself, "Should I eat the oranges instead of doing penance and mortifying myself during Holy Lent? After all, I am feeling a bit better." Then I heard a voice in my soul: My daughter, you please Me more by eating the oranges out of obedience and love of Me than by fasting and mortifying yourself of your own will. A soul that loves Me very much must, ought to live by My will. I know your heart, and I know that it will not be satisfied by anything but My love alone.      (1023)

O my Jesus, give me wisdom, give me a mind great and enlightened by Your light, and this only, that I may know You better, O Lord. For the better I get to know You, the more ardently will I love You, the sole object of my love. In You my soul drowns, in You my heart dissolves. I know not how to love partially, but only with the full strength of my soul and the total ardor of my heart. You yourself, O Lord, have enkindled this love of mine for You; in You my heart has drowned forever.       (1030)

Feb 19 - I FORGIVE EASILY

Of prayer and forgiveness, the Blessed Mother said:

Dear children, I , your Mother, love you, and so I urge you to pray. I am tireless, dear children, and I call you even when you are far from my heart. I am a Mother, and although I feel pain for each one who goes astray, I forgive easily and am happy for every child who returns to me (Weekly Message 11-14-85).

As Our Lady forgives with joy, so her Son enjoins each of us to do the same:

Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times" (Matthew 18:21-22).

Reflection:

Once, the Duke of Wellington was about to pronounce the death sentence on a confirmed deserter. Deeply moved, the great general said, "I am extremely sorry to pass this severe sentence, but we have tried everything, and all the discipline and penalties have failed to improve this man, who is otherwise a brave and good soldier."

Then he gave the man's comrades an opportunity to speak for him. "Please, your Excellency," said one of the men, "there is one thing you have never tried. You have not tried forgiving him." Surprisingly, the general did forgive him, and it worked. The soldier never again deserted.

It might be added here that the other benefit of forgiveness is that, once we have experienced it ourselves, we seem to naturally turn around and forgive others. The effect is, as Our Lady knows so well, peace.

Application:

Pray for forgiveness today and for the grace to forgive another for some hurt in your heart.

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 18 - ON THE WAY TO HOLINESS

 

"When you see (the Body of Christ) exposed, say to yourself: It is on account of this Body that I am no longer earth and ashes, no longer captive, but free.  This Body gives me my hope of heaven and the treasures there laid up for me: life without end, the company of the angels, familiar intercourse with Christ.  This Body was pierced by the nails, torn with scourges, yet death has not taken it from me; this is the very Body that was drenched with blood, pierced by the lance; the Body from which two springs of salvation gushed forth, one of blood and one of water.  This Body He has given us to hold and to eat—a proof of His ardent love" (St. John Chrysostom).

 

"The least fragment of the consecrated elements in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar is the whole Body of Christ born of the Virgin Mary, before which the whole host of saints and angels as it lies on the altar trembles in adoration."  (Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J.)

 

Mother Teresa -  

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Jesus said, " As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you."

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Just as the bees sometimes fly great distances without hesitation to reach fields where they have a favorite flower bed and then, tired but satisfied and laden with pollen, return to the honeycomb to complete the fertile and silent work of transforming the nectar of flowers into nectar of life; so must you after having gathered it, meditate on it with attention, examine its elements and search for the hidden meaning. It will then appear to you in all its splendor; it will acquire the power of doing away with your natural materialistic inclinations; it will have the virtue of transforming them into pure and sublime ascensions of the spirit, which will bring together ever more closely your heart with the Divine Heart of your Lord.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

The blind we see, but the deaf we do not hear

"One of life's greatest joys comes from loving those whom no one else loves. Thus do we imitate Our Heavenly Father Who certainly cannot see much in any of us creatures that is very attractive. It is curious that most people are more kind to the blind than they are to the deaf. Aristotle commented upon this fact, saying that sight is the most spiritual of all the senses and hearing the most material. For that reason we are moved by sympathy towards those who are afflicted in the most spiritual way."

St. Faustina's diary  

Sometimes there are whole hours when my soul is lost in wonder at seeing the infinite majesty of God abasing Itself to the level of my soul. Unending is my interior astonishment that the Most High Lord is pleased in me and tells me so Himself. And I immerse myself even deeper in my nothingness, because I know what I am of myself. Still I must say that I, in return, love my Creator to folly with every beat of my heart and with every nerve; my soul unconsciously drowns, drowns... in Him. I feel that nothing will separate me from the Lord, neither heaven nor earth, neither the present nor the future. Everything may change, but love never, never; it is always the same. He, the Immortal Mighty One, makes His will known to me that I may love Him very specially, and He Himself makes my soul capable of the kind of love with which He wants me to love Him. I bury myself more and more in Him, and I fear nothing...

In pure love, there is room for everything: the highest praise and the deepest adoration, yet the soul is immersed in Him in deepest peace through love; and the words of people, speaking from the exterior, have no effect upon that soul. What they tell the soul about God is but a pale shadow in comparison to its own experience of Him; and it is often surprised how other people can be struck with admiration at what someone else says about God when, for this soul, it is nothing special, as it knows that what can be put into words is not yet that great. So this soul listens to everything with respect, but has its own special life in God.       (947)

Feb 18 - ON THE WAY TO HOLINESS

Speaking of holiness, the Blessed Mother says:

Dear children, you know that I wish to lead you on the way of holiness, but I cannot compel you to be saints by force. I wish that each of you help me, and yourself, by your small sacrifices. Then I will be able to guide and help you to grow in holiness day by day (Weekly Message 10-9-86).

St. Peter speaks of holiness as well:

Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; for it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:14-16).

 

Reflection:

Holiness means to be devoted or dedicated to God, to be set aside fro his special purpose, and set apart from sin and its influence. We are set apart and different, not blending in with the crowd, yet not being different just for the sake of being different. What distinguishes us are the qualities of God in our lives; our focus and priorities are his.

Growth in these qualities and priorities usually occurs a bit at a time, for holiness is a process. Patience as well as commitment is called for. In the words of Andrew Bonar:

A holy Christian life is made up of a number of small things:

Little words, not eloquent sermons;

Little deeds, not miracles of battle

Or one great, heroic deed of martyrdom;

The little constant sunbeam,

not the lightning.

The avoidance of little evils,

Little inconsistencies, little weaknesses,

Little follies and indiscretions,

And little indulgences of the flesh make up

The beauty of a holy life.

 

Application:

Reflect today on the following:

"The greatest thing for us is the perfection of our own soul; and the saints teach us that this perfection consists in doing our ordinary actions well" (Archbishop Ullathorne).

"Jesus is 'a man Who knows suffering'. In this year consecrated to the Eucharist, I invite you to unite yourselves in your thoughts and in your heart to the sacrifice of the Mass, an endless source of hope for all of life's trials"
(Pope John Paul II, Feb. 12, 2005).

 

 

The Center of Her Love 
  "Mary lived in the divine Eucharist, the center of her love.

  All her thoughts, words and actions sprang from It like the rays from the sun."

(St. Peter Julian Eymard)

 

Pope John Paul II -

On March 22nd, 1995 Vicka accompanied 350 wounded and crippled Croatian soldiers to Rome where the Pope gave them a private audience. She was the translator (Italian-Croatian) and the Pope immediately recognized her: "Are you not Vicka from Medjugorje?" he asked her. Vicka then offered him a rosary saying: "I guess you have many rosaries already, but this one is special as it was blessed by the Gospa during an apparition." The Pope said to her: "Pray to the Madonna for me, I pray for you." He prayed over her a long time & blessed her. http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.htm

Mother Teresa  -

Love one another as I have loved you.
As the Father loves me, love one another. "

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Reflect upon and keep before your mental gaze the great humility of the Mother of God, our Mother. The more She was filled with Heavenly gifts, the more deeply She humbled Herself.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Impressions are a reflection of behavior or image!

"People are like a mirror which reflects back on us the kind of image we cast. The kind man bears with the infirmities of others, never magnifies trifles and avoids a spirit of fault finding. He knows that the trouble with most people in the world is that they are unloved. No one cares for them either because they are ugly or nasty, or troublesome, or so-called bores. To a great extent their character is made by the resentment they feel toward others who are unkind."

St. Faustina's diary  

Jesus, You have given me to know and understand in what a soul's greatness consists: not in great deeds but in great love. Love has its worth, and it confers greatness on all our deeds. Although our actions are small and ordinary in themselves, because of love they become great and powerful before God.       (889)

Love is a mystery that transforms everything it touches into things beautiful and pleasing to God. The love of God makes a soul free. She is like a queen; she knows no slavish compulsion; she sets about everything with great freedom of soul, because the love which dwells in her incites her to action. Everything that surrounds her makes her know that only God Himself is worthy of her love. A soul in love with God and immersed in Him approaches her duties with the same dispositions as she does Holy Communion and carries out the simplest tasks with great care, under the loving gaze of God. She is not troubled if, after some time, something turns out to be less successful. She remains calm, because at the time of the action she had done what was in her power. When it happens that the living presence of God, which she enjoys almost constantly, leaves her, she then tries to continue living in lively faith. Her soul understands that there are periods of rest and periods of battle. Through her will, she is always with God. Her soul, like a knight, is well trained in battle; from afar it sees where the foe is hiding and is ready for battle. She knows she is not alone-God is her strength.       (890)

Feb 17  -   MASS IS THE GREATEST PRAYER TO GOD

 

Today Our Lady emphasizes the importance of preparing for Mass:

The Mass is the greatest prayer to God. You will never be able to comprehend its importance. That is why you must be perfect and humble at Mass, and should prepare yourselves beforehand (First Years 1983).

The word "eucharist" translates into "thanksgiving," which is the spirit of Psalm 116:

What shall I return to the Lord

for all his bounty to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation

and call on the name of the Lord. --Psalm 116:12-13

 

Reflection:

In reflecting on the eucharist today, as the readings indicate, it would be appropriate to hear as well from one of the visionaries on its importance to our spiritual lives. Several years ago, Vicka said:

"Before going to holy Mass, focus intently on who you will be receiving. During Mass, open your heart to Jesus. See him with the "eyes" of your heart. We see and experience and live with Jesus through faith. That's why, during Mass, our faith must be very strong. The stronger our faith, the better prepared we are to welcome him in the Holy Eucharist.

We must not only listen during Mass, we must really experience all the holy words of the Mass with love. That's why, toward the end of Mass when you are receiving Jesus alive, if your heart is open, he is truly with you. When the Mass ends and you leave the church, you will be filled with unspeakable joy!"

 

Application:

When attending your next Mass, arrive early so you can prepare. Think of Christ, as Vicka recommends, and give him any worries or problems that might distract you from the eucharist. Review the day's readings from the Sunday missalette, or if attending a daily Mass, use a weekday missal for this purpose (available at religious goods stores). 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 16 - HOW STRONG MY LOVE IS

 

 "Every Catholic devotion, when stripped down to its bare elements, is directly or indirectly aimed at finding the Child with Mary his mother (cf. Lk 2:12).  These two are inseparable, the two hearts are intimately allied. 
This explains why Our Lord, as Lucia of Fatima was instructed to tell us, wishes his own Eucharistic Heart and that of his mother to be placed alongside each other and jointly honoured.
    "In this way it comes about that we meet the alliance of hearts in all Marian sanctuaries.  There, along with God's mother, we offer our homage and adoration to him who was the fruit of her shining faith as much as of her womb.  For she is called blessed because she believed (Lk. 1:45).  And now in
turn Mary helps pilgrims to believe ever more strongly—especially in the sacrament of her Son's loving presence" (Mary and The Eucharist, Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).

 

 Eve of Mary, Help of Christians

 

St. John Bosco had a dream in which he saw a vision of the Church, represented by a huge ship, being attacked by enemies of the faith.  A great Pope was raised up by God to lead the Church to triumph with the "Twin Pillars of Victory," The Holy Eucharist and Our Lady.  Beneath the statue of Our Lady, in St. John Bosco's dream, was the inscription "Help of Christians." 

"Trust all things to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary Help of Christians and you will see what miracles are" (St. John Bosco).

 

Mother Teresa  -

Jesus loved and still loves the unwanted and the unloved.
He loves them deeply.
He died for them, and He doesn't stop saying:

Meditations by Padre Pio -

All prayers are good when they are accompanied by good intentions and good will.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen  

We reap what we sow!

"If we start with the belief that most people in the world are crooks, it is amazing how many crooks we find. If, however, we go into the world with the assumption that everyone is nice, we are constantly running into nice people. To a great extent the world is what we make it. We get back what we give. If we sow hate, we reap hate; if we scatter love and gentleness we harvest love and happiness. "

Feb 16 - HOW STRONG MY LOVE IS

Today Our Lady speaks of our need to recognize her love:

Dear children, today I wish to give you my love. You do not realize, dear children, how strong my love is or how to accept it. I wish to show it to you in many ways, dear children, but you do not recognize it. You do not listen to my words with your hearts, and thus you do not comprehend my love. Dear children, accept me into your life and then you will be able to accept all that I tell you and all that I am calling you to (Weekly Message 5-22-86).

In Psalm 19, the author sees creation as an expression of God's love:

The heavens are telling the glory of God;

and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

Day to day pours forth speech,

and night to night declares knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there words;

their voice is not heard;

Yet their voices go out to all the earth,

and their words to the end of the world. Psalm 19:1-4

 

Reflection:

Today the Blessed Mother says that she attempts to show us her love in various ways, but often we do not recognize it. The same is true of God's love; we seem to need "new eyes" to look about and see his gifts around us. One of the ways he shows us this love is in creation, as our psalm reveals: "The heavens declare the glory of God." Indeed, some people have actually come to faith by seeing the Lord in nature, in the beauty of the created world. The following verses speak of this insight:

Who sees his lord

Within every creature

Deathlessly dwelling

Amidst the mortal:

That man sees truly...

--- The Bhagavad-Gita

 

Application:

This week, try to spend some time outdoors, perhaps taking a walk in the park, or just around the neighborhood. Try to be conscious of God's presence in his creation, aware that this also is prayer.

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 13 - DEVOTE YOUR PRAYERS TO ME

 

"Lent this year, according to the Holy Father's invitation, emphasizes our essential rapport with the Eucharist. ... I would like to summarize in three points our Lenten commitment: 1.The liturgy of the Church ... is the first instrument of authentic evangelization; 2. On Sundays we rediscover the Eucharist; and 3. With the Eucharist we rediscover the rapport between liturgy and life" [which demands] "resolute witnessing to true values: the family, personal honesty, commitments deriving from marriage, priestly celibacy and religious life ... without which there is no true spirit of poverty" (Cardinal James Francis Stafford, Feb. 9, 2005).

 

Found this item which will go into our parish bulletin:
        Fr. Rawley Myers of Colorado Springs writes:  The greatest thing
that has happened to me was the discovery of the daily Holy Hour.  This
has been my salvation.  I go to the church worried, but once there,
before the Tabernacle, I find peace. Before the Tabernacle nothing
matters except Jesus. I sometimes feel like the Apostles before
Pentecost, cowardly and confused, but Jesus in the Eucharist has taught
me not to be overly concerned but to put all my trust in God. And a great
burden is lifted from my shoulders.

