PRAYER HEALING US AND EFFECTS OF OUR ANCESTORS
Topic: HEALINGS AND PRAYERS

Ancestors’ sins caused much of our illness, sprits (familial and otherwise), and pain (predispositions to diabetes,heart problems, sickle cell), See, Lamentations 5:7 “Our fathers sinned and are no more, and WE BEAR THEIR PUNISHMENTS”. , Exodus 20:5””…for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation...”  

Ezekiel 18, first twenty verses (basis of healing family tree),

See NOTES for longer healing prayer of us and our ancestors called (intergenerational healing)

 

PRAYER HEALING US AND EFFECTS OF OUR ANCESTORS

 

(Intergenerational healing prayer)

 

   I place myself in the presence of Jesus Christ and submit to His Lordship. I Put on God’s armor so as to be able to resist the devil’s tactics” (Ephesians 6:10-11). I stand my ground, “with truth buckled around my waist, and integrity for a breastplate…” (Ephesians 6:14). I carry the “shield of faith” to “put out the burning arrows of the evil one…” (Ephesians 6:16).

   I accept “salvation from God to be my helmet and receive the word of God from the Sprit to use as a sword” (Ephesians 6:17).

   In the name of Jesus Christ crucified, died and risen, I bind all spirits of the air, the atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground, the underground, and the nether world. I also bind the influence of any lost or fallen soul who may be present, and all emissaries of the satanic headquarters or any coven of withes or warlocks, or satan worshippers who may be present in some preternatural way. I claim the blood of Jesus on the air and atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground, and their fruits, all around us, the underground, and nether world.

   In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid every adversary mention to communicate with or help one another in any way, or to communicate with me, or to do anything at all except what I command in Jesus’ name.

   In the name of Jesus Christ I forbid any lost spirits, covens, satanic groups, or emissaries or any of their associates, subjects, or superiors to harm or take revenge on me, or my family and my associates, or cause harm or damage to anything we have.

   In the name of Jesus Christ and by the merits of His Precious Blood, I break and dissolve every curse, hex, seal, spell, sorcery, bond, snare, trap, device, lie, stumbling block, obstacle, deception, diversion, or distraction, of body, soul, mind, or spirit, placed upon us, or on this place, or on any of the person, places and things mentioned, by any agent, or brought on us by our own mistakes of sins(Repeat three times).

   I now place the cross of Jesus Christ between myself and all generations in my family tree. I say in the name of Jesus Christ that there will be no direc5t communications between the generations. All communication will be filtered through the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

   Mayr the Immaculate, clothe me in the light, power, and energy of yur faith.

   Father, please assign the angels and saints to assist me. Thank you Lord Jesus, for being my wisdom, my Justice, my Sanctification, my redemption. I surrender to the ministry of Your Holy Spirit and receive Your truth concerning intergenerational healing.

   Glory be to the father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Amen.

"Pray, My loved ones"


Dear Friends,


Call to Holiness


Do not be yoked with those who are different, with unbelievers. For what partnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What accord has Christ with Beliar? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?


What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said: "I will live with them and move among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. Therefore, come forth from them and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch nothing unclean; then I will receive you and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, say the Lord Almighty." (2 Cor 6:14–18)


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


"I bless you, all My children. I am your Mother who loves you and prays for you always. All of you who believe in My Son Jesus and live by imitating Him are My dear sons and daughters.


Pray, My loved ones, that all may come to believe in Jesus and follow Him. Time is getting short so pray for a new awakening in the world that a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit may come upon all the people to dispatch the darkness of unbelief and to bring the light of faith into the world. So many people have no faith or very weak faith. If they do not have faith, how can they be saved?


I am appearing in various countries of the world to give you an urgent call. I do not want that Jesus, My Son, finds you, when He returns, in the camp of the other one. No, now is the time for the conversion of the peoples of the world. I want the salvation of every person living in the world. Join Me, My children, in working for this end. Give a good Christian example to all and pray and go to church every Sunday. I love you all."


Father Melvin

"I bless you"


Dear Friends,


The Lord’s Prayer


(Jesus said) “This is how you are to pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and do not subject us to the final test,
but deliver us from the evil one.
If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your
transgressions.” (Matthew 6:9–15)


Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, “My dear brothers and sisters, you know how important it is to pray. Every day you are to lift your heart and mind to God and spend time in prayer. In this way you will develop a strong relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.


The prayer I taught the Apostles was the Our Father, a prayer addressed to the Father where the one who prays glorifies the Father and desires that His Kingdom come among us and that the whole world would enter into the Kingdom of God.


Another important part of the prayer is to forgive all those who hurt you. I want you to forgive those people and if you do then I will forgive you all your sins. You need to go to the Sacrament of Confession or Reconciliation at least once a month so that you will be cleansed of all those sins and be filled with all the graces I will shower on you. I bless you.”


Father Melvin


Sharing by Dory Tan on July 3, 2010 in Marmora


On this First Saturday at the Tenth Station Dory shared this with us:


Dory began by thanking everyone for being here today. She said it makes Jesus and Our Blessed Mother very happy to see all of us gathered together in prayer.


Today Our Blessed Mother asked Dory to repeat again to the people these words. Our Blessed Mother said: "Whoever comes here to this Holy Place, whether they believe or not, whether they are Catholic or not, I am blessing them." Dory is asking everyone to accept this blessing.


When Our Blessed Mother appeared to Dory, She asked her to tell everyone to bring out their scapulars so She could renew them with a special blessing. Dory said Our Blessed Mother is telling every one of us that if we are not wearing this scapular from our hearts, then we should not wear them.


If we are wearing this scapular from our hearts, and we really believe that it is from Our Blessed Mother, She has promised us that through this scapular She will bring us to Heaven. Dory said that this scapular is not a charm to be worn for good luck. Instead, we need to put our hearts and faith in our scapulars and believe that Our Blessed Mother is circling us and guiding us to Her Son Jesus in Heaven.


Again today Our Blessed Mother told Dory to be ready at any time. She reminded Dory that when Her Son Jesus was here on Earth, the people always challenged Him. Our Blessed Mother said to Dory: "Do not worry, just continue the way you are. You are with Me and no one can touch you and take away your faith."


Dory said when we come here we should not look for a miracle. She used Fatima and Lourdes as an example. She said, look how many years people have been coming to these Holy Places. It is because of the strong faith of the people that they have continued to this day. Dory said we need to believe in the words that God has given to us: "I am here with My Mother in this Holy Place."


It will be eighteen years in August that Dory has been coming here to the Greensides farm in Marmora. Dory said that she thanks Jesus and Our Blessed Mother for giving her the grace to continue with what They have asked her to do. Dory said to all those who have been coming here for so many years to not get discouraged. One day you will see how this sacrifice that you have made has helped your families and your neighbour.


Dory ends by saying: God Bless us all.


Message to Eileen Renders July 22, 2010

Following Jesus!


Today I spent time alone with Jesus in prayer and contemplation and gave thanks for His many blessings and gifts. To Jesus and Mary I made small offerings. Also, I prayed for all with special needs and intentions. On my knees I asked Jesus to please remove all distraction of thoughts and vision for the next several minutes so that I might know that all vision and message comes from Him. Then I prayed, “Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens.


Jesus responded to my prayer saying; “My child Eileen, faithful servant who follows My lead. I guide all My children, yet it is they who must make the initiative to follow.


When My children follow Me, they can feel the joy of knowing that they are on the path that I have chosen for them. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your sisters and brothers. Amen.”

Message to Michael DiBitetto July 20, 2010


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


July 20, 2010. Tuesday evening 7:00 p.m. Tonight we prayed The Marian Prayers


Web site … trustprayergrp. org


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


“Our Lady Of Fatima”


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 coming from –the-wall- and is going around the room, and It’s going “through” everyone’s heart


Now once again I see Our Blessed Mother as …


"OUR LADY OF FATIMA"


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


DISASTERS CONTINUE, BUT MANY OF YOU MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED BECAUSE IT WASN’T IN YOUR HOME TOWN OR IN YOUR COUNTRY. BUT LOOK AT THE TYPHOON THAT HAS HIT CHINA … HOMES WASHED AWAY, HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE KILLED. MUDSLIDES THAT TOOK BODIES AWAY. EARTHQUAKES CONTINUE … AND ONE IN THE UNITED STATES … NOT FAR FROM THE CAPITAL WHERE YOUR PRESIDENT LIVES … IT WAS A FEW HUNDRED MILES AWAY AND IT WAS MILD … AND PEOPLE JUST LAUGH IT OFF.


BUT THEY DON’T REALIZE THAT THESE ARE WARNINGS … YOU SEE IF AN EARTHQUAKE THAT IS MILD CAN H IT… WHERE A PLACE THAT THEY HARDLY HAD ONE AND STARTING NOW … IS THAT NOT A WARNING?


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


I HAD SAID: THE TIMES ARE CHANGING AND THEY’RE CHANGING FOR THE WORSE … AND THEY’RE CHANGING FASTER DAY BY DAY … HOW MUCH MORE DO MY CHILDREN NEED TO SEE THE TRUTH? DO YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE A MAJOR DISASTER … A TERROR ATTACK ON THE UNITED STATES? DO PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS … MAYBE SO … AS MANY, MANY PEOPLE DO NOT BELIEVE IN MY SON JESUS CHRIST AS THE LORD AND SAVIOR AND AS THE CHRIST … THE MESSIAH, THE REDEEMER OF THE WORLD … THEY DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE THIS …


BUT WHEN MY SON JESUS CHRIST DOES RETURN AS I HAD SAID BEFORE: MANY, MANY PEOPLE WILL DIE FROM FEAR … JUST BY SEEING THAT HE IS THE MESSIAH … I HAVE SAID: BE PREPARED FOR THE RETURN OF MY SON … HAVE YOUR SOULS CLEANSED BY ATTENDING CONFESSION MORE OFTEN… ATTEND MASS, AND I’VE ALWAYS SAID AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK: BUT NOW I’M ASKING IF YOU CAN MAKE A LITTLE SACRIFICE … AND ATTEND AT LEAST TWO MASSES A WEEK. YOUR SUNDAY OR SATURDAY VIGIL … AND ANOTHER DAY DURING THE WEEK.


YOU MAY FEEL WELL IF OTHER PEOPLE DO IT … IT’S NOT NECESSARY … NO YOU ARE WRONG … YOU MUST MAKE A SACRIFICE … DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON … BUT WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF ATTENDING MASS.


I HAD SAID ALSO: BE PREPARED WITH CANNED FOODS AND BOTTLE WATER … ROTATE YOUR SUPPLY EVERY TWO WEEKS … WHEN THE TIME COMES THERE WILL BE REFUGES … AND YOU WILL BE LEAD WHERE TO GO … YOU WILL NEED JUST TO BRING … A BLANKET, SOME CLOTHING, A PILLOW IF YOU WISH … ALMOST LIKE A CAMPING TRIP … BUT NOT FOR DAYS AND DAYS … THE LITTLE THAT YOU BRING WILL BE MORE THAN YOU WOULD THINK …


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT THE XVI , PRAY FOR HIS INTENTIONS … PRAY FOR YOUR BISHOPS PRAY FOR YOUR PRIESTS AND DEACONS … PRAY THAT THE CHURCH STAYS UNITED AS ONE …


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


DO REMEMBER … MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST AND I ARE ALWAYS HERE TO HELP YOU, TO PROTECT YOU … AND YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE TRUST AND FAITH IN MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN …


PLEASE … CONTINUE TO PRAY … PRAY THAT PEOPLE CHANGE … PRAY THAT PEOPLE FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD OUR FATHER … PRAY FOR THE SOULS THAT ARE LOST IN PURGATORY … PRAY FOR THE SOULS THAT WILL BE GOING TO PURGATORY … PRAY THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH PRAYS AND MASSES SAID THAT THEY CAN ALWAYS GET TO HEAVEN … AND BE WITH MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.


PLEASE MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN ALWAYS LOOK … BOTH WAYS … YOU LOOK FOR THE GOOD … BUT YOU MUST BEWARE OF THE EVIL … REMEMBER SATAN WANTS YOU … BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU … WE WANT YOU MORE WITH US … SO IF YOU STAY IN PRAYER … SATAN CAN NEVER HARM YOU …


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


-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 They’re 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.


Message to Sharon Fitzpatrick July 21, 2010 PRAYER GROUP ROSARY . WEDNESDAYS 7:00 P.M. . SUNDAYS 3:00 P.M. OUR LADY OF LOURDES GROTTO (BEHIND HOSPITAL) PANA, IL MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN SHARON FITZPATRICK - LOCUTIONIST


WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 2010


MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


AS YOU CONTINUE IN PRAYER AND YOU SEE THE CONDITION OF THE WORLD, YOU PONDER WHAT I HAVE TOLD YOU AND TRY HARD TO TRUST THAT ALL IS NOT AS IT SEEMS. TRUST IS WHAT YOU MUST CARRY IN YOUR HEARTS AND SOULS. WHEN YOU THINK ALL IS LOST YOU WILL REALIZE THAT GOD DOES NOT WORK AS MAN WORKS, BUT BRINGS ABOUT HIS PLAN ONLY AS GOD CAN. TRY TO LET PEACE CONSOLE YOUR HEARTS. LET YOUR ANXIETIES FALL FROM YOU, THEN AS GOD’S HAND COMES DOWN YOUR EYES WILL SEE CLEARLY WHAT YOU HAVE YET TO UNDERSTAND.


IT IS WITH COMPASSION THAT I LOOK UPON YOU, THUS IT IS THAT I CONTINUALLY SEEK FOR YOU GOD’S MERCY. BECAUSE I PLEAD FOR YOU, YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE NO REASON TO FEAR. GOD IS GENEROUS TOWARD YOU. YOU HAVE MUCH GRACE THAT YOU CAN CLAIM FOR YOUR OWN. LITTLE IS PLACED BEFORE YOU THAT A REMEDY IS NOT ALSO AT HAND. BE PATIENT IN YOUR TRIALS AND GROW FROM THEM. EACH ONE GIVES YOU OPPORTUNITY TO DRAW CLOSER TO GOD AND TO SUBMIT TO HIS LOVE AND MERCY.


LITTLE CHILDREN, I GO TO EACH OF YOU AND PLACE ON YOUR HEARTS THE SIGN OF THE CROSS. THIS SIGNIFIES THAT YOU WERE CHOSEN BY GOD FOR ME. NOW I DO THIS IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


MY LITTLE PRIEST-SONS DO NOT FORGET YOU. THEY GIVE TO YOU THE BLESSING OF CHRIST. THIS, MY CHILDREN, SHOULD DRAW YOU INTO DEEP PRAISE AND THANKS, PRAISING AND THANKING GOD NOW AND FOREVER.

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of all, I consecrate myself to You, O' Eternal Father, as one of Your faithful remnant. Behold, I come to do Your Will. With the help of Your Grace, I will keep Your Commandments. I will love and reverence You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will love my neighbor as You love me.


I make this Consecration through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Your beloved Son, Jesus.


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE'S LETTERS Wednesday, June 16, 2010


"You are My disciples"


Dear Friends,


The Prayer of Jesus


(Jesus said in his prayer to the Father) "I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.


I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them. And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are." (John 17:6-11)


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


"Before My death on the cross, I spoke to My Father in heaven and prayed for the Apostles and all those who would succeed them. I knew the Father had given them to Me so I could teach them His word. They were very receptive and believed all that I taught them. I prayed for them that they would be united to the Father and to Me and have a close relationship with the Father and with Me.


My dear friends, the words you find in John's Gospel are also addressed to each one of you. You are My disciples given to Me by Our Heavenly Father and you are to believe all that is written in the Bible. You are not to pick and choose parts of My teachings and reject the rest. If you want to be My disciples you are to believe all that I have taught you.


I am really sad to know that many who believe in Me especially the Protestants, do not believe what is written in John's Gospel chapter 6. I want you all to truly believe that I am really present in the Eucharist, as I live today in heaven. I bless you all."


Father Melvin

The Lord's Supper


Dear Friends,


While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father." Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. (Matthew 26:26-30)


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


"Today you are celebrating the Feast of My Body and Blood, which is the great Sacrament of the Eucharist. It was on Holy Thursday that I celebrated and instituted the Eucharist with My Apostles in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. I took bread and wine and uttered the words of consecration and in so doing the bread and wine were changed into My very Body and Blood.


Then I gave My Body and Blood to the Apostles to eat and drink. At the end I gave them the gift of the priesthood so they could bring about the same mystery by changing the bread and wine into My Body and Blood. I was always a priest and the High Priest of the New Testament. The first men to be made priests were the Apostles when I told them "Do this in memory of Me." Only ordained priests by a successor of the Apostles can consecrate the bread and wine into My very Body and Blood.


In Chapter 6 of St. John's Gospel, you have My teaching about the Eucharist. I call on you all to believe that I am truly present under the species of bread and wine. I told the Apostles that My flesh was true food and My blood was true drink. Unless you eat My flesh and drink My Blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life.


I call you all to accept these words as absolute truth and never to doubt them. Pray for an increase of faith in the Eucharist and come to visit Me often in adoration. I am there for you and ask Me for the graces you need daily."


Father Melvin

"I love you"


Dear Friends,


The Prayer of Jesus


When Jesus had said this, he raised his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you, just as you gave him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to all you gave him. Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.


I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do. Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began. I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word." (John 17:1-6)


Below you will find the message given by Our Dear Mother Mary to Joseph Melvin. She spoke to him these words,


"My Son Jesus loved to pray to His Father in heaven. They had a very special relationship before the world began. When Jesus was young He loved to be with His Father and offer Him His love and praise. He came into the world so that all the people could come to know the truth about the Father and come to know Him too.


My role with you these days is this: I want you all to come to Me and pray the rosary every day and consecrate yourselves to Me. As the story of the Wedding Feast of Cana shows, I continuously bring your petitions to Jesus with My prayers. I also bring all those who do not know Him well to come and meet Him and to make their act of faith in Him.


I want you all to follow My Son Jesus for He is Your Savior and He has all the power to bring you to heaven with Him. Today many people have rejected Him and no longer pray or go to church. This is an abomination. Do not abandon the only Savior you have in the world.


I pray that all of you may have an increase of faith so that you may walk with Him every day. You know that if you are not with Jesus, My Son, then you are following the evil one to condemnation and death. Come back to Jesus before it is too late. I love you."


Father Melvin

"Open your hearts"


Dear Friends,


Jesus' Departure; Coming of the Advocate


Jesus said, "... I did not tell you this from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.


And when he comes he will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation: sin, because they do not believe in me; righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned." (John 16:4-11)


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


"When the time of My arrest and dying on the cross was approaching, I told the Apostles that I would soon leave them so that the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, would come upon them with great power to give them the strength they needed for their great mission. Their mission was to go all over the world to preach the Good News of the Kingdom and to found My Church.


The Holy Spirit would come to convict the world of sin. In time many would see how sinful they were that they did not believe in Me, their Lord and Savior. Without faith they remain in their sin and they cannot be saved. They will come to know that I am the righteous one who came on earth to do the will of the Father and now I am returning to the Father having accomplished what He asked of Me. The people would see that the ruler of this world, Satan, has been condemned and no one should follow him. You are all called in the power of the Holy Spirit to follow Me, your Redeemer.


I call you all to open your hearts to the Holy Spirit every day that He may come and abide in you always. Without the Holy Spirit you will not be able to do anything good. He will give you all you need to follow the right path and to avoid sin. Call on the Holy Spirit to come and live in your hearts forever and you will surely be My disciples."


Father Melvin

The World's Hatred


Dear Friends,


Jesus said, "If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. Remember the word I spoke to you, 'No slave is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.


If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me also hates my Father. If I had not done works among them that no one else ever did, they would not have sin; but as it is, they have seen and hated both me and my Father.


But in order that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, 'They hated me without cause.' When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning." (John 15:18-27)


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


"When I was on earth there was a running battle between Satan and I. He used the people of the world to show his hatred of Me. At the end I was arrested, beaten, crowned with thorns and finally crucified on the cross where I died in great suffering. However, it was through this sacrifice of mine that I conquered Satan, brought redemption to the peoples of the world and rose from the dead.


My dear friends, if you follow Me, the world will hate you too. You will have to suffer as I did but do not worry about the world; you too with My grace will conquer the world. Today Satan is pushing many things against My Church. The world hates My Church because She is for life and against the killing of the unborn children.


The world hates the Church because She is against homosexual acts because they are sinful. The world hates the Church because She calls the people to follow the Ten Commandments. The world hates Me and My Church because She opposes the world that has made money, sports and sex the gods of today. My Church proclaims Her faith in God and in Her Savior. My brothers and sisters, continue to follow Me and you will be blessed in heaven one day."


Father Melvin

"Come to visit Me every day"


Dear Friends,


The Commandment of Love


Jesus said, "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. 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 15:9-17)


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


"There are three theological virtues which all who believe in Me receive. These are faith, hope and love and the greatest of them is love. The Father created you out of love and His love will have no end. The Father loves Me and I am always in His love.


To remain in His love, you have to follow His commandments. When I was on earth I gave you this commandment: love one another as I have loved you. Look at Me, My friends, and see how I love you. I am the example for you to follow. I gave up My life for you all and this is the greatest act of love. I call you all My friends and I want you all to remain My friends every day.


Come to visit Me every day in prayer and by reading the Bible especially the Gospels. It is in spending time with Me that this love I have been speaking to you about will blossom in your heart. You will be able to forgive all those who hurt you and you will have a great love for all of them as you have for Me. Ask the Father through Me for all you need and you will receive it.


The Father is very generous with His gifts. Open your hearts then to accept all that the Father sends you. It is through love that you become perfect, so empty your heart of everything that is the opposite of love. Then you will be full of love."

"Come back now"


Dear Friends,


The Vine and the Branches


Jesus said, "I am the true vine and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches.


Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into the fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done to you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples." (John 15:1-8)


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


"You know that I want a very special relationship with each one of you. The example I used was that of the tree with its branches. I am the vine, the tree, and you are the branches. A branch cannot have life and produce fruit unless it is grafted in the tree or the vine. It is the same with each one of you. You cannot have eternal life or follow the commandments unless you are grafted in Me. My life must flow into you to give you the strength and the gifts you need.


It brings Me great sadness to know that many people in the world today are not grafted in Me. Many who were in Me in the past have now rejected Me and follow the other one. They live a life of sin and they are defacing My image in them. They do not pray or go to church and they no longer love Me.


They are falling into the pit and without My help they will not be able to get out of there. Pray, you who are My followers, for all these people that are living in darkness and not producing anything good. Just the fact that millions of unborn children are killed by abortion every year shows that the people are abandoning Me.


I warn you that this state of affairs will bring great disaster upon many countries and many people will suffer. However, it is not too late. Come back now and you will live."

"I am your Mother" Dear Friends,


Mary Visits Elizabeth


During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.


And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." (Luke 1:39-45)


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


"When the Angel Gabriel told me at the Annunciation that My cousin Elizabeth was with child, I did not delay to hurry to her side to help her. Wonderful things happened at My arrival at her home. When I greeted her, the child in her womb leaped with joy and she was full of the Holy Spirit and spoke in prophecy. She said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." These words show that I had been chosen by God to be the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God.


My dear children, it was at this visit that I said the 'Magnificat.' It is a canticle expressing My love for the Father who looked upon Me, His servant, and blessed Me in a very special way. I was chosen by Him to become the Mother of His Son, the Savior of the world. He has shown great mercy to all the people of the world through His Son who offered Himself in sacrifice to take away the sins of all the people.


I call you all, My children, to accept Jesus, My Son, as your Redeemer and Savior. Be humble and follow Him every day and open your heart to Him so that you may receive the graces you need to avoid sin and the help to walk with Him. He is your only Savior, so, come to Me and I will bring you to Him. I am your Mother who prays for you always."

"Believe, all of you, in the Blessed Trinity"


Dear Friends,


The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit


Jesus said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you.


I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him." (John 14:15-21)


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


"When I was on earth I often spoke about My Father and about the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father and I sent upon the Apostles after My Ascension into heaven. You know that there is only one God but in the one God there are three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.


This is a mystery for you but it is not a contradiction. It is to you who believe in Me that I revealed the inner life of God. This mystery was not known by the Jews, as it had not yet been revealed. Here are the attributes of the different Divine Persons: 1. The Father is known as the Creator of heaven and earth and all that is in them. He created the first human beings and He continues to create men and women and all should respect human life from conception to natural death. The Father also gives life to all beings at every moment. 2. I am the Son and I come from the Father from all eternity. I am known as the Savior of the world. I was sent by the Father to live as a human being on earth and to offer a supreme sacrifice to Him for your salvation. I am the one who rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.
I founded My Church upon the Apostles. 3. The Holy Spirit is the Sanctifier. He makes holy all those who are filled by His power. By His power, you can say 'no' to the evil one and follow Me, your Savior. You need the Holy Spirit in order to attain heaven. Believe, all of you, in the Blessed Trinity and We will live in you."