 

 

Mother Teresa  -

The humbler the work, the greater should be your love and efficiency.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Prayer must be insistent since insistence denotes faith.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 Embracing the etimology of kindness

"The word `kindness' is derived from kindred or kin, and therefore implies an affection which we bear naturally to those who are our flesh and blood. The original and archetypal kindness is that of a parent for a child and a child for a parent, an idea which is preserved in the German language where Kind means `child.' Gradually the word gained in extension until it embraced anyone whom we are to treat as a

St. Faustina's diary-  

Jesus, my Love, today gave me to understand how much He loves me, although there is such an enormous gap between us, the Creator and the creature; and yet, in a way, there is something like equality: love fills up the gap. He Himself descends to me and makes me capable of communing with Him. I immerse myself in Him, losing myself as it were; and yet, under His loving gaze, my soul gains strength and power and an awareness that it loves and is especially loved. It knows that the Mighty One protects it. Such prayer, though short, benefits the soul greatly, and whole hours of ordinary prayer do not give the soul that light which is given by a brief moment of this higher form of prayer.       (815)

I have come to understand today that even if I did not accomplish any of the things the Lord is demanding of me, I know that I shall be rewarded as if I had fulfilled everything, because He sees the intention with which I begin, and even if He called me to himself today, the work would not suffer at all by that, because He himself is the Lord of both the work and the worker. My part is to love Him to folly; all works are nothing more than a tiny drop before Him. It is love that has meaning and power and merit. He has opened up great horizons in my soul-love compensates for the chasms.       (822)

Feb 13 - DEVOTE YOUR PRAYERS TO ME

 

From a monthly message in 1988:

Dear children, again I call you to prayer and complete surrender to God. You know that I love you, and have come here out of love so that I could show you the way to peace -- and to salvation for your souls. Do not let Satan corrupt you -- obey me in this. Satan is very strong and therefore I ask you to devote your prayers to me, so that those who are under his influence may be saved. Witness by your lives. Sacrifice your lives for the salvation of the world. Know that I am with you and am grateful to you' in heaven you will receive the Father's reward, as he has promised. And so, dear children, do not be afraid. If you pray, Satan cannot harm you in the least, for you are God's children and he watches over you. Pray, and let the rosary always be in your hands as a sign to Satan that you belong to me (Monthly Message 3-25-88).

 

In Matthew's gospel, Jesus also calls us to prayer. Note that the Our Father contains a prayer against Satan as well: "and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." In Matthew, this petition is expressed in these words: "And do not bring us to the time of trial, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13).

 

Reflection:

At times we may notice that our prayer has become too self-centered. This is an opportunity to again focus on others, on "we" rather than "I", which is the spirit of the Lord's Prayer. In this vein, Charles Thompson writes:

You can not pray the Lord's Prayer and even once say "I."

You can not pray the Lord's Prayer and even once say "My." Nor can you pray the Lord's Prayer, and not pray for another; for when you ask for daily bread, you must include your brother.

For others are included in each and every plea: from the beginning to the end of it, it does not once say "Me."

 

Application:

Review the focus of your prayer today. Is it weighted more to yourself or to others? How can you correct the imbalance?

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

 YOU HAVE BEGUN YOUR LENT AND IT IS FITTING THAT IT BEGINS WITH THE HOLY MASS AND HOLY COMMUNION AND WITH MUCH PRAYER. YOU MUST LOOK DEEP WITHIN YOURSELVES AND THEN MAKE THIS TIME OF SELF-DENIAL BENEFICIAL. SO MUCH YOU CAN DO WITH SACRIFICE AND PRAYER.

LITTLE ONES, IT HAS BEGUN. THE CHURCH IS NOW BEING SUBJECTED TO THE WHIMS OF MAN. THOSE WHO HOLD HIGH PLACES WITHIN SHALL BRING DOWN THE SPLENDOR IT HOLDS AND CAUSE THE CHURCH TO APPEAR WEAK AND SUSCEPTIBLE. YOU HEAR THE CHATTER OF EVIL DOERS AND MUCH OF THE BEAUTY OF THE HOLY CHURCH IS REDUCED TO RIDICULE AND DIVERSION. ONLY FEW WILL REMAIN STRONG AND IT IS THROUGH GRACE THAT THESE FEW WILL REVERE THE TRUTHS AND HOLD THEM IN THEIR HEARTS.

BE ALERT, PAY ATTENTION, IT HAS BEGUN.

PRAY MY CHILDREN WITH MUCH TRUST IN THE WISDOM OF GOD. YOU WILL BE RENEWED EACH DAY WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF GRACE.

I GIVE TO ALL MY BLESSING. I GO TO EACH ONE, BLESSING YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE BLESSING OF CHRIST FALLS GENTLY UPON YOU. RECEIVE IT WITH HUMILITY AND THEN PRAISE AND THANK GOD, NOW AND FOREVER.

PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS SAVE THE WORLD!!!

Message Thru Marie - February 19, 2010

 

Feb 19 fri 6 am sorrowful mysteries

 

I was recalling when I lived in the states (20 yrs ago)
and how little time if any, I had with developing
any spiritual life. In my latter years there, my
sunday mass attendance started to lessen as I
even felt the need to rest from mass. My thought was
sunday is the only day I can veg out so sleep late
and stay in bed - as my days were filled with work
and chores from monday to saturday.


Jesus: I led you to recall those times to show
you the ploy of the enemy. He uses
your time against you. He likes to fill it with
many activities so you will get drained and
your energy too dissipated for prayer, for
coming to me.


After John baptized me, I went to
desert for 40 days with no food and water.
While you tried to fast the whole day ash wed and
only ate a little around 3 pm, you could not
last because you are not used to denying yourself.
Weakened, you could not realize yet that as
you cut yourself off from your physical
bondage, you become free to deepen your
spiritual life. I often while walking the earth
withdrew from crowds, from distractions in
order to pray and listen better to the Father.


    Offer a fast as a sign of obedience
    Offer a fast as a sign of trust
    Offer a fast to lighten my load
    Offer a fast to strengthen your souls
    Offer a fast to SAVE SOULS


Few fast. Too few see or feel the need. For them
it is enough to believe and pray.


     Fasting is prayer in action
                 is obedience in action
                 is following my WILL
                 is for your own good
                 is needed most NOW
You are approaching unprecedented times.
So many voices/professional/doctoral opinions
given to you from all sides telling you the
world will go this way or that. Opposing
each other, each trying to convince the other.


         I AM one voice
                  a still voice
                  PEACE amidst turmoil.
                  SECURITY amidst so many fears
                  LOVE amidst all the hatred
                  RESPECT amidst the nakedness of the times
                  SILENCE amidst all these noises


The hour is late, do not delay all you wish
to do in your spiritual life for a later time.
Begin NOW. Even if the hour is late I will
not leave you because I am here to call my
lost sheep. I will not rest until I have each
of you back among my fold.


You will need these lost sheep to draw
greater strength from as a community.


In the movie Lord of the Rings, the
middle kingdom must unite to defeat the
huge enemy. In the greatest battles, you saw
how men and children held swords they
knew not how to use against an awfully
large powerful, hate filled enemy clearly
outnumbering them, attacking them at night
in the cover of darkness.


I call everyone to take up their
swords, fortify the fort, wear their armor
of goodness, faithfulness, a life of virtues
and brandish their swords. Pray and I
shall be with you at the height of the battle.


Even the king, the leader of one of the last
earthly kingdoms said, when he saw how large
and powerful the enemy was, (my own words) " who can stand
before them"  he fell into desperation and
felt defeat was inevitable. "who can stand against such
wickedness"


But the king was an earthly king who
did not trust in the Divine Plan. So it is with you
today. I gather my flock from all ends of the
earth and I will unite you all for the
great battle. 'the light will come from the east! The night
is darkest just before the dawn.' recall these words. They
are for your time.


The enemy cannot see the plan of my Father.
The hatred, greed for money/power have kept their
souls locked in darkness.


From all over the world, I gather my own.
They will stand together inspite of the fractured
Church that is clearly coming soon.


DO not fear my daughter, that the darkness is
so vast. I said that the darkness cannot
drown out my LIGHT.


Horns are blowing, stand firm. Pray, fast,
love, repent, convert, bow down, do not delay your
offering. Offer now when it is needed.
I WILL provide all you need.

L. began to receive a message from GOD THE FATHER and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other numerous prayers of testing the spirits)
 
Then God your Father spoke, "Snowstorms will diminish and rain will follow.  This will cause devastating floods.  The water will run with great force carrying man and beast to death.

    Streams, creeks, lakes and rivers will all overflow.  Mudslides will be abundant.  Homes and buildings will collapse.  This will resemble the Great Flood of Noe's time.

    Lightning too, will cause many fires and blackouts.  Winds of great velocity will end the present day destruction  BUT MORE AND MUCH WORSE IS TO FOLLOW!"

External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, February 14, 2010

My dear ones, I am your Mother once again, Mary the Holy One of God.  I come to greet you on this special day in your lives, in this country, to tell you that you are My Valentines, My children.  Be delighted with this little gift of Mine, as I am delighted with you, My children.  There is so much serious occurrence in the world; and, so, I bring a light touch to My initial greeting today. 

How I love you, My dear ones!  I pray for all of your loved ones, all of your children every day; and all over the world every person in the world is My child.  How I love all My children, even those who are errant in their ways or who are actual enemies of the Father, of His plans, of the Church, of His holy ones.  My children, we have such a battle to fight.  Remember that I am with you with all of My power as Mother of God, as Queen of angels and saints, as Queen of all people who will accept Me, as Queen of the world.  I come to you this day to encourage you to continue whatever you are doing for the world, for the Fathers plan, and for the Fathers will in the greatest love and joy you can find in your hearts.  Let joy permeate every word you say.  Let your love pour forth on all you meet, not in a gushing way; but in an interested, loving and sincere way, truly happy to see each other.  You will be telling this to those who come to you, how happy you are to see them; and you will need to mean this, and they will feel welcome and comforted immediately.  They will be in such need, My children.  Comfort will be on top of their list and on top of the gifts you bring to them. 

 You see the world boiling with trouble, new challenges everywhere.  You see the enemies of the Father and of yourself, the enemies of love.  Pray for them this special day of love and about love, about the heart.  Their hearts are cold, My children, hard, only about destruction, many of them never knowing love.  It is the reason for mercy.  You are Gods mercy to the world, My children, in union with Jesus Who is the mercy of the Father.  My children, as you are rejoicing and celebrating today, think especially about those who live in darkness and with cold hearts with no one to love them, bent on destruction, bent on removing love from the world, removing any unity that exists, any comfort that is found anywhere.  It is a dreadful plot; and, of course, it is the plan of Satan himself.  I speak to you in serious words these days because it is a time before great eruption of events in the world.  You are all waiting, as it were with baited breath, as the saying goes; and so I encourage you to remember that I am with you, that I wait with you.  You are enclosed in My arms and in My heart as well as My mantle. 

All is well for you, My dear ones.  All is well with your prayers.  All is well with your fidelity, and with your love for each other, and for Me and your Triune God.  Let us give thanks today for our Beloved One, Jesus in all of your prayers and your celebrations.  Thank you, My children for being here.  Your numbers are greater today which speaks of the love in your hearts for all things Heavenly and for prayer.  Thank you, My dear ones.  You are My beloved, as well. Amen. 

Excerpt from alleged personal msg. from the Father, 2-15-2010:

"Dearest faithful one, I Am is here(!)  The world is about to explode as soon as you return from this trip (for CA Conference, 26 to 28th)) to gather and pray and listen with many loved ones. Think not of the Warning now (i.e. to happen at this immediate time.) Remember the need for ongoing destruction first. It will be sooner than you think, however. Be at peace, all My faithful ones and bring all your energy to the ACT OF SEEKING RECONCILIATION!  (It seems to me He IS referring to time after Warning here, however. c.) "Pray, My beloved ones, to Our Spirit to grant you the gift of openness one more time, and accept the sins you discover now; confess and rejoice!
I Am your God and Father Who loves and prepares and desires to forgive you of all!
Hold nothing back, My dearest ones. (i.e. at reconciliation from now on, I believe... cta)) Be totally honest and accepting and purified! 


Pray for each other for the gift of surrender to the truth of sinfulness that each one might see, that all will accept the selfishness still present in most of Our faithful ones everywhere. Do not fear. It is grace that will see you (all of us everywhere, c.) through each event, and each demand made upon your time and energy and gifts: (by people who come to our homes after W.)  "Let go of your self-pity, My people. It is one of your greatest burdens, and hinders your progress in My Will and plans for you. Let go of all now, that you might accept ALL!"     Carol Ameche

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

 Jesus, please your simple servant is listening.  I plead
your most precious blood over the following words..

Welcome my beloved
little one.  Thank you for opening your heart to My Words.  It is not
easy to follow the Teacher, and yes, my child,  you are the student
striving to surrender each day to your Master and Teacher, your Jesus
of Mercy.  Your trials are very difficult yet I have told you many
times you only need to call out to Me for I AM always with you and I
will carry you through each trial, each tribulation.  My Beloved Saint
Theresa of Avila knew that each trial, each tribulation, was a step
towards eternal salvation and that there would be many steps necessary
in this life to attain the Grace of Eternal Life with Me, your Jesus of
Mercy.  St. Theresa knew well the life of spiritual dryness and
spiritual darkness as she speaks of these many times over in her
written words.  It is My Grace given to the world, the meditations on
My Stations, which I have titled His Cross, His Mercy.   (I plead your
most precious blood over the words you give me, My Lord Jesus for I
only want to do your Holy Will)

 For many years now you have walked
this journey with Me, My little one.  This journey which has been in
your words, staying at the bottom of a tall mountain and climbing two steps
but falling three steps, never quite getting past  the second step of
the many thousands of steps up that steep mountain, yet you continue to
persevere though you feel you never seem to climb, only to fall.

 Oh, My beloved little one, if only each child would try to continue their
journey with Me I would gladly carry them daily securing an entrance
into eternal joy.  But it saddens Me that they desire instead the
worldly pleasures.  This is why I have given these very special graces
of  My Meditations of My Stations,  so that when those of you My
children will pray them devoutly, allowing graces through your
sacrifice and prayer of these My stations,  meditations which may open
hearts of those many that are on the brink of eternal damanation to receive the grace to turn from sin and souls saved. You my little one, question the gift that I am willing to give but when you give these words to  my beloved sons, my priests, who give you spiritual guidance and direction, will know in their hearts that as your Jesus of Mercy desires that this message is to be given.

As you have done, as I invited, to have My Meditations recorded, and
each one touched to My Relic of My True Cross receiving an anointing
for those opening their hearts to My Desire  to reach many of My
children.  Also, as I have promised each child obtaining this
meditation recorded will receive the same Graces as if they were having
a novena done in their home each time they pray devoutly with this
recording of My Stations.  If My children only knew the many souls that will be saved in answering My Call, My Desire for this special time in praying along with My Cross My Mercy (His Cross His Mercy)  I love you My little one and I thank you and all My children, your Jesus of Mercy


Open to Chronicles Ch 24 Vs17- After Jehoiadas death the officials of
Judah came to pay court to the king, and the king listened to their
advice, and they abandoned the Temple of Yahweh, God of their
ancestors, for the worship of sacred poles and idols.  Judah and
Jerusalem incurred wrath because of this guilt of theirs.  He sent
their prophets to lead them back to Yahweh;  these put the case against
them, but they would not listen.  The spirit of God then invested
Zechariah son of Jehoiada, the priest.  He stood up before the people
and said, “God says this, “Why transgress Yahwehs commands to your
certain ruin?  For if you abandon Yahweh, He will abandon you.