The Coming of Jesus' Hour


Dear Friends,


Now there were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, Sir, we would like to see Jesus. Philip went and told Andrew, then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.


Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.(John 12:20:26)


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


I often spoke about My hour when I was on earth. This meant My sacrifice on the cross which I would offer to the Father in heaven. I literally followed what I had taught the Apostles concerning the grain of wheat. Indeed if the grain of wheat does not die, it will not produce anything.


If it dies however, it will produce much fruit. I am this grain of wheat who gave His life on the cross to save the peoples of the world. If you look around you can see the fruit my death has produced. Without My death the Church would not have been founded and the people would not have come to believe in Me.


Every year more and more people accept Me as their Savior and become members of My Church. My great desire is that all the people living in the world would come to believe and be active members of My Church.


So I tell you, My brothers and sisters, do not be afraid to give your life for My cause. Be ready to work without counting the cost for that is what I did for you. Be My disciples to all the people, showing them your great faith in Me. Help the poor, the sick, the orphans and the elderly. Remember every person that suffers in your midst is Me. I have identified Myself with each one of them. So if you help one of these little ones, you are helping Me. Love one another but above all love those who are suffering. I bless you.

The Entry into Jerusalem


Dear Friends,


On the next day, when the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out:


Hosanna!


Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,


Even the King of Israel.


Jesus found an ass and sat upon it, as it is written: Fear no more, O Daughter Zion; see, your king comes, seated upon an ass’s colt. His disciples did not understand this at first, but when Jesus had been glorified they remembered that these things were written about him and that they had done this for him.


So the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from death continued to testify. This was also why the crowd went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign. So the Pharisees said to one another, You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him.(John 12: 12:19)


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


It is important for all of you to reflect on My solemn entry into Jerusalem. I was welcomed by a vast crowd of people who held palm branches in their hands as they sang a joyful song. I was received as a King and truly that is what I am. I am known as the King of the universe. I came as the Savior of the peoples of the world.


Let it be known that I brought you the truth that you need to know and follow in order to live with Me on earth in the community of the Church I founded. Believe, My brothers and sisters, all that I have given you and follow the commandments and you will be saved.


You cannot pick and choose what you like and reject the rest. This is the same as rejecting Me completely. Believe all I have given you and indeed you will be My friends. I am your King and I will return at the end of time to judge the living and the dead. If you followed what I told you, I will bring you to heaven. Open your heart to me today.

The Ascension of Jesus


Dear Friends,


When the Apostles had gathered together they asked him, Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom of Israel? He answered them, It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.


But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud took him from their sight.


While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.


Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. (Acts 1: 6:12)


Below you will find the message from Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, I appeared to the Apostles and others for forty days after My resurrection. This was necessary so that their faith in Me would be strong and they would believe without a doubt that I rose from the dead and that I am the Messiah, the Savior, promised by the Father soon after the sin of Adam and Eve.


When the forty days were over, I took them to the mount of Olivet and there before their eyes, I ascended into heaven. I rose toward the sky and a cloud took me out of their sight. I will return in the same way at the end of time to judge the living and the dead.


My Ascension showed that it was time for Me to disappear from sight and to return to heaven and sit at the right hand of the Father. I gave the Apostles the command to go throughout the world to preach the Gospel and to establish My Church. However, before that they had to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit.


In fact Pentecost came on the tenth day after My Ascension. I am now enthroned as your King and I work at all times in My Church through the power of the Holy Spirit. I call you all to follow Me.

The Washing of the Disciples' Feet


Wednesday, May 26, 2010


The Washing of the Disciples' Feet


Dear Friends,


So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, Jesus rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, Maser, are you going to wash my feet? Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.

 


Peter said to him, You will never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me. Simon Peter said to him, Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well. Jesus said to him, Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.


For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, Not all of you are clean.He said to them, If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.(John 13:3:11,14)

 


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


At the Last Supper before I instituted the Holy Eucharist, I decided to wash the feet of the Apostles. Peter objected that I wash his feet but when he understood he allowed Me to wash his feet.
I am the Lord and Master yet I love all the Apostles. It was a joy for Me to wash their feet and at the same time to teach them a lesson. The lesson I taught them is humility. I did not come into the world to be served but to serve and give My life for the redemption of many.
I desire that you all do the same thing and serve your brothers and sisters. Whether you are a Bishop, a priest or a layperson, you are to serve all those in need. Remember I identified Myself with every person who suffers. So if you serve the least of your brothers and sisters, you are serving Me. I want you all to be humble and to be ready to help all those in need. I bless you all.


Father Melvin


"I bless you all"


Dear Friends,


Last Supper Discourses


Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Fathers house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.


Thomas said to him, Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.(John 14:1:7)


You know that I am the way, the truth and the life. There is only one way that you are to follow, the way I showed you. I want you to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbour as yourself. Be an active member of My Church and be a person of prayer. I taught only the truth so believe what I have taught you and you will be in the truth. I am the life, for life everlasting comes from Me.


Remain with Me and you will be happy. I want you all with Me in heaven. Remember that in heaven your name is on the door of your place, for you are all awaited there. If you do not make it, it will not be My fault but yours. Cooperate every day with the graces I give you and never stop praying. Go to Holy Mass at least every Sunday and come to receive Me in Holy Communion and repent of your sins. I bless you all.

Peter's Denial Predicted

Peter's Denial Predicted


Dear Friends,


Simon Peter said to Jesus, Master, where are you going? Jesus answered him, Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow me later.Peter said to him, Master, why cant I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.Jesus answered, Will you lay down you life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.(John 13:36:38)


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


At the beginning of My public life, I chose twelve men as My Apostles. The first one among them was Simon Peter, whom I appointed as the head of My Church. Peter had many gifts and he was always the one who spoke in the name of the other Apostles. He was one with great faith he always wanted to follow Me wherever I went.


When I told the Apostles that I would be leaving them to return to the Father, it was Peter who wanted to follow and he even said that he would lay down his life for Me. However, after My arrest, he became afraid and he denied Me three times. I had predicted to him that he would do this, although He did not believe it at the time. After he had denied Me, he cried knowing that he had done wrong and so he repented.


It was after My resurrection that I asked Peter three times if he loved Me. Of course he said that he loved Me but when I asked him a third time, he knew that I was referring to the denials. It hurt him that I asked him so many times but by this method he was freed from these denials and he could go forward with Me.


My dear brothers and sisters, if you offend Me in any way, you are to repent and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the sin will be gone. I know you are weak and at times you fall but I want you to come back to Me and repent and I will accept you. Ask for the graces every day that you need to follow Me. I bless you.

"Learn from Me"


Dear Friends,


The New Commandment


When he had left, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once. My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, Where I go you cannot come, so now I say it to you. I give you a new commandment: love one another.


As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.(John 13:31:35)


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


Judas Iscariot was the one who betrayed Me, His Savior. However, through this betrayal I was able to offer Myself to the Father in sacrifice on the cross for the salvation of the people of the world. It was for this great sacrificial act that I came into the world to show you the Fathers love as well as My love for all of you.


Before I died I taught you about the great commandment that you all are to follow. I repeat it again to you, Love one another as I have loved you.From now on I am your example when it comes to love another. You know that while I was on the cross, I prayed saying, Father, forgive them as they do not know what they are doing. So forgive all those who have hurt you in any way. You are not to keep hatred in your heart for any person no matter what this person has done to you.


Forgive them with all your heart even though you do not feel like doing so. Make an act of the will that you will love that person because I have shown you the example.


Love also means that you will pray for those people you resent or you do not want to be with at any time. Pray that they will receive the graces they need to follow Me and that one day they will reach heaven. It is those who love and can forgive from the heart that will reach heaven. Learn from Me every day by reading the Bible. I love you all.

Message Thru Marie - June 7, 2010


June 7 Sunday 5:45 am joyful mysteries


Jesus our Lord:


SIMPLIFICATION!


WEALTH IMPLOSION!


ASSET PRICE COLLAPSES (esp. real estate)


DUALITY PEAKING --- climate, (hot/cold inversions)


--people (mind snapping - manic behavior)
--families mostly will divide further - deterioration except
those already mine - they will begin reunifying now...


My Chosen ones, prepare! My little children, my remnants few, you must rise up and fight now! The lines are drawn.


Those not consecrated to me, though many, will not overpower my weary, yet obedient children.


I call each one to take his place in My Circle of Light. This is my chosen few. There is no accident as you are all where I planned you to be. So take up your positions, arm yourselves: with humility and sacrifice, with love and prayers (rosary), with generosity. Make of your lives a living offering. Your crosses will get heavier, but unite it to My and My Mother's hearts in order that the perfect offering be made to the Father.


Because you suffer, the Father's justice has been lessened, and delayed. Little time is left to help my other lost children.


Every child of Mine needs to be fully aware, awakened as to the time of great changes.


You will need to light each other for the darkness will take over for a while. It is necessary for you to converge, to gather because the darkness now will drown my few who choose not to unite.


I have asked you not to allow the intruder (TV) in your home. But this can be difficult for the black idol (TV) draws all into its web. So few can resist its damaging magnetic pull. But I keep warning you out of love - (Many times my spiritual advisor Fr. F has asked me to remove the TV from my home - This was maybe 5 yrs ago but still I said no. Lately, I am beginning to see it for what it has become.)


Me: I do see how much we as a family begin to relate to it and this time is stolen from family bonding time. Not only do we have one in each bedroom, but we choose to watch different shows hence leaving us little time to connect to each other. Also, I've noticed level of violence and crime is very bizarre already and very few are the positive mentors that my kids and I can pick up from. Also I worry that my kids' TV idols will be copied, already their fashion is idolized somewhat by my kids.


But it's the behavior of their idols that are lacking proper values that I worry about more. Though I take great pains to teach them about my faith.


Jesus: It will soon be used to serve the great darkness(Antichrist?) to control the mind. It is not merely a form of leisure entertainment. It has stopped being so for some time now.


It is the great teacher of darkness. What child now does not listen to it? It takes the place of parents, authority figures, truly replacing generations of families where values used to be handed down by daily communication from parent, grandparent to the children. The wisdom of previous generations are now locked up in homes away from their children or else, they are made to lie to waste and their wisdom disregarded while the intruder continues to fill up your children's minds and hearts with garbage.


Take great care for soon it shall hypnotize you into a state of fear and paranoia. All is in place and many will fall , even some of my own who disregard this warning.


Me: Lord, you know I will ask that you protect my entire family, and circle of friends, prayer groups, consecrated souls, and grant us the strength and the wisdom to follow your requests/commands. Give us the strength to resist the TV for it occupies a big part of the lives of most families now including my own.


May your warning serve to enlighten others out there who are reading this message. May I not remain stubborn because even though I know it's harmful effects (I'd been thinking this already) sometimes I don't want to stop watching TV - though I have reduced time spent on it.

St Michael the Archangel message


to Ned Dougherthy 1 Jun 2010


June 1, 2010 at 6:00pm


"The Rock" Shrine of Our Lady of the Island, Eastport NY


Message from St. Michael the Archangel


Lo and Behold! You are now entering a very dangerous period of time on Earth. This is the period of time as prophesied in the ancient texts as well as in the prophecies of so many of you, who have been listening to the words of the Lord, and those of you who have responded to the call to assist the Lord and Saviour in these End Times.


These are dangerous times because the very fate of humanity rests with you, the sons and daughters of the Father in Heaven, for these are the times when you are all being called upon by your Lord and Saviour to assist in ushering in the transition that will take place globally to lift the hearts and minds of all the souls here on Earth to hear the calling of the Father in Heaven.


These are dangerous times because the evil one, my adversary, is raising his last attempts at destroying humanity, for he knows that his days are short to have his way with his evil influence here on Earth.


Many of you have been aware of the plans of the dark one to destroy humanity, and it is your prayers that have assisted the Most Holy Trinity in ushering in the new Era of Peace here on Earth. Have patience now and prepare yourselves for the events that are to come. You have been waiting for a long time now, but your wait is now getting shorter and shorter. It is time now for you to prepare earnestly for great changes that will take place across the face of the Earth, as the Earth groans and awakens into the Great Shaking that has been prophesied to you to usher in the Great Transformation during these End Times.


Prepare earnestly for the events that are to come by also preparing your family members and your friends, who are open to hearing the call of the Lord. It will be with great difficulty that you will be able to communicate with so many of your brothers and sisters, because so many of you, who are in allegiance with our good cause, are still blissfully unaware that a Great Transformation cannot take place without great changes that will significantly impact your lives in ways that you have never experienced before.


It is, therefore, necessary that you pray earnestly for great fortitude and strength to survive these End Times by praying earnestly to the Father in Heaven, His Son and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit whose power and influence brings the power of the Holy Trinity to all that there is in the Universe on a macro as well as a micro level.


For it is the power and influence of the Holy Spirit that brings the energy of the Love of the Holy Trinity to each and every one of you. It is this powerful energy of Love that is manifesting itself now globally throughout the planet Earth to usher in the New Era. Many of you have been feeling the power of the Holy Spirit in this regard, and you are vigilantly aware that time is shortening and that there is a quickening in the events that are happening that is leading all of you to the Great Transformation that will take place.


So prepare for these events that are to come. The way to prepare for each and every one of you is to listen to the soft voice of the Holy Spirit through prayer and meditation, for in this manner you will be able to understand what it is that the Holy Trinity is expecting of each and every one of you in these times.


Many of you are already receiving very specific instructions in what you are to do to prepare for these times, and for some of you, the messages and the calling are not yet that specific. But be patient, for through earnest prayer and meditation, the truth of what the Holy Trinity is expecting of you will prevail.


Be aware that the dark and evil one will use this time to attempt to deceive and trick each and every one of you, so this is also a time that calls for great discernment, discernment, discernment, for the dark one will even come to you disguising himself as being from the good forces of the Heavenly Realms. This problem is magnified by the reality that many of you here on Earth have been tricked and deceived into doing the work of the evil one.


Many of you have even turned to the darkness to give you power and wealth, but Lo and Behold, this power and wealth will disappear in the blink of an eye, for only the power of the Most Holy Trinity through the active participation of the Holy Spirit will become the final, lasting, and driving force that will bring humanity to the fulfillment of the plan of the Father in Heaven for all of his sons and daughters. Thanks be to God!


So again I must ask you to prepare yourselves more earnestly for the time is getting ever and ever shorter before the Great Transformation will occur in a way that all of humanity will have to recognize that it is the power of the Most Holy Trinity that is in charge. For this is the plan of the Father, the Original Order of Creation, for humanity has been usurped and trifled with by the dark forces, but all of humanity will experience a return to the Order of Creation as originally planned by the Father.


During this time, the evil in the world will be eliminated and the dark one and his minions will be driven into the pits of perdition. This, then, will be a glorious time for all of humanity as planned by the Father in Heaven.

 


Take the time now to prepare. Turn yourself inward and draw upon the Love that each and every one of you has for your Creator. When you do so, you will experience the powerful Love of the Holy Spirit, and you will experience a closer connection with the Most Holy Trinity. I ask you to do this now for the time is short.

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


Jesus says : "Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, if hearts would open to continue My Medjugorje Novena For World Peace, unbound less graces sorely needed in this world would fall as raindrops covering the land. My Merciful Love would fill hearts of the Hardened that would enable a return to the Almighty Father pleading His forgiveness.


That you may understand how truly important this invitation to offer this sacrifice of My NFWP Pilgrimage, please consider the request as a plea of a parent who's children have run away, lost in the darken streets of a city, homeless and hungry, yet too prideful to call their parents.


These children could be lost forever, never to be heard or seen again. If this was your child how would you feel?......Open your hearts to Me your Jesus of Mercy. Answer My Plea and I will fill your hearts with My Love and a new and most powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Soothe My wounds from the loss of so many souls by saving these souls through your sacrifice. I love you My Children, Your Jesus of Mercy"

Thursday Adoration, June 10, 2020

 


A Grace From Jesus


Today I spent time alone with Jesus and Mary at Adoration. There I prayed for all with special needs and intentions, including my own. Also, I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and contemplated on writings of the church regarding the Bible and the word of Jesus.


Before leaving, I knelt and asked Jesus to remove all outward distractions of vision and sound that I might only see or hear that which comes from Him. Covering my face with both hands, I prayed Speak Lord if it be Your will, Your servant listens.


Shortly, I began to hear and feel the presence of Jesus, but I could see nothing as it was very dark. Jesus whispered to me as I felt His fingertips touching mine Come follow Me. I knew that Jesus was leading me up a huge Staircase, but still I was in darkness.


Again Jesus guided me saying; I AM with you and I will lead you into the Light!


Suddenly, tears began to fill my eyes because I felt the grace of God explaining to me how this is an answer to a question I have long asked of Jesus!


Always I wondered and many times asked Jesus in prayer the following question; What happens to us when we die? If our soul is in the state of grace, where do we go? Do we go to heaven, or lay sleeping until God awakens us?


This grace and His message told me that Jesus will meet those in the state of grace and will guide their soul into heaven, out of the darkness and into the Light!


This message struck me profoundly and I was struck with awe!

MY PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


WITH GREAT TENDERNESS DO I GREET YOU. YOU HAVE LISTENED TO THE NUDGINGS I PLANTED IN YOUR HEARTS AND SO IT IS THAT YOU FIND YOURSELVES IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART.


MY SWEET CHILDREN, YOU COME TO ME IN AWE AS YOU PONDER THE GIFT JESUS SO GENEROUSLY BESTOWED ON YOU. YOU HAVE REACHED FOR ANSWERS IN HOLY SCRIPTURE AND YOU WERE WISE TO DO SO. THERE IS SO MUCH TO CONSIDER AS YOU CONTINUE TO GROW IN WISDOM.


YOU HAVE A GREAT DEAL TO CONSIDER AS YOU FORGE ON IN THE HOLY WILL OF GOD. YOU HAVE TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE REMAINED IN UNITY. YOU WILL BE THE ONES THAT WILL GUIDE THEM AS I GUIDE YOU. THIS IS FOR THE WORLD AND FOR THE TIME WHEN THIS WORLD IS NO MORE AND YOU PASS QUICKLY INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH.


YOU WILL HELP THIS UNITY TO REMAIN EVER FOCUSED ON JESUS DESPITE EVERY DAY TRIALS AND SUFFERINGS. YOU MY CHILDREN HAVE ACCEPTED THIS ROLE AND NOW YOU HAVE ONLY TO KEEP THE TRUTH AND TO CONTINUE TO PERSEVERE.


JESUS' LIFE WAS FILLED WITH MUCH SUFFERING AND YOU HAVE BEEN ASKED TO JOIN YOUR SUFFERINGS TO HIS. YOU HAVE DONE SO AND YET IT IS STILL UPON YOU. JESUS SUFFERED EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND WAS EVEN TESTED SPIRITUALLY AS SATAN TEMPTED MY SON. YOU TOO SUFFER EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUAL TRIALS. IT IS NOT EASY TO FOLLOW JESUS, HE SUFFERED BEYOND WORDS AND YET HE REMAINED IN THE HOLY WILL OF THE FATHER.


BE PREPARED FOR WHAT MUST COME TO FULFILL ALL I HAVE TOLD YOU. YOU HAVE COME INTO UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU CAN BEAR ALL BY THE GRACE OF GOD. EVEN THE MOST VULNERABLE CAN OVERCOME ALL THING BY HIS GRACE. WHEN YOUR TIME HAS COME TO BE VISIBLY PRESENT IN YOUR SUFFERINGS, YOU WILL BE FILLED WITH ALL THE GRACE YOU NEED TO ENDURE IT.


YOU HAVE COME INTO MY HEART WHERE YOU SHARE THAT SPECIAL PLACE OF RESERVE. MY HEART SWELLS WITH LOVE FOR YOU AND YOU WONDER HOW THIS CAN BE. YOUR WEAKNESSES AND FLAWS ARE OVERCOME BY YOUR SURRENDER, YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE GOD THROUGH THIS MOTHER.


YOU HAVE BECOME PRECIOUS TO ME AND I AM WITH YOU EVERY MOMENT AND IN EVERY ENDEAVOR. DO NOT FEAR THE UNKNOWN. I WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU ARE MET WITH OBSTACLES YOU HAVE YET TO ENCOUNTER, I WILL STAND WITH YOU BEFORE GOD AND MAN. I SHALL BE YOUR PROTECTOR, THE HOLY SPIRIT YOUR COUNSEL.


DO NOT BE AFRAID BUT STAY IN THE TRUTH AND ALL WILL GO WELL. GOD?S WORK IS HIS WORK - MAN HAS DONE ENOUGH TO THWART IT. HE SHALL CONTINUE TO UNLEASH HIS POWER OVER ALL, ESPECIALLY OVER THE EVIL ONES WHO NOW SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF THE HOLY CHURCH AND OVER HOLY PEOPLE.


LET FEAR BE FAR FROM YOUR HEARTS, YOU HAVE ALL OF HEAVEN WATCHING OVER YOU. REMEMBER IN ALL ATTACKS TO RUN QUICKLY INTO MY IMMACULATE HEART. ALWAYS WILL YOU BE PROTECTED THERE.


BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, YOU ARE NOW BRIGHT WITH LIGHT AND IT CANNOT BE EXTINGUISHED BY ANY MAN. YOU MY CHILDREN ARE READY AND JESUS IS MAKING READY TO RECEIVE YOU.


AS YOU CONTINUE TO PRAY IN UNITY, BE AWARE OF ALL THAT COME TO THAT PLACE OF GRACE. NOT ALL WILL COME WITH LOVING HEARTS, BUT THEY SHALL LEAVE WITH ONE. THE OUTPOURING OF GRACE HAS NOW INCREASED FOR ALL THOSE WHO FIND THEMSELVES THERE. THE NEED FOR YOU TO REMAIN CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND TO CONVERSE WHEN YOU FEEL IT WISE IS MOST IMPORTANT. MUCH WILL CHANGE AND IT WILL CHANGE QUICKLY. BE FOR EACH OTHER. BE ALERT. BE WISE.


MY HEART HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU IN A MOST SPECIAL WAY. YOU WILL FEEL MY PRESENCE WITH YOU IN A MUCH GREATER MAGNITUDE. I WILL BRING YOUR HEART TO MINE AND LITTLE BY LITTLE YOUR HEARTS WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO HEARTS MUCH LIKE MY OWN. YOU WILL GROW IN YOUR LOVE FOR OTHERS. YOU WILL BE KIND TO THOSE WHO FIND YOU IN CONTEMPT.


JOY WILL FLOW OUT TO OTHERS AS YOU MINISTER TO THE HEARTS OF OTHERS. ALL THE TIME YOU SHALL DRAW THEM TO MY IMMACULATE HEART AND I WILL PLACE EACH ONE IN THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS. OH MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, HOW BLESSED YOU ARE TO HAVE BEEN BORN FOR THESE TIMES. YOU HAVE BEEN DESTINED FOR THESE DAYS BY GOD THE FATHER - AND YOUR TIME HAS ARRIVED.


WITH A GENTLE TOUCH DO I DRAW YOU DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE IMMACULATE HEART. BEYOND ALL ELSE HAVE YOU JOURNEYED. I HOLD YOU WITH SUCH LOVE AND WITH THE INSTRUCTION OF GOD I GIVE YOU MY BLESSING. I DO THIS FOR YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


JESUS GIVES YOU HIS BLESSING. HE TOUCHES YOUR HEARTS THIS DAY AS THEY HAVE COME OF AGE.


BE GRATEFUL LITTLE CHILDREN.


PRAISE GOD, ADORE HIM, EXALT HIM.


DO THIS LITTLE ONES WITH EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE - NOW AND FOREVER.

Begin with Prayer to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus


O Sacred Heart of Jesus, mercifully accept the prayer which I now make to You for help in the moment of my death, when at its approach all my senses shall fail me. When, therefore, O kind and merciful Jesus, my weary and downcast eyes can no longer look up to You, be mindful of the loving gaze which I now turn to You, and have mercy on me a sinner. When my parched lips can no longer kiss your most sacred wounds, remember that hour those kisses which I now imprint on You, and have mercy on me, a sinner.


When my cold hands can no longer embrace Your cross, forget not the affection with which I embrace it now, and have mercy upon me a sinner, When my swollen and lifeless tongue can no longer speak, remember that I called upon You now. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, to you I commend my soul.


O Sacred Heart of Jesus, filled with infinite love, broken by my ingratitude and pierced by my many sins and yet loving you still, accept this act of consecration that I make to You of all that I am and all that I have. Take every faculty of my soul and body, draw me day by day near and nearer to Your Most Sacred Heart, and there, as I can bear the lesson, teach me Your Blessed Way.


O Sacred Heart of Jesus , Incarnate Son of God, who for our salvation did vouchsafe to be born in a stable, to pass Your life in poverty, trials, and misery, and to die amid the sufferings of the cross, I entreat You, in the hour of my death to say to Your Divine Father, Father forgive Him; Say to my soul, This day you to shall be with Me in Paradise. My God, my God forsake me not in that hour. I thirst- truly, my God, my soul thirsts after You, who are the fountain of living waters.


My life passes like a shadow; yet a little while and all will be consummated. Wherefore, my adorable Savior from this moment, and for all eternity, into Your Hands I commend my spirit. Lord Jesus, receive my soul.


O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and Most kind and loving Mother of Perpetual Help, in memory of Your Seven Sorrows, intercede for us with Your Divine Son and beg Him, in honor of His Most Precious Blood and Sacred Passion and Death upon the Cross, to forgive our sins and grant us the grace of a holy and happy death. Amen (Say one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.)

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. I plead Your Most Precious Blood over the following words, please my Jesus do not allow anything that is not of you to be written, thank you Jesus Praise you Jesus. Your servant is listening


Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I want to thank you for coming to spend time with Me today at the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I thank all My children who took time out of their day today to offer me sacrifice and prayer in Honor of My Feast Day of My Sacred Heart.


The prayer that you were given today by one of My beloved sons in honor of My Feast Day is one that I Desire you to add to these teachings I am giving you. As it implores My Mercy, My Love. Is that not what I desire to always be for all of you My Children, Master and King of your Hearts Who is Total Holy Love, Mercy, Forgiveness for each one of you. Today I speak to you of My Holy Mothers Third Sorrow which began the moment she and my earthly father Joseph realized I was lost.
Her heart full of sorrow at the loss of her son, they start back to look for me. Finding me in the temple my mother was relieved, but finding me teaching amongst the elders and teachers in the temple, she questioned why I remained behind.


As a mother the fear of losing her child was heartbreaking and when I spoke to her that I stayed in order to begin the work of My Father, these words seemed difficult to comprehend yet she remained silent and I could see only love and relief in her eyes. My Holy Mother knew that I was closely united to My Father Almighty and had been taught since my early childhood but never imagined that I would be amongst the elders and teachers, teaching at such an early age.


Also she knew that at any time those looking to destroy me could surely find me. Bringing attention to myself through teaching in the temple was never in her mind. And now word would surely find its way to those who wanted my death, which would be another cross for My Holy Mother to bare.


Life is a precious gift from the Father but in this world, mothers are allowing their unborn to be killed, drugs are corrupting and killing the minds and bodies of many of the youth, families are torn apart because the morality and sacredness of family are no longer acceptable or important.


Loss of family, loss of the unborn, loss of the youth, loss of God because it is what the world is choosing. My death was offered for your Eternal Life. My Holy Mother offered her sorrow of losing her child to the Father not only when I stayed behind in the Temple but as they removed my lifeless body from the cross and placed me in My Holy Mothers Arms she chose to offer the loss of her only son for each of you my children. What are you choosing my children.


Your Jesus of Mercy


Open little one to St. Luke Ch 2 Vs. 47 - And all who were listening to him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 - And when they saw him, they were astonished, And his mother said to him, “Son, why hast thou done so to us?


Meditation for 9/19/2007 given August 9, 2007 @ 7:17 pm


Approved by Reverend Fr. Paul Maria Caporali


Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. Welcome My beloved little one, thank you for opening your heart to y Words. I speak to you of another of My Holy Mothers Sacred Wounds to Her Heart. It is now time for us to return from our journey, in response to the kings command to the people. This is how a count of people in a region was done.


It was at this time also that as my earthly father tok me to the Temple as prescribed in those times and I knew it was time for them to hear and learn from this child who stood before them of the teachings from the My Father, Abba Father King. My earthly father Joseph, busy because of preparing for our return home did not realize that I stayed behind to do the work of My Father.


In those days the journey was very difficult and because of the crowds traveling, my father was not aware that I was not with him and he thought that I was with my mother. It was when they came to the meeting lace of rest, that my parents realized I was not with either of them.
As with any parent they became fearful not knowing where I could be. Fearing the worst they returned hurriedly both alarmed, thinking once again of the words given by the angel in my fathers dream that I was in danger and that Herod desired my death, even though this was twelve years later they knew that there were those who continued to seek the child they called the Messiah.
My parents had traveled a days length before they had stopped which meant they had a days length ahead to return to the town where they had been. Think my beloved ones, how you would feel if this was your child lost, but not only lost but that someone wanted the death of your child and were on foot unable to get to your child quickly, not even knowing where your child was, this is only part of the wound in my mothers heart.
As My parents returned they went to the temple where My father had been with me. My parents on entering the temple could see me in the distance in the middle of the teachers, coming closer, they could hear words spoken, but the words that they were hearing were not one of a child, they again feared that now this would bring attention to this child speaking, teaching scholars.


My mother called to me but that did not stop my words for I was doing the work of My Father, As I continue to still do the work of My Father.


For you see my children you right now reading these words are like those teachers surrounding the lost child Jesus, the messiah. Words coming to each of you from the Messiah, who is giving you teachings as I gave teachings in the temple.


My Holy Mother asked me, why son, have you done this to us? My answer, but why were you looking for me, did you not know that I must be doing My Fathers work.My mother with her heart wounded remained silent for she understood that this was her son yes, but he was also the Messiah, the Saviour, this child was the son of the Almighty, and that this was to be done according the Fathers Holy Will. Jesus, was not just her child anymore, and his purpose was greater than she could ever imagine.


Would you my children, be so willing to give the life of your child for another, or knowing in your heart people were looking for your child to take him away from you! This is the life My Holy Mother had ahead of her, would you be so willing to give your fiat my children?


I love you each and give you a special grace to you and your children, your Jesus of Mercy, your Saviour, your Messiah Open my little one to Luke ch 2 vs. 51 & 52 - And he went down with them, and he came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words I her heart. 52- And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age, and grace with God and men.,

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. I plead your Most Precious Blood over the following words My Jesus, please take away all that is not of you do not allow me to hear anything that is not of you please my Jesus I only want to do your Holy Will, please my Jesus your servant is listening


Thank you My little one for opening your heart to My Words. In the first sorrow of My Holy Mother I spoke to you My little one that this was the beginning of the first of the Seven Sorrows of My Holy Mothers Sorrow which paved the beginning road of Calvary.


This fourth Sorrow of My Holy Mother, she is now walking on the road of Calvary alongside of Me. Looking into her eyes the sorrow upon her face is overwhelmingly more pain than I suffered at the hands of the shoulders whipping, scourging me.


If you my children were witnessing your child bleeding from the scourging, humiliated and scorned by almost all those around you, step by step a heavy wooden splintered cross on the back of your child who was barely able to drag this cross, falling over from the weight of this cross with dirt, rocks penetrating the wounds already bleeding, yet knowing you could do nothing to alleviate all this misery, but accept and watch silently through prayer and forgiveness all that they were doing to her son. Could you do this.


In the second sorrow of My Holy Mother, they had to flee immediately as the danger approached to kill their infant. They were now on a different road, one called Calvary and she could not take her son and flee, her eyes meeting mine we both knew this was the Fathers Holy Will coming to pass as was written in scripture - St. Mark Ch.11 Vs 33 - Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to death; and will deliver him to the Gentile; 34- and they will mock him, and spit upon him and scourge him, and put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.


Oh my children many times I have asked you could you surrender totally your will to the Holy Will of the Father as My Holy Mother surrendered and continues to surrender to His Holy Will.


You are being asked for prayer, for sacrifice to save the souls of my children. You see in this world of darkness, despair, cruelty, violence which seems unending, but I am giving you the answer, please respond to My Plea it is for yourselves, your children, my children. Your Jesus of Mercy


Meditation for September 20, 2007 given Thursday August 9, 2007 @8 pm Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto approved for release Sunday,August 12,2007


By Rev.Fr Paul M. Caporal, Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette


Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart. I desire that each of you at this moment look into your hearts remembering the many words I have given in these meditations. There were many given you, so many that it is difficult to remember them. But, My children, the words even though many all showed our love.


The love of Me your Jesus of Mercy for each one of you. The love of My Holy Mother for each one of you. The love of the Father Almighty and the Holy Spirit for each one of you. For God so Loved the World that He gave His Only Begotten Son so that all may have Life Eternal. Contemplate now a long dirt road with people standing all around this road just to see a man carrying a cross, condemned to death because of claiming to be the Son of God.


Earlier in My Words given you, I said that many of these people could not look at My Face because they would see this love and know they were crucifying the Son of God. They turned away instead in order to appease their minds for their actions.


How many close their minds and hearts when it comes to acknowledging there is a God and there is a soul that will live forever and there are consequences for all ones actions. But there was one who would not turn away from My Face, one who looked directly into My eyes and I into her eyes, My Holy Mother.


Her heart breaking as she looked upon her child, now a man convicted because of My Obedience to My Father, beaten, scourged and a crown of thorns piercing My Sacred Head, carrying a heavy wooden cross and barely able to drag this cross.


Looking into each others eyes, knowing that this had to be in order for all mankind to be given a choice for eternal life. Would you My children, could you My children stand by and watch if this was your child walking on the path of Calvary to be crucified? My children understand they may not be walking on the path of Calvary to be crucified, but are they walking with Me your Jesus of Mercy or on a path to the eternal abyss because of sin.


Yet My children, you can pray and offer sacrifice for all children knowing that I Am a Merciful God, and a loving God and I hear all parents pleas. I never turn away from any of My children, just as My Holy Mother never turned away from Me. I love you My children. I Am your Jesus Crucified. I Am your Jesus of Mercy..


Open My little one to Psalm 71 Vs 2. Give to the king thy judgment, O God, and to the Kings son thy justice; To judge thy people with justice, and the poor with Judgment 3- Let the mountains receive peace for the people; and the hills justice. 4 - He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor; and he shall humble the oppressor.

Three Days Of Darkness!


Today we attended our usual 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made an Act of Contrition and offered small gifts to Jesus and Mary. I prayed for all with special needs and intentions.


After receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus. Covering my face with both hands, I gave thanks to God for all His many graces. And I told Jesus of my great love for Him. Then I prayed; Speak Lord if it be Your will, Your servant listens.


Jesus responded to my heart saying: My child Eileen, I tell you truly, as the clock strike twelve, My people will not know if it is mid-day or midnight because darkness will be all around them. There will be crying and screaming, hysteria with attacks by demons!


My chosen however, will walk calmly and confidently in the darkness. They will administer to My people with love and evoking My love and mercy through prayer. Their faith will bring Light into the darkness. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.


Mother Teresa - Mother Theresa once said, ALWAYS REMEMBER this saying: "Jesus only brings you peace, fear and anxiety come from the devil." If you feel anxious just Trust in God's Mercy and pray and your peace will return. You will be assaulted on all sides with health, with dryness, but Jesus and Mary are at your side. And we here all have the greatest gift of all, Mary to intercede for us.


To lay all of our prayers at the feet of her son. We have Mary at our side. Just think about the magnificence of Having the Mother of God at your side, pleading God's mercy for you and those you love. She leads us to her Son and wants to hear us say: "Jesus, I trust in You., the whole message of Divine Mercy".


Meditations by Padre Pio - May Jesus be your guide, your support and your life, always and in everything (ASN,44).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen- The canvas must wait for maturity to grow


"There are certain conflicts and tensions which are natural to us as human beings, namely, the conflict between the flesh and the spirit. In the young it is not always clear which is dominant or will be the master during life. It takes a lot of struggle to give dominance to the higher part of our being.


For that reason, an artist refused to paint the portrait of a young man. The artist said that he saw two impulses in the youth neither of which yet showed dominion. He would delay the portrait until his character was formed."


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


After Communion, I heard the voice saying, My daughter, look into the abyss of My mercy and give praise and glory to this mercy of Mine. Do it in this way: Gather all sinners from the entire world and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. I want to give Myself to souls; I yearn for souls, My daughter. On the day of My feast, the Feast of Mercy, you will go through the whole world and bring fainting souls to the spring of my mercy. I shall heal and strengthen them. (206)


God, One in the Holy Trinity.I want to love You as no human soul has ever loved You before; and although I am utterly miserable and small, I have nevertheless cast the anchor of my trust deep down into the abyss of Your mercy, O my God and Creator! In spite of my great misery I fear nothing, but hope to sing You a hymn of glory for ever. Let no soul, even the most miserable, fall prey to doubt; for, as long as one is alive, each one can become a great saint, so great is the power of God's grace. It remains only for us not to oppose God's action. (283)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


JUNE 13 - ACCEPT DIVINE PEACE


Today Our Lady asks us to accept and live divine peace:


The attitude of the Christian toward the future should be one of hope in salvation. Those who think only of wars, evils and punishments are ill advised. If you dwell on evil, punishment, or wars, you are on the road to encountering them. Rather, your responsibility is to accept divine peace, to live it, and to spread it. (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana August 1984).


And in Colossians, Paul also issues a call to peace:


Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful (Col 3:14-15).


Reflection:


In the beginning of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin said: "Through prayer and fasting, you can avert wars and suspend the laws of nature." In a sermon on peace, Fr. Slavko Barbaric stated: "The Lord of Peace enables us to understand the profound importance of peace within our own hearts-for this is how it is spread throughout the world."


The more hearts that live peace, the sooner will it flourish on earth. "Let us therefore," he concludes, "be instruments of peace, for blessed are the peacemakers-they shall be called the children of God.'"


Application: In addition to your prayers for peace, strive to be a peacemaker wherever you are today.


Medjugorje Day By Day June 15 - DRAW EVER CLOSER TO THE FATHER


The Lord calls us friends, he makes us his friends, he entrusts himself to us, he entrusts to us his Body in the Eucharist, he entrusts to us his Church. Therefore, we must be true friends to him, we must have the same perception as he has, we must want what he wants and not what he does not want.


Jesus himself tells us: 'You are my friends if you do what I command you' (John 15:14).


I bow down before You, O Bread of Angels,
With deep faith, hope and love
And from the depths of my soul I worship You"
St. Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament


Mother Teresa - We have a right to be happy and peaceful. We have been created for this - we are born to be happy - and we can only find true happiness and peace when we are in love with God; there is joy in loving God, great happiness in loving Him.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Even if you had committed all the sins of the world, Jesus says to you; "Many sins have been forgiven you, because you have loved much" (CE,16).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen- The treasures of self-sacrifice


"The best influences in life are undeliberate, unconscious; when no one is watching, or when reaction to the good deed was never sought. Such is the long-range influence of a mother in a home; fulfilling of daily duties with love and a spirit of self-sacrifice leaves an imprint on the children that deepens with the years.


St. Francis has done much to influence painting, though he was not an artist. Great artists have influenced millions to love beauty, though their intention was never to be so remembered."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Oh, how ardently I desire that every soul would praise Your mercy. Happy is the soul that calls upon the mercy of the Lord. It will see that the Lord will defend it as His glory, as He said. And who would dare fight against God? All you souls, praise the Lord's mercy by trusting in His mercy all your life and especially at the hour of your death. And fear nothing, dear soul, whoever you are; the greater the sinner, the greater his right to Your mercy, O Lord. O incomprehensible goodness! God is the first to stoop to the sinner. O Jesus, I wish to glorify Your mercy on behalf of thousands of souls. I know very well, O my Jesus, that I am to keep telling souls about Your goodness, about Your incomprehensible mercy. (598)


Jesus, You know that I love suffering and want to drain the cup of suffering to the last drop; and yet, my nature experienced a slight shudder and fear. Quickly, however, my trust in the infinite mercy of God was awakened in all its force, and everything else had to give way before it, like a shadow retreating before the sun's rays. O Jesus, how great is Your goodness! Your infinite goodness, so well known to me, enables me to bravely look death itself in the eye. I know that nothing will happen to me without God's permission. I desire to glorify Your infinite mercy during my life, at the hour of death, in the resurrection, and throughout eternity. (697)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


JUNE 15 - DRAW EVER CLOSER TO THE FATHER


The Blessed Virgin wishes to draw us close to the Father: Dear children, today I ask you to open your hearts to God like spring flowers which yearn for the sun. I am your Mother and I wish you to draw ever closer to the Father, that he may grant abundant gifts to your hearts. ( Weekly Message January 31, 1985).


One of these gifts is the vision to see form the perspective of heaven as God does:


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 (Col 3:1-3).


Reflection:


The believer's real home, Paul says today, is with Christ in heaven. This gives us a different perspective on our lives here on earth. To "set your minds on things that are above," as Paul says today, means simply to look at life from God's perspective. Among other things, this is an antidote to materialism, for we gain a proper perspective of material goods when we take the Lord's view of them. From his viewpoint in eternity, how would he perceive money, prestige, or power?


What of family, friendships, or acts of sacrifice? The more we see the life around us as God does, the more we can live in harmony with him. As Our Lady has advised in several of her messages, we must not become too attached to what is only temporary.


Application:


In prayer today, spend several minutes thinking of the priorities in your life. Then switch to God's viewpoint, and examine the same priorities. Is there a match?


Medjugorje Day By Day June 14 - YOU WILL ENDURE EVERYTHING


Mother Teresa - We are all God's children so it is important to share His gifts. Do not worry about why problems exist in the world - just respond to people's needs.


Padre Pio - I approve of your work for gaining souls for Jesus. By all means receive Holy Communion for the Holy Father's intentions (Letters III, p 463).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen- Words are cheap when there is no conviction behind them


"Whenever we set out to give `good example,' we generally do not give it. The best example is given when we are off duty and are not acting `professionally,' such as the minister or rabbi or priest when he comes down from his pulpit, the womanizer after he has finished his discourse on the `necessity of recognizing the rights of women,' the politician when he has finished his television oration on `my profound interest in social justice and my love of the common good.'


When Peter told Our Lord that though others failed Him, he would never fail, the Savior retorted that within twenty-four hours Peter would deny that he even knew Him. What we say is less important in the way of influence than what we do."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Oh, how ardently I desire that every soul would praise Your mercy. Happy is the soul that calls upon the mercy of the Lord. It will see that the Lord will defend it as His glory, as He said. And who would dare fight against God? All you souls, praise the Lord's mercy by trusting in His mercy all your life and especially at the hour of your death. And fear nothing, dear soul, whoever you are; the greater the sinner, the greater his right to Your mercy, O Lord. O incomprehensible goodness! God is the first to stoop to the sinner. O Jesus, I wish to glorify Your mercy on behalf of thousands of souls. I know very well, O my Jesus, that I am to keep telling souls about Your goodness, about Your incomprehensible mercy. (598)

I desire to glorify Your infinite mercy during my life, at the hour of death, in the resurrection, and throughout eternity. (697)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


JUNE 14 - YOU WILL ENDURE EVERYTHING


In the second month of the apparitions, the visionaries have a vision of Christ. Our Lady says to them:


My angels, I send you my Son, Jesus, who was tortured for his faith, yet he endured everything. You also, my angels, will endure everything (First Years July 27, 1981).


Similarly, Paul encourages the Thessalonians in their trials:


Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith during all your persecutions and the afflictions that you are enduring. This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, and intended to make you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering (2 Thes 1:4-5).


Reflection: Every life includes trials and hardships. Theologians tell us it is the consequence of sin and evil in the world, which disrupts even nature affects the innocent as well as the guilty. Today, St. Paul teaches that God can draw good out of our hardships:


"For he is using your sufferings to prepare you for his kingdom." Our problems can help us look upward and forward, rather than inward. They can help to build strong character, and they imbue us with an extra measure of compassion for others who are struggle. Problems are unavoidable for people of faith living in a faithless world. Yet, linked to the sufferings of Christ, they have a redemptive value and meaning.


Application:


Today, offer any hardships or pain you experience for a special prayer intention.


Medjugorje Day By Day June 12 - ENTER INTO THE MASS


"The Lord calls us friends, he makes us his friends, he entrusts himself to us, he entrusts to us his Body in the Eucharist, he entrusts to us his Church. Therefore, we must be true friends to him, we must have the same perception as he has, we must want what he wants and not what he does not want. Jesus himself tells us: 'You are my friends if you do what I command you' (John 15:14).


Mother Teresa - Prayer in action is love, and love in action is service. Meditations by Padre Pio - Jesus, I love you very much; it is useless to repeat it to You, I love You. My Love, my Love. Only You! Praise be to You alone. (AD,38). Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The woes of confusion are legion


"One wonders if modern psychology has ever found a word which so adequately describes an unhappy and disturbed personality as the word legion. The word is found in the description of the mad man of the Gerasenes, who when asked by Our Lord to describe himself answered, 'My name is Legion: for we are many.' Notice the contradiction between my and we. He did not know what he really was, except that he was tossed about hither and thither by a crowd of wild and disordered impulses."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - I spent the whole day in thanksgiving, and gratitude kept flooding my soul. O my God, how good You are, how great is Your mercy! You visit me with so many graces, me who am a most wretched speck of dust. Prostrating myself at Your feet, O Lord, I confess with a sincere heart that I have done nothing to deserve even the least of Your graces. It is in Your infinite goodness that You give Yourself to me so generously. Therefore, the greater the graces which my heart receives, the deeper it plunges itself in humility. (1661)


O Jesus, eternal God, thank You for Your countless graces and blessings. Let every beat of my heart be a new hymn of thanksgiving to You, O God. Let every drop of my blood circulate for You, Lord. My soul is one hymn in adoration of Your mercy. I love You, God, for Yourself alone. (1794)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


JUNE 12 - ENTER INTO THE MASS


Today's message concerns prayer and the Eucharist:


Always have God's love within you, for without this love you cannot convert yourselves completely. Let the rosary be in your hands in memory of Jesus. Dear children, strive to enter more deeply into the Mass as you should (Locution Jelena & Mirijana JUNE 1, 1985).


And in John's gospel, Jesus speaks of the Eucharist as well:


Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever (Jn 6:56-58).


Reflection: Fr. Slavko Barbaric offered these reflections on the Eucharist in a sermon given in Medjugorje in May of 1989:


Our Lady once said, "Come to church a little early," which I would interpret to mean about twenty minutes early, to prepare for Mass by offering the rosary. Also, we should remain after Mass for at least ten minutes in order to give thanks. [The Mass] is somewhat like a beautiful banquet spread out before us; if we do not take the initiative to socialize and eat the carefully prepared food, then the event is meaningless.


In the same way, if we eat the food quickly and then hurry away without thanking our host, it would be considered rude behavior. Likewise, hurrying away from Mass is disrespectful to the Lord. We need to spend some time giving thanks and praying for our healing as well as the healing of others. The Mass will have a real effect on our lives.


Application: This Sunday, come to Mass early to prepare, and leave a bit later, in order to give thanks.


Message Thru Marie - June 3, 2010


June 3, Thursday 8 am luminous mysteries


Me: I am shown a flashback of the time I attended a Greek Orthodox mass in the States. (I am Roman Catholic but had a Greek Orthodox friend in school so I was curious to attend a mass of hers.)


I first thought how formal and much more solemn their mass was as they practically said the sign of the cross with the words 'in the name of the father...' three times after almost every response during the long mass - much longer than a catholic mass.


Also the icons of Saints I don't know were posted all over the walls on all sides of the church from top to bottom. Then also, the priest dressed very formally and most times had his back from the parishioners or stayed hidden behind the two sides where there were screens behind the altar.


Then I am shown the cross that I had been seeing for several months now. I know this cross to represent the Orthodox Church. Anyway it is reaching out its arm to the arm of another cross in the middle which I know to be the Catholic Church. I am given the sense that the time is near for this event to unfold.


Jesus: As I continue to enlighten my flock, many will wake up and see past titles. Many will realize they need to reach out to their brothers and sisters. Both to the east and to the west.


When my heart beats inside you, when my light lives inside you, when my love flows through you, when my spirit rests upon you,


Barriers will be undone.


Do you not see that love, My love, wishes, longs for the grand reunification of My children from ages past? My early church was one and Unified, Glorious, humble and pure, It will be so once again.


The reunification of peoples will now begin in earnest. yes, For I have shown you repeatedly (visions of circles and crosses in threes fused at the arms that I finally discussed with my prayer group) it is the time of the Great Gathering.


Gather in circles, where my light is, Gather in circles, where my peace rests, Gather in circles, where my truth is, Gather in circles, where my love is.


(Me: I've been seeing circles, spirals, some concentric, big and small ones sometimes their edges touching each other, beautiful designs but no words - circles and also crosses with fused arms, usually three)


Me: But Lord, I thought from some visionaries I know that we will get more divided especially after you said the last dogma gets declared. (Mary as mediatrix, redemptrix and advocate).


You told me our church in Rome will rock and the time of priests against priests will occur, etc. So how then can we be reunifying???


Jesus: Understand that the Rock I built is solid as I am its foundation (I got the sense our Lord did not simply refer to our Catholic Church but his one True Church that got divided in time). The Church of Rome is now infiltrated by the enemy.


They have spread their poison to many of my priest sons. This has weakened the Church of Rome which will undergo a severe trial soon.