Vs 23 - At the turn of the year, the Aramaean army made war on Joash,.
When they reached Judah and Jerusalem, they massacred all the nations
government officials and sent all their booty to the king of Damascus.
Although the invading Aramean army was only a small body of men, Yahweh
allowed them to defeat a very large army because they had abandoned
Yahweh, God of their ancestors;  thus they executed judgement on Joash.

REPRESENTATIVES, PLEASE FORWARD!

As OUR LADY held her SON, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, in her arms HER HEART WAS TORN BY GREAT SORROW AND SUFFERING.

Then came the RESURRECTION WHICH MADE ALL THE SORROW AND SUFFERING WORTH IT.

In the final years of this era there will be GREAT SORROW AND SUFFERING but it all will be WORTH IT as the NEW ERA WILL BE PARADISE ON EARTH.

Feb 12 Fri 7:30 am sorrowful mysteries

Me: Guide me O lord, in how I pray, what I ask for. Give me the right frame of mind so I ask without pride, without hidden impure motives other than that all I ask is within your  Divine Will.


(I had been wondering as I used the Padre Pio Novena for healing of a critically sick relative if a physical healing is within His will or if it the person's destiny to meet his death  and so I kept thinking how to pray over this person. Still, I asked for physical healing/recovery)


Jesus: Recall my beloved Lazarus. How I resurrected him from the dead. You have always in the past tried to answer the question I posed rhetorically : which is easier to do, to raise a man from the dead
or forgive him his sins but that you do not doubt I shall do both.


Man cannot answer this question because it is not within man's grasp.
Either to breathe life back into man or to forgive man his
sins. But both are only possible by the  will of the Father.


I performed both not for show, or pride
or to call attention to myself. But that
generations after may know I AM
the One true Son of the Father. I brought
Lazarus back from the dead. I reversed the
process of death already happening so that the
Father may be glorified. When i brought Lazarus
back to life he was made whole in all
aspects - physical, mental, emotional and
lastly spiritual. I heal completely.


When you pray for healing pray for
complete healing, so that should it be the
Father's will not to honor physical healing and
recovery, He may grant spiritual healing to
the soul through your intercession.


The higher of the two tasks is the latter -
to forgive man his sins. I was sent by the
Father for this task. And in obedience I
completed this task so that all generations
hence may obtain forgiveness from the Father.
Anything you ask the Father in My name,
shall be given you. The healing of the soul is
the greatest task/goal of each of my children.
Ask for mercy, for grace, for healing of the soul.
When you ask and put all your TRUST in ME
and in MY FATHER, This shall be granted you
and all other blessings,fruits besides this
become yours for the taking.
Continue to TRUST IN ME.

Note: I read in my bible afterwards there are two healings
incorporated in this message. Healing of paralytic where his sins were first forgiven, then he was commanded to rise (Mark 2: 1-12)
and raising of Lazarus from the dead - where Jesus, to glorify God,
cried to Lazarus to come out of his tomb after being dead for
4 days (John 11:1-44) .

There seems to be a 'fusion' of the two distinct
miracles but it is the message
that I was directed to write hence I only
confirmed in the bible after message that there are
two separate distinct miracles.

Yea Though I walk Through The Valley Of Darkness

     Today we attended our usual 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all those with special needs and intentions.

   Before receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I made an Act of Contrition. After receiving the most sacred Host, I knelt in silent prayer with Jesus and gave thanks and praise to Him. Then I asked, “Speak Lord (always and only if it be His will, of course), Your servant listens.

  With both hands covering my face in order to be perfectly alone with Jesus and remove all distraction, I focused only on Him. I began to see two colors. A background of black that was completely speckled with blue flecks. Almost resembling a woven fabric.

     Then Jesus answered my prayer saying: “My child Eileen, While there is much darkness in the world and My people are often blue because of this darkness, as AM I, continue to walk through the darkness focusing on Me with faith and trust. My children know that I will never leave you.

    Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Valentina Papagna migrated to Sydney, Australia in 1955 from Slovenia after experiencing difficult times in her early years. In 1988 two years after the sudden death of her husband, Valentina began to receive visions and messages from our Lord Jesus and Mary our Blessed Mother. From this time on her life changed from being an average Catholic to one more devout. Valentina is a Roman Catholic in good standing, who has the full support of her Spiritual director and parish priest, Father Valerian Jenko OFM. She wishes to share her experiences and messages only to help people come closer to God and to grow in holiness as Jesus and Mary desire. Now a grandmother, she lives a quiet and simple family life, seeking to avoid publicity for herself yet compelled to proclaim the messages given to her which she knows is not for her self alone. Valentina is frequently invited into private homes where in a prayerful family gathering she shares and witnesses to Gods blessings of peace. Many confirmations attest that lives are changed, hearts touched and people are encouraged to seek Gods grace through this witness.

January 2010

I visited Purgatory with the Holy Angel Certain Souls approached me a group of men. They were grateful for my prayers. They said, "Valentina, why did God make us of the flesh? We wish that we were made of something different so we wouldnt have these desires."


One man approached me and said, "Most sin that we commit is due to the way some women dress in such a shameful way. They are destroying the world because of the way they expose themselves.

Whatever wrong a person does, it is on their own conscience.

Our lord Himself told me, For all the shameful things they do here on earth, one day, in My Holy presence they will be exposed shamefully in front of all My Holy Angels and Saints. I will not clothe them in a beautiful garment unless they repent.

After Christmas January 2010

A vision of a Holy Soul came to me she said, "Valentina, I have to come to tell you about the secrets that our Lord revealed to us little by little."

"When we first died, we were confused and unhappy. We learned that we had to be purified and that for penance we had to do what we were told."

"Sometimes, it was very hard and painful with the help of prayers and Mass offerings, gave us great relief."

"Little by little, we were raised higher. Our only desire was to be with god as quickly as we could."

"Valentina, thankyou for your help and prayers. They helped me to reach where I am now."

"I cannot describe to you the joy I am experiencing now."

"Our Lord showed me why we become sick and die prematurely. It is all for a good reason. Gradually, he explains things to us until we reach perfection. We are now with God. We do not miss our families anymore all this has been taken away from us. We think of them but not yearning for them."

The Soul was so joyous and happy as she explained how a person progresses in Holy Purgatory until finally the ultimate day of deliverance, Heaven, Home.

 1st February 2010

 

Jesus spoke this morning, His expression was sad.

"Peace be with you, My child, let us be united as one so you can give me great consolation. Look at My Sacred Heart, broken. It will tell you that I am not happy I have been scourged and wounded all over again. My Holy Cross bothers them all over the world. They keep removing it from all places, even in some Catholic churches. They are afraid My Holy Cross offends people of different religions. Shamefully, they betray Me like Judas. Over and over again, in places like Italy which was the most Catholic country. Priests and Bishops keep silent. They are afraid they may be threatened by society and scandalised.

Tell them, My child, be truthful, dont be afraid and speak out and defend Me.

Do you know, My Holy Cross is the salvation of men. Without My Holy Cross, there is no salvation at all.

Go ahead, remove My Holy Cross you hypocrites. The more you deny God, the more troubles will befall you and your countries.

"You already experience disasters all over the world. They will continue to be your fate."

"It will bring you on your knees."

For your time now is repentance."


"Your lives will become harder and harder and you will see your brothers dying of hunger and thirst. Disasters will fall on all humanity, sickness and wars, persecutions. Humanity torn apart because of these disasters and violence."

"You men of power and pride, see how far you can go without My mercy.!"

"I Tell you, I don’t keep silent. I speak out through My prophets and they will tell you My Holy Cross will never be removed."

"I will make My Holy Cross appear in the sky for all mankind to see and know that I exist."


"I wish all my faithful children to pray for this intention and defend Me in public from this malicious enemy."

Lord, have mercy on us. May you redeem us with your Holy Cross.

Let us be united, offering our Lord consolation.

Feb 14 Heart's Day 7:30 am, my altar, Glorious Mysteries'

Yesterday I was overcome with self pity as my
day was so full of chores: attending confirmation
seminar of my son, going to grocery, attending to
lunch of my kids, travelling over 3 hours to get to
our summer house to pay for renovation/repair works,
checked accomplishment/ supplies etc, settled bills,
paid the caretaker, brought plants for planting and
rushing to plant before dark,hurried home so left by 6 pm.
All this without my husband. Got caught in traffic and arrived
home around 9:30 pm. Back was aching and self pity attack -
I prayed on trip home and the feeling went away.

This morning, I was directed to open book on
Blessed Anna Maria Taigi : wife, mother and mystic by
Albert Bessieres, S.J. This book is normally in my library upstairs.

Anna was married to Domenico who had a temper, easily
flared up at slightest imperfection, they had 6 kids or so and lived in
a tight servant's room with her children, her difficult mother in law and
later on, even her children's spouses.

Jesus told Anna when at times Anna was spiritually
attacked that "when I speak to you
I I produce in you tenderness, peace, compunction,
above all, HUMILITY. Know well, my daughter,
that no matte how much he desires to love me, if
a man enter not the straight path of humility he
will keep on stumbling. Man has within himself
a dust that settles around his heart: it is called
self love. Man is full of pride and I have nothing
to do with the proud."

"Only the humble find favor in my sight."

and again, "Daughter, when the soul is fervent
it ought to humble itself and not be so self sure for
otherwise, it makes hasty promises and then, when coolness
returns, it becomes timid and full of fears."

Later on when Anna was criticized for her devotions,
she got upset and Jesus said " You are in
too much of a hurry, My daughter! Repress
this natural impetuosity of yours, live in peace and roll
the world under your feet. Remember that if a soul tries
to fly from the cross I have given him I promptly load
him with a much heavier one. What, My daughter,
you who are so thirsty for suffering let yourself be so
quickly overwhelmed with sadness. But you know
well and understand that you shall suffer unto the end"

And this part I really could connect when Jesus said
as more trouble brewed between her
husband and mother and this made her sadness grow:
"Ah, I have given you a wealth of good
instruction and you do not take the trouble to recall it to mind
you allow yourself to be overcome by sadness and
discouragement. A wise and prudent person in whatever
distressing set of circumstances he finds himself,
always says: "I have thoroughly deserved it, in fact it is
nothing to what I deserve. He does not become
anxious interiorly."

"I have told you many, many times that to
become possessed of my peace and calm one must
lay aside one's own judgment, bow the head, and be
filled with my Holy Humility."

end of quotes from book,

Yesterday as I was travelling home, I was told,
"my daughter, why the self pity. Why think yourself
so highly? deserving this consideration or that? Instead
empty yourself, humble yourself. Be grateful. Be grateful
for your many blessings. Be thankful too for your cross.


Offer it." Immediately I became so ashamed
of all my complaining and offered my tiredness,
my chores and afterwards, after various prayers, was not anymore
bothered by sad, self pitying thoughts. Afterwards,
I grew calm and started thanking the Lord
for my husband, that he is a good and considerate
husband and father and I started to see again
his good points. Before the offering I could only
think, 'oh everything is on my shoulders.
Poor me, poor me, tired me. And I could only
see my husband in a very negative/resentful light!
In other words, Self pride was rearing its ugly head! I
could only see and value myself so highly and this
clouded my mind and my heart into not seeing or valuing
my spouse! Very dangerous...

Feb 15 Monday 7:10 am Joyful Mysteries

Jesus: write about your dream

Me: In the dream, I was in mass and it was time for communion
I was in the front of the line to receive communion. Then a woman
lay minister (she was not dressed like a woman but had short hair
and dressed like most lay male ministers) came to distribute the
consecrated hosts but she did not distribute them. Three times or
more she hesitated/was frozen, she left her place and
came back after a time then stopped short of giving me the host.

Finally I had grown impatient since
she did not want to distribute and maybe
15 mins had passed and we were all waiting
for her. She left and just did not distribute hosts.
I was so angry with her that in the end I
followed her and she still held on to the chalice and did not
give it to me. Like she turned away from me.
So I grabbed a handful of hosts -( this was a
dream so i've never done this and there are no lay female ministers
where i attend mass who distribute hosts- we always have enough
lay male ministers to do this). Anyway, in dream still, I
got one for myself then quickly the rest of host in my palm
 the crowd scrambled to get hold of. But so many the crowd was
and what little i grabbed was gone soon. I woke up disturbed.

My thought was a woman lay minister! Also it was like she had a
certain air of masculinity. Like she was gay or something.
 What does this mean?

Jesus: Already many of my chosen sons
have left the priesthood, but time is near when
there will be no more masses.

Me: My lord, all churches we go to here in
Philippines is full of people, all going to mass.
I cannot imagine it  yet my Lord.

Jesus: The priests will soon be gone from your
midst and many of you will be left shepherdless.

Me: Oh lord, spare us this event. We need your
sustenance as we live in dark times.

Jesus: My child, most who attend mass attend it
out of show. Most will not miss the mass
when a revolution in the Church occurs.
Many come because it is a habit, a ritual
they have become accustomed to doing.

So few, so few (pause here - very sad I felt Jesus)
even bother to truly repent of their sins -
where are the lines to confession? Observe, observe
many, almost majority always
receive me in a grave state of sin!!! Few
wash their stains by confession.
They do not really see the state of their
souls. It is soon time to show them -
for they know not what pain they cause me.

Feb 18 Thus 4 am Luminous Mysteries

I woke up so early, around 3, couldn't sleep and went downstairs to pray instead. After an hour
I felt drowsy so went back up to get some more sleep. Left house early for early appointment.
No time to write yet plus I was struggling with the 'task' of sending messages.

11 pm: kids already asleep since nine. Finished a movie and had urging to go down to my altar

Me: Lord, it was different before - Mama Mary and you both would enlighten me about many
things, lessons of the spirit. But just us.

Now I feel the pressure of the responsibility
of sending these messages out. You know I worry
that I might be misleading or get misdirected
by a voice other than yours. Yet i feel grateful if I could be
of service in this way.

Jesus: Worry not my child. People can discern
through the help of the Holy Spirit. If the words
are not of ME then they will not have a
response deep in their souls. I am interested
in reaching all my lost sheep.

In your desire to be led by ME, your words
will act upon each soul that desires to know
ME. Know that it is not your words that cause
the change rather the Spirit moves you first
then the flow occurs and the Spirit moves them.
Even if your choice of words
is insufficient, worry not for the Spirit does not
change, It is the same yesterday, today and
tomorrow. The Spirit will direct you to the
right words.

Whatever you write, know that I will act
upon each soul on the level that they can
open up to ME. So in one, the response will
be tremendous and bear bountiful harvest. In
another, filled with the attachments of this word,
hardly any change takes place.