Yet, I showed you three crosses - always without words because it is rich in meaning. (My vision of three crosses with the middle cross lit the brightest sometimes but always the arms are fused to each of the two other crosses never had messages attached to them hence I excluded them from my messages- I had just discerned one message in an earlier post I made - re: lit crosses being illuminated souls needing to light up the other duller crosses, people who need guidance etc but have received another meaning today)


The three crosses refer to the three churches : orthodox, Catholic and protestant. They were one once upon a time, but now are three, They will in these times of great darkness find each other and reach out to each other, to help their brethren in the east and the west. I will come and hasten their transformation so that my united Church can begin to rise from the ashes of the coming Shaking, the coming Purification, the coming transformation.


(I know but I don't know why that the cross in the middle is the Church of Rome - the brightest, and the two duller crosses are the Orthodox and the protestant churches. But I also know that the Orthodox Church is going to help out when the church of Rome suffers - again I am granted this discernment)


This shall also happen in groups, and circles. As I remove the scales from your eyes, you shall begin to see My Spirit in your brothers near (same faith as you) and far from you. You shall see past titles. For my love breaks barriers. And when My Spirit rests upon my children, the call for unity shall be jointly expressed (I see arms extending as hearts open and reach out to each other).


Many circles of faith are lighting up unbeknown to you. (as I said, I have seen repeated circles of light, small and big, concentric, some spiral, some small in size but just forming patterns). Many are gathering and others waiting patiently for each other to join, to be part of their or other's circles.


Reflect my Light for I am acting now with greater speed than before. The strength of each circle depends on the degree each of my children answer My call to reach out to each member and reflect My Light.


Note: At first I thought the Lord only meant we are to speak up and witness to our groups or 'circles' but have found out that we already wherever we are in life, are positioned exactly where God wants us, and we are to light up others, not just with kind words, and preaching and witnessing(if this is our gift) but more importantly to light up in Love, with acts of kindness and brotherhood. To feed, to clothe, to love, to give help they need, to offer kindness, a hug, a kind word etc. and to consecrate those in our circles to The Lord and Mama Mary.

Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto June 9 & 10, 2010


June 9, 2010 1:43pm Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto


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


Thank you My little one for opening your heart to My Words. (Jesus please only allow me to hear if this is from you if not please take this away. I love you my Jesus and I thank you please your servant is listening I plead Your Most Precious Blood over the following words)


My children in these times where so many have closed their hearts to prayer, where because peoples lives have become so busy with the things of the world, there is no time taken for prayer. Many have become complacent in their prayer lives and it becomes difficult to desire to pray.


It is more urgent now to open your hearts and bring prayer back into your daily lives. Prayer is dialog with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and with My Holy Mother whom I gave to you from the Cross to be your Holy Mother.


Prayer is also intercession My children, a plea from you to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In these times where so many souls are being lost to the err of sin, these souls can still return to Me your Jesus of Mercy, through your sacrifice, your prayers.


It is only through prayer that souls can be saved from eternal loss. This is why I come to plead with you My children, for your prayers not only for yourselves and your children but for all my children.


Today I begin giving My little one a series of teachings on My Holy Mothers Seven Sorrows and I invite each of you My children, who read My Words to contemplate daily on these teachings I will give. Why do I give these Words My children? It is My Way of bringing you to a closer walk with Me. It is a time that you and I can share daily My Love for you and your love for Me. Open your hearts My children, to Me your Jesus of Mercy.


It is up to each of you My children if you will accept My invitation to take this daily walk with Me your Jesus of Mercy. I thank you My children. I love you My children.


(2) On the first sorrow of My Holy Mother, Simeon spoke to My Holy Mother that a sword was to pierce her heart she did not understand the gravity of those words nor the immense sacrifice that was to be given. This infant, her child who lay in the hands of Simeon was the Salvation for all mankind, this sword that was to pierce her heart, and another sword which is written of in Holy Scripture the words of John Ch 19, vs. 34;


But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear and at once there came out blood and water; vs. 37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.It is one of many sorrows for My Holy Mother, but the first of the Seven Sorrows of My Holy Mothers Sorrow which paves th


e beginning road of calvary.


Is there any other that would offer total love, total sacrifice, total union with God the Father Almighty in order for the souls of mankind to be given the grace for eternal salvation?


I desire My little one to also repeat the Meditation I gave before on the Seven Sorrows of My Holy Mother for the Novena For World Peace Pilgrimage of 2007.


If you My children read, meditate on these messages I have given the world, opening your Hearts to My Holy Will many souls can be saved. I ask for sacrifice and prayer many times over and will continue to plead to you for the souls of My children. I do not want any soul to be lost forever to the epitome of darkness for all eternity, and your prayers and sacrifice can save souls.


On Tuesday July 31, 2007 at 12:44pm Jesus gave the following message


Approved for release, Tuesday July 31, 2007 at 3:55 p.m. by Rev.Fr. Melvin Doucette


Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. Thank you, My little one, for opening your heart to Me to receive the meditations for My Novena For World Peace Medjugorje Pilgrimage. Today is the feast day of My Beloved St. Ignatius of Loyola, who my beloved son with the Consecrated Hands spoke of this morning in Mass. Not only was he a great mystic but founded the Holy Priests of Jesus, the Jesuits. He wrote the great works on prayer and in these works he shows the importance of placing ones total self in having a dedicated prayer life, also how this dedicated prayer life will bring you and your spiritual life closer with Me, through me and for Me.


This day also on your Medjugorje Pilgrimage, is the beginning of the last seven days of your Holy Pilgrimage with Me. Because of this, I desire to give you a meditation each day on My Holy Mothers Seven Sorrows.


(pg.2) Meditation for September 17, 2007 NFWP


One of the greatest examples of a dedicated prayer life is My Holy Mother and her greatest prayer through each of her seven sorrows. One question you ask is how can My Holy Mothers Sorrow be a prayer? Think about this, My beloved one, what greater prayer is given than one given in total surrender?


Did not My Beloved Holy Mother surrender totally when she was told that a sword was to pierce her heart? She did not refuse to accept the Holy Will of My Father, even though knowing in her heart that what Simeon spoke was truth and that this child, her child, that was in Simeons arms would not only bring Glory to the Father but sorrow to her heart.


My Holy Mother did not question but remained silent accepting the Fathers Holy Will even through the sorrow she was feeling at Simeons words. It is one of seven sorrowful prayers My Holy Mother was offering. Yet she did not even know the total measure of prayer we was offering and would be offering.


And so began the first great prayer of My Holy Mothers Sorrow! Could you, My children, surrender your child completely to the Father Almighty without the knowledge of what the Father Almighty would request of you or your child?


Open, My little one to Luke Ch 2 vs. 25 - And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him. Vs 26 - And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the christ of the Lord. Vs 34 - And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; Vs 35 - And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.


Open, My beloved little one, to John Ch 4 Vs 23 - But the hour cometh,


and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in Spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. I plead Your Most Precious Blood over the following words My Jesus please do not let anything that is not of you be allowed, I love you Jesus your servant is listening praise you Jesus thank you Jesus


Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, thank you for opening your heart to My Words. My children tomorrow you celebrate the Feast of My Most Sacred Heart and I thank all who will remember to celebrate with Me in Prayer. Though this day is offered to My Sacred Heart I wish to honor My Holy Mother also in remembrance of all that Her wounded heart has suffered and in uniting Her Immaculate Heart with My Sacred Heart, One with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.


Today I speak to you of My Holy Mothers Second Sorrow as she must prepare in the darkness of night to flee as my earthly father Joseph is awakend and told he must take us and flee immediately as the danger approaches to kill their infant.


You are shown my child, as you began this writing, a large palm tree, stars bright lighting the sky, and an outline of a man leading a donkey with a woman and child in her arms atop the donkey. You feel peace, yet you do not realize the fear that surrounded the night as they proceed forth neither knowing what is ahead yet still protecting the child that is foremost in their hearts.


It was not only obedience to the Fathers direction, but Trust and Surrender to the Fathers Holy Will. What you saw as peace surrounding this image through the darkness of evil is what My Holy Mother and earthly father were given as they surrendered completely to the Father.


Through the surrendering of your will to My Father Almighty, you My children even in the darkness of todays world, can receive the Peace of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit through your prayers, your sacrifice.


As I spoke in yesterdays Teaching, I will continue to plead for prayer for sacrifice for My children souls in order to save souls from eternal abyss as My Holy Mother and Joseph fled in obedience to protect Me from the evil pursuing us to cause the death of their son.


(pg.2) Message June 10, 2010


St. Matthew Ch 3 vs. 18 - A voice was heard in Rama, weeping and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted, because they are no more. Realize My children, when my childrens’ souls die in mortal sin they ARE NO MORE able to have life eternal, their soul lost to the abyss is for ETERNITY! This my Holy Mother knew this night as we were led away from the evil attempts to kill your Jesus of Mercy.


St .Matthew Ch3 vs. 12- And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another way, 13- But when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise,, and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I tell thee. For Herod will seek the child to destroy him.14 So, he arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew into Egypt.

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations. Thank you My little one for opening your heart to listen to My Words.


On September 8, a day which My One True Holy and Apostolic Church of the Roman Catholic Faith, celebrates the Birthday of My Holy Mother. A day of Honor that should be a reminder to all, of Her Faith, Her Obedience and Her Unconditional Pure Love for God. How did you celebrate this day with My Holy Mother?


Did you spend some time in prayer with My Holy Mother? Did you invite My Holy Mother into your hearts today? Did you read and take to heart the message My Holy Mother gave My beloved Mirjana, just a few days ago, where My Holy Mother asks from each of you unconditional pure love for God,or did you even remember My Holy Mother on this day?


I would like each of you to look into your hearts and ask yourselves why is it so difficult to place God first in each of you lives. What is unconditional, pure love for God? As My Mother lay asleep on a bed made of palm tree leaves atop sand and my earthly father Joseph laying there next to us awakened by a voice in his dream to leave immediately the place we were at because men were coming to kill the infant Jesus, who lay between them. My Mother awakened startled by the abruptness in My fathers movements to get us all away from something neither understood.


Neither hesitated to question a dream, for they knew in their hearts that this child which was in My Holy Mothers arms was the Messiah, and their Faith, their Trust and their UNCONDITIONAL PURE LOVE FOR GOD was their direction, their guidance.


(pg. 2) Meditation for September 18, 2007 given August 5, 2007 @ 7:15 pm


They would not question because they knew their life was a total surrender to God the Father Almighty, and this child was their total love and life. How many days they would now travel, to a new land in order that they could find safety for their child, that a king was looking for to have killed.


And so began another heartbreak for my Holy Mother, not only was she leaving behind her parents, her land, she did not even consider for a moment not to go where her husband was leading, because he was told in a dream about the danger for their son.


She would do what was being asked of her because of her unconditional pure love for God! I love you My children. I love you unconditionally, as My Father loves each one unconditionally. Did He not give his only begotten son t die do that all may have life eternal! Did My Holy Mother not stand at the foot of the cross as they hung me to die for each one of you!Your Jesus of Mercy

My child, you have begun to witness changes in the atmosphere and these changes are soon to become more pronounced. Do you see My child that all things work in harmony with the divine plan for the divine purpose and I tell you that when mankind seeks to alter the divine plan the disruptions in the universe begin to collide and as I have spoken that the earth is responding according to the depth of mans sin. Mans lack of repentance and his vision of being his own god which is driven by the prince of darkness.


I say to My children, turn away from sin and the earth will continue to be bountiful, plentiful. Man was not created to be his own god and woe to those who know the truth and turn away from it. Woe to those who seek to place their judgments on My mercy and believe that lack of repentance will gain them eternal life in My kingdom.


I say My mercy is open to all who seek it, yet the soul and the heart must seek to change. The soul must desire to live in the truth. Now go forth for I am Jesus and be at peace for all will be done according to My will.


6/2/10 4:45 PM


My chosen sons, (no space) I come to you today with great favor to tell you to be My witnesses in a greater way today than ever before in the history of My Church. You are witnessing times that the persecutions upon you are closing in and testing your vocations.


Rise up My sons and do not falter to the wickedness that Satan has filtered into My Church. You hold the keys My sons to pray in a greater way for your sheep to invoke the protection of Saint Michael and to pray to My Mother for her intercession as she holds all My priests close to her Immaculate Heart.


Come to Me in the silence of your heart and bring to the altar the healing that is needed for I tell you that the great fountain of My mercy is pouring out greater today than ever before. You stand before the world as My representative, you sit in the confessional as My representative, and your hands are consecrated instruments to bring forth My Body and Blood to those who seek the Kingdom of Heaven.


Come to Me My sons and stand before the world and identify yourself to man as you were ordained to do. Now go forth for I am Jesus and be at peace for My mercy and justice will prevail. 6/6/10 2:00 PM


My child, I call My people to a time of renewal, to look inside their hearts and to allow the Holy Spirit to move your heart and soul in the direction of heaven. I say to My people, if you only understood the power and protection that come each time you make the sign of the cross and invoke the power of the Trinity.


Each time you say the Our Father you are speaking to your Father in heaven. I say to you My children, renew your love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unite yourself to heaven through the greatest prayer, the Mass. It is time to clean out your homes to simplify and make a place for you to go, close the door and pray in silence to your Heavenly Father in silence.


I tell you this, that the hour is steadfast, justice is coming and simplicity will come in order for My people to understand the fullness of My mercy. Now go forth and be at peace for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will prevail.


6/6/10 7:50 PM


My child, I desire to tell the world that the body and soul are nourished by receiving Me in My Most Holy Communion but the Holy Spirit is the eternal flame that ignites the soul to do My will for I am Jesus. I say to My children allow the Holy Spirit to ignite your soul to do My will for heaven is calling out to the world to rise up and seek heaven by living on earth as temples of the Divine Trinity for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.


6/7/10 1:05 PM


My child, I tell you this that everything has a time, place, and purpose. The mountains have great detail as do the valleys and hills. The oceans, rivers and streams flow with a divine current and all the plants and animals were all given to man for the divine purpose, divine plan.


Man is to take My creation; study it; learn from it; how it all comes back to the divine providence. I come to you today because the hearts of men have come to desire to alter what he has studied for mans greater glory and honor.


I say to My children do you desire your worldly elevations or heavens splendor? When you find yourself fighting the current it is time for you to realize that your will may not be complying with My will for you, for I am Jesus. Recognize this, that your judgments on others is only the means by which the soul seeks to find a place of control to avoid looking at its own weaknesses.


Judge no one My children and be instruments of My mercy. Look to the saints to assist you, for they will guide you closer to Me for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.


6/8/10 10:20 PM


My child, I gave you life so that you may live in the world but not of the world. The world is My gift to mankind and I tell My children that each time you obey My Commandments, when mankind lives in harmony with his Creator, the earth responds and My creation only emanates beauty from every corner of the earth.


I tell you this My children that it is when My Commandments are broken, when wars rise up and man kills man and My little ones are aborted in the womb and the innocence of My young children is stripped away that darkness overtakes My creation. Its beauty is no longer seen.


My children each time you do marvelous deeds on earth you are bringing forth gifts to the altar in heaven and the choir of angels sings out in praise at the glory and honor you are bringing forth to your Heavenly Father. Heaven calls upon you My children for at your judgment the deeds which you have done will only bring forth higher merit in heaven.


Come to Me and do not become discouraged for I am the God of mercy. I suffered the crowning of thorns on earth in order to save man from his sins; and each time a soul is saved it only adds to My crown in heaven. Be at peace My children for today is a new day, a new beginning for your hearts to be softened, your souls to awaken to the truth and your will to accept a greater understanding of My love and mercy for I am Jesus the King of mercy and it is My mercy and justice that will prevail.

My child, you have begun to witness changes in the atmosphere and these changes are soon to become more pronounced. Do you see My child that all things work in harmony with the divine plan for the divine purpose and I tell you that when mankind seeks to alter the divine plan the disruptions in the universe begin to collide and as I have spoken that the earth is responding according to the depth of mans sin. Mans lack of repentance and his vision of being his own god which is driven by the prince of darkness.


I say to My children, turn away from sin and the earth will continue to be bountiful, plentiful. Man was not created to be his own god and woe to those who know the truth and turn away from it. Woe to those who seek to place their judgments on My mercy and believe that lack of repentance will gain them eternal life in My kingdom.


I say My mercy is open to all who seek it, yet the soul and the heart must seek to change. The soul must desire to live in the truth. Now go forth for I am Jesus and be at peace for all will be done according to My will.


6/2/10 4:45 PM


My chosen sons, (no space) I come to you today with great favor to tell you to be My witnesses in a greater way today than ever before in the history of My Church. You are witnessing times that the persecutions upon you are closing in and testing your vocations.


Rise up My sons and do not falter to the wickedness that Satan has filtered into My Church. You hold the keys My sons to pray in a greater way for your sheep to invoke the protection of Saint Michael and to pray to My Mother for her intercession as she holds all My priests close to her Immaculate Heart.


Come to Me in the silence of your heart and bring to the altar the healing that is needed for I tell you that the great fountain of My mercy is pouring out greater today than ever before. You stand before the world as My representative, you sit in the confessional as My representative, and your hands are consecrated instruments to bring forth My Body and Blood to those who seek the Kingdom of Heaven.


Come to Me My sons and stand before the world and identify yourself to man as you were ordained to do. Now go forth for I am Jesus and be at peace for My mercy and justice will prevail. 6/6/10 2:00 PM

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


IT IS WITH DEEP LOVE THAT I GREET YOU. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FIDELITY AND I HOLD YOU CLOSE.


IT IS HARD TIMES FOR YOU AS YOU EXPERIENCE SO MANY SPIRITUAL CHALLENGES. REMEMBER THAT IT IS TO HELP YOU BECOME STRONGER IN THE FACE OF THOSE WHO CHALLENGE YOUR FAITH. EVEN YOUR FAMILIES DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU AND QUESTION WHAT IT IS YOU DO.


TO REMAIN FIRM IN YOUR CONVICTIONS IS NOT EASY FOR YOU AS YOU ARE TUGGED THIS WAY AND THAT. BUT YOU ARE RICH IN GRACE AND YOU HAVE GIVEN OVER TO JESUS YOUR LIVES. THIS IS NOT TAKEN LIGHTLY - IT IS YOUR DESTINY, IT WILL BE YOUR ETERNITY.


I TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A TIME OF STRUGGLE ALSO WITHIN THE CHURCH. THE PRIESTS ARE NOT AS BROTHERS AND SOME UNITE AS THEY BECOME LAX AND SEEK OTHERS WHO HAVE STRAYED FROM THE TRUTH. THOSE WHO UNITE WITHIN THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS, LIVE IN THE TRUTH AND FOR THE TRUTH. THEY INDEED ARE BROTHERS AND SHOULD STAND TOGETHER DEFENDING THE TRUTH EVEN UNTO DEATH. THIS IS A HARD AND DIFFICULT TIME FOR THESE PRIESTS AND SO IT IS YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN ACCESS TO THESE SONS OF MINE AND AS YOU NEED THEM, SO TOO DO THEY NEED YOU.


LOVE AND ENCOURAGE THEM AND REMAIN IN THEIR PRESENCE. ALTHOUGH YOU PRAY FOR ALL PRIESTS, IT IS GOOD TO DISTANCE YOURSELVES FROM THOSE WHO STAND CONTRARY TO THE TRUTH.


I TELL YOU THAT THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN YOU SHALL REJOICE IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND THUS BRING MY LITTLE PRIEST-SONS TO SO MANY SOULS, THIRSTING FOR ALL THEY HOLD IN THEIR HEARTS.


I GIVE NOW MY MATERNAL BLESSING - TAKING CARE TO TOUCH EACH ONE.


MY BELOVED PRIEST-SONS GIVE TO YOU THE BLESSING OF CHRIST. THEY GIVE IT WITH LOVE, RECEIVE IT WITH LOVE AND THEN PRAISE AND THANK GOD NOW AND FOREVER.


Message Thru Marie - May 28, 2010


May 28 Fri, Sorrowful mysteries


Me: I'm shown so many times this week crosses found in architectural details. For ex, the steel grills with crosses linked side by side and on top of each other in perfect rows, or the sliding wooden door in my house and my attention would be led to the crosses formed at the intersecting beams, or a shelf would be shown me but the focus would be on the crosses that make up the sides of the shelves, etc.etc. lastly, he's showing me his crucifixion scene and the two crosses on either side of him. The repentant sinner and the unrepentant sinner.


Jesus: Just as I reached out to all, both the repentant and the unrepentant thief, so too must you as my servant, do the same. Do not close yourselves to those that have hurt you in anyway, rather often I've taught you to pray for them and pray for their conversion. Be ever mindful of them, try to show the Love I give you, reflect that instead of anger, or resentment.


Ask for the grace to do this. Isn't this another kind of cross you can offer me? Often people overlook the mercy that I was pouring out, the opportunity I was giving to the unrepentant sinner. Do not only reflect my Light upon those whose lights inside are somewhat lit already.


Even if you never witness the conversion of that soul, even if they will remain in their unbelief, even if they wish to cling to their position, continue to keep your arms extended to them .


(My focus is being led to his outstretched arms in the crucifix hanging on my altar).


Extend your arms regardless.... Extend My Love regardless.... Extend My Peace regardless.... Extend My Mercy regardless.... Extend My Generosity regardless.... Extend My Trust regardless....


Reflect My Light so that others may see Me in You.


Me: I'm sorry Lord (he showed me that I was spreading his messages to those only I felt more open to receiving them.)


I'm told to get out of my comfort zone, don't judge, just be open, trust that the risk to rejection is nothing compared to the joy of a heart that turns back to the Lord. God wants us to open our arms, our hearts, to those in need. Because many, many are in need, thirsting for Him. Many shepherds (priests) are not able to guide their flock anymore, for the enemy has corrupted the church from within.


Many other visions given me yet I don't have the words yet for there are no words and they seem to be symbols, so I will pray for proper discernment prior to writing about these images until I get enough discernment on the visions...(patterns of circles, crosses and spirals and coming in various perspectives, from the top then on the side etc.)


Lord, give me a sign because I want to go on pilgrimage this sunday but there are many 'blocks' preventing me from going so please open the way if this is your will because I wish to go.

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

THEY SHALL EXPERIENCE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS VISIT WILL BE PROFOUND. THEY WHO WILL ACCEPT HIS HELP, SHALL CONTINUE IN THE TRUTH, BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE STIFF WITH PRIDE, HIS VISIT SHALL GO UNACKNOWLEDGED AND WHAT WAS OFFERED, UNACCEPTED. HOW WEARY I GROW AS OVER AND OVER ALL EFFORTS ARE MADE TO BRING ALL PRIESTS INTO THE TRUTH - THUS INTO HOLINESS. PRAY THAT MANY WILL BE OPEN TO THIS PENTECOST AND WELCOME AND EMBRACE THE HOLY SPIRIT.


DEAR CHILDREN, I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THE WORKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIVES. HE HAS VISITED YOU MANY TIMES, AND HE CONTINUES TO BE FOR YOU A SWEET AND GENEROUS COMPANION. BE OPEN TO ALL HE DESIRES FOR YOU AND YOU WILL FIND PEACE AND COMFORT DURING THIS MOST TRYING TIME.


IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I ONCE MORE SECURE FOR YOU PEACE WITH CONCERNS OF YOUR FAMILIES. REMEMBER ALL IS NOT ALWAYS AS IT SEEMS. THE HEART AND ITS INTENTIONS ARE KNOWN ONLY TO GOD. SO TRUST, TRUST, TRUST. ALL WILL BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE TO THE PROMISE OF GOD THE FATHER.


WITH A DEEP LOVE FOR EACH OF YOU - ALL OF YOU IN UNITY, I GIVE TODAY A SPECIAL BLESSING. I DRAW IT FOR YOU FROM THE HEART OF MY SON AND GIVE IT IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


MY LITTLE PRIEST-SONS DRAW FROM THEIR HEARTS THE BLESSING OF CHRIST - WITH TRUE LOVE DO THEY EXTEND IT TO ALL. BE AWARE OF THIS GREAT GIFT, PRAISING AND THANKING GOD NOW AND FOREVER.

2010 Heavenly Messages as given to Anna Marie, an Apostle of the Green Scapular

 


MESSAGE FROM JESUS OUR SAVIOR


WHY DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE PRACTICES OF IDOLATRY?


MAY 30, 2010 AT 4:36 PM


[During Mass in honor of the Most Holy Trinity, during Holy Communion, Anna Marie witnessed a vision on the Holy Altar. An old sailing ship like that of the late 1700s, with many sails extended by the wind, began turning around in a circle. Instead of the ships longest two points normally from bow to stern, it was from the port to starboard. The ship was not built correctly, from a distance, the ship looked as if it were built correctly but since the widest points were between the port to starboard, it could only turn in circles.]


Anna Marie: My Lord I hear you calling me. My Lord, are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?


Jesus: Dear one, it is I your Divine Savior Jesus of the Most Blessed Sacrament.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, may I ask please? Will you bow down and adore God your Eternal and Holy Father, Who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is seen and unseen?


Jesus: Yes my little one, I your Savior Jesus of Nazareth, will now and will always bow down and adore God my Holy Eternal and Merciful Father, who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, seen or unseen.


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


Jesus: Dear one, the vision that you did witness during Mass was that of a ship, sailing through troubled and disastrous times. Sailing with a full breeze upon the ocean, but traveling no where. Simply turning around and around. The wind was doing its best to push the ship through the waters, but the ship had been constructed incorrectly so it was fighting against the current. This is an example of how much children have all but lost their way to find me, their Savior, during this day and age. They appear to be traveling towards me, their intended destination, but due to incorrect rearing, a lack of training and teaching, they cannot move closer to me their Lord and Savior.


Jesus: My children, the foundation of your Catholic upbringing should have been built on a solid foundation of truth. But many have not listened, many have made the appearances of being constructed as a good Catholic should be, but are no closer to their eternal destination than most of today’s population.


If you take part in the world, accepting the vices of this world, accepting the practices of idolatry of today’s modern idols; then when you come to your judgment, at the end of your life, and expect eternity with me, your Savior, you may not be permitted into the eternal kingdom of God.


Jesus: Why is it, my children, you watch demonic movies, based on the supernatural evils of satan, and yet [you] have no morality to understand that you will stand in judgment for worshiping him, the enemy of God? Why do you read books that place your moral judgment in question, knowing that if you practice such evil doings, you would certainly not enter into the Kingdom of God.


Have you no discernment of spirits? Why do you fill your hearts, minds and especially your EYES full of the most disgusting evils and then go to church to receive My Holy Body and Blood? Do you not know you are in sin?


Do you not know that receiving My Body and Blood while in mortal sin will pour the wrath of my Heavenly Fathers justice upon you?


Jesus: You do not recognize your own sins, you condemn others and judge others but you do not see the grave sins, the mortal sins you yourself are committing. If you watch a movie which, in all its appearances, portrays witches or wizards, can you honestly say that this movie is good for your spiritual growth in the love of Jesus Christ?


If you look at pornography on the computer, can you reason with yourself that you have a mental defect so you must continue to feed the demons within you with more lustful images? Have you not read the Ten Commandments? Have you not understood what they meant? I am the Lord your God, and you will not have any other gods besides me. [Refer to Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1-26]


MAY 30, 2010 AT 4:36 PM (CONTINUED)


Jesus: My children, if you only knew the state of your immortal soul and how close many of you are from not entering into the Kingdom of Heaven, you would run to your churches and confess your sins and repent, repent and repent for the evils you continue to take part in. Soon, a great judgment will befall your country and some will not survive.


Are you ready to meet me, your Savior Jesus? Are you ready to account for your life, the many sins you have committed. Remember what the Scriptures state, And the Lord said, depart from me you wicked sinner, I do not know you.[Refer to St. Luke 13:27]


Jesus: Will it be you? Make a change in your life, stop your grave sinning, go to confession and repent for the evil you have done. I love you children. Your Loving Savior, Jesus of Nazareth. Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, we love you my Lord. Thank you and praise you for the warning Holy God!

Dream of Hyperinflation by Marie


Dear Bro Lec,


I had a dream that woke me up at 3am this am. I said my rosary soon after as I did not know what it meant and was unprepared for it.


In the dream, I was in a group meeting of some sort and there was a need for a project to proceed. I do not recall details anymore but it was urgent to get this project going so I was the first to donate money and I gave a P1,000 bill. (For foreign readers, currencies here are only printed in twenties, fifties, hundreds, five hundreds, and one thousand peso bills).So my donation was already generous by our standards.


Anyway, going back to the dream, the next people to give started to give bills that I did not recognize so I looked closer, and I saw new currency notes, in P10,000 and like one donated several bills in the new P10,000.00 currency. Then next, another one donated one P100,000 bill. so I was not shocked in the dream but just surprised that the currencies were new, with new designs and one even showed P100,000 commemorative 2010...


Also later, one gave I think a bill that showed P1,000,000. I woke up soon after because I think it disturbed me already that all the currencies were knew and unfamiliar to me. Also the amounts on the bill were getting larger and larger. But I knew or felt the project was not going to require that much so it was all getting weird.


On hindsight, I realize I was being shown inflation. At least for our country we shall be experiencing it if this dream is prophetic but I also felt it going to be happening all over, on a worldwide scale. And it would catch us by surprise because that was how I felt in the dream- so fast.


Remember the project cost from beginning only so much but ended up costing perhaps a hundred times more in the end. There was no message to prepare financially though so again it is up to the reader what to do with this dream message.


I had no message today after my rosaries, and perhaps it was because this dream was the message.


for your discernment,


regards,


Marie


FINAL MESSAGE FROM JESUS TO THE LITTLEST OF SERVANTS FOR THE WORLD 18 May 2010

Over two thousand years I gave MY LIFE for the SALVATION of mankind. To bring all who desire it home to MY FATHER.


Now the time has come that the world must be cleansed of its sin. This ERA is about to end and the NEW ERA that will replace it will be as MY FATHER ORIGINALLY PLANNED IT.

If you have turned your HEART over to your JESUS.


DO NOT FEAR! DO NOT FEAR!!! I will provide for you.


If you have turned against ME preferring instead the WORLD and all that it has to offer then you have made your CHOICE. You will belong to the one that is soon to come who will claim to be ME. He will give you the world but you will ROT IN HELL with him.


The EVENTS that have been so long awaited will start soon and they will OCCUR WITH GREAT SPEED.


The WORLD as you know it is going to undergo GREAT CHANGE AS I WILL BE PREPARING IT FOR THE ERA OF PEACE.


Those who have CHOSEN to FOLLOW ME HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR. MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL CONQUER ALL.DO NOT FEAR DEATH OF THE BODY BUT FEAR DEATH OF THE SOUL. A SOUL THAT DIES SPENDS AN ETERNITY IN THE BURNING FIRES OF HELL


.For those who have FAITHFULLY FOLLOWED ME I PROMISE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE LOST BUT WILL SPEND ETERNITY WITH THE FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


I LOVE YOU!! I LOVE YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD AND YOU CELEBRATE IT WITH PRAYER AND REST. YOU GIVE TO GOD WHAT HE ASKS AND HE REMEMBERS THOSE WHO DO SO.


MY CHILDREN, THE WORLD IS IN CONFLICT, NOT JUST WITH EACH OTHER, BUT WITH GOD. THEY DO NOT HONOR OR KNOW THE FATHER, THEY IGNORE JESUS HIS SON, AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. HOW SAD IT IS TO SEE SUCH ANGUISH, SUCH LACK OF LOVE. BUT REMEMBER, GOD IS ALMIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL, AND HE DOES NOT DECLINE TO CLAIM WHAT IS HIS. AMONGST ALL THIS CHAOS, ARE THOSE WHO HAVE RESPONDED TO GOD'S LOVE AND ARE CALLED TO BE WITH HIM.


THEY FORM AN ARMY AND YOU MY CHILDREN ARE AMONGST THOSE CHOSEN FOR THESE TIMES. IN YOU GOD SAW WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO FORM A UNITY OF SOULS, THAT WOULD NOT BE JUST SOLDIERS OF CHRIST, BUT CARRIERS OF THE TRUTH. YOU WERE FORMED BY ME, THE MOTHER OF GOD AND AS YOU RESPONDED TO ME, YOU WERE FILLED WITH GRACE, AND NOW THE HOLY SPIRIT SHALL ADVISE YOU.


YOU WILL STAND FOR THE TRUTH AND YOU SHALL CARRY IT INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. HOW GRATEFUL I AM THAT YOU THE SMALLEST, THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT RESPONDED TO MY CALL.


BE ALWAYS SEEKING THE HOLY TRINITY - ITS MYSTERY WILL ONLY ENHANCE YOUR FAITH, YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR COURAGE.


I DRAW YOU ALL DEEP WITHIN MY HEART AND THERE I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


WITH GREAT LOVE DO MY PRIEST-SONS EXTEND TO YOU THE BLESSING OF CHRIST. HOW BLESSED YOU ARE TO KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS. RECEIVE IT WITH GRATITUDE, PRAISING AND THANKING GOD NOW - NOW AND FOREVER.

Jesus Speaks To Us About Protecting Our Children


Today we attended our usual 8:00 AM Mass where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all 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. On my knees with the Host on my tongue, I focused on the moment and communed with Jesus. I thanked Him for His many blessings and asked; Speak Lord if it be Your will, Your servant listens.


Jesus responded to my heart saying; My child Eileen, as the oil slick destroys the food supply for the fish in the ocean, so too does the evil in the world take the food of life away from My little ones! Pray for the children.


Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Message Thru Lec May 29, 2010 6:50 A.M.


Note: This message to me is somewhat personal as I feel that the Lord knows fully well that I am beginning to have doubts. The last two messages plus this one dwell only one theme, the coming of the Kingdom.


The Lord is much aware of my reluctance to break news on doom and gloom hence the emphasis solely on the Good News for the future skipping whatever unwelcome events might transpire before the birth of the New Earth. I have often wondered if I would still be alive to see the days of its fruition maybe thats why these assuring messages were given. Lec


Son, I am glad you give me time to listen and write. Still your thoughts and write that I wish everyone to get prepared for the coming of my Kingdom on Earth. All of these you will witness within your earth lifetime so do not fear what might befall the earth before the appointed glorious period comes.


I see that you are beleaguered by doubts about my promises because they have not come to fruition yet despite long years of waiting for its manifestation but now, doubt no more. Trust me. Tell my people who are waiting to persevere some more but then tell them also that the appointed time will come quite unexpectedly. Let that time not catch them unprepared.


Therefore, do not slacken in doing every good deed, helping those in need, comforting those who mourn, giving food to the hungry, clothing to those bereft of it, alms to the beggar, visiting, praying and giving relief to the sick and all those simple acts that make your brethren see my presence in you and that they will believe my words.


For if you my children do these things and keep your body and soul pure, then you are ready and will not be filled with anxiety for whatever might befall your world. FOR YOU WILL BE SAFE IN MY ARMS. Hold fast to my words and you will be glad you took heed.


7:10 A.M.


Do not fear neither be dismayed for that which is coming upon the face of the earth, for I am with you, says The Lord.

Jesus Again Reminds Us Of The Importance To Keep Our Trust In Him!


Today we attended the 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions.


Prior to receiving the most sacred Host, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I mad an Act of Contrition. After receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, I knelt in silent commune with Him. Giving thanks for all His many blessings, I prayed: Lord please remove all noise and sight for this moment, other than that which come directly from Your heart to mine!


Then Jesus spoke to my heart saying; Due to conditions and circumstances many stressful and debilitating events happen to My children. These conditions and circumstances are beyond their control.


Therefore I say unto you, Accept that which you have no control over while realizing that it is only your faith in God that will bring you through your tunnel of darkness.


Go in peace to love and serve the Lord and continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Message from our Blessed Mother at our weekly cenacle


My Beloved Children,


I thank you for your gathering here to pray. My heart rejoices when I hear your voices so united in prayer.


Vision:


Our Blessed Mother appears standing near me. She kisses her index finger and then places her finger on the forehead of each person in the room. She makes her way around the room imprinting this kiss on each of our foreheads. As she does this each kiss appears as a flame so each person receives this 'flame of love' from Our Mother tonight. It is very emotional.


Tonight I bless you with my Flame of Love


You are mine -- you and your families -- I embrace you into my Immaculate Heart.


Do not concern yourselves with the state of the world. Trust in God the Father.


He loves you so -- Continue to consecrate your families and your friends to the Love and the Mercy of the Holy Trinity.


Know that I am always with you -- You are already in my heart.


How I cherish your presence there. It warms my heart. Be at peace. I love you!


Thank you Blessed Mother, Praise be to God!

Message from our Blessed Mother at our weekly cenacle My Beloved Children, I thank you for your gathering here to pray. My heart rejoices when I hear your voices so united in prayer.


Vision:


Our Blessed Mother appears standing near me. She kisses her index finger and then places her finger on the forehead of each person in the room. She makes her way around the room imprinting this kiss on each of our foreheads. As she does this each kiss appears as a flame so each person receives this 'flame of love' from Our Mother tonight. It is very emotional.


Tonight I bless you with my Flame of Love


You are mine -- you and your families -- I embrace you into my Immaculate Heart. Do not concern yourselves with the state of the world. Trust in God the Father.


He loves you so -- Continue to consecrate your families and your friends to the Love and the Mercy of the Holy Trinity.


Know that I am always with you -- You are already in my heart.


How I cherish your presence there. It warms my heart. Be at peace. I love you!


Thank you Blessed Mother, Praise be to God!


Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle


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


June 1, 2010


Jesus


Dearest apostles, are you weary? Do you wonder why My service requires such holiness? I know that you do not always understand the relationship between your suffering and the graces I am sending to others. This is not clear to you when you are carrying heavy crosses that require great trust.


When you are with Me for eternity, you will understand this connection and you will rejoice that you were willing to remain in My service despite the demands made upon your will. I ask and I ask and again I ask, and you answer, and you answer, and again, you answer. My dear apostles, you are in such a habit of saying yes to Me, that you continue on, day after day.


The days are passing, are they not? One after another, days are completed and you have claimed grace for the world. This is how it has been arranged for you, dearest children of the Father. You are asked to be good and holy and in return, the Father cooperates by keeping your intentions close to His heart. In this moment, where you have been placed, there is grace.


Do you feel it? Do you trust Me? I am with you. I have not abandoned you. Will you resist the temptation to leave Me when I press on your commitment? If you ask Me for the grace of perseverance, I will give this to you. This is My gift. But you must ask for and then accept this gift.


If you feel like you are failing and yet you are trying to serve as best you can, then you must spend time with Me and examine the concept of failure from heavens view. You may find that you are a success in My eyes, even while the world dismisses your contribution. All is well. Do not fear fatigue. Only fear a decision to abandon Me. Remember, I will never leave you. Never. For past months' messsages, click here.http://directionforourtimes.com/p-message.html

My child, this is a call to mankind that he must return to his roots. That man must turn away from the darkness, the false realities that he has come to live by and the expectations that have filtered into his soul that are not of Me. I say to My children return to the roots of My Most Holy Family.


I call out to all men who are My priests, to the men who are husbands and fathers to get to know your Mother, My Mother. I say to you in a greater way today the words I spoke from the Cross to John Behold your Mother.


Demand nothing of your wives; demand nothing of your children except to love them and you will in turn receive everything. Come to your Mother My sons and you will learn to be as St. Joseph was to her. Too many today demand much but their souls are empty and they search for more by demanding more.


Come to your Mother, come to St. Joseph and they will guide you to Me and Divine Love will pour forth and one by one peace will begin to flow in the hearts of My children. Behold your MotherMy children and she will assist you to your heavenly place and it will begin by fulfilling your mission on this earth.


Now go forth for I am Jesus and be at peace for My mercy and justice will prevail.


5/16/10 2:15 PM


My child, I call My children to this time of passage. Passage of what mankind has come to be his ways of living that removes Me from all things. A time when the world will move into greater turbulence for the cries of justice have been heard.


Many wars rise up over the rights of this country and that country but I say to you whose land is it that man is destroying. This world is a gift and you become slaves to yourself by your lack of obedience to My Commandments. By your failure to heed to My mercy, I say to you do not look beyond the Cross to secure your happiness in this life.


Do not measure your life by the way in which your brother or sister lives for each and every soul has a mission written to be lived out that was designed in the Divine plan. You do not know if the way in which your neighbor lives is in accordance to My will. Live to serve My children for you are not the just judge, rather you are to be extended instruments of My mercy.


Love does not qualify itself to only limited things rather you must give it limitlessly. I weep My children because so few ever come to Me at Mass prepared to receive Me. Their minds and hearts are full of greed, anger, pride, bitterness and when the soul is full of this darkness it only pierces Me in a greater way.


I say to My children, go and purify your souls now and not at purgatory. You must prepare for Mass as you would prepare your soul for your day of judgment. I come to you My children out of a great abundance of love and that My children is mercy. Now go forth for I am Jesus and be at peace for all will be done according to My will.

Message Thru Marie - May 24, 2010


May 24, 2010 10pm after rosary and div mercy chaplet


Jesus in the Divine mercy: My precious blood I cover you my children especially in these times.


My precious blood I use to shield you not from suffering. Rather from the evil ones' efforts to defeat your tired, weary hearts.


My precious blood I give to mark you as my own. The enemy is repulsed by the sweet offering of my sacred blood at the altar.


My precious blood protects you in these times when danger lurks everywhere. The enemy does not sleep. The enemy will try to stop my children from availing of this most powerful remedy for the sickness plaguing men of today. esp sins of pride, lust, and greed.


My precious blood draws away the virus (sin) attacking all your vital organs.


I infuse you every moment you say:


Jesus Crucified, cover us with your precious blood!!! I infuse you with strength to untangle yourself from satan's seductive claws, call on me: Jesus Crucified, cover us with your precious blood!!!


I infuse you with humility as you make of your sufferings unworthy offerings at the foot of My Cross, call on me: Jesus Crucified, cover us with your precious blood!!! I infuse you with fortitude and patience as you continue to carry your cross up Calvary call on me: Jesus Crucified, cover us with your precious blood!!!!


I infuse you with trust as you abandon all to Me : totus tuus, totus tuus, totus tuus call on me: Jesus Crucified, cover us with your precious blood!!! I infuse you with peace, a lasting peace that is found only in heaven.


message continued on tuesday May 25, 2010 after sorrowful mysteries...


Jesus of the Divine Mercy:


My blood enlivens the soul, just as human blood enlivens the body. My blood will bring back your souls to life. Human blood is used to transport oxygen to the rest of the organs and tissues of the body and removes wastes, and is your defense against viruses and bacteria. (perhaps my biology background has input here).


My blood I give to you to bring My Life into your souls and to remove the stain of sin.


This is why I ask that you call on me: Jesus Crucified, cover me with your precious Blood. By these words, you strengthen your souls, you enliven your souls.


Each one of you who drinks from my cup of suffering, will find that as the weight of your cross increases, the degree of your unity to my cross and therefore unity to my Heart increases. By this means, shall I give you a new heart, My Heart. My Heart was torn open for love of you. My Heart suffers for you each day, crowned with a million thorns for love of you.


In these times, your crosses will grow and multiply. I want you to reflect My Heart more in these times. I need your patience now and I gift you grace to carry this cross. I do not leave you alone. You have Me and My Mother always. You also have others taking the cross I have gifted to them.


Find unity in sharing your cross with others. When you fuse your cross to theirs does not this form a more perfect sacrifice to the Father? Do not stop saying the Rosary, Call on Me, on My Mother. Continue going to Mass, make of your lives a living sacrifice. Offer, Offer, Offer together with Me all your crosses so we can bring in the reign of the new Kingdom of peace. The victory of the Cross and the Rosary is near.


end of message


Always call on my precious blood to cover you.


I have gifted you my Mother as the SIGN that the world is in grave danger. Now I gift you the last sign, My CROSS. There will be no other sign after this. All that is left is patient waiting for events to unfold. live in?


Medjugorje Message, 25. May 2010


Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but Satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.


Medjugorje Day By Day June 11 - I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY


"Ah, if we had the eyes of Angels with which to see our Lord Jesus Christ who is here present on this altar and who is looking at us, how we should love Him! We should never more wish to part from Him; we should wish to remain always at His feet. It would be a foretaste of Heaven. All else would become insipid to us." (St. John Vianney) Mother Teresa -- Works of love are always works of joy. We don't need to look for happiness; if we love for others we'll be given it. It is the gift of God.


Meditations by Padre Pio - My Jesus, my sweetness, my love, love which sustains me (AD,50).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen-- To uphold integrity, one must be honest through and through


"Crisis produces a hardened spiritual feeling which hinders understanding. Men do not like what they do not understand, or that which would demand a change in their lives. All the training of a university will not make certain persons mathematicians. If a person does not love truth and honesty, he cannot be made truthful and honest by expounding the definitions of these virtues. One must begin by creating within him conduct along the lines of these virtues; then he can be taught."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - This has been a great day for me. During this day I remained as though in unceasing contemplation; the very thought of this grace drew me into further contemplation; and throughout the whole day I continued in thanksgiving which I never stopped, because each recollection of this grace [of the Immaculate Conception of Mary] caused my soul ever anew to lose itself in God... (1416)


I want to live in the spirit of faith. I accept everything that comes my way as given me by the loving will of God, who sincerely desires my happiness. And so I will accept with submission and gratitude everything that God sends me. I will pay no attention to the voice of nature and to the promptings of self-love.


Before each important action, I will stop to consider for a moment what relationship it has to eternal life and what may be the main reason for my undertaking it: is it for the glory of God, or for the good of my own soul, or for the good of the souls of others? If my heart says yes, then I will not swerve from carrying out the given action, unmindful of either obstacles or sacrifices. I will not be frightened into abandoning my intention.


It is enough for me to know that it is pleasing to God. On the other hand, if I learn that the action has nothing in common with what I have just mentioned, I will try to elevate it to a loftier sphere by means of a good intention. And if I learn that something flows from my self-love, I will cancel it out right from the start. (1549)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY- These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.


JUNE 11 - I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY


Today Our Lady gives us her purpose in coming to Medjugorje:


Dear children, I call each of you to begin to live in God's love. Dear children, you are ready to commit sin and to place yourselves in Satan's hands without reflection. I call on each one of you to consciously choose God and to reject Satan.


I am your Mother and so I wish to lead all of you to complete holiness. I want you to be happy on earth and then to join me in heaven. This is, dear children, my purpose in coming here, and my desire (Monthly Message May 25, 1987).


St. Paul also speaks of the happiness which is ours as heirs of Christ:


When we cry, "Abba! Father!" It is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ-if, in fact we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him (Rom 8:16-17).


Reflection: Paul uses the term adoption to illustrate the believers' new relationship with God. In Roman culture, one who was adopted gained all the rights of a legitimate child in his new family. He became a full heir to his father's estate. Likewise, when a person becomes a Christian, he or she gains all the privileges and responsibilities of a child in God's family.


As the Creator's children we are no longer slaves. This is the core of the gospel message and the messages of Our Lady in Medjugorje: we are God's heirs, sharing in the great treasures of his kingdom. Even now he has given us the greatest of gifts: his Son, forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and eternal life.


Application: The Blessed Mother states that, "I want each one of you to be happy here on earth and to be with me in heaven." That is her purpose and her desire. She asks only that we, "consciously choose God and reject Satan." In your own words make this commitment today in prayer.


Message Thru Marie - May 17, 2010


May 17 Wed 6:30 am glorious mysteries


Mama Mary: What did you learn from last nights group mass followed by healing?


Me: That when we journey to you as a group, the Ride is steadier because we get to share our pains, we get to share our brothers and sisters pains and as we get to know them, as they trust us with their sufferings, we open our hearts more to each other. It is not enough to journey towards you alone.


I realize that by stretching ourselves out towards those in need, something happens, the presence of the Holy.Spirit is felt more keenly.


Mama Mary: Yes, this is the Holy Spirit whose presence can more fully be present and felt in groups united to My And My Sons hearts. What else did you notice?


Me: That when we open our hearts to others, The healing love that is God, flows more readily, streams more steadily, and enlarges our ability to love others in greater degree.


That it is not enough to search for our Lord on our own. Although yes.we can search for him alone But He wishes us to find the Love of God in community. Because God is United in his Trinitarian identity hence is his kingdom built on unity.


Pain and suffering comes from separation. When my children reunite through the Heart of My and My Sons hearts, we teach you to offer all your pains, to humble yourself, to unite your pains to ours, for in the spirit of sharing, the load you bear is diminished. We shall teach you how to suffer and give you joy and peace.


This group I bless with my light for you shall take up your crosses and reflect my Light. You shall amaze and teach by example. Abandon your own ways, stay obedient to our teachings for in my Son rests Truth.


Are not the lessons we bring given in greater measures? This is the sign, that the group is good by its fruits. The good tree bears good fruits.


Receive and reach out to your circle. You will find that you belong to many circles and more will you form and be part of for it is time to work the work of reflecting the light of my Sons cross. Share your crosses with one another. Be consoled that I embrace all in my motherly heart. Form this circle of trust. Entrust to each one your journey, your pains, all that have come to you for as you share, you allow all to enter your heart where I reside.


The more open you are to the group the more will the work flow and the greater will you reflect the Light of My and My sons great love for all.


I paused to say the divine mercy chaplet


Jesus: Why are we hurrying your group? Why have we quickened the pace?


All my flock everywhere (groups consecrated to our Lord and Mary) you can no longer cower in fear but take up your positions for you are now approaching the steep road of your Calvary. Take up the challenge. The chalice must be drunk, drink my blood.(the cup of suffering) It is the only journey to reach me. Recall what I said, you can no longer navigate the choppy waters all by yourself. You need to be fused to my and my mothers hearts by a powerful consecration daily, moment by moment, mindful of the enemy’s increasing attacks.