When you feel overwhelmed, let my Spirit calm
you. It is enough that you are willing in this task.

LONG PAUSE

It is lent. I have a request from all - pray and fast.
Pray in silence and fast in silence.
Fast from pleasures of this world. These will
not only strengthen you but cause many positive
graces and healings to take place. So few truly
offer any sacrifice to atone for their sins.
So few believe they sin and so feel no need to
sacrifice.

When you sacrifice you receive many spiritual
gifts. If you follow my request, you shall see
immediately the results. Your prayers will have
greater power. Prayers with your
offerings (fasts) are needed most now.

The Feast of St. Jane Frances de Chantal
 
 My dear little children, praised be Jesus!
 
 Thank you, children, for praying, for coming here to pray with us.  My Son is so pleased.  The Holy Spirit is here to give you abundant enlightenment.  I am here to give you abundant graces.  Thanks be to God the Father!
 
 Little ones, the world is in tremendous turmoil; and every place, every country and every area that you can imagine is being dissected and is in turmoil.  Pray with all your heart that God will spare you from the events to unfold due to the lack of commitment, the lack of charitable love and the lack of faithfulness to Him. 
 
 Know that you are special, but even in your specialness there is weakness.  

You must give to God all of who you are and ask Him to heal you, to guide you,
to give you knowledge and wisdom and prudence, and to cleanse you.  You are to
lead, and to lead you have to be pure in all areas.  God knows the areas in
which you need to be purified.
 
 
I’m here to guide you, to love you, to protect you, to comfort you and to draw you into my most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, so that you will never, never be led astray again!

 
Children, know that this is true:  There is no time for doubt and no time for
fear, but there is time for change. There is time for love, and no time for
hate.  There is time to give, but no time to be selfish.  There is time to
detach, but no time to be enticed by the things of the world.  Please, you who have eyes to see and ears to hear, look around and see what you see and hear what you hear, and you will be enlightened to see and hear all that is about to afflict the world. 

 
The entire world is in danger, not one country, nor two, nor three, but all
continents.  You are all family, and you are all about to be afflicted with
pain, not from God because He desires it, but because of your poor choices and your own desires to do what you desire instead of what God desires for you. 
 
 
However, remember:   God is merciful and kind, compassionate and forgiving.  He can mitigate and change all.  He can change anything He desires.  Only He knows the time and the place.  If but you as humble servants bow in gratefulness to Him, you can change the tide.  The waves crashing in can be softened. 
 
 
Look, look into my Heart and thrive in the most glorious Presence of being in Jesus, my Son, in the Eucharist.  There is all hope!  Your whole renewal is there!  Your healing, the Truth, the Light!  Look He is here, and He desires to be with you. 
 
 Never forget:  You can make a difference!  Many would like to tell you that you are not worthy, but you are.  As your Mother I see and I can tell you:  Be strong, courageous and move valiantly ahead.
 
 I love you.  You belong to me.   God created you, and in thanksgiving to Him I will make you new, whole and most perfect, so that when you see Him face to face, you will be there with Him radiant, glorious and free. 

 Peace.  I love you (fading whisper).

"Do not allow fear to occupy any corner of your heart. I, your Jesus, know all of your needs before they formulate in your heart. I give you grace sufficient for each present moment."

"Great graces always come with bigger crosses; but you need not pursue either grace or cross. Each will be given freely - abundantly - one balancing out the other. Often daily routine is a cross and a grace unto its own."

St. Peter says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"I have come once again to address the topic of temptation. I invite sinners to realize that every temptation - great or small - comes clothed in Satan's untruth. The untruth appeals to the god of self-love, for Satan knows best how to appeal to every heart."

 

"This is the reason self-knowledge is paramount in the battle to be perfected in Holy Love."

"Ponder my words to you today carefully. Allow them to become a part of your heart."

"Become My friends"


Dear Friends,

 

The Commissioning of the Twelve


Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give.

 

Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep. Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you.

 

Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words—go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.” (Matthew 10:5–15)

 

 

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

“After I taught the Apostles, I sent them out to the villages and towns of the Jewish people. It was not yet time for them to go to the pagan places or to the Samaritan towns.

 

I sent them to proclaim that the Kingdom of heaven was near. I gave them power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and drive out demons. If they were welcomed in the village or town they visited, then they were to stay there and do their work. If they were not welcomed, they were to go outside the place and shake the dust from their feet. I will bring judgment upon that place.

 

As I sent out the Apostles, I also send you out to the various roads and villages and towns where you live. I want you to visit them and announce to them that I am their Savior and all should believe in Me. If they believe, encourage them to pray every day and to go to church regularly and to live as followers of mine. If they do not believe, pray with them that they may receive the gift of faith and invite them to go to Church on Sunday. In this way you will win many people who will become My friends and My followers. If you work like the Apostles, you will win a great reward in heaven. I bless you.”

"If you love Me, you will love My Church"


Dear Friends,

 

The Mission of the Twelve


Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him. (Matthew 10:1–4)


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


“Soon after I started My public life, I selected My twelve Apostles. These twelve men were to play an important role in establishing My Church. At the beginning I gave them authority to drive out the evil spirits and to cure the sick. As the Son of God, I had the power to do these things and I passed it on to the twelve I called to be Apostles.

 

These lived with Me during the three years of My public life. They listened to My teachings, they saw the miracles I performed such as raising Lazarus to life and how I chased evil spirits from the people and how I cured the sick.


It was at Pentecost that the Church was born when Peter went out and preached to the people who had gathered in front of the building where the Holy Spirit came down on the Apostles and those gathered with them. That day about three thousand people were baptized and became My followers. My chosen ones worked very well to begin My Church and many people joined it.

 

So My Church is the one built upon the Apostles with Peter as the head. Peter will remain the head of the Church until the end of the world through his successor, the Bishop of Rome. The successors of the other Apostles are the Bishops who are in union with the Bishop of Rome. The priests are also successors of the Apostles.

 

All the Apostles except John are martyrs who died for their faith. They are to be honored in My Church for they are great examples of holiness and dedication. One Apostle, Judas Iscariot, betrayed Me and it would have been better if he had not been born. If you love Me, you will love My Church and be an active member. I love you.”

"The Church nourishes the Life of God in you"


Dear Friends,


The Compassion of Jesus


Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.

 

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few, so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Matthew 9:35–38)


Below is the message of Our Lady given to Joseph. Our Blessed Mother spoke to him these words,


“During His public life, My Son Jesus worked very hard going through every village or town throughout the country proclaiming the Kingdom of God
. He had come to inaugurate the Kingdom and He wants that all the peoples of the world enter His Kingdom.


I was part of His Kingdom from the beginning and I pray always for all the members that they will grow in holiness every day. I also pray for those who are not yet part of the Kingdom that they will come to believe in their Savior and be baptized and so be part of the Kingdom.

 

All those who are in the Kingdom and follow what Jesus, My Son, has taught them will receive eternal life and be in heaven one day. You are all called to pray with great love and with the heart and you will receive the graces and strength you need.

 

Prayer is essential for you as a member of the Kingdom for it waters the life of God in you. Be an active member of the Church founded by My Son for the Church is the door of the Kingdom. The Church nourishes the Life of God in you and brings you great gifts. I love you all.”

"Have faith in Me today and every day"


Dear Friends,

 

The Healing of a Paralytic


Jesus entered a boat, made the crossing, and came into his own town. And there people brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Courage, child, your sins are forgiven.” At that, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.”

 

Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, “Why do you harbor evil thoughts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Yours sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic, “Rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.”

 

He rose and went home. When the crowds saw this they were struck with awe and glorified God who has given such authority to human beings. (Matthew 9:1–8)


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


“At times I used certain healings to teach the people a certain truth. The words I said to the paralytic man were these, ‘Courage, child, your sins are forgiven.’ This shows that I have the power to forgive sins. The scribes knew that only God has the power to do such a thing. If I forgive people, then I must have divine power.

 

To show them that I had this power, I then told the paralytic, ‘Rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.’ Immediately he got up, took his stretcher and went home. Through this miracle the people believed that indeed I had power greater than any human being.


This power of healing I can give to any person. I gave this power to the Apostles whom I sent out two by two to visit the villages and heal the sick. Indeed many sick were healed through this power. Today there are many in every country who are channels of My healing power.

 

This shows that I continue My healing ministry although nobody sees Me. Through these healings, you can come to believe that I am the Son of God with all the power of God. Indeed I am truly human but I am also divine. Have faith in Me today and every day.”

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 13 - DEVOTE YOUR PRAYERS TO ME


"Lent this year, according to the Holy Father's invitation, emphasizes our essential rapport with the Eucharist. ... I would like to summarize in three points our Lenten commitment:

1.The liturgy of the Church ... is the first instrument of authentic evangelization;

 

2. On Sundays we rediscover the Eucharist; and

 

3. With the Eucharist we rediscover the rapport between liturgy and life" [which demands] "resolute witnessing to true values: the family, personal honesty, commitments deriving from marriage, priestly celibacy and religious life ... without which there is no true spirit of poverty" (Cardinal James Francis Stafford, Feb. 9, 2005).
 

 

Mother Teresa  -

 
The humbler the work, the greater should be your love and efficiency.


Meditations by Padre Pio -


Prayer must be insistent since insistence denotes faith.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
 
 
 
Embracing the etimology of kindness

 
"The word `kindness' is derived from kindred or kin, and therefore implies an affection which we bear naturally to those who are our flesh and blood. The original and archetypal kindness is that of a parent for a child and a child for a parent, an idea which is preserved in the German language where Kind means `child.' Gradually the word gained in extension until it embraced anyone whom we are to treat as a


St. Faustina's diary 


Jesus, my Love, today gave me to understand how much He loves me, although there is such an enormous gap between us, the Creator and the creature; and yet, in a way, there is something like equality: love fills up the gap. He Himself descends to me and makes me capable of communing with Him.

 

I immerse myself in Him, losing myself as it were; and yet, under His loving gaze, my soul gains strength and power and an awareness that it loves and is especially loved. It knows that the Mighty One protects it. Such prayer, though short, benefits the soul greatly, and whole hours of ordinary prayer do not give the soul that light which is given by a brief moment of this higher form of prayer.       (815)


I have come to understand today that even if I did not accomplish any of the things the Lord is demanding of me, I know that I shall be rewarded as if I had fulfilled everything, because He sees the intention with which I begin, and even if He called me to himself today, the work would not suffer at all by that, because He himself is the Lord of both the work and the worker.

 

My part is to love Him to folly; all works are nothing more than a tiny drop before Him. It is love that has meaning and power and merit. He has opened up great horizons in my soul-love compensates for the chasms.       (822)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press
 
 
Feb 13 - DEVOTE YOUR PRAYERS TO ME
 
From a monthly message in 1988:


Dear children, again I call you to prayer and complete surrender to God. You know that I love you, and have come here out of love so that I could show you the way to peace -- and to salvation for your souls. Do not let Satan corrupt you -- obey me in this. Satan is very strong and therefore I ask you to devote your prayers to me, so that those who are under his influence may be saved. Witness by your lives.

 

Sacrifice your lives for the salvation of the world. Know that I am with you and am grateful to you' in heaven you will receive the Father's reward, as he has promised. And so, dear children, do not be afraid. If you pray, Satan cannot harm you in the least, for you are God's children and he watches over you. Pray, and let the rosary always be in your hands as a sign to Satan that you belong to me (Monthly Message 3-25-88).
 
 
In Matthew's gospel, Jesus also calls us to prayer. Note that the Our Father contains a prayer against Satan as well: "and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." In Matthew, this petition is expressed in these words: "And do not bring us to the time of trial, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13).
 
 
Reflection:
At times we may notice that our prayer has become too self-centered. This is an opportunity to again focus on others, on "we" rather than "I", which is the spirit of the Lord's Prayer. In this vein, Charles Thompson writes:


You can not pray the Lord's Prayer and even once say "I."
You can not pray the Lord's Prayer and even once say "My." Nor can you pray the Lord's Prayer, and not pray for another; for when you ask for daily bread, you must include your brother.


For others are included in each and every plea: from the beginning to the end of it, it does not once say "Me."
 
 
Application:
Review the focus of your prayer today. Is it weighted more to yourself or to others? How can you correct the imbalance?
 

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 15 - A YEAR FOR YOUTH - Sr Lucia dies at 97


 "The prayer of the Rosary, or five decades of it, after the Sacred Liturgy of the Eucharist, is what most unites us to God by the richness of the prayers . . . we see that it is indeed a Trinitarian and a Eucharistic prayer, even more than a Marian one.  I do not know if we can find prayers more sublime or more appropriate to recite before the Blessed Sacrament" (Sr. Lucia of Fatima).

 

"It is from this fruit that other generation of this Immaculate Heart is to be fed, as Jesus said: 'I am the bread of life. He who eats my flesh and
drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As [...] I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me' (Jn 6:48, 56-57). And to live thus because of Christ is also to live because of Mary, since Jesus had received his body and blood from Mary.

 

 It was in this Heart that the Father placed his Son, as if in the first Tabernacle. Mary was the first pyx that held him, and it was the blood of her Immaculate Heart which communicated to the Son of God his life and his human nature from which we all, in turn, receive 'grace upon grace'" (Jn 1:16). (Sister Lucia of Fatima)

 

Meditations by Padre Pio   
   
Jesus and your soul must cultivate the vineyard together. It is for you to pick up and carry away the stones, to pull out the thorn bushes. It is the task of Jesus to sow, plant, cultivate, to water.  

 

Mother Teresa  -
Jesus, you have given everything, life, blood, all.
Now it is my turn.
I put everything into the field also.
The common soldier fights in the ordinary lines, but the devoted one tries to be near the captain to share his fate.
This is the spirit of Christ.


 Meditations by Padre Pio -
I will never tire of praying to Jesus. It is true that my prayers deserve punishment rather than reward, for I have offended Jesus only too often by my innumerable sins; but in the end He will be moved to pity.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
 
 The golden rule of love!
"Since God finds us lovable because He put some of His love into us, so we can find others lovable because we put some of our love into them. But to do this implies a basic kindness which is always prepared to be pleasant with other people."


St. Faustina's diary -
I am reliving these moments with Our Lady. With great longing, I am waiting for the Lord's coming. Great are my desires. I desire that all humankind come to know the Lord. I would like to prepare all nations for the coming of the Word Incarnate. O Jesus, make the fount of Your mercy gush forth more abundantly, for humankind is seriously ill and thus has more need than ever of Your compassion. You are a bottomless sea of mercy for us sinners; and the greater the misery, the more right we have to Your mercy. You are a fount which makes all creatures happy by Your infinite mercy.       (793)

 

During Holy Mass, the little Infant Jesus brings joy to my soul. Often, distance does not exist-I see a certain priest who brings Him down. I am awaiting Christmas with great yearning; I am living in expectation together with the Most Holy Mother.       (829)

 

December 23, 1936. I am spending this time with the Mother of God and preparing myself for the solemn moment of the coming of the Lord Jesus. The Mother of God is instructing me in the interior life of the soul with Jesus, especially in Holy Communion. It is only in eternity that we shall know the great mystery effected in us by Holy Communion. O most precious moments of my life!       (840)

Feb 15 - A YEAR FOR YOUTH

 

The Blessed Mother speaks of youth today:

Dear children, from today I would like you to begin a special "year for youth." Pray for young people during this year; talk with them. Today our young people find themselves in a very difficult situation, and so I ask you to help each other....Pray, dear children (Visionary Prayer Group 8-15-88).

 

In his first letter to Timothy, St. Paul encourages his young friend:

Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity (Tim 4:12).

 

Reflection:

 

Both Our Lady and St. Paul emphasize the special role of young people in the church. Paul's friend Timothy was a young leader in the early church at Ephesus, of whom the apostle wrote: "I have no one like him who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. All of them are seeking their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ."

 

In Timothy's assignment at Ephesus, Paul knew that it would be easy for older Christians to question his leadership because of his youth, but he earned their respect by setting an example in his teaching, life, love and faith. Regardless of age, the Lord uses us in his great plan of salvation. Clearly the zeal and enthusiasm of youth are not only treasures of the church, but also its bright future.

 

Application:

 

Let us simply heed the Madonna's advice today: "Pray for young people, talk with them."

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 14 - ST. VALENTINES DAY

 

 "Our Lord finished His work, but we have not finished ours.  He pointed the way we must follow.  He laid down the Cross at the finish, but we must take it up.  He finished Redemption in His physical Body, but we have not finished it in His Mystical Body.  He has finished salvation, we have not yet applied it to our souls.  He has finished the Temple, but we must live in it.  He has finished the model Cross, we must fashion ours to its pattern. 

 

He has finished sowing the seed, we must reap the harvest.  He has finished filling the chalice, but we have not finished drinking its refreshing draughts.  He has planted the wheat field; we must gather it into our barns.  He has finished the sacrifice of Calvary; we must finish the Mass. 

 

The Crucifixion was not meant to be an inspirational drama, but a pattern act on which to model our lives.  We are not meant to sit and watch the Cross as something done and ended . . . What was done on Calvary avails for us only in the degree that we repeat it in our own lives" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Calvary and the Mass).
 

"I have a burning thirst
to be honored by men

in the Blessed Sacrament,
and I find hardly anyone
who strives, according to my desire,
to allay this thirst by making
me some return of love."
(Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary
)

 


Mother Teresa  -


Be not afraid of the life of sacrifice.


Padre Pio -


The prayers of the saints in Heaven and of just souls on earth are perfume which will never be wasted.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen - 
 
 
A kind person is one of a kind!


"Because kindness is related to love, it follows that the kind person loves another not for the pleasure the other person gives, nor because the other person can do us a kindness in return, but because the other person is loveable in himself. The basic reason why everyone is lovable is because God made him."

 

St. Faustina's diary -


 In the evening, a great longing took possession of my soul. I took the pamphlet with the Image of the Merciful Jesus on it and pressed it to my heart, and the following words burst forth from my soul: "Jesus, Eternal Love, I live for You, I die for You, and I want to become united with You."

 

Suddenly I saw the Lord in His inexpressible beauty. He looked at me graciously and said, My daughter, I too came down from heaven out of love for you; I lived for you, I died for you, and I created the heavens for you.

 

And Jesus pressed me to His Heart and said to me, Very soon now; be at peace, My daughter. When I was alone, my soul was set afire with the desire to suffer until the moment when the Lord would say, "Enough." And even if I were to live for thousands of years, I see in the light of God that is but one moment. Souls...[unfinished thought].       (853)

 
 During the morning meditation, I felt an aversion and a repugnance for all created things. Everything pales before my eyes; my spirit is detached from all things. I desire only God himself, and yet I must live. This is a martyrdom beyond description. God imparts himself to the soul in a loving way and draws it into the infinite depths of His divinity, but at the same time He leaves it here on earth for the sole purpose that it might suffer and die of longing for Him.

 

And this strong love is so pure that God himself finds pleasure in it; and self-love has no access to its deeds, for here everything is totally saturated with bitterness, and thus is totally pure.

 

Life is a continuous dying, painful and terrible, and at the same time it is the depth of true life and of inconceivable happiness and the strength of the soul; and because of this, [the soul] is capable of great deeds for the sake of God.       (856)

Feb 14 - ST. VALENTINE'S DAY


On this Valentine's Day, the Blessed Mother asks for our hearts:


Dear children, today I invite you to offer me your hearts so that I can change them to be like my own. You ask yourselves why you are not able to satisfy my requests? You are not able to because you have not entrusted your hearts to me, so that I can change them. You give me words, but you do not act. So then, do all that I tell you. Only in that way can I be with you (Weekly Message 5-15-86).


Reflection:


On this feast of St. Valentine, Our Lady asks for our hearts, "so I can change them to be like my own." Once we give them, they are filled with God's own life and love; indeed, they are made eternal:


See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is (1 Jn 3:1-2).


This is the great inheritance of love, a gift beyond imagining -- to share in the very life of God.


This is also the reason Our Lady asks for our hearts today, that she can begin to transform them into the image of her Son's. We can then begin to live the life of heaven while on earth, embracing others with the divine love that has been given to us. As St. Teresa of Avila wrote:


O soul in God hidden from sin,
What more desires for thee remain,
Save but to love, and love again,
And all on flame with love within,
Love on, and turn to love again?
 
 
 
Application:
In prayer today, simply ask the Lord to deepen his love within your heart.

Friday Service - For all those falsely accused within society, governments and within Church circles; that all calumnies are exposed by truth.


Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says: "I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."


"My brothers and sisters, I desire that all people and all nations take up their rest in Our United Hearts; for it is through Holy and Divine Love you will arrive at peace in your hearts and in the world. Without this union you will have only temporary peace, temporary respites from war and terrorism, but nothing lasting. Pray for those who do not respond to My call."

 

"Tonight I'm imparting to you My Blessing of Divine Love."

The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.AfrSaturday, February 06, 2010

 "He is your great friend"


Dear Friends,

 The True Family of Jesus

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him. Someone told him, Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you.But he said in reply to the one who told him, Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother. (Matthew 12:46–50)

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,

My dear brother, I bless you and I bless all My children living in every country in the world. I was chosen as the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God, who is the Savior of the world. As a mother, I love Him wholeheartedly and I wanted to be with Him at all times.

I knew He was chosen to establish His Kingdom and to found His Church and at the end He offered Himself in sacrifice on the cross for the salvation of all the people of the world. It was on the cross before He died that He chose Me to be your Mother. It was also at the cross that the sword pierced My heart because of the terrible suffering I underwent in seeing My dear Son dying in such horrible pain.

At times when My Son Jesus was traveling in different parts of Israel I would go and meet Him. It was the great longing of My heart to see Him again. I also came to know the Apostles He had chosen who would be the leaders in His Church. I would travel with Jesus’ brothers whom you would call cousins, as they were the sons of Joseph’s brothers.

I call you, My sons and daughters, to renew your love for My Son Jesus. Read the Bible especially the Gospels where you have the very words of Jesus. He came to teach you the truth and what you are to do to be His disciples.

 Obey Him in all things and you will be blessed. My mission is to bring each one of you to Him, that you believe in Him with all your heart and be men and women of prayer. He is always ready to listen to you if you come to Him with great faith and full of love. He is your great friend.

The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.Afr

"Through them I show you My love"


Dear Friends,

 The Answer to Prayers


Jesus said, Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.(Matthew 7:7:12)

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

If you believe in Me, My friends, you will ask Me for what you need in prayer. I always listen to every prayer and I answer them but not always in the same way you ask. Sometimes I will delay My answer to see if you have perseverance but when you do, then I will give you what you need if it is according to the Father’s will.

The Father is always ready to give you the graces you need if you open your heart to Him. Before you come to ask for what you need, it is good that you repent of all your sins and desire to follow the Ten Commandments given to you by the Father. The Father blesses you if you are humble and if you repent of all your sins.

When I was on earth many people came to Me to ask for a healing. I would place My hand on each one’s head and simply say be healed and the person was healed. I have given to some the gift of healing and I want you to go to these people and ask them for what you need.

They will lay their hands on you and pray for whatever healing you need. I listen to such prayers and I grant to many an important healing. You know that these have the gift of healing when people with whom they pray are healed. Respect such people and come to ask them for their prayers. Through these healers I am working all over the world to cure those in need. Through them I show you My love.

FEAST OF ST. BLAISE!
 
L. began to receive words from our Blessed Mother and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other numerous prayers of testing)  
 
 Then Mother Mary spoke, "Dear children, you do not realize all the catastrophes that could be lessened or completely done away with IF you'd love, honor and obey your Lord, God and Savior.

    Prayer is your powerful weapon against satan and all evil.  If you push God out of your life  He will soon remove His Divine Mercy.  His Mercy endures forever to those who love Him and daily seek to do His Will. His Love too is everlasting to those who love Him.

    Return to my Son Jesus and return to your Father God.  Praise Them!  Thank Them!  Give Them all your love- - -your fiat.

    God has given humanity extra time to repent and to return to Him yet, humankind seek only monentary, sinful pleasure- -pleasures of the body, wealth, prestige.  Very few people are humble.

    End time signs are all around you yet you refuse to see them.  Open your eyes children.  Change your lives, your desires, your thoughts.
 
Repent!  Time is extremely short before God ends His Hour of Mercy.  Hear His loving call.  Don't be one of those left out of the 'final roll call'!  Return while there is yet life within you. 
 
     Call to me, His mother, and I will assist you by leading you on the road - -narrow road- -to sanctity.
 
     I love you my children and want to lose NO one of you.
 
Your mother, mother of God- -Jesus,

Mary."
 

Message Thru Marie January 30, 2010

Jan 30 Saturday 8"15 am joyful mysteries

Mama Mary: write about your dream, it is ok my child.

Me: This morning i was shown a very Huge wave,
nothing like ache. Then I got the number
9 (nine), 9 stories high? 9 buildings high?
Since I was dreaming I didn't question yet
so it was 9 buildings high !

It was when I woke up that I said to
myself impossible - that's ridiculous, that's too
high, too much water. Since I wasn't shown
where this took place - what coast, I just shrugged it off.

Anyway, they say prayers can mitigate, delay,
reduce, severity of pending events. I urge
everyone to pray to reduce if not totally
stop such an event from happening. Kindly help me with this.

Mama Mary: What you dreamt my child was real.
It will occur in your imminent future so pray to reduce this
sentence.
Pray while there is still time.
Go back to my Son. Any other path you
pursue will mislead you.

I heard your prayers for X, continue praying for X.

Messages to John Leary. Jan. 19-Feb.1, 2010

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

Jesus said: My people, a church will succeed where the priests and the bishops are inspired enough to make it work. You have two major problems in a shortage of priests, and a dropping attendance from the laity. There are plenty of vocations that I send to each diocese. If you are lacking in vocations, then you need to examine those who are operating your priest formation and those who are choosing your candidates.

There also needs to be a proper fertile ground of holiness with prayer and Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament to encourage vocations. If you can inspire more vocations, then that part of your problem would help keep more lay people coming to church. When you do not have a pastor, then your people will leave to go to a church that has one. General attendance at Sunday Mass has been dropping because of the evil age that you are living in and because of the many distractions that are taking people into other faiths. My people need to be encouraged in their prayer life and their sacramental life. You have Me in Holy Communion and in My forgiveness in Confession.

Use My graces and sacramentals to protect yourself from your daily temptations. It is spiritual laziness that is affecting your vocations, and your attendance at Mass. Pray for the lukewarm to be re-converted and for conversions of your young people who are leaving your churches. Pray for your priests and for vocations to stop the shortage of priests.

 Wednesday, January 20, 2010: (St. Fabian)

Jesus said: My people, it is one thing to complain and sit idly by watching life go by you. It is another thing to stand up to your persecutors and still proclaim the Gospel by fighting in peaceful demonstrations against your abortion court decision. When the people rise up against their evil-minded leaders, you can see how the pro-death candidates can be defeated.

This latest Health Plan in all of its backroom deals has infuriated the people, and they are taking action against the current administration’s plans to force a bad bill through the Congress. Even as David defeated Goliath, so the death culture people have lost a crucial Senate seat, halting their 60 vote majority.

Now you are seeing that the will of the people can still override the one world people if you take action as a group over their power. Call on My power in prayer and you can even move political mountains.

Jesus said: My people, to create a need for a National Emergency, the one world people could use various terrorist plots to either destroy some major buildings, spread a deadly Swine Flu virus, or poison your water. These attacks on your air, water, or your electric grid are your most vulnerable targets. This is why the elite have their underground bunkers so they can protect themselves from any means of cutting down the population.

 The death culture people are planning to reduce the population dramatically, and the quickest way is through a highly contagious and deadly pandemic virus. This could be spread by release through chemtrails or spreading the disease by putting live virus in the flu shots.

The evil ones already have an antidote vaccine to protect themselves. This is why I have told you, when you see many people dying from a new virus, it is time to go to your refuges by calling on Me to lead you with your guardian angels. You will be healed by looking on My luminous cross at My refuges. Trust in My protection when martial law will be declared.

 

Thursday, January 21, 2010: (St. Agnes)

Jesus said: My people, the people of America are speaking loud and clear to their elected officials through the ballet box that they are opposed to your government’s favoritism in the latest Health bill. Pushing through major Stimulus and Bailout spending has only bailed out the banks and the rich who stole the money from the people in the stock market. These central bankers are not loaning enough money to small businesses, and their low interest rates are hurting your savers.

The corporations have sent many jobs overseas that will not return at the expense of your own workers. While the rich are getting huge bonuses for failing, the everyday worker’s wages and benefits are dropping, in addition to high unemployment. It is no wonder that the people are backlashing the overspending and the increasing National Debt which is out of control.

One thing is clear that the voice of the people is even making the one world people give pause for their agenda that is ruining your country. If your people do not take back your country from the evils that are going on, then America will fall very quickly into the one world people’s control. Pray for your people in government to change their ways, and pray for the poor and unemployed who are suffering to survive.

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: My people, in the early days of your nation’s founding, freedom had a different meaning from today. Most of the people who came to America were fleeing persecution, and they wanted to be free of any English tyranny. Your people here have been free of big government to some extent.

Now freedom means more about freedom from the threat of big government and chips controlling your lives. Chips in the body will take away your free will, so your people are fighting to keep your freedoms instead of someone taking them away. Pray for spiritual freedom from the evil ways of your earthly society.

Jesus said: My people, some people have had visions of angels and souls traveling up holy stairways to heaven. I have shown you how each day is another step toward heaven as you perfect your spiritual life. This working on your perfection over the course of your life can be a struggle to keep climbing every day to meet your goal to be with Me. But once you reach heaven, you will be thankful that you strived to keep on track to follow Me. Continue on your path, and work to bring souls with you on your way to heaven.


Jesus said: My people, a few weeks ago you were enjoying a time without much testing from world disasters. Now your heart goes out to help the poor and hungry people who are suffering from the earthquakes in Haiti. People in California and elsewhere are suffering from severe flooding and mud slides. When your homes and survival are threatened, you start to realize what is most important in your life, and that is your faith and trust in Me. Call on My help in prayer, and give your donations to help these people through their trials.