The world is about to erupt in chaos. This is why my community needs to stand firm and armed. Soon the enemy will incite groups to go against each other. Soon you shall witness groups going against their governments, against their leaders whether in business (corporations) and especially my church.


When this takes place all over, it will be sudden, you will be shocked at the speed for there will be no gradual build up. Things have been simmering everywhere in hardened hearts won over by the enemy and weakened by hard circumstance. Distrust abounds especially for all in authority. This is another sign of the nearness of the Illumination.


Be alert to group violence escalating in many places: whether it is gang warfare, or vandalism or riots and mob destruction of property, whether it is racial cleansing or religious cleansing, know that it is only one thing. They have left Me. Divided they will fall.


You are poised at this most historic moment for you, in your circle of love and trust and truth, shall spread and multiply My Love and cause positive changes to herald in the new reign that the Father has planned for humanity.


Just as the enemy is manically rushing to ignite these group chaos everywhere, you must hurry and act. Be the peace you look for, spread the love, be the trust that was shaken in you. Be my heaven on earth. Be My heart for others. Move in unity with the group. Reflect My light. This is your greatest task. I shall protect my own with my precious blood.


Message Thru Pia - From the Philippines - May 20, 2010


May 20, 2010


9:38pm


My dearest child how I love thee, how I love thee and there is nothing in this world that would separate Me from you nothing! Not death, not sin and certainly not your doubt and fears! Please child, let go and let God take over. I am here and I shall never leave you and that is My covenant with My children!


The angels and saints are with you and they are anticipating the coming event, they are saying that they are envious of you for you have this time to show your love for God above all. My child , I understand your qualmsthe every day grind and the everyday worries, I know, I know


SHHHH, hush your fears and your negative thinking! SHHHH, hush My child all your fears and negative living!


SHHHH, hush My child all your fears and negative ailments-physical or conjured by your insecurities!


Hush, My child for I am here and I shall never leave you Hush, My child hear the beating of My Sacred Heart! It beats for you and its hears your cries and pleas for healing,


My child , Hush,


Just trust in Me, I shall never, ever allow evil to reign upon this earth, NEVER Just trust in Me, for that is the most powerful , the sweetest words that Jesus loves to hear.


Please be what you are meant to be!


Be pleased for I am here! My sweet love, thank you so

Medjugorje Day By Day June 09 - ABANDON YOUR CONCERNS TO JESUS

 

Mother Teresa 

Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. Love has to be put into action. You have to love without expectation, to do something for love itself, not for what you may receive. If you expect something in return, then it isn't love, because true love is loving without conditions and expectations.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us love Jesus for His divine greatness, for His power in Heaven and on earth, for His infinite merits, but also and above all out of gratitude. Had He not been so good to us but more severe, how much less we would have sinned!. But when sin is followed with profound sorrow, with an honest resolution of never sinning again, an intense understanding of the great pain we have given to the mercy of God; when having rent the hardest fibers of our hearts we manage to shed scalding tears of repentance and love then, my son, the sin itself becomes a steppingstone which brings us closer, which raises us up, which leads us to Him more securely (GF,171)

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Into everyone's life the Son shines, enlightening us as to the mysteries of life

"G. K. Chesterton once said that God has put a tremendous mystery in nature itself and that is the sun. In the light of that one thing, which we cannot see because of its brightness, everything else is made clear. Likewise, thought we cannot comprehend the nature of God completely in this life, nevertheless, in the light of the truths which He revealed, everything else is made clear, such as the mystery of pain, suffering, death, life and birth."

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

The Lord gave me knowledge of the graces which He has been constantly lavishing on me. This light pierced me through and through, and I came to understand the inconceivable favors that God has been bestowing on me. I stayed in my cell for a long act of thanksgiving, lying face down on the ground and shedding tears of gratitude. I could not rise from the ground because, whenever I tried to do so, God's light gave me new knowledge of His grace. It was only at the third attempt that I was able to get up. As His child, I felt that everything the heavenly Father possessed was equally mine. He himself lifted me from the ground up to His Heart. I felt that everything that existed was exclusively mine, but I had no desire for it all, because God alone is enough for me.       (1279)

JUNE 9 - ABANDON YOUR CONCERNS TO JESUS

Today the Blessed Mother asks us to abandon our worries to her Son:

Why do you not put your trust in me? I know that you have been praying for a long time, but truly, surrender yourself. Abandon your concerns to Jesus. Listen to what he says in the gospel: "And who among you, through his anxiety, is able to add a single cubit to the length of his life?" (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana November 30, 1983).

In Psalm 37, trust is seen as the remedy to anxiety:

Trust in the Lord, and do good;

So you will live in the land, and enjoy security.

Take delight in the Lord,

And he will give you the desires of your heart. Our steps are made firm by the Lord, And he will give you the desires of your heart. Our steps are made firm by the Lord, When he delights in our way, Through we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, For the Lord holds us by the hand.

---Psalm 37:3-4, 23-24

Reflection:

The confident trust that the psalmist and Our Lady speak of today is a sister virtue to acceptance. For some, such as members of Alcoholics Anonymous the spirit of acceptance can be a life and death matter, for it is indispensable tool in their recovery.

In chapter 17 of Alcoholics Anonymous' Big Book, a physician in the program writes:

At last, acceptance proved to be the key to my drinking problem to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it's because I find some person, place, thing, or situation---some fact of my life---unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.

Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy.

I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.

With hard-won insight, the doctor speaks of his peace, or serenity, as inversely proportional to his expectations. The higher his expectations of other people are, the lower his serenity. "I can watch my serenity level rise," he says, "when I discard my expectations."

Application:

First, as Our Lady asks, abandon your anxieties and fear to her today, trusting in her great power. Second, as they do in AA meetings around the world, offer the Serenity Prayer. Keep it in mind for troubling times.

O Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day June 08 - TESTIFY THROUGH YOUR LIVES

 

"Visit the Blessed Sacrament often; there is your true life" (St. Paul of the Cross).

 

Mother Teresa 

When you know how much God is in love with you the you can only live your life radiating that love.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Valiantly fight temptations with strong souls, and fight along with the Supreme Chief. When you fall, do not stay there prostrated in body and spirit. Humble yourself greatly but without being discouraged. Lower yourself without degrading yourself. Wash your imperfections and falls with sincere tears of contrition, without lacking trust in divine goodness, which will always be greater than your ingratitude. Propose to make amends without being presumptuous, but your strength must be in God alone. Finally, confess sincerely that if God were not your beast-plate and shield, you would be imprudently pierced with every kind of sin (Letters III, p. 702).

When you know how much God is in love with you the you can only live your life radiating that love.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

A closer look can reveal wonders

"Mystery is like a telescope of the eye. The instrument does not destroy vision, but opens new worlds hitherto unrevealed. A proud person might ask why he or she should believe that there is anything else in the world to see or know, except that which one's natural powers can compass. Pride then precludes the knowledge of other worlds."

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

 

  God of great mercy, who deigned to send us Your only-begotten Son as the greatest proof of Your fathomless love and mercy, You do not reject sinners; but in Your boundless mercy You have opened for them also Your treasures, treasures from which they can draw abundantly, not only justification, but also all the sanctity that a soul can attain. Father of great mercy, I desire that all hearts turn with confidence to Your infinite mercy. No one will be justified before You if he is not accompanied by Your unfathomable mercy. When You reveal the mystery of Your mercy to us, there will not be enough of eternity to properly thank You for it.       (1122)

JUNE 8 - TESTIFY THROUGH YOUR LIVES

The Gospa speaks of living the messages of Medjugorje:

Dear children, today I invite you to live in humility all the messages which I have given you. Do not become arrogant in living the messages and boast that, "I am living the messages." If you live and bear my messages with your heart, everyone will sense it so that words, which serve only those who do not obey, will not be necessary. For you dear children, it is necessary to testify through your lives (Weekly Messages September 20, 1985).

Paul also expresses concern about those who merely speak of faith, but do not live it:

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. For the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power (1 Cor 4:19-20).

Reflection:

We have all met people who have talked a lot about faith, but that was all it was-talk. They may know all the right words to say, but their lives are not examples of Christian living. Today Paul says that the kingdom of God is to be lived, not just discussed. There is a big difference between knowing the right words and living them out.

This is the message of Our Lady as wee: "It is necessary to live and testify by your lives."

Application:

Today, pray simply for the grace to "live in humility all the messages which I have given you."

Medjugorje Day By Day June 07 - LOVE EACH OTHER

 

St. Mary Magdalen di Pazzi, Carmelite Nun, Incorrupt (1566-1607)—Feast, May 25
A mystic, St. Mary Magdalen, wrote: "O Sisters, if we would only comprehend the fact that while the Eucharistic Species remain within us, Jesus is there and working in us inseparably with the Father and the Holy Spirit and therefore the whole Holy Trinity is there."

 

Mother Teresa 

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not yet come; we must live each day as if it were our last so that when God calls us we are ready, and prepared, to die with a clean heart.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Do not be surprised at your weakness, but acknowledge what you are, and blush at your infidelity towards God, then confide in Him and abandon yourselves tranquilly in the arms of the Heavenly Father, like a child in the arms of its mother (AP).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

It's no Mystery that Mystery, such as the Mystery of the Holy Trinity, transcends all reason

"Almost all of us are willing to learn, either from the book of nature, or from the lips of others. But some of us are unwilling to accept mysteries or the revelation of God, or wisdom which transcends both the power of nature and the learning of others. Mystery, however, does not mean an idea which is opposed to reason, but one which transcends it."

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

I made an hour of adoration in thanksgiving for the graces which had been granted me and for my illness. Illness also is a great grace. I have been ill for four months, but I do not recall having wasted so much as a minute of it. All has been for God and souls; I want to be faithful to Him everywhere.

During this adoration, I realized the utter care and goodness that Jesus has been lavishing upon me and the protection He has given me against all evil. I thank You especially, Jesus, for visiting me in my solitude, and I thank You also for inspiring my superiors to send me for this treatment. Give them, Jesus, the omnipotence of Your blessing and compensate them for all the losses incurred because of me.       (1062)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

JUNE 7 - LOVE EACH OTHER

The Madonna speaks of loving one another:

Dear children, thank you for every prayer. Try to pray continuously, and do not forget that I love you and that I desire all of you to love each other. (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana May 26, 1984).

One of the fruits of love is reconciliation. In his letter to Philemon, Paul acts as a reconciler between this wealthy Christian and his runaway slave, Onesimus

For this reason, thought I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do your duty, yet I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love-and I, Paul, do this as an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus. I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become during my imprisonment.

So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account (Phlm 1:8-10,17-18).

Reflection:

According to Fr. Slavko Barbaric, reconciliation is a fundamental process that God intends every soul to experience. It is a means of freeing oneself from inner ties and chains, of tearing down the walls and barriers that we have erected through sin and hate.

"Reconciliation means simply accepting oneself and others as we are," he says, "and starting where we are now to tear down the walls that separate us from God and one another."

He continues, "Reconciliation also means to let go of hasty judgments of one another and to accept that we are all weak and limited in many ways." It means to deeply experience our common origin from God, that we are truly one in him.

Application:

This week, made an overture to someone your have resented or disliked in the past. Ask Our Lady to be with you during this encounter.

Medjugorje Day By Day June 06 - THE DEVIL TRIES TO IMPOSE HIS POWER

 

St. Philip Neri, Priest, Patron of Rome, Oratory Founder (1515-1595)—Feast, May 26 Said: "With true and living faith I believe that in this adorable Sacrament  Thou Thyself, true God and true Man, art present, Who being the sole-begotten  Son of God didst yet, from Thy great love for man, take to Thyself human flesh
in the most pure womb of Mary ever virgin."

 

Mother Teresa 

Anyone is capable of going to Heaven. Heaven is our home. Dying is not the end, it is just the beginning. Death is a continuation of life. This is the meaning of eternal life; it is where our soul goes to God, to be in the presence of God, to see God, to speak to God, to continue loving Him with greater love. We only surrender our body in death - our heart and our soul live forever

Meditations by Padre Pio -

What else can I say to you? May the grace and peace of the Holy Spirit always be the centre of your heart. Place your heart in the open side of your Saviour and unite it with the King of our hearts who is within it as on a royal throne, in order that He might receive homage and obedience from all other heart. Keep its door open so that everybody can approach Him and gain an audience at all times. And when your heart speaks to Him, don't forget, my dearest daughter, to speak in favour of mine again, so that His divine and cordial Majesty might render it good, obedient, faithful and less wretched than it is (Letters III p. 431).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Someone's title does not necessarily assure right judgment

"The human mind has two faculties: one speculative, which is directed to knowledge; the other the will, which carries that knowledge into action, and which chooses and decides. An evil life does not spoil the speculative intellect. An atomic scientist who is immoral does not directly impair his atomic knowledge. But when it comes to judgment, to directing and guiding, then the evil life exercises its influence. Any person who consults a psychiatrist should first make an analysis of the kind of life he lives, because though his scientific equipment may be good, when it comes to giving counsel, the doctor may be incapable. Our Blessed Lord warned that behavior affects attitudes toward Him. 'You will not come to Me because your lives are evil.'"

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

 

   O Uncreated Beauty, whoever comes to know You once cannot love anything else. I can feel the bottomless abyss of my soul, and nothing will fill it but God himself. I feel that I am drowned in Him like a single grain of sand in a bottomless ocean...     .(343)

You have surrounded my life with Your tender and loving care, more than I can comprehend, for I will understand Your goodness in its entirety only when the veil is lifted. I desire that my whole life be but one act of thanksgiving to You, O God....      (1285)

Having awakened several times during the night, I thanked God briefly, but with all my heart, for all the graces He has given to me and to our Congregation, [and] I reflected on His great goodness.       (1291)

JUNE 6 - THE DEVIL TRIES TO IMPOSE HIS POWER

In the first months of the apparitions, Our Lady spoke of Satan:

The Devil tries to impose his power on you, but you must remain strong and persevere in your faith. You must pray and fast. I will always be close to you (First Years November 1981).

And in John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of the Evil One:

You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies (Jn 8:44).

Reflection:

Satan normally tries to work in a covert manner, but at times he can be clearly recognized because of the intensity of the evil. Our Lady says that he has been especially active during this century; his presence dominated the war years and such abhorrent places as concentration camps. Here he reigned supreme amid the slave labor and gas chambers.

In my visit to Dachau in 1992, I could still discern his shadow, like so many others, in the crematoriums, the watchtowers, the mass graves. During the war the Dachau prisoners were hired out and full use was made of them in the armaments industry, always under strong guard. In the office of the Dachau commandant, the Allies found an incredible document that estimated the profit that could be made from each worker. It read as follows:

Average daily amount for loan of prisoner 6.00 Marks

Deduction for food - .60

Deduction for use of clothes - .10

5.30 Marks

Average duration of life: 9 months,

270 days X 5.30 Marks = 1,431 Marks

Proceeds from rational disposal of corpse:

1. Gold teeth. 2. Clothes. 3. Valuables 202 Marks

Deduction for the costs of cremation - 2.00

Average net profit 200

Total profit after 9 months 1,631 Marks

Plus proceeds from the utilization of bones and ashes

I would have liked to think that such evil and violence was part of history now. But on the drive back to Medjugorje, we passed through the Croatian city of Zoar, where the buildings were riddled with machinegun and mortar fire from the federal army.

Our Lady's emphasis on the reality of Satan is not meant to frighten us, but to protect us. Our armor is the gospel and her messages.

Application:

Today, pray especially for the innocent victims of evil and for the grace to recognize Satan and his works.

Medjugorje Day By Day June 05 - BE RECONCILED

 

Mother Teresa 

It is important to gain self-knowledge as part of spiritual growth - to know yourself and believe in yourself means you can know and believe in God. Knowledge of yourself produces humility, and knowledge of God produces love.

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us remember that the Heart of Jesus has called us not only for our own sanctification, but also for that of other souls. He wants to be helped in the salvation of souls.

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Keeping the slate clean

"The cleanliness of the slate of man is dependent upon the way he lives, ie. his moral life. It is too often assumed that ignorance is due solely to a want of learning. This is not true. Not every D.D. is a saint. An evil life prevents the accumulation of wisdom."

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

I thank God for this illness and these physical discomforts, because I have time to converse with the Lord Jesus. It is my delight to spend long hours at the feet of the hidden God, and the hours pass like minutes as I lose track of time. I feel that a fire is burning within me, and I understand no other life but that of sacrifice, which flows from pure love.       (784)

Oh, how drab and full of misunderstandings is this life! My patience is exercised, and after it comes experience. I understand and learn many things each day and see that I know very little, and I am constantly discovering faults in my conduct. Still, I am not discouraged by this, but thank God that He deigns to grant me His light that I may know myself.       (900)

JUNE 5 - BE RECONCILED

The Virgin today speaks of reconciliation and unity:

Pray, because I need more prayers. Be reconciled, for I desire reconciliation among you and a greater love for each other, like brothers. It is my wish that prayer, peace, and love blossom within you. (Locutionnist Jelena & Mirijana February 2, 1984).

St. Paul calls for unity and reconciliation within the church at Corinth:

I have applied all this to Apollos and myself for your benefit, brothers and sisters, so that you may learn through us the meaning of the saying "Nothing beyond what is written," so that non of you will be puffed up in favor of one against another. For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift (1 Cor 4:7).

Reflection:

Both Paul and Our Lady call us to unity and a non-judgmental attitude toward others. We may be tempted to judge a fellow Christian, evaluating whether he or she is a worthy follower of Christ. But only God knows a person's heart, as Paul stresses today, and he is the only on who has the right to judge.

The Corinthians, to whom Paul was writing, had split into various factions, each following its own spiritual leader. Each clique believed it was the only one that had the whole truth, and was proud of it. Paul chided them for their arrogance and emphasized that they were all humble servants of the Lore, simple messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

His exhortation was like that of Our Lady's today:

"Be reconciled, because I desire reconciliation among you, and more love for each other, like brothers."

Application:

Sometimes friction or rivalries cans develop among various parish groups, organizations, or individuals. Today, make a commitment to the Lord to be a peacemaker within your home parish. Pray that all will be united in the service and love of Christ.

Medjugorje Day By Day June 04 - I CALL YOU TO HUMILITY

 

 

The Greatest Destroyer of Love and Peace is abortion 
Mother Teresa

 

"I will not rest until I find the whole world devoted to the Blessed
Sacrament!" (Bl. Didacus Joseph of Cadiz).

 

Mother Teresa 

There is only one God and He is God to all: therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic.

My television is the Tabernacle.  (Mother Teresa)

Padre Pio -

I never cease to implore blessings for you from Jesus, and to beg the Lord to transform you totally in Him. Oh my daughter! How beautiful is His face, how sweet His eyes and what a good thing it is to stay close to Him on the mount of His Glory! We must place all our desires and affections there… Contrary to our every merit, we are on the steps of Tabor, by having a firm determination to love and serve His divine goodness well (Letters III, pp. 409-410).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Starting out with a clean slate

"Every human being at his birth has everything to learn. His mind is a kind of blank slate on which truths can be written. How much he will learn will depend on two things: how clean he keeps his slate and the wisdom of the teachers who write it."

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

 

Thank You, O God, for the grace of a vocation
For being called to serve You alone,
Leading me to make You my sole love,
An unequal honor for my soul.

Thank You, O Lord, for perpetual vows,
For that union of pure love,
For having deigned to unite Your pure heart with mine
And uniting my heart to Yours in the purest of bonds.

Thank You, O Lord, for the Sacrament of Anointing
Which, in my final moments, will give me strength;
My help in battle, my guide to salvation,
Fortifying my soul till we rejoice forever.

Thank You, O God, for all the inspirations
That Your goodness lavishes upon me,
For the interior lights given my soul,
Which the heart senses, but words cannot express.

Thank You, O Holy Trinity, for the vastness of the graces
Which You have lavished on me unceasingly through life.
My gratitude will intensify as the eternal dawn rises,
When, for the first time, I sing to Your glory.       (1286b)

JUNE 4 - I CALL YOU TO HUMILITY

The Blessed Mother calls us to humility today:

Dear children, today I call you to humility. These days you have felt great joy because of all the people who have come here, and to whom you have spoken with love about your experiences. With humility and an open heart, continue to speak with all who are coming (Weekly Message JUNE 27, 1985).

Jesus also speaks of humility, of becoming children in the hands of God:

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heave?" He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Mt 18:1-4).

Reflection:

Christ points to the characteristics of a child to help his self-centered disciples get the message. We are not to be childish (like the disciples, arguing over petty issues), but rather childlike, with humble and sincere hearts.

The disciples had become so preoccupied with the organization of Jesus' earthly kingdom, they had lost sight of its divine purpose. Instead of seeking a place of service, they sought positions of advantage. How easy it is to lose our eternal perspective and to seek to fulfill our own ambitions. How hard it is to identify with little children, humble and dependent people with little status or influence.

Application:

Thoreau once wrote, "Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights." Today as Our Lady asks, pray for this virtue which deepens our trust and peace.

Medjugorje Day By Day June 03 - READ THE BIBLE

 

"Ah!  If we had faith!  If we were penetrated by the thought that at this moment Our Lord is on the altar!  We would be motionless, we would forget that we have bodies
 . . . .  We have so much to ask for the Church, for sinners, for the Society, for our families, for the children entrusted to us, for  ourselves" (St. Madeleine Sophie Barat).

 

Mother Teresa 

We are all capable of good and evil. We are not born bad: everybody has something good inside. Some hide it, some neglect it, but it is there. God created us to love and to be loved, so it is our test from God to choose one path or another.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Jesus you already come into my soul. With what food must I feed You? With love! But my love is false, Jesus I love You very much, make up for my love (AD,36).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The sign of character is in the little things

"Faithfulness in great things is not uncommon; faithfulness in little things is rare but most indicative of true character."

 

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

 

Thank You, O God, for all the graces
Which unceasingly You lavish upon me,
Graces which enlighten me with the brilliance of the sun,
For by them You show me the sure way.

Thank You, O Lord, for creating me,
For calling me into being from nothingness,
For imprinting Your divinity on my soul,
The work of sheer merciful love.

Thank You, O God, for Holy Baptism
Which engrafted me into Your family,
A gift great beyond all thought or expression
Which transforms my soul.

Thank You, O Lord, for Holy Confession,
For that inexhaustible spring of great mercy,
For that inconceivable fountain of graces
In which sin-tainted souls become purified.

Thank You, O Jesus, for Holy Communion
In which You give us Yourself.
I feel Your Heart beating within my breast
As You cause Your divine life to unfold within me.

Thank You, O Holy Spirit, for the Sacrament of Confirmation,
Which dubs me Your knight
And gives strength to my soul at each moment,
Protecting me from evil.       (1286a)

JUNE 3 - READ THE BIBLE

Today the Blessed Mother speaks of sacred scripture:

Dear children, today I ask you to read the Bible in your homes every day. Put it in a visible place where it will always remind you to read it and pray it (Weekly Message October 18, 1984).

St. Paul also speaks of the value of scripture:

All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work (2Tm 3:16-17).

Reflection:

A record price of two million dollars was paid recently for a copy of the Latin gospels, dated 997. The book, originally printed in Germany, is 9 x 6½ inches long and consists of 168 parchments pages illustrated with colorful scenes from scripture.

Those who place such value on works of art could gain far richer treasure if they were to become as motivated to study the scriptures as were the monks who adorned them so beautifully. The original artists devoted painstaking effort to the long and arduous task of copying the gospels by hand and embellishing the margins. They were sparked by the ardent desire to glorify God and to remind their fellow men and women of the lasting beauty of his inspired word.

Application:

Today let us simply take Our Lady's advice to, "read the Bible every day in your homes, and let it be in a visible place so as to always encourage you to read it and pray."

 

Medjugorje Day By Day May 18 - READ SACRED SCRIPTURES

 

"The faith of the Church is this: That one and identical is the Word of God and the Son of Mary Who suffered on the Cross, Who is present in the Eucharist, and Who rules in Heaven" (Pope Pius XII).

 

Mother Teresa 

If we worry too much about ourselves, we won't have time for others.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Mary's holy soul, like a dove set free, left her saintly body and flew to the bosom of her Beloved.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The magnetic pull of good!

"The psychological effect is entirely different when those who truly love God do wrong. The difference between them and others is like to that between a waif who steals and a devoted son who steals. The first does not feel the rupture of a relationship; the second does. The latter has hurt one whom he really loves. Furthermore, the waif does not feel the urge to restore the broken buds of love, but the ordinary good boy does. There is a mysterious magnet operating in the case of the good. As the steel filings fly to the attraction of the magnet, leaving the dirt behind, so the good are pulled back again to God, but only after having shaken the dust of evil from their lives."