Jesus said: My people, when you were suffering blizzard snow and some had no power, it was very difficult to manage a normal life. Once the snow has melted, you are getting a respite from your winter weather. No matter where you live, there can always be some kind of trial or disaster that you will have to bear. It is comforting to know that other people will come to your aid when you have to endure hard times. Even some are having bad financial times with high unemployment and a recession. Pray for My help and reach out to help others when you have the opportunity.

Jesus said: My people, it is one thing to have your physical life threatened by natural disasters. It is another thing to prepare for a time when your spiritual life will be in danger as well. During the coming tribulation you will experience an evil that you have yet to see. Demons will be testing you all over, and you will need to seek My protection at My refuges where My angels will do battle for you against the evil ones.

Be thankful that you will have safe havens to go to as the evil of this world brings about the reign of the Antichrist. Have trust in Me and patience until I will defeat the Antichrist and cast the evil ones into hell. I will prepare a place for you both in My Era of Peace and in heaven for all those who remain faithful to Me.

Jesus said: My people, when you read or see such tribal people offering up their infants as sacrifices, you think that they are very brutal and inhumane to do such things. Yet, when you kill your babies in the womb, you are no better when you offer their lives up to your gods of pleasure, lust, and convenience. Tomorrow is the anniversary of your court decision that legalized abortion in America. I tell you that you may have evil laws as this, but you still are committing a grave sin of murder against My Fifth Commandment for every abortion. It is this blood on your hands that is condemning your country to your coming destruction. Pray to stop abortion both in America and in other countries as well.

Jesus said: My people, there are some couples, that are childless, and they are praying to have a successful pregnancy. Yet, other mothers are discarding the miracles of conception that some would love to have. Even if these mothers gave up their babies for adoption, it would be far better than taking a life against God’s plan. Encourage mothers to avoid abortion and teach them how valuable every life is and how precious each life is to Me who created that soul and life.

 Friday, January 22, 2010: (Row vs. Wade Anniversary)

Jesus said: My people, in the Early Christian era you were sought out and killed if you practiced your Christian faith. Even today in some communist countries you risk jail or martyrdom for being a Christian. Many of these early martyrs became saints and were canonized by My Church. Also today, you have new martyrs in all of the babies being killed by abortion.

Your society, by its laws, has little respect for life in the womb and even life at the end in old age. Any kind of killing is not acceptable behavior in My eyes. Self-defense and just war situations may be justified in self-preservation, but any other killing is against My Fifth Commandment.

When you are allowed to kill by abortion or euthanasia, your society does not appreciate how precious life is to be honored. Your marches for life on this day of the court decision bring to mind every year how brutal and inhumane your people are in killing their own children. You have read studies of the increased abuse of your children, but killing them is the ultimate abuse.

If people can be tried for murder in killing their born children, why should they not be tried for murder for killing their unborn children? Your laws in this area are not consistent, and they are against My laws which is more important. Work to stop abortion in your prayers and actions. Even if people persecute you for being outspoken about murdering My babies, be willing to stand up for a greater good against your evil society.

Jesus said: My people, as adults you are already alive and you see some mothers having abortions that you are praying would have their babies. Too often abortions are performed to hide affairs outside of marriage or when married people do not want to have any more children.

If you were the soul in a forming baby that was at risk of being killed, you would be praying for loving parents who would not even consider having an abortion. If you were a forming baby who was being aborted, it would seem like an unexpected terror to be killed by your own mother. Mothers need to think of life as precious, and babies are too valuable to be slaughtered like an animal that you would use for meat.

These little ones are defenseless and vulnerable in needing care for their survival. You should only have the marriage act if you are married and are willing to bear any children that result from your relations. Adultery and fornication are mortal sins requiring Confession, but abortion compounds these sins with a worse sin of murder.

All unborn babies are human beings and not just flesh only. Each unborn baby has a soul and a body that the parents are responsible for. When you think about abortion from the baby’s point of view, abortion becomes a much more serious crime. This is why your society is very evil when it thinks that these lives are expendable. Pray for all mothers to avoid abortion at all costs, even if having a baby may be embarrassing to the parents.

 Saturday, January 23, 2010

Jesus said: My people, when I was on the earth in human form, I took many liberties to do My mission, and My life is an example to all Christians not to be afraid to step out in faith. When you were baptized, you were given the grace to carry out your own mission and help save souls.

When people are paralyzed with fear to fight the political correctness of your society, then they will refuse to fight against abortion. Many times even in My own efforts, I did things to show the hypocrisy of many of the actions of the religious authorities.

It takes spiritual courage to stand up for the morally right decisions. Taking a correct stand by My laws will gain you a reward in heaven, even if you will suffer in this world. Whenever you are faced with making decisions, always take the morally high road, despite any repercussions.

Jesus said: My people, I have given you several messages on the Swine Flu shots with an emphasis on not to take it. Every time another wave of disease comes out, the authorities start offering free Swine Flu shots. They are not truly free because your government pays the drug companies to distribute the shots. Many of these diseases are man-made, but the vaccine shots can damage your immune system and cause other problems for years.

Some develop Gulf War type reactions to the shots, while others do not see any immediate effects. The mercury preservative and the squalene in some shots are the most damaging to your health. These diseases and viruses, that are being spread, are meant to reduce the population as part of the death culture plan to make an easier takeover of your country.

The Health Plan is part of their grab for power to control your medications and operations. This plan will now have a harder time to pass through the Senate without enough votes to by-pass the Republicans. The people are waking up to the threat against their freedoms. They are finally taking some action to block your president’s plan to push an unfavorable bill through by backroom trickery. Pray to protect your health and freedoms from the one world people who want to control you.

 Sunday, January 24, 2010

Jesus said: My people, you have read in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 4:18-19) The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed Me; to bring good news to the poor He has sent Me, to proclaim to the captives release, and sight to the blind; to set at liberty the oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompense. After reading this passage from Isaiah, I sat down and said: (Luke 4:21)

Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing. The people of Nazareth at first did not realize that I was declaring Myself the Messiah. Later, they understood when I made it clear that I was sent from God, but they could not stand hearing what I proclaimed, and they tried to kill Me. I walked through their midst because it was not My hour. This is another acknowledgment that a prophet is not accepted in his own town because they have little faith. Trust in My words and imitate My actions in your own life.

 Monday, January 25, 2010: (Conversion of St. Paul)


Jesus said: My people, what you are seeing in this vision is a spring time experience with blooming flowers. Sometimes your life is like the winter weather where all the plant life seems dull and dead. This is when you need a retreat or a spiritual awakening to put some spirit back into your life.

If you truly believe in your Christian faith, then you should look forward to every day as a new opportunity to do something for Me and your neighbor out of love. If you do everything only for yourself, then your life will be dull. Conversion, as with St. Paul, can wake you up to your real purpose on earth to know, love and serve Me. Wake up out of your complacency, and you truly will feel alive in the Spirit.

Jesus said: My people, you would be amazed to see the process of how your money is created through bonds and Federal Notes. The documents are all debt instruments that make up a part of your trillions of dollars of the National Debt. People from here and various countries buy these notes and bonds, expecting to be paid back interest in more debt notes.

As long as people accept these notes as backed by the taxpayer and your net worth, these notes have value. The larger your National Debt is as a percentage of your GDP, then the value of your money decreases. The more the Federal Reserve monetizes your debt, the more chance that they are going to inflate your dollar. In days past you had real money in gold and silver as a currency. Once you accepted Federal Notes, there is no intrinsic value to your paper money.

This has allowed your central bankers to control you by the loans you are making to the Federal Reserve, which is not a part of your government. Once people stop buying your Treasury Notes, you will go into bankruptcy with no market to sell your debt and interest. This is why gold and silver will always be more valuable than your paper promises to pay. This bankruptcy could happen any time, and everything denominated in dollars will become worthless as the one world people will use ameros to replace your dollars.

Do not put faith and trust in your money or your possessions because they can be stolen, devalued, or lost. Put your faith and trust in Me because I can always be trusted to treat you fairly and protect your souls. Keep close to Me in your prayers and your obedience to My Commandments.

 Tuesday, January 26, 2010: (St. Timothy and St. Titus)

Jesus said: My people, this vision of a great divide in the rock of the mountains is a sign of the coming division in My Church. Even as you are seeing the early structure in My Church in the readings, there were problems that caused divisions in My Church before. Wherever you see division and confusion, you know that Satan is there trying to destroy My Church.

Because of My promises, I will always defend My Church from the gates of hell. The coming division I have given you many times in My messages, and there will be such a division between a schismatic church and My faithful remnant. The schismatic church will be teaching New Age which is not about God, and that the sexual sins are no longer serious sins.

My angels and the Holy Spirit will be guiding My faithful remnant, even when you may need to celebrate Mass in the homes and later at My refuges. Trust in My leading you even throughout the coming tribulation.


Camille Remacle’s birthday (Carol’s father): He said: I want to comfort My family that I am still praying and watching out for all of you. Continue to watch over Lydia and Vic, for they are in need of your help. My signs around you will be less frequent, and more around my day of death than my birthday.


Jesus said: My people, after the earthquake in Haiti, there were massive problems with dead bodies and looting. The American military has helped a lot in aid distribution and keeping order. Some countries are concerned that America could be an occupying army in a takeover of Haiti.

Seeing the military in a disaster situation brings back memories of the military in keeping order in New Orleans. You can see how a natural disaster or a man-made disaster could precipitate a larger takeover in America, under the pretense of a national emergency or martial law.

The military could easily be called in to manage such a crisis. This is the opportunity that the one world people are looking for to bring about their North American Union. All of these events will be leading up to the Antichrist taking over these unions. Trust in My protection and My providing for your needs at My refuges.

 Wednesday, January 27, 2010: (St. Angela Merici)

Jesus said: My people, My parable about the sower of seed is all about how people receive Me in My Word. When I was on the earth, the people only heard the parables without the explanations that I gave My apostles. But today My Word in the Bible is available to everyone who wishes to read it in various languages. The seed in the parable is the Word of God, and how it is received, will determine how everyone will bear fruit.

Those, who do not have deep roots of faith, or those, who are choked by the cares of the world, will not bear much fruit because Satan steals the will to believe out of their hearts. But those, who listen and act on My Word, are the ones who bear fruit thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.

Those, who truly love Me and desire to be with Me, are the ones who receive Me in Holy Communion often and visit Me in My Blessed Sacrament in Adoration. This alternating vision of Me and My Sacred Host is to emphasize My Real Presence in every consecrated Host.

This gift of My Presence with you is how I strengthen you with My graces so you can resist the temptations of the devil. You have Confession when you fail, so you always have an opportunity to be with Me. Go forward and share My Gospel of love with all those that you meet so they can have the same experience of My loving Presence.

Jesus said: My people, it was the rich hedge funds and Wall Street derivatives that really were the culprits of your latest bank system failure. Then when they lost money on speculative home loans that had more risk than was made public, the rich had the government and AIG bailout their losses as too big to fail.

There was little or no regulation of these derivatives or risky home loans. A combination of bank and stimulus spending, along with near zero interest loans from the taxpayer have bailed out the banks on their bad debts. This was a created economic crisis to cause a recession and high unemployment as a means to bankrupt your economy.

Even though many lost money, it was the man in the street who saw his investments stolen, his job taken, and his house devalued. But the rich were allowed to regain their losses at the taxpayer’s expense. These are the injustices that I will hold the cheaters and swindlers on Wall Street accountable for at their judgment.

The one world people will reign over you for a short time with the Antichrist, but I will come and cast this whole evil lot into hell for all of their greed and killing. Then I will renew the earth and bring about My Era of Peace. Have patience for now as you go to My refuges of protection, because you will be happy with Me, but the evil ones will languish in hell with the devil tormenting them.

 Thursday, January 28, 2010: (St. Thomas Aquinas)

Jesus said: My people, I have invited My faithful to take time to visit Me in My Blessed Sacrament in contemplative prayer. After you receive Me in Holy Communion at Mass, you usually do not have a lot of quiet time to hear My words to your heart. That is why at Adoration you have more time for meditation and listening to what I want you to do.

Also, your time in Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament is a preparation for what it will be like in heaven as My saints and angels are always praising Me in song and adoration. Give thanks to Me for My two great gifts of My salvation in My death on the cross, and My Real Presence in My Blessed Sacrament. My sacraments are the fullness of the faith that are missing in other religions. So enjoy this intimate closeness with Me that you have in My Blessed Sacrament.

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: My people, it has been a tragedy in Haiti where many have lost their lives in the rubble from the earthquake. Another tragedy is how many young children, who were fortunate to survive, are now orphans because their parents have either died or they have been separated from each other. Some orphans have been adopted in America, but the rest will need help to continue surviving. Pray for these people and continue your donations for their basic needs.

Jesus said: My people, driving in blizzard snow is very risky, and you have seen some major pileups in your recent storms. Sometimes it may be better to avoid driving in real bad weather if it can be put off. Pray for the safety of your workers who have to battle the storms to make a living. Living in the North has its trials in dealing with the snow, ice, and windy cold.

Jesus said: My people, at times wearing gold jewelry may be tempting someone to steal any valuable jewelry. You have seen such theft in Venezuela on one of your trips to Betania. In certain places it is prudent not to wear such an expensive necklace. You have noticed how many are turning in their gold things because they are more valuable now.

The gold maintains its buying power, but it is your dollar that is losing its value. When commodities such as gold increase in price rapidly, then you can see how quickly your dollar’s value is deteriorating due to your rising deficits. Trust in Me more than any of your valuables.


Jesus said: My people, it is this time of year that many start taking vacations in warmer climates. Older people or retirees have more opportunity to live down in the Southern states in the winter. Those, who endure the winter cold and snow are hearty and may not have the time or money to travel to the South.

Every area of your country has its risks to live in. The South must bear hot summers and possible hurricanes. The North has its cold, and the West endures fires, mud slides, and earthquakes. Pray that you live in as safe an area as possible. Offer up your pain and suffering for souls, as everyone is tested by trials in this life.

Jesus said: My people, at times in history you are blessed with some gifted doctors of the Church in their writings. St. Thomas has left you with many valuable books and even some beautiful hymns to honor My Blessed Sacrament. You sing these hymns often at Adoration, as St. Thomas had a great love for Me in My Divinity. When you come to heaven, you will hear all kinds of beautiful music that gives honor and glory to Me.

Jesus said: My people, your business people are always using various holidays and occasions to sell their goods to those who prepare for these special days. Earthly love is part of your St. Valentine celebration. Marital love is a needed cornerstone for your families which are under attack in your society.

Many enjoy a good love story and it is good to see couples in love getting married. There is also a spiritual love for Me and your neighbor. Think of sharing valentines of love with Me as I show My love for you as well.

Jesus said: My people, think of how the world glorifies earthly things in this world with all of your high profile advertising. Your businesses try to entice you to buy many things that you do not need, and these things do not make you happy just to own them.

The real valuable things are those gifts from heaven as life itself and your faith. Desiring to lead good lives in preparation for heaven is a lot more rewarding than buying the latest things being advertised. Helping your neighbor with food, clothing, and shelter is again more rewarding than keeping your wealth just for yourself. Loving and sharing is what you should be doing instead of focusing on just your earthly desires.

Jesus said: My people, in the everyday course of doing your mission, some people have offered to help you. It is part of having a generous spirit to be able to welcome help from others, even when you could have done something yourself. I have asked people to be charitable in helping others in their needs, but when you have a need, then others might be willing to step forward in assisting you. So there is a twofold response to charity. One is being open to help others when the opportunity arises, and the other is being generous in accepting another’s offer to help.

By helping one another, then all of your missions can be fulfilled and people will feel satisfied that they could contribute to another’s needs. This is the spiritual reward that you receive from your charity, even when there was no physical reward. You would much rather store up heavenly treasure than be paid in earthly treasure.

Jesus said: My people, it is hard for people of faith to understand what would make a mother want to kill her own child by abortion. The numbers of abortions in America are staggering in even its effect on your population.

The repercussions of these killings are leading America down a path to your own destruction. I have asked you repeatedly to pray to stop your abortions, but your people seem to have no pity in their hearts for all the unborn babies who are being killed. Just because you do not see the dead babies, some may think it is easier to put them out of your mind.

This vision of hundreds of dead babies is real, and the disposal of these little lives does not even honor their deaths. They are many times treated as human garbage where some have to be incinerated to avoid an evil smell of dead bodies. If Americans do not heed My words to stop your abortions, then you are bringing your own destruction upon yourselves. Do whatever you can to close the abortion clinics without violence, and encourage your mothers to have their babies.

 Saturday, January 30, 2010:

Jesus said: My people, you are celebrating the life of Loretta as a very loving woman of faith who helped many people in her many activities. She was always doing all that she could do for her family and her friends. She was also a faithful daily Mass person and she spent many hours at Adoration. I have mentioned in other messages how My adorers are My special lovers, and they have a special place in My Heart.

The reward that I have for My adorers in heaven is a special place that I have prepared for them. Know that she is with Me in that place right now. Her life is a great model to imitate both in her physical and spiritual life. She is happy to be with Me and her husband.


Jesus said: My people, at the Mass you have the bread and wine that are later consecrated by the priest into My Body and Blood. I have told you many times that if you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you cannot have eternal life. Those, who partake of Communion every day, are that much closer to Me in My Blessed Sacrament. A time of persecution is coming when you may have to defend My Blessed Sacrament from the evil ones by carrying Me to a safe place. You may also have to take care of a priest and make a place for him to stay so you can have the Mass and My sacraments. Trust in My angel protection at My refuges and you will have no worries.

 Sunday, January 31, 2010

Jesus said: My people, many times your path to improving your spiritual life has been blocked by your complacency to take any action to improve it. The idea of this vision of a door blocking your way is a challenge to decide how to act and when to act. Until you open the door from the inside of your heart to Me, I cannot enter. So the first step to improving your life is to be open to My grace and change in your life.

The second step is to have enough belief in your faith that you are willing to reach out and try to understand your faith better with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. A third step to improving your spiritual life is to learn how to love Me and your neighbor more as you love yourself. You should have the intention in your heart to do everything out of love for Me without worry about the cost of how you will be viewed by the world.

 I am love itself, and you were created out of love. So love should be in your make-up by the life I give you as your inheritance. In order to accomplish any improvement in your spiritual life, you need a good prayer life and be humble in all that you succeed in doing. You are to give glory to Me for all of your accomplishments, and not just give all the credit to yourself.

When I ask you to love everyone, I want you to love even your enemies and your persecutors because My Light of grace shines on the good and the bad. See Me in every person so that it is this part of loving Me in them that will help your faith grow.

Listen to My words and let them touch your heart so you can truly grow and improve your spiritual life. It is this searching for perfection that will lead you on your path to sainthood. Remember that only saints can enter heaven, so ask Me to give you the grace to achieve your crown in heaven.

Jesus said: My people, all of these skulls represent how many babies are dying from abortion every year. The avalanche is a sign of how many abortions are being done in America which is in the thousands. If man cannot hold back all of these abortions from being performed, then I cannot hold back My arm of justice that will strike your country. All of these slain babies are martyrs who are having their reward in heaven. All of My faithful need to struggle to save your brothers and sisters from being murdered. Unless you do everything that you can to stop these abortions, then they will continue to condemn your land. If you truly love Me, then you will fight to save these lives from being killed. I love all of My people so much, but you must wake up your country to all the horrors going on in your abortion clinics.

Monday, February 1, 2010

Jesus said: My people, you have been blessed with having My Mass present to you, even daily for those who desire to come. The rain on the Mass represents the devil’s attempts to take you away from Me with sin and the world’s distractions. But his temptations only last a while and My sun comes out to protect you.

The other vision of a galaxy of souls circling around My Host in the monstrance represents how I will draw My faithful remnant to My places of refuge. It also is a little like heaven where everything revolves around Me, and is focused on Me. Many people do not fully believe that I created the universe and that I control all of the movements of the stars and the planets.

 For those, who do believe, you are the ones that also see My hand in all of your lives and how you are dependent on Me for everything. Give praise and glory to your Lord and continue to accept Me as Master of your life in following My mission for you.

Give thanks to Me for all that I do for you and My unconditional love for you. I only ask that you love Me and share My love with your neighbor as well. By keeping focused on Me in daily prayer, you can see how your life revolves around Me in all that you do.

"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."

"Once again I come to tell you that world peace will not come to you through man's attempts to be united with one another. Man must first and foremost be united with God; then unity amongst all people and all nations will be genuine and long lasting."

"If humanity attempts to unite under love of power, money or control, the union will be under the auspices of Satan himself. Such a union is not under My Finger of Protection and will not survive the ravages of time, the violence chosen by free will or freakish acts of nature. Such unions will be stripped of their power, riches and rights. These things mankind calls upon himself and are permitted by the Divine Will of My Father. As such, it is the ongoing process of the purification before My Triumphant Return."

"By your efforts, turn back the Hand of Judgment. Pray and sacrifice most especially for an end to the evil of abortion. This sin alone calls upon the wrath of God. He will act, if you do not act, to appease His Heart."

"Recognize the value of every present moment. In eternity you will fully realize the power of your free will choices for or against Holy Love in every moment. Since there is no time in eternity, you will no longer have the power to choose good over evil."

"I tell you these things now as a fair warning. Never oppose good, such as prayer, out of self-interest. Your agendas will come to naught and you will be stripped of your power."

(Temptation)

St Peter says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"Today I have come to underscore the greatest temptation in the world today. It is the temptation which is the very foundation of all sin. It is the temptation which destroys nations, pulls souls to their perdition and attempts to undermine Heaven's intervention here. I speak of the temptation to compromise the truth."

"Remember, Satan is the father of lies. He makes evil look good, and good to appear evil. He inflates egos as a way of promoting his own agenda. He fosters the need for control, power and money in hearts by distorting the truth. Once truth is compromised, the soul is vulnerable to any temptation."

"Take, for instance, the sin of abortion. Satan convinced the general public that life does not begin at conception. Once this truth was challenged, the groundwork for abortion was laid."

"Let us look now at this particular Mission. It has changed many lives and has the potential to change a multitude more. So, of course, Satan challenged the truth of the Messages and the Mission itself. There is nothing confusing about the Mission or the Messages, but the enemy of all souls has made it seem so by compromising the truth."

"The truth is compromised in every heart that willingly makes choices outside of Holy Love. The truth is compromised when the soul does not trust. In lack of trust in Jesus, he is trusting only in human effort, not Divine Providence."

"So you can see the great weapon Satan has when he tempts a soul to compromise the truth. This is the cause of the loss of salvation."

Public

(Temptation)


St. Peter says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"Once again I come to speak to you about temptation. It is always the pride of self-love that opens the soul to the compromise of truth. While no one should judge another's motives, it is good to understand why any soul would embrace untruth. It is in this way temptations can be avoided."

"The heart opens itself to Satan's lies through the love of some sin, such as greed, lust, love of reputation or power. Once the truth is compromised, the sin seems reasonable and is embraced. Therefore, each heart needs to recognize where his affections lie and what ports of entry Satan uses to pull him into sin."

"If a soul is unable to see the ways that Satan attacks him, he is weak and vulnerable to evil suggestions. The more the soul recognizes this, the stronger he becomes spiritually. To know your spiritual weaknesses is to increase your spiritual strength."

"Every soul should pray to be shown this knowledge daily."

"Say this prayer:"

     "Dear Jesus, show me the ways Satan is attacking me in this present moment. Be my armor, and strengthen me against his attacks. Amen."

The following prayer given by Jesus on July 13, 2007 should be said with the above prayer:

     "Your words, Lord, are Light and Truth. Your Provision, Your Mercy and Your Love come to me clothed in truth. Help me always to live in Your Truth. Assist me in recognizing Satan's deceit in my own thoughts and in the thoughts, words and actions of others. Do not let humility elude me, as I know humility is truth itself.

"I bless you all"

Dear Friends,

 The Cleansing of a Leper

When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. And then a leper approached, did him homage, and said, Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean. He stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, I will do it. Be made clean. His leprosy was cleansed immediately. Then Jesus said to him, See that you tell no one, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.(Matthew 8:1:4)


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

When I was on earth and after I began My public life, many sick people came to Me to ask for a healing. Many were suffering very much especially those who had the sickness called leprosy. This disease attacks the nervous system and causes great pain throughout the body. I had great pity for those who suffered this horrible sickness and it was My joy to heal them completely.

There is such a thing as spiritual leprosy, which is a sickness of the soul. Those who sin grievously bring about this spiritual leprosy upon themselves. Their soul is in darkness and is dying and they cannot do anything for themselves. There is a great heaviness, which they feel all the time.

This is why I instituted the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession so that people such as these could have their sins forgiven and be healed of their spiritual leprosy. They will feel very light and their hearts will be filled with joy.

My brothers and sisters, do not forget that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is the sacrament of the Mercy of God. You should never be afraid to receive this sacrament and you should go to receive it at least once a month. All I need from you is that you be truly sorry for all your sins and you promise with My grace never to sin again. I bless you all.

Dear Friends,

Jesus said, Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not

Here below is the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,

My dear brothers and sisters, I have given My whole life for you in sacrifice because I love you. I have won for you the forgiveness of your sins and all the graces you need to follow Me. I am ready to give you all the gifts that you need if you open your heart to Me. If you say â “yes” to My call and invite Me to come into your heart, then you will become My beloved and a very special relationship will begin between us. I will guide you every day so you may grow in holiness in the power of the Holy Spirit.

However, if you say “no” to My call you will not be able to receive what I have for you. You will remain in your sins and live in darkness. You will not succeed in your life; in fact you will be a failure. There are so many everywhere today who have rejected Me and they are to be pitied.

There is no joy in their hearts; they are often depressed and so many do not wish to live anymore. How many today commit suicide because they cannot cope with life on their own. There is still time for them to turn around and to believe in Me and say yesto My call. Today is the day for you who are far from Me to accept Me as your Savior and to begin this New Life I am offering you. Give Me your “yes” now.

Father Melvin

 MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD, THANK YOU FOR HONORING HIM, KEEPING IT HOLY.

THE TIMES ARE HARD SPIRITUALLY. THE CONFUSION OF THE WORLD AND CONFUSION WITHIN THE CHURCH HAVE CAUSED MANY, MANY TO DEFECT FROM THE TRUTHS AND BECOME INDIFFERENT. THIS INDIFFERENCE WILL BRING MANY INTO A DEEP SORROW, BUT OTHERS WILL REFUSE TO RELINQUISH THEIR PRIDE AND WILL THEREFORE BE SEPARATED FROM THE FAITHFUL. LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN REPLACED BY LOVE OF SELF. HOW SAD FOR THESE SOULS WHO EMBRACE THEIR PRIDE AND FORFEIT THEIR INHERITANCE. BE CAUTIOUS AND DO NOT LET DOWN YOUR GUARD AS THOSE WHO PROMOTE TEACHINGS CONTRARY TO THE TRUTH ENGAGE SOULS IN DECEIT.

MY CHILDREN, STAY CLOSE TO JESUS IN THE MOST HOLY EUCHARIST. RECALL THAT YOU ARE SENTINELS STANDING TO PROTECT JESUS IN THIS SACRAMENT AGAINST ALL EVIL ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY THE VALIDITY OF HIS TRUE PRESENCE.

YOU ARE THE HOLDERS OF THE TRUTH - SENTINELS IN WATCH. BE PREPARED MY LOVES TO UPHOLD JESUS, NO MATTER THE COST.

WITH SIMPLICITY I GIVE TO EACH OF YOU MY MATERNAL BLESSING. IT SHALL BE SWEET AND SETTLE IN YOUR HEARTS. THE BLESSING OF CHRIST COMES TO YOU IN A MOST LOVING WAY FROM MY BELOVED PRIEST-SONS. ALL IS DONE FOR YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

LET YOUR HEARTS REJOICE IN GOD'S LOVE AND MAY YOUR SOULS EMBRACE ALL THAT IS YOURS THROUGH GOD?S GRACE.

PRAISE AND THANK THE ALMIGHTY GOD. HE HAS BLESSED YOU BEYOND ALL COMPREHENSION

2010 - The Start of Fatima Chastisements - From a Filipino visionary

Marian Visionary Warns 2010 Start of Fatima Chastisement


Contributed by Rick Obrien on Thursday, February 04, 2010 10:13:40 AM


More stories from this contributor

 

A visionary from the Philippines, Duke Puntalangit,  warns that the Fatima chastisements will begin this year 2010.  According to the visionary, the Middle East crisis will eventually result into an all out war in that region, afterwhich,  a revolution originating from Russia, will engulf Europe. 

This series of events will cause chaos and bloodshed in all major cities in Europe, the global economy will plunge deeper, consequently giving the window of opportunity for Russia and China to execute militarily against Europe and the US. 

Puntalangit warns that mankind has entered a point of no return and that the chastisements are now non-conditional.  He however emphasis that the Virgin Mary's prophesied victory will definitely happen but will be realized only after the annihilation of several nations and the election of a new pope  who will accomplished the request of the Virgin Mary for the consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart.

The visionary gives the following which he said are the immediate signs prior to an unexpected revolution in Europe which will usher in World War III:

1. A papal visit to Russia.

2. The signing of an agreement, military in nature, between US and Russia.

The above events, Puntalangit states, are the immediate signs of the looming human catastrophe.  In addition to the above, Mr. Puntalangit advices everyone to focus on current events directly associated with the Catholic Church, the Middle East, and US-Russia arms negotiations, as awareness of these may help the faithful to become vigilant and prayerful. 

The visionary further warned that only one-third of mankind will survive the war and out of this one-third only one-fourth will survive the three days of darkness which will occur a few years after the World War.  Hence, he claims, we can expect only five hundred million will be alive to witness the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

January 29, 2010 Public

St. Thomas Aquinas says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"I have come to help the world to see that just as there are Chambers of the United Hearts and seasons in the world, there are also seasons in the soul - seasons which mark the soul's relationship to God."

"In the world, the seasons are measured by earth's relationship or proximity with the sun. In the spiritual life, the seasons are measured by the soul's relationship with God and how closely he follows the Divine Will."