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

 

In that same moment, the soul drowns entirely in Him and experiences a happiness as great as that of the chosen ones in heaven. Although the chosen ones in heaven see God face to face and are completely and absolutely happy, still their knowledge of God is not the same. God has given me to understand this. This deeper knowledge begins here on earth, depending on the grace [given], but to a great extent it also depends on our faithfulness to that grace.

However, the soul receiving this unprecedented grace of union with God cannot say that it sees God face to face, because even here there is a very thin veil of faith, but so very thin that the soul can say that it sees God and talks with Him. It is "divinized." God allows the soul to know how much He loves it, and the soul sees that better and holier souls than itself have not received this grace. Therefore, it is filled with holy amazement, which maintains it in deep humility, and it steeps itself in its own nothingness and holy astonishment; and the more it humbles itself, the more closely God unites himself with it and descends to it.

The soul, at this moment is, as it were, hidden; its senses are inactive; in one moment, it knows God and drowns in Him. It knows the whole depth of the Unfathomable One, and the deeper this knowledge, the more ardently the soul desires Him.       (771)

Dear children, on this great day which you have given me, I wish to bless all of you and say: these days that I am with you are days of grace.

I want to teach you and help you walk in the way of holiness. There are many people who do not want to understand my messages nor to seriously accept what I am saying. Therefore I call you to witness to my presence here through your lives---through your day-to-day living.

If you pray, God will help you discern the true reason for my coming. And so, little children, pray and read the sacred scriptures so that through the graces that have accompanied my coming, you can discern the messages in sacred scripture for you.

St. Paul also emphasizes the importance and power of scripture:

For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. In it the righteousness of God is revealed. (Rom 1:16-17).

Reflection:

Mark Twain once wrote that, "Most people are bothered by those passages in scripture which they cannot understand; but as for me, I always noticed that the passages in scripture which they cannot understand; but as for me, I always noticed that the passages in scripture which trouble me most are those that I do understand."

The scriptures are indeed challenging, being much more than poetry and parables; they provide a whole new way of living based on our redemption through Jesus Christ. That is why the Blessed Mother urges us to read the Bible daily, for it reveals her Son to us in greater and greater depth. Thus St. Jerome could say:

"To be ignorant of the scriptures is not to know Christ." And since he is the way, the truth, and the life, it is essential that we know him intimately.

Application:

Today, take several minutes to reflect on the Parable of the Sower as found in Luke 8:4-15.

Mother Teresa 

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May the Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her Most Holy Son, every heavenly blessing.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The clash of egos is always a losing proposition

"When a person builds his philosophy of life on the principle of self-will, he is in for a tremendous shock. It happens that most other people he meets in the world have exactly the same principle. The result is that one individual has self-will contradicted by another; the ego is negated by another ego; wishes are not fulfilled; whims are negated, crossed and rejected by other egos equally bent on self assertion."

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

  My Jesus, despite Your graces, I see and feel all my misery. I begin my day with battle and end it with battle. As soon as I conquer one obstacle, ten more appear to take its place. But I am not worried, because I know that this is the time of struggle, not peace. When the burden of the battle becomes too much for me, I throw myself like a child into the arms of the heavenly Father and trust I will not perish. O my Jesus, how prone I am to evil, and this forces me to be constantly vigilant. But I do not lose heart. I trust God's grace, which abounds in the worst misery.       (606)

May 15 - GIVE THEM LIGHT

Today the Blessed Virgin calls us to light:

Dear children, you have all experienced light and darkness during your lives. God gives every person the power to recognize good and evil. I am calling you to light, which you must carry to all who are in darkness. From day to day, people who are in darkness come into your homes. You, dear children, must give them the light (Weekly Message March 14, 1985).

As we see in John's gospel, Jesus himself is the light

Jesus said to them, "The light is with you a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness May not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you May become children of light." (Jn 12:35-36).

Reflection:

There is a famous cave, some 60 miles from Auckland in New Zealand. It is known as the cave of the glowworms. You reach it in a boat which is pulled by a wire for silence. As you glide down the stream, you suddenly come across a soft light gleaming in the distance; then you enter a magic world. From the top of the cave, thousands of threads hang down from the glowing insects. So great is the light that it is possible to read a book there. But if there is a slightest noise, the bright light dies out, just as if a switch had been turned off.

The light to one committed Christian can illuminate not only his family, but also the parish and community in which he lives. Most of us have known someone like this; their kindness, unselfishness, and love have had special effect on our lives. If you multiply such an individual several million times, you have a power which can enlighten an entire world. This is the reason why Our Lady came to Medjugorje, and why we have been asked to live her messages.

Application:

Carry the light of faith and peace to all you meet today. May your example draw them closer to Christ.

 

Medjugorje Day By Day June 02 - PRAY AND FAST

 

Holy Folly!

For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.  Still, you can't get there from here apart from the cross. 

A whole world system has been erected in order to avoid that simple fact and it has looked for salvation in a thousand forms, all predicated on building heaven on earth by being rich enough, smart enough, socialist enough, white enough, black enough, German enough, religious enough, etc.  The goal has always been the same: don't lose.  Be a winner.  Crosses are for suckers and saps and losers. 

And so, God made this ultimately foolish thing the ultimate wisdom.  He made the ultimate sign of weakness the ultimate sign of strength.

 

"The bread and wine, by the action of the Holy Spirit, really become the body and blood of Christ, who gives himself to be man's nourishment in his journey on earth."  "The same logic of love precedes the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary and his making himself present in the Eucharist. It is `agape,' charity, love in the most beautiful and pure sense" (From Pope John Paul II's, April 8, 2004 homily).

 

Mother Teresa -

God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us look with profound gratitude at that sublime mystery which attracted the Heart of Jesus to His creature with such force; let us look at the great condescension with which He put on our own flesh to live the miserable life of this earth in our midst; let us muster up all the forces of our intellect to consider worthily the tenacious fervour and hardship of His apostolate, to recall the horror of His passion and martyrdom and to adore His Blood… royally offered to the last drop for the redemption of mankind; then with humble faith and the same ardent love with which He surrounds and pursues our soul, let us bow our impure foreheads at His feet (GF,170).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

The sign of character is in the little things

"Faithfulness in great things is not uncommon; faithfulness in little things is rare but most indicative of true character."

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

 

One day during Holy Mass, the Lord gave me a deeper knowledge of His holiness and His majesty, and at the same time I saw my own misery. This knowledge made me happy, and my soul drowned itself completely in His mercy. I felt enormously happy.       (1801)

One day, when I was preparing for Holy Communion and noticed that I had nothing to offer Him, I fell at His feet, calling down all His mercy upon my poor soul: "May Your grace, which flows down upon me from Your Compassionate Heart, strengthen me for the struggle and sufferings, that I may remain faithful to You. And, although I am such misery, I do not fear You, because I know Your mercy well. Nothing will frighten me away from You, O God, because everything is so much less than what I know [Your mercy to be]-I see that clearly.       (1803)

Today, I am not forcing myself to make any special preparation. I cannot think of anything, though I feel many things. I long for the time when God will come to my heart. I throw myself in His arms and tell Him about my inability and my misery. I pour out all the pain of my heart, for not being able to love Him as much as I want. I arouse within myself acts of faith, hope and charity and live on that throughout the day.       (1813)

JUNE 2 - PRAY AND FAST

In January of 1984, Jelena received the following locution:

Pray and fast. For those who want to make a special sacrifice, fast up to three times a week at the most, but do not prolong it further (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 22, 1984).

Jesus also advises his followers on fasting:

And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you (Mt 6:16-18).

Reflection:

A fruitful fast often depends on the right attitude at the beginning. Here, then, is a condensed version of a prayer for just that purpose, written by Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries. Loving Father, today I have decided to fast. I can remember that your prophets of old fasted, that Jesus our Lord fasted, as did his disciples. The Blessed Virgin also fasted and has called me as well. Eternal Father, I offer this day of fasting to you. May it draw me closer to you, teach me your ways, and open my eyes to see your many gifts. May love for you and for my neighbor fill my heart to overflowing.

Lord, may this fast help me to grow in understanding the hungry, the deprived, the poor. Let me see my possessions as gifts for the journey meant to be shared. Grant also to me the grace of humility and the strength to do your will.

Lord, may this fast cleanse me of bad habits, calm my passions, and increase your virtues within me. And may you, Mother Mary, obtain for me the grace of a joyful fast, that my heart may sing with you a song of thanksgiving. I place my decision to fast firmly in your hands. Teach me through fasting to be more and more like your Son, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Application:

Use Fr. Salvo's prayer on the morning of your next several fast days.

Our Lady of Medjugorje's June 2, 2010 Message through Mirjana:

 

The following is Our Lady of Medjugorje's June 2, 2010 Message on the day for non-believers through Mirjana:

"Dear children, today I call you, with fasting and prayer, to clear the way by which my Son will enter into your hearts. Accept me as a mother and a messenger of God's love and of His desire for your salvation. Free yourself of everything from the past which burdens you and gives you a sense of guilt; of everything that brought you to error - darkness. Accept the light. Be born anew in the justice of my Son. Thank you."

"Were it not for the constant presence of our divine Master in our humble chapel I would have found it possible to persevere in sharing the lot of the lepers in Molokai

Mother Teresa  

We all need time for silence, to reflect and pray.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May the Heart of Jesus be the goal of all your inspirations (ASN,44)

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The separation of state from man's soul

"The stubborn worship of a theory has had most appalling consequences in our day. To the theorist, it does not seem to matter that whole nations are deprived of liberty, that millions starve, that thousands are purged - so long as the theory is maintained in power. Instead of making the hat of governmental policy fit the head of man, the modern tendency is to cut off the head if it does not fit the hat - to demand that institutions, political schemes and social theories must prevail, no matter if their cost proves to be the destruction of man himself."

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

May You be adored, O merciful God of ours,
O All-powerful Lord and Creator.
In deepest humility, we give You praise,
Plunging ourselves into the ocean of Your Godhead.

But man did not persevere in the hour of trial.
At the instigation of the evil one, he became unfaithful to You.
He lost Your grace and gifts; only misery was left him,
And tears, suffering, sorrow and bitterness, until he would
      rest in the grave.

But you, O merciful God, did not let humanity perish,
And gave it the promise of a Redeemer.
You did not let us despair, despite our grave offenses,
And You sent Your prophets to Israel.

Still, day and night, mankind cries out to You,
From the abyss of misery, sin and all pain.
Hear the moaning and the tears, You who reign in heaven,
God of great mercy, God of compassion....

Humanity calls out to You unceasingly, O Lord of Lords,
Calls out to Your unfathomable mercy, to Your compassion.
O great Yahweh, grant that we may make atonement,
Remember Your goodness, and forgive us our sins.       (1744) 

  MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

JUNE 1 - TO BECOME PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS

Our Lady expresses her high regard for the priesthood and religious life, and for our free will:

I would like all of you to become priests and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose (First Years December 8, 1981).

And in his letter to Timothy, Paul calls for appreciation and support of the local church leaders (elders):

Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of the double honor especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. Never accept any accusation against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses (1 Tm 5:17,19).

Reflection:

In answering questions from the visionaries about their futures, it is significant that the Virgin would first recommend the priesthood and religious life. Her esteem for these vocations is shared by St. Paul, who called on the early church to support and encourage their leaders.

It's not surprising, then, that the priesthood is a special target of the Evil One. No greater damage can be done to the church than to injure its shepherds. Add to this the apathy and secularism of many Catholics, and it is not hard to understand the discouragement of some priests and the subsequent clergy shortage.

But there are reasons for hope. Medjugorje and the Marian and charismatic movement s have been producing scores of vocations and deepening the spiritual lives of many Catholics, brightening the horizon of the church as she enter the 21st century.

Application:

Here are a few ways you can buoy the priesthood in your own area through the support and encouragement of your parish priest:

--Simply befriend your local priest; be positive and supportive rather than critical and discouraging.

--Greet your parish priest after Mass; if you liked his homily, be sure to tell him so.

--Send him a little note or greeting card at Christmas and Easter, perhaps with a gift.

--Our Lady once said, "Do not judge the priest." Gossip or slander, like any other sin, should be avoided.

--Remember that priests are human beings. Like everyone they have strengths and weaknesses, virtues and foibles. Be as accepting and supportive of them as you would of any friend.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 31 - FEAST OF THE VISITATION

 

"By partaking of the body and blood of Christ you become one body and one blood with him. In such a way you become bearers of Christ, his body and blood spread through your limbs. In this way you become, in the words of St. Peter, 'partakers of the divine nature'" (St. Cyril of Jerusalem).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The lure of evil!

"It is a fact that more crimes are committed in one year on television than in six major cities of the United States; a threat or an act of violence is enacted every two and one half minutes on children's television shows. In the end, the police always catch up with the criminal, thus giving a smattering of justice. It is now a mark of a simpleton to exhibit a naive surprise at the quantity of evil that is in the world. This major interest in crime indicates something new - namely, the obtrusiveness of evil. Added to this is the psychological fact that evil is pictured in someone else."

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

  

Today the Lord said to me, Daughter, when you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul and ennobles it. Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul. When you approach the confessional, know this, that I Myself am waiting there for you. I am only hidden by the priest, but I myself act in your soul. Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy. Tell souls that from this fount of mercy souls draw graces solely with the vessel of trust. If their trust is great, there is no limit to My generosity. The torrents of grace inundate humble souls. The proud remain always in poverty and misery, because My grace turns away from them to humble souls.      (1602)

O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul. Prolong my sufferings to infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love. I accept everything that Your hand will hold out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me. I will glorify You in abandonment and darkness, in agony and fear, in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart. In all things may You be blessed. My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern.       (1662)

  MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

May 31 - FEAST OF THE VISITATION

As she bore Jesus in her womb when visiting Elizabeth, so Our Lady wishes to bear us to he Son:

Dear children, I am with you even if you are not conscious of it. I want to protect you from everything that Satan offers you, and through which he wants to destroy you. As I bore Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you into holiness.

God wants to save you and sends you messages through men, nature, and so many things, which can only help you to understand that you must change the direction of your life.

Therefore, little children, understand the greatness of the gift which God is giving you through me, so that I May protect you with my mantle and lead you the joy of life (Monthly Message March 25, 1990).

And from Luke's gospel, the story of the Visitation:

In those days Mary set out and went with hast to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry,

"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord" (Lk 1:39-45).

Reflection:

On this feast of the Visitation, celebrated as the second joyful mystery of the rosary, Our Lady states that "as I bore Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you unto holiness." Here Mary draws a beautiful parallel: just as she carried the unborn Jesus to her cousin Elizabeth, so she wishes to bear each of us, safe and protected, to holiness-to intimacy with God.

Her cousin was deeply aware of the greatness of the gift that Mary bore: "blessed is the fruit of your womb." In a like fashion, Our Lady asks us today "to understand the greatness of the gift God is giving you through me"--the gift of Medjugorje: the extraordinary graces, the messages which have changed the world, and the gift of her presence among us for so many years.

Application:

The spirit of gratitude is the theme of Mary's message today. In prayer, reflect on the great gifts Our Lady has given us through Medjugorje. Offer the Joyful Mysteries in thanksgiving

Mirjana's Annual March 18, 2010 Message


"Dear children! 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."

 

As Fr Corapi says, "We are at war." 

St Padre Pio said, "Give me my weapon!"

The weapon he was talking about was his Rosary.

 

From St Faustina's Diary #961

961   + This morning after completing my spiritual exercises, I began at once to crochet. I sensed a stillness in my heart; I sensed that Jesus was resting in it. That deep and sweet consciousness of God's presence prompted me to say to the Lord, "O Most Holy Trinity dwelling in my heart, I beg You: grant the grace of conversion to as many souls as the [number of] stitches that I will make today with this crochet hook." Then I heard these words in my soul: My daughter, too great are your demands. "Jesus, You know that for You it is easier to grant much rather than a little."

That is so, it is less difficult for Me to grant a soul much rather than a little, but every conversion of a sinful soul demands sacrifice. "Well, Jesus, I offer You this whole-hearted work of mine; this offering does not seem to me to be too small for such a large number of souls; You know, Jesus, that for thirty years You were saving souls by just this kind of work. And since holy obedience forbids me to perform great penances and mortifications, therefore I ask You, Lord: accept these mere nothings stamped with the seal of obedience as great things." Then I heard a voice in my soul: My dear daughter, I comply with your request.

 

"No more than one visit to the Blessed Sacrament is sometimes necessary to change immediately the dispositions of a heart and to cause the sweetest repose and full contentment to succeed the greatest trouble and sorrow.  Many have approached the Blessed Sacrament languishing and overwhelmed with grief, and have returned replenished with strength, courage, and even alacrity and joy" Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

 

"We are all praying one Hail Mary before Holy Mass to Our Lady of Medjugorje."

Mother Teresa 

People ask me what advice I have for a married couple struggling in their relationship. I always "Pray and forgive".

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May 30 Always be faithful to God in observing the promises you made Him, and pay no attention to the mocking of the foolish. Know that the Saints were always mocked by the world and the worldly, but even so they placed the world and its maxims under their feet. May 31 The field of battle between God and Satan is the human soul. This is where it takes place every moment of our lives.

The soul must give free access to our Lord and be completely fortified by Him with every kind of weapon; His light must illuminate it to fight the darkness of error; he must put on Jesus Christ, His truth and justice, the shield of faith, the word of God to overcome such powerful enemies. To put on Jesus Christ we must die to ourselves.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

That sickening pit in man's soul can be hell!

"Hell - which once was pictured `way down there' - is back again, but now `way in here' in the breast of man. He who was wont in saner days to confess his faults, admit personal guilt, and try to make some amends for both, is induced to become a kind of regurgitating sewer, vomiting the rottenness within; an analysis of the stagnant waters that comes from unconsciousness promises a cure, but it is most cases no more saves than an analysis of the waters of a sinking ship saves the vessel.

The ancient principle of purgation of evil has now become a kind of curiosity in which a mind takes delight in its mental spewing after the fashion of the dog described in Sacred Scripture who `returns again to his vomit' (Proverbs 26: 11)."

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

 O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy-to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out.

 

Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth's exiles! O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, Who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our own power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You: anticipate us with Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death's hour.

 

Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation's enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your children, await Your final coming-that day known to You alone. And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope: Through His merciful Heart, as through an open gate, we pass through to heaven.       (1570)

Know, My daughter, that between Me and you there is a bottomless abyss, an abyss which separates the Creator from the creature. But this abyss is filled with My mercy. I raise you up to Myself, not that I have need of you, but it is solely out of mercy that I grant you the grace of union with Myself.      (1576)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.

 

May 30 - MEMORIAL DAY

In December of 1990, the Blessed Mother spoke of peace:

Dear children , today I invite you to pray especially for peace. Dear children, without peace you cannot experience the birth of the infant Jesus either today nor in your daily lives.

Therefore, pray to the Lord of Peace that he May protect you with his mantle and help you to comprehend the great importance of having peace in your hearts. In this way you will be able to spread peace in hearts around the whole world. I am with you and intercede for you before God.

Pray , for Satan wants to destroy my plans for peace. Be reconciled with one another and, through your lives, help peace to reign over the whole earth. (Monthly Message December 25, 1990).

The psalmist voices a prayer for peace:

Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, And grant us your salvation. Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, For he will speak peace to his people, To his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.

---Psalm 85:7-8

Reflections:

On this Memorial Day, it is appropriate that we have heard Our Lady speak again of peace, for this is the cause for which so many of our countrymen have given their lives. Their courage and sacrifice have led us closer to that time when, as Isaiah says, "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

Application:

In memory and in appreciation of all those who gave their lives for freedom, democracy and peace, let us offer the following prayer today:

Lord Jesus Christ, today we honor the memory of those men and women who have given their lives for America in the cause of freedom. They have worked, fought, and died for the heritage of freedom, brotherhood, and peace that they have passed on to us. In scripture you said to us:

"Greater love than this no man has: that he lay down his life for his friends." We recall that you yourself gave up your life for all people in the cause of true freedom -to save us from sin and selfishness.

As we remember our honored dead, teach us to appreciate the virtue of patriotism-a true and Christian love of country. May we love this Land of the Free and seek to make it a land of goodness, refuge, and equality for all Americans. We place our nation unreservedly in your hands, for in you we hope and trust. Amen.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 29 - WITNESS TO THIS PEACE

 

"All the saints of history . . . have been distinguished for the love of Our Lord in the Eucharist and for Mary . . . .  So there is no canonized saint to whom I cannot cry out with confidence to obtain for me a great love for Mary so that I may borrow her Immaculate Heart to come closer to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord in the Eucharist" (John Haffert).

 

Mother Teresa 

Start and end the day with prayer. Come to God as a child. If you find it hard to pray you can say, "Come Holy Spirit, guide me, protect me, clear out my mind so that I can pray." When you pray, give thanks to God for all His gifts because everything is His and a gift from Him. Your soul is a gift of God.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May 29 Oh God!, let yourself always be heard, more and more, by my poor heart, and accomplish in me the work you have begun. I hear an interior voice which assiduously says to be: Sanctify yourself and others. Well, my dearest, I want to do this, but I don't know where to begin. Help me, you also. I know that Jesus is very fond of you, and you deserve this. Therefore, speak to Him for me, that He might grant me the grace of making me and less unworthy son of St. Francis, so that I can be an example to my confreres, in order that fervour might continue to grow more and more within me, making me have perfect capuchin.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The beast is loose!

"It was not that many years ago that H.G. Wells and others, in their false optimism, were telling us that in a short time we would be as gods, and that happiness would increase with economic prosperity. Religion, for the moment, was regarded as a kind of ambulance which took care of the sick until scientific progress could take over. Now alas, the beast who was evolving to become a god, has suddenly gone berserk before he has become a man."

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

At that moment I saw Jesus, and from His Heart there issued those same two rays, which enveloped me, whole and entire. At the same moment, all my torments vanished. My daughter, the Lord said, know that of yourself you are just what you have gone through, and it is only by My grace that you are a participant of eternal life and all the gifts I lavish on you.

And with these words of the Lord, there came to me a true knowledge of myself. Jesus is giving me a lesson in deep humility and, at the same time, one of total trust in Him. My heart is reduced to dust and ashes, and even if all people were to trample me under their feet, I would still consider that a favor.

I feel and am, in fact, very deeply permeated with the knowledge that I am nothing, so that real humiliations will be a refreshment for me.       (1559)

And at that very moment I saw myself in some kind of a palace; and Jesus gave me His hand, sat me at His side, and said with kindness, My bride, you always please Me by your humility. The greatest misery does not stop Me from uniting Myself to a soul, but where there is pride, I am not there.

When I came to myself, I reflected on what had happened in my heart, thanking God for His love and for the mercy that He had shown me.       (1563)

May 29 - WITNESS TO THIS PEACE

The Blessed Mother speaks of peace today:

Dear children, God has permitted me, in union with him, to found this oasis of peace. I call you to protect it. Through their indifference, some people destroy prayer and peace. And so I beseech you, witness to this peace by your lives, that it May be preserved (Weekly Message June 26, 1986).

And in Isaiah, the Lord promises a covenant of peace

For the mountains May depart, And the hills be removed, But my steadfast love shall not depart from you, And my covenant of peace shall not be removed, Says the Lord, who has compassion on you. --Isaiah 54:10

Reflection:

Sometimes a story of men living peace is more valuable than words about peace. F. H. Drinkwater tells such a story, set in Italy during World War II.

In the mountain village of Giazza, north of Verona, German paratroopers were going to execute some villagers, presumably for showing resistance. The parish priest, Fr. Domenico Mercante, offered himself as a hostage. The German accepted his offer, and decided to shoot him. When the time came, one of the firing-party refused to obey orders. "I can't shoot a priest," he said. He was placed at the priest's side, and both were shot together. The soldier's name is unknown.

Fifteen years later, the Bishop of Verona unveiled a simple white monument commemorating the two heroes.

The German embassy in Rome was represented, and the Italian Minister of Justice gave an address. He said, "The example of a priest and a soldier dying by the same rifle fire, in order that not only the written law but the unwritten law too should be respected, provides an example of great moral value. It gives rise to the hope that the cause for peace May find its strongest protection in the conscience of humble but heroic spirits."

Application:

Jesus and Our Lady both call us to live peace and pray for peace. Today, pray especially for peace, and strive to be a peacemaker this week within your family, at your workplace, and among your friends.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 26- ST. PHILIP NERI

 

"In the Eucharist we have Jesus, we have his redemptive sacrifice, we have his resurrection, we have the gift of the Holy Spirit, we have adoration, obedience and love of the Father"   (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 60).

 

 

St. Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein), wrote, "The Lord is present in the
tabernacle in his divinity and in his humanity.  He is not present for his own sake
but for ours: it is his delight to be with the `children of men.'  He knows,
too, that, being what we are, we need his personal nearness. 

 

 In consequence, every thoughtful and sensitive person will feel attracted and will be there as
often and as long as possible.  And the practice of the Church, which has
instituted perpetual adoration, is just as clear."

 

Mother Teresa-- 
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence - we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.