"In the world, there are four named seasons. You have Spring when there is an awakening and a budding of new life. Then comes Summer when all is in full bloom and reaches its greatest potential. Then comes Fall when an abundant harvest is the reward for hard work. Finally you have Winter where this is not much life and all seems dormant."

"In the spiritual realm the soul starts out in the Winter season. His relationship with God is dead or nearly dead. There is no apparent closeness to the Divine Will - to God - or attempt in living in Holy Love."

"Next the soul comes into the Springtime of his spiritual journey. His spirit is awakened and comes alive. He forms a budding relationship with God, and is eager to overcome any error or weed on his path of holiness."

"After Spring comes Summer. The soul blooms and reaches its fullest potential. It influences its environment with the aroma of sanctity."

"Next the soul passes into the autumn of his life. If he has pursued personal holiness he bears an abundant harvest that will bear favor in this life and the next."

"Although this comparison may seem tedious at first, I invite the listener to realize that as there are many variants in the environmental seasons, there are also many influences in the spiritual journey."

"Holy Love in the heart is the way to stay your course. It fertilizes personal holiness making the soul healthy and warding off any disease of Satan."

"I love you, My little children."

St. Peter says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"I am Peter, and first in the succession of Popes. The Heavenly Father sends me to begin a series of messages on temptation."

"All sin is the direct result of disordered self-love - a condition every human is threatened by. When the sinner begins to love the sin more than he loves God and neighbor, he opens himself to the temptation. Herein lies the importance of every present moment; for it is in the present moment the sinner decides for or against Holy Love - for or against evil."

"To love God above all else means you love God more than any pleasure, more than any self-gain, more than reputation, money or power. In this, you must look into your own heart and learn to recognize the avenues of temptation Satan is using, and how he is tempting you. Now realizing the evil one's purpose, you have a solemn duty to avoid and to block these ports of entry into your heart. To do otherwise, you have an open heart to temptation and to sin."

February 4, 2010 Public

(Temptation)


St. Peter says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"I have come to help you understand the inner depths of each present moment. Each moment carries with it the gift of grace and the trap of temptation. Very often the soul cannot ferret out the difference. This is because Satan clothes his temptations in seeming good. At the very least, temptation fulfills some form of gratification. This is why the soul must learn to put his own needs and desires last; God and neighbor first. As he practices Holy Love, he will become more adept at recognizing temptations."

"The grace to overpower temptation is always present to each soul in every present moment. The more the soul is purified in the Flame of Holy Love, the wiser his choices in the present moment, for it is Holy Love that carries with it the seed of wisdom which cultivates holiness."

February 4, 2010 Thursday - Conversion of all Priests, Religious, Bishops and Cardinals that they are convicted in, and live in the truth


Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says: "I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."

"I have come tonight to ask each one to cooperate deeply with the Divine Will of My Father. When you accept the grace and the cross of the present moment, you are living in the Divine Will; then I can act positively through you, turning souls towards Heaven. Just as I changed the water into wine, I can transform hearts by your efforts to live in the Divine Will."

"Tonight I'm blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love."

February 5, 2010 Friday - For all those falsely accused within society, governments and within Church circles; that all calumnies are exposed by truth


Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says: "I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."

"My brothers and sisters, tonight I offer you My Heart, which beats in unison with the Heart of the Eternal Father. Oh, if only the heart of the world were united to Our United Hearts. You must free yourselves of all self-interest so that you can be My true missionaries in a world whose heart is set upon sin."

"Tonight I'm blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love."

sin on your souls. You do not need to spend

economic collapses.

connection between your spiritual state and
how it gets mirrored/spread in all directions

Feb 2 tue 7:30 am, after sorrowful mysteries


Yesterday while waiting for a business friend,
I had more than half an hour to wait so I
said a rosary. I'm asked to talk about that now.


I was told that when Jesus was 12 yrs old, he
already had the wisdom, maturity of a 30 year old man.
He could already start his ministry
but GOd the Father had appointed a later time.
Had he started to make his sacrifice then
he would be little understood. So Jesus stayed
hidden. He obeyed perfectly the will of the
Father to continue to grow his physical form
until adulthood. When he reached his
prime (30) he was then given the signal to
begin his public life.
Since he came to save men, He conformed
to our laws and thus at 30,
he was now considered an adult by men.
When he laid down his life at 33, it was
done in complete obedience and
out of a burning desire to save men's souls. He offered
himself at his ripe, mature, perfectly strong phase
of his life - and most men's.
Had he done so at 50 or 60, there would be
some who would say, well, he is already
past his prime so offering his life is not
really worth much, He has already lived out
the best part of it...


Today....
Jesus: I gave you a lesson yesterday so you
would understand better my crucifixion.
I was ready to offer myself at 12 yrs of age
but my Father had not yet approved the
time. I was already burning with desire to
save men's souls but obeyed and patiently
waited for the time of my Father's choosing.


Because I took on flesh understand
that I too understand the desires of the flesh.
I too understand the impatience that grips
you when you want to attain something now,
this moment, instead of patiently waiting for
the right time.


Hence, when you pray for something, whether a healing of body,
of a relationship, of a soul etc, remember that
I too subjected myself to that
long wait until my Father's appointed time.
Patience is a virtue, it is as your spiritual retreat leader
said, "Patience is the willingness to suffer. You shall be given
the grace to act more wisely and surrender to my
Father's perfect will."


Patience is the willingness to continue to
suffer until all is readied by the Father.
The Father knows what is best for you so
trust Him.

Joyful Mysteries

The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.Afr Saturday, February 06, 2010 "He is your great friend" Dear Friends, The True Family of Jesus While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him.

Someone told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you." But he said in reply to the one who told him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Matthew 12:46-50)

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words, "My dear brother, I bless you and I bless all My children living in every country in the world. I was chosen as the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God, who is the Savior of the world.

As a mother, I love Him wholeheartedly and I wanted to be with Him at all times. I knew He was chosen to establish His Kingdom and to found His Church and at the end He offered Himself in sacrifice on the cross for the salvation of all the people of the world. It was on the cross before He died that He chose Me to be your Mother. It was also at the cross that the sword pierced My heart because of the terrible suffering I underwent in seeing My dear Son dying in such horrible pain. At times when My Son Jesus was traveling in different parts of Israel I would go and meet Him. It was the great longing of My heart to see Him again. I also came to know the Apostles He had chosen who would be the leaders in His Church.

I would travel with Jesus' brothers whom you would call cousins, as they were the sons of Joseph's brothers. I call you, My sons and daughters, to renew your love for My Son Jesus. Read the Bible especially the Gospels where you have the very words of Jesus.

He came to teach you the truth and what you are to do to be His disciples. Obey Him in all things and you will be blessed. My mission is to bring each one of you to Him, that you believe in Him with all your heart and be men and women of prayer. He is always ready to listen to you if you come to Him with great faith and full of love.

He is your great friend." Father Melvin

The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.Afr Friday, February 05, 2010 "Through them I show you My love" Dear Friends, The Answer to Prayers Jesus said, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish?

If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.

his is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:7-12) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "If you believe in Me, My friends, you will ask Me for what you need in prayer. I always listen to every prayer and I answer them but not always in the same way you ask. Sometimes I will delay My answer to see if you have perseverance but when you do, then I will give you what you need if it is according to the Father's will. The Father is always ready to give you the graces you need if you open your heart to Him. Before you come to ask for what you need, it is good that you repent of all your sins and desire to follow the Ten Commandments given to you by the Father. The Father blesses you if you are humble and if you repent of all your sins. When I was on earth many people came to Me to ask for a healing.

I would place My hand on each one's head and simply say 'be healed' and the person was healed. I have given to some the gift of healing and I want you to go to these people and ask them for what you need. They will lay their hands on you and pray for whatever healing you need. I listen to such prayers and I grant to many an important healing.

You know that these have the gift of healing when people with whom they pray are healed. Respect such people and come to ask them for their prayers. Through these healers I am working all over the world to cure those in need. Through them I show you My love." Father Melvin

The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.Afr Thursday, February 04, 2010 "Strive for holiness every day" Dear Friends, Dependence on God Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds in the sky, they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow.

They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?'

All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will take care of itself.

Sufficient for a day is its own evil." (Matthew 6:25-34) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "My dear brothers and sisters, Our Heavenly Father created each one of you and He also created everything that exists in the world. You were created in His image and likeness with an immortal soul. You are the summit of His creation on earth. Everything in the world was created for you and you are to use it in a fitting way.

If the Father has created you, this means that He will take care of you. He will never abandon you and you are before Him at all times of the day or night. Why do you worry about all kinds of things? Put everything into His hands and He will take care of you. Your main occupation in this world is to worship the Father, to enter the Kingdom I established among you, be a member of My Church and follow the commandments of the Father.

I gave you one commandment: Love one another as I have loved you. You know that you cannot succeed without My help, My grace. Remain united with Me and do what I have told you and your life will be a great success in the world. The success that is important is the success that counts with the Father. Strive for holiness every day." Father Melvin

The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.Afr Wednesday, February 03, 2010

"I will fill you with My strength" Dear Friends, Teaching about Fasting Jesus said, "When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.

They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you." (Matthew 6:16-18) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus,

Our Friend, spoke to him in these words, "If you are My friends, you will practice discipline; you will discipline yourselves with regard to food and drink. The best way to control these appetites is by fasting. The Church used to ask all her members to fast during Lent but of course she would be happy if you took a day or two every week and fasted by cutting down especially on your food.

Fasting means just eating bread and drinking water three times a day. In fasting this way, you will become more spiritual and less materialistic. You will also have more control over your body. It is written in the Bible that I went to the desert and while I was there I did not eat nor drink anything for forty days.

It was after this fasting that the evil one came to tempt Me three times but he did not succeed to get Me to fall. I withstood every one of his temptations. If you are in the habit of fasting, you too will have the power to reject the temptations of the evil one. I will fill you with My strength so that you can resist everything that is wrong. Lent is very near so I call on you all who are between the years of 21 and 65 to fast two days a week during that period.

Offer this sacrifice with My sacrifice on the cross to the Father so that all may come to believe in Me and repent of all their sins. Through this exercise our friendship will grow and you will be filled with peace." Father Melvin

Message to Louise Feb.3, 2010 Message via L. V+J February 3, 2010- -10:25 A.M. FEAST OF ST. BLAISE!

L. began to receive words from our Blessed Mother and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other numerous prayers of testing) Then Mother Mary spoke, "Dear children, you do not realize all the catastrophes that could be lessened or completely done away with IF you'd love, honor and obey your Lord, God and Savior.

Prayer is your powerful weapon against satan and all evil. If you push God out of your life He will soon remove His Divine Mercy. His Mercy endures forever to those who love Him and daily seek to do His Will. His Love too is everlasting to those who love Him. Return to my Son Jesus and return to your Father God.

Praise Them! Thank Them! Give Them all your love- - -your fiat. God has given humanity extra time to repent and to return to Him yet, humankind seek only monetary, sinful pleasure- -pleasures of the body, wealth, prestige. Very few people are humble. End time signs are all around you yet you refuse to see them.

Open your eyes children. Change your lives, your desires, your thoughts. Repent! Time is extremely short before God ends His Hour of Mercy. Hear His loving call. Don't be one of those left out of the 'final roll call'! Return while there is yet life within you. Call to me, His mother, and I will assist you by leading you on the road - -narrow road- -to sanctity.

I love you my children and want to lose NO one of you. Your mother, mother of God- -Jesus, Mary."

Message to Carol Ameche Jan.31, 2010 External Locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, January 31, 2010 “My very dear ones, I am your Mother of Sorrows.

I come in great sorrow this day, My children, My beloved children, because of the state of the world. O My dear ones, please listen to the needs of others.

Please be aware that you are part of a group, that you are a weapon as one and must be of one mind, and one heart, and one action.

It is a coming out of your comfort zone to think of the needs of others, to pray as one, to think as one, to be aware outside yourself of what is going on; because the people who are coming to you will be so needy, you cannot imagine it. The people who will need will be so helpless you cannot imagine. Everything that occurs will be an act of thoughtfulness on your part; and when you practice your prayers now, listen as you pray, practice listening for others because they will break down. They will weep.

They will be sorrowful and so frightened for a long time; and so if you pray while listening, if you serve while suffering yourself, you will be raised to that new listening level that they will need.

I put these in very simple words, because it is so important for you to practice and to understand: helpless, frightened, hopeless, needy people, who can only be focused on themselves in their great need; and so you must not be focused on yourself and the way you would like to do things, but with that listening ear turned to Me.

I know you understand Me, My children; and you know I come to you as a Mother who teaches her children how to serve in an environment and a situation you have never faced before. These are serious words, My dear ones. Be aware of others. Be aware of what is going on around you at every moment, all the while still speaking your prayers to God, Our Father, to Jesus, My beloved Son, to My Spouse, the Spirit of God and to Me.

It is bringing you to a new level of preparedness to do this. You are all wounded healers, and so you realize that each of you needs patience; but this is beyond what you realize now, My dear ones, (not to make you scared or frightened, to back off or back out) but to rise to the occasion of need.

My children, we are very close to more events that will be occurring on a grand scale of destruction. My dear ones, again this is not to frighten you, but to alert you, to raise your awareness of what it will be like to be caring for helpless people. You can do this, My children. You have been trained. You are ready.

Now a new alertness is what is required, a thoughtfulness, a putting the needs of others first; and you practice that by LISTENING. I love you, My dear ones. I count on you, My army, My warriors, My precious ones. Thank you for listening now, children, and for making that decision in your hearts to be more, to be aware and wanting to serve by listening now.

We will do whatever is needed, whatever is necessary; and we will be victorious, My children. Count on that because it is God’s Will and because you are precious and obedient and beloved. Amen. Carol Ameche Note:

"I bless you all"

Dear Friends,

The Call of the First Disciples

As Jesus was walking by he Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him. He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him. (Matthew 4:18-22)

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

"One of the reasons I came into the world was to found My Church. That is why I called the twelve Apostles, as they were to establish the Church and to be Her leaders. Peter is the first one mentioned because I appointed him the leader of the twelve and the first head of the Church. Through My sacrifice on the cross, I brought salvation to the whole world. All are called to believe in Me and to be members of My Church. The Apostles began their work at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon them to give them the power and strength to do this great work.

Today I am calling all the people of the world to accept Me as their Savior and Lord and to become members of the Church I established upon Peter and the other Apostles. The Church I founded is the one where you find the successor of St. Peter who is the Pope of Rome. I desire unity among all Christians so that at the end there will be only one Church, the Church I founded, and all will believe all My teachings as preserved by My Church. I want all My followers to go to church every Sunday and to receive Me in the Holy Eucharist regularly. I am truly present in the host and in the chalice. I bless you all."

Father Melvin

"I love you"

Dear Friends,

Ministering to a Great Multitude

Jesus went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. His fame spread to all of Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and racked with pain, those who were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him. (Matthew 4:23-25)

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

"My dear friends, I came into the world because I love you. I was given your human nature so I could live among you and live an authentic human life. My mission was to offer Myself in sacrifice for your salvation and to open heaven for you.

I had great compassion on every person who suffered. If any sick person came to Me asking for healing, I would heal that person from its sickness no