 

Prayer feeds the soul - as blood is to the body, prayer is the soul - and it brings you closer to God. It also gives you a clean and pure heart. A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -
May 26 Have you ever seen a field of fully ripened grain? You will see that some ears are tall and vigorous; while others are bent to the ground. Try to take the tall one, the most vain, you will see that it is empty; if instead you take the low ones, the most humble, these are laden with grain. From this you can deduce that vanity is empty.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Crosses are easier to bear when we have prepared properly

"Crosses are inescapable. Those who start with self-love have already created for themselves the possibility of millions of other crosses from those who live by the same pride. But those who discipline themselves and tame the ego by little acts of self-denial have already prepared themselves to meet crosses from the outside; they have familiarized themselves with them, and the shock is less when they are thrust on their shoulders."

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

 

Fourth day. O Jesus, I have been feeling extraordinarily well, close to Your Heart, during this retreat. Nothing disturbs the depths of my peace. With one eye, I gaze on the abyss of my misery and with the other, on the abyss of Your mercy.       (1345)

Today, the Lord gave me to know interiorly that He would never abandon me. He gave me to know His majesty and His holiness as well as His love and mercy towards me; and He gave me a deeper knowledge of my own wretchedness. However, this great misery of mine does not deprive me of trust. On the contrary, the better I have come to know my own misery, the stronger has become my trust in God's mercy. I have come to understand how all this depends on the Lord. I know that no one will touch a single hair of my head without His willing it.       (1406)

Lord, although You often make known to me the thunders of Your anger, Your anger vanishes before lowly souls. Although You are great, Lord, You allow yourself to be overcome by a lowly and deeply humble soul. O humility, the most precious of virtues, how few souls possess you! I see only a semblance of this virtue everywhere, but not the virtue itself. Lord, reduce me to nothingness in my own eyes that I may find grace in Yours.       (1436)

May 26 - ST. PHILIP NERI

During a locution to Jelena, the Madonna gave this advice:

Dear children, open your hearts and let Jesus guide you. For many people it seems to be hard, but it is really so easy! You don't have to be afraid because you know that Jesus will never leave you, and you know that he leads you to salvation (Locution Jelena & Marijana August 11, 1986).

The psalmist also speaks of God's guidance:

Then he led out his people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock. He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies, With upright heart he tended them, And guided them with skillful hand. Psalm 78:52-53,72

Reflection:

Since his early youth, St. Philip Neri allowed Christ to guide him with a free hand. Love of others, simplicity of life, and joyous service to God would accurately describe his life and spirit. A priest and friend of the young, Philip also had a great love for the sick and the poor, sharing their lot in order to be close to them in the streets of Rome.

His street ministry also included the unemployed, the homeless, the shopkeepers, and especially wayward young people. He worked to help them improve themselves materially and to appreciate the spiritual as well. After a busy day on the streets, he very often spent the night in prayer.

His spirit of joyful service inspired the priest who joined him in the Congregation of the Oratory, which he founded in 1564. His eye was always of Christ, who he said guided each step of his life. He once wrote:

If you wish for something from Christ, you don not know what you are wishing for. If you long for something apart from Christ, you do not know what you are longing for. If you work apart from Christ, you do not know what you are doing.

Application:

"Open your hearts, "Our Lady says today, "and let Jesus guide you. You don't have to be afraid because you know that Jesus will never leave you." In prayer today, let us open our hearts as the Virgin requests, asking for Christ's guidance during the next twenty-four hours.

Medjugorje Monthly Message of May 25, 2004-

 
Message of May 25, 2004 "Dear children! Also today, I urge you to consecrate yourselves to my Heart and to the Heart of my Son Jesus. Only in this way will you be mine more each day and you will inspire each other all the more to holiness. In this way joy will rule your hearts and you will be carriers of peace and love. Thank you for having responded to my call." 05/2004

 

"Helping Christ carry His cross fills one with a strong and pure joy, and those who may and can do so, the builders of God's kingdom are the most authentic children of God." -- St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

 

Mother Teresa- 

If you are searching for God and do not know where to begin, learn to pray and take the trouble to pray every day. You can pray at work - work doesn't have to stop prayer and prayer doesn't have to stop work. Tell Him everything, talk to Him. He is our father, He is to us all whatever religion we are. We are all created by God, we are his children. We have to put our trust in Him, believe in Him, work for Him. And if we pray, we will get all the answers we need.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May 27 We should make an great effort to become holy, and render great service to God and our neighbor.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen-

We can accept or reject our crosses, but we can't avoid them

"There are only two things we can do with crosses - carry them or kick against them. We can merge them in God's plan for life and thus make them serve our inner peace and happiness, or we can stumble over them to the glen of weeping. Selfishness is the cause of much mental sickness; otherness, sympathy, forgiveness and self-discipline are the cure."

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

O my Jesus, in terrible bitterness and pain,
I yet feel the caress of Your Divine Heart.
Like a good mother, You press me to Your bosom,
And even now You give me to experience what the veil hides.

O my Jesus, in this wilderness and terror which surround me,
My heart still feels the warmth of Your gaze,
Which no storm can blot out from me,
As You give me the assurance of Your great love, O God.

O my Jesus, midst the great miseries of this life,
You shine like a star, O Jesus, protecting me from shipwreck.
And though my miseries be great,
I have great trust in the power of Your mercy.

O hidden Jesus, in the many struggles of my last hour,
May the omnipotence of Your grace be poured out upon my soul,
That at death's moment I may gaze upon You
And see You face to face, as do the chosen in heaven.

O my Jesus, midst the dangers which surround me,
I go through life with a cry of joy, my head raised proudly,
Because against Your Heart so filled with love, O Jesus,
All enemies will be crushed, all darkness dispelled.       (1479)

May 27 - ESPECIALLY YOU, THE YOUNGEST

The following was given to Ivan's prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo in July of 1990:

Dear children, tonight your Mother would like to invite you again to prayer. Especially you, the youngest, who will be here in large numbers during these days. I call you to prayer.

Pray, pray, pray, and renew your hearts so you can accept all that I tell you in my messages. Thank you, dear children, for you make me happy by your prayers (Visionary Prayer Group July 30, 1990).

St. John also affirms the young:

I write to you, children,

Because you know the Father.

I write to you fathers,

Because you know him who is from the beginning.

I write to you, young people,

Because you are strong

And the word of God abides in you,

And you have overcome the evil one.

--1 John 2:14

Reflection:

Two fifteen-year-old boys alarmed onlookers in Norfolk, Virginia, who watched them drift down the forty-foot-deep Elizabeth River on a makeshift raft. It was a 3 X 6 foot mortar box used by brick masons. The Coast Guard finally rescued them as they were floating toward the open ocean in their unseaworthy craft.

Young people are blessed with a daring and adventurous spirit. But it is important that their enthusiasm and resourcefulness be wisely directed. At the same time, great care must be taken not to suppress their spirit and potential.

The Lord himself encouraged his apostles to "launch out into the deep" as fishers of men. But at the same time he made sure they were rooted in divine truth and love. Through prayer and example, we can help young people to be daring in faith and in living the messages of Our Lady.

Application:

In prayer today, call to mind the young people of your family as well as others that you know. Commend them to the Blessed Mother that she May renew their hearts and help them to live her messages. Also today, be especially conscious of your example of faith to the young people around you.

Message of May 25, 2006

"Dear children!
Also today I call you to put into practice and to live my messages that I am giving you. Decide for holiness, little children, and think of heaven. Only in this way, will you have peace in your heart that no one will be able to destroy. Peace is a gift, which God gives you in prayer.


Little children, seek and work with all your strength for peace to win in your hearts and in the world. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Message of May 25, 2005 from Our Lady of Medjugorje-
"Dear children! Anew I call you to live my messages in humility. Especially witness them now when we are approaching the anniversary of my apparitions. Little children, be a sign to those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

This is the business of our life. By labor and prayer to advance in the grace of God, till we come to that height of perfection in which, with clean hearts, we may behold God. -St. Augustine

 

Mother Teresa 

Without prayer I could not work for even half an hour. I get my strength from God through prayer.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May 28 Let us become saints so that after having been together on earth we will be together forever in heaven.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Pride and Prejudice!

"We can set ourselves above others, and feel superior to them in either of two ways: by our knowledge, or by our power; by flaunting what we know, or by using money and influence to make ourselves supreme. Such forms of behavior always spring from pride."

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

 

February 2, [1938]. Darkness of the soul. Today is the Feast of the Mother of God, and in my soul it is so dark. The Lord has hidden Himself, and I am alone, all alone. My mind has become so dimmed that I see only fantasies about me. Not a single ray of light penetrates my soul. I do not understand myself or those who speak to me.

 

Frightful temptations regarding the holy faith assail me. O my Jesus, save me. I cannot say anything more. I cannot describe these things in detail, for I fear lest someone be scandalized on reading this. I am astounded that such torments could befall a soul. O hurricane, what are you doing to the boat of my heart? This storm has lasted the whole day and night.

When Mother Superior [Irene] came in to see me and asked, "Would you like to take advantage of this occasion, Sister, since Father An. [Andrasz] is coming to hear confessions?" I answered, no. It seemed to me that Father would not understand me, nor would I be able to make a confession.

I spent the whole night with Jesus in Gethsemane. From my breast there escaped one continuous moan. A natural dying will be much easier, because then one is in agony and will die; while here, one is in agony, but cannot die. O Jesus, I never thought such suffering could exist. Nothingness: that is the reality.

O Jesus, save me! I believe in You with all my heart. So many times have I seen the radiance of Your face, and now, where are You, Lord?... I believe, I believe, and again I believe in You, Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and in all the truths which Your holy Church gives me to believe... But the darkness does not recede, and my spirit plunges into even greater agony. And at that moment, such terrible torment overwhelmed me that now I am amazed at myself that I did not breathe my last, but this was for only a brief instant.       (1558)

  MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

May 28 - LIVE LOVE

Our Lady speaks of love today:

Dear children, I wish to thank you for all your sacrifices and I also call you to the greatest sacrifice, the sacrifice of love. Without love, you will be unable to accept either me or my Son. Without love, you will not be able to convey your experiences to others. Therefore, dear children, live love within your hearts. (Weekly Message March 27, 1986).

And from St. John's first letter, a famous passage on love:

Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us ( 1 Jn 4:7-12).

Reflection:

Love can do the impossible. The New York Times once ran a story of a crippled woman leaving her crutches and running up a flight of stairs to rescue her 3 year old daughter, when fire threatened to trap the child in an upstairs bedroom. The mother, injured in a car crash 2 years previously, had been unable to walk without crutches ever since the accident. Realizing that the life of her little daughter was at stake, she momentarily forgot her own physical handicap. She rushed to the upper floor, grabbed the sleeping child and carried her to safety.

For most of us, there are times when our capacity to love is obstructed by self-concern, worry, or a flagging faith. In such a case, the Blessed Mother recommends that we surrender these obstacles to her Son and, through prayer, seek the gift of divine love with a sincere heart.

Application:

Today, reflect prayerfully on John's full discourse on love (1 Jn 4:7-21), and then ask the Lord to instill this love within your heart.

Message, 25. May 2010--
"Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but Satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Message of May  25, 2009--
Dear children! In this time, I call you all to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit upon every baptised creature, so that the Holy Spirit may renew you all and lead you on the way of witnessing your faith – you and all those who are far from God and his love. I am with you and intercede for you before the Most High. Thank you for having responded to my call. May 25, 2009

 

Message of May 25, 2007 from Our Lady of Medjugorje--
"Dear children! Pray with me to the Holy Spirit for Him to lead you in the search of God's will on the way of your holiness. And you, who are far from prayer, convert and, in the silence of your heart, seek salvation for your soul and nurture it with prayer. I bless you all individually with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Message of May 25, 2005 from Our Lady of Medjugorje--

"Dear children! Anew I call you to live my messages in humility. Especially witness them now when we are approaching the anniversary of my apparitions. Little children, be a sign to those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

"The Heart of the Immaculate Virgin is an abyss of wonders.  Enter this most pure sanctuary with respect and contemplate an incomparable masterpiece of purity, love, and every virtue.  Mary is a mother.  Her great desire is to clothe all her children with her own virtue for the glory of Jesus.  You have entered into her heart.  Do not leave it.  Remain there and learn from her.  Ask her to embellish your soul according to the divine ideal and in the heart of Mary you will soon come to know the heart of Jesus, the desires of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus" (Bl. Dina Belanger).

 

St. Clare of Assisi, Foundress of Poor Clare Nuns, Italy (1193-1253), Feast, Aug. 11 "I come, O Lord, unto Thy sanctuary to see the life and food of my soul.  As I hope in Thee, O Lord, inspire me with that confidence which brings me to Thy holy mountain.  Permit me, Divine Jesus, to come closer to Thee, that my whole soul may do homage to the greatness of Thy majesty; that my heart, with its tenderest affections, may acknowledge Thine infinite love; that my memory may dwell on the admirable mysteries here renewed every day, and that the sacrifice of my whole being may accompany Thine."

 

Mother Teresa--
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence - we need to listen to God because it's not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters. Prayer feeds the soul - as blood is to the body, prayer is the soul - and it brings you closer to God. It also gives you a clean and pure heart. A clean heart can see God, can speak to God, and can see the love of God in others.

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

Science, my son, for all its greatness in nevertheless a small thing; and less than nothing compared to the formidable mystery of the Divinity. You must take another road. Cleanse your heart of every earthly passion, humble yourself in the dust and pray! In this way you will certainly find God, who will give you peace and serenity in this life and eternal beatitude in the next.

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -
O my Jesus, in thanksgiving for Your many graces, I offer You my body and soul, intellect and will, and all the sentiments of my heart. Through the vows, I have given myself entirely to You; I have then nothing more that I can offer You.

 

Jesus said to me, My daughter, you have not offered Me that which is really yours. I probed deeply into myself and found that I love God with all the faculties of my soul and, unable to see what it was that I had not yet given to the Lord, I asked, "Jesus, tell me what it is, and I will give it to You at once with a generous heart." Jesus said to me with kindness, Daughter, give Me your misery, because it is your exclusive property.

 

At that moment, a ray of light illumined my soul, and I saw the whole abyss of my misery. In that same moment I nestled close to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus with so much trust that even if I had the sins of all the damned weighing on my conscience, I would not have doubted God's mercy but, with a heart crushed to dust, I would have thrown myself into the abyss of Your mercy. I believe, O Jesus, that You would not reject me, but would absolve me through the hand of Your representative.       (1318)

May 25 - A SPRINGTIME MESSAGE

The Madonna speaks today of nature, of love, and of surrender to God:

Dear children, I am calling you to open to God. You see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruit. In the same way, I am calling you to a life with God and complete surrender to him.

Little children, I am with you, and unceasingly I desire to lead you to the joy of life. I desire that each of you discover the joy and the love which is found only in God, and which only God can give.

God wants nothing else from you but your surrender. Therefore, little children, decide seriously for God because everything passes away. God alone does not.

Pray that you May discover the greatness and the joy of life which God is giving you. (Monthly Message May 25, 1989).

The author of Psalm 104 also speaks of the fruits of nature and the joy of life, so loving bestowed by the Father:

You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills, Giving drink to every wild animal;

The wild asses quench their thirst.

O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.

When you send forth your spirit, they are created;

And you renew the face of the ground. ---Psalm 104:10-11;24,30

Reflection:

In this springtime message of Our Lady, she outlines a three-stage journey that she hopes we will make. We begin with "an openness to God," as she says, and so are able to receive the grace and strength we need to actually begin living as followers of Christ. Second, having experienced the power of the Lord in our lives, we are drawn to surrender ourselves more and more to him. And third, in this new relationship of trusting surrender, we gradually discover through prayer "the greatness and the joy of life which God is giving [us]."

How appropriate that the Blessed Virgin chose the springtime to speak of new life in Christ: "You see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruit. In the same way I am calling you to open to God, that I May lead you into the joy of life." May the song of nature inspire us to a greater openness to God, that we too May sing for joy.

Application:

Try to spend some quiet time outdoors today to experience the beauty of God in nature-part of the "joy of life" of which the Virgin speaks

Medjugorje Day By Day May 24 - GIVE TIME TO THE ROSARY

 

"Mary is characterized as the new holy Tent, the living ark of the Covenant.  
Her Yes becomes the place of meeting that offers God a dwelling place in the world" (Pope Benedict XVI).

 

"Thou art blessed amongst women, O Mary, and Blessed is Jesus Eucharistic, the fruit of thy womb!" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

Mother Teresa 

If I had not picked up that first person dying on the street, I would not have picked up the thousands later on.

Padre Pio -

May 24 I confess in the first place, that for me it is a great misfortune to be unable to express and pour out this ever-active volcano which burns me up, and which Jesus has placed in this very small heart. And it can all be summed up as follows: I am consumed by love for God and love for my neighbors.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Real regret is not finding God again after one has lost Him!

"A man refrains from adultery because of the love he has for his wife. This principle of love militates against his carnal desires and, if he falls, pulls him back again to fidelity. So with grace. As St. Paul wrote to the pagan Romans: `I don't understand my own actions, because instead of doing what I want to do I do what I hate. Now if I don't want to do the very thing that I actually do, then I agree with the Law that it is, in fact, good' (Romans 7: 15-16).

That is the point. The very regret one has is an admission that the law of God is right. A child told by his parents not to stick his finger in the fire does so. But he immediately discovers that their law was worthy of all honor. There are two ways of knowing how good God is. One is never to lose Him, the other is to lose Him and find Him again."

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

May 24 - GIVE TIME TO THE ROSARY

Our Lady speaks of a favorite subject today:

I urge you to ask everyone to pray the rosary, With the rosary you will overcome all the troubles which Satan is trying to inflict on the Catholic Church. Let all priests pray the rosary. Give time to the rosary (Special Message June 25, 1985).

St. Paul also speaks of prayer in his letter to the Romans:

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches hearts, knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God (Rom 8:26-27).

Reflection:

Fr. Albert Shamon tells a unique story of the rosary, revolving around Dr. Carlos Finlay, the Cuban physician who discovered that yellow fever and malaria were carried by the mosquito. Returning home one night, exhausted after a long day's work, he remembered that he had not yet said his rosary, which was a daily devotion for him. So he began to pray, sleepy through he was, but he was distracted by a buzzing mosquito flying persistently around his head.

At that moment, as if inspired by the Virgin, the idea occurred to him that it May be the mosquito which transmits yellow fever and malaria. He began to experiment with this theory and proved that it was indeed correct ending a century of research into the cause of these dreaded diseases.

Application:

Today, simply take the advice of Our Lady to heart:

"I urge you to ask everyone to pray the rosary. Give time to the rosary".

Medjugorje Day By Day May 23 - THE HOUR OF SATAN

 

St. Dominic, Priest & Preacher, Founder of Dominicans (1170-1221), Feast,
Aug. 8 It was to St. Dominic that Our Lady gave the Holy Rosary which has become,
next to Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the most powerful prayer in
the Church.

 

Mother Teresa 

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May 23 Do that penance of remembering, with sorrow, your offenses committed against God; the penance of being constantly good, the penance of fighting against your defects.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Grace is the saving factor!

"The good recover peace of soul; the evil have to be satisfied with peace of mind. The explanation of this phenomenon is that the good have another principle of action in them than the evil. The evil are guided solely by the thought either of the satisfaction of the flesh or the spirit and that this world is all.

 But the good have another principle in them, entirely above nature, which is called grace, and by it they are united to God. This principle of grace is always rising up against their sin and generally triumphs over it with the slightest cooperation of the will."

Jesus: My daughter, do you think you have written enough about My mercy? What you have written is but a drop compared to the ocean. I am Love and Mercy itself. There is no misery that could be a match for My mercy, neither will misery exhaust it, because as it is being granted-it increases. The soul that trusts in My mercy is most fortunate, because I myself take care of it.      (1273)

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

 

May 23 - THE HOUR OF SATAN

Our Lady gives us a somber message today:

The hour has come when the demon is authorized to act with all his force and power. The present hour is the hour of Satan (First Years 84-85).

As we see in scripture, evil often attacks those dearest to the Lord:

When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he was infuriated, and he sent [for] and killed all the children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had learned from the wise men (Mt 2:16).

Reflection:

"This is the hour of Satan," Our Lady warns us. Certainly he has held sway over the last century, which can claim two devastating world wars, the Nazi holocaust, the agonizing rise and spread of Communism, and the wars in Korea, Asia, and the Middle East, to mention only several. It has been the bloodiest century of mankind's history, despite its scientific and material progress.

The hour of Satan also speaks of his relentless attacks on the individual, including the explosion of addictive diseases, thoughtless materialism, an unprecedented crime rate, AIDS, a skyrocketing divorce rate, and an array of other tragedies.

The Blessed Mother wants us to know what we are battling, that Satan attacks the weakest link in both society and the individual, and that his ultimate goal is simply destruction. But she also gives us the weapons to fight the Evil One: conversion, faith, and prayer, the sacraments, and the rosary. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Application:

The power of Satan has peaked. Since our chief weapon in his demise is prayer, let us add this to our daily prayer intentions, beginning today.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 22 - CONSECRATE YOURSELVES TO THE CROSS

 

"St. Gregory Nazianzen coined a formula which applies directly to the Word
Incarnate dwelling among us sacramentally: 'Eternal Wisdom became man in our midst in order to say to every one of us: 'Go to the Trinity!'" (Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).

 

Mother Teresa -

Peace begins with a smile

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May 22 You are not unaware of the fact that I desired to die and love God; either death of love, given that life without this love is worse than death. Oh my daughter, help me! I am dying and in agony at all times. Everything seems to be a dream to me, and I don't know where I am wandering. Dear God! When will the time come can when I, too, can sing: "Is this my rest, oh God in eternity?"

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

No wonder psychology is such a booming business!

"In the good soul, the effect of doing evil can lead to moral understanding and being repentant. In the evil soul, the effect is physical and psychological. It shows less in the soul and more in the mind and the body. The moral effect is sorrow, contrition, repentance, which leads to a restoration of fellowship with God and therefore peace.

 The physical and psychological effect is anxiety, fear, worry, psychoses and neuroses. The good take to their knees when they do wrong; the evil, if they have money enough, betake themselves to a couch. The good want their sins forgiven; the evil want them explained away."

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

   My Jesus, support me when difficult and stormy days come, days of testing, days of ordeal, when suffering and fatigue begin to oppress my body and my soul. Sustain me, Jesus, and give me strength to bear suffering. Set a guard upon my lips that they may address no word of complaint to creatures. Your most merciful Heart is all my hope. I have nothing for my defense but only Your mercy; in it lies all my trust.       (1065)

Although the temptations are strong, a whole wave of doubts beats against my soul, and discouragement stands by, ready to enter into the act, the Lord, however, strengthens my will, against which all the attempts of the enemy are shattered as if against a rock. I see how many actual graces God grants me; these support me ceaselessly. I am very weak, and I attribute everything solely to the grace of God.       (1086)

 MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY -

May 22 - CONSECRATE YOURSELVES TO THE CROSS

The Virgin speaks of the cross today:

Pray before the cross, for special graces come from it. Consecrate yourselves to the cross and do not blaspheme either Jesus or the cross. (Special Message June 29,1986).

And from Luke's gospel, Christ gives his life for us upon the cross:

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last. (Lk 23 :44-46).

Reflection:

Darkness covered the whole land for three hours at midday. All nature seemed to mourn over the stark tragedy of the death of the Son of God. In the midst of this darkness, the curtain in the Temple, separating the Holy of Holies from the holy place, was torn in two, an event which symbolized the meaning of the cross.

The Temple had 3 parts: the courtyard area the holy place, where only priests could enter; and the Holy of Holies, where the high priest alone could enter once a year to atone for the sins of the people.

It was in the Holy of Holies that The Ark of the Covenant, the symbol of God's presence, rested. The curtain that split was the one that closed off the Holy of Holies form view. At Christ's death, the barrier between God and man was torn apart. Now all people are able to approach God directly through Christ.

Application:

Our Lady asks us to, "Pray before the cross. Consecrate yourselves to the cross." Today, with a crucifix in your hands, make this consecration

Medjugorje Day By Day May 21 - CHANGE YOUR HEARTS

 

"Today I am suffering; I need beneficent balsam to heal the  wounds of my soul; and Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is the precious balm poured forth upon them" (Fr. Hermann Cohen).

 

 "To attract souls and transform them into Himself through love, Christ has revealed His own infinite love, His own Heart inflamed by love for souls, a love that impelled Him to mount the Cross, to remain with us in the Eucharist and to enter our souls and to leave us in testament His own Mother as our Mother" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).

 

Mother Teresa - 

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

May 21 Do your best to conform always and in everything to the will of God, in all eventualities, and do not fear. This is the sure path to heaven.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

We don't know how good we have it until we lose it!

"Picture two men married to two old shrews. One man was married before to a beautiful, wise, devoted wife who died. The other was never married before. Which of the two suffers more? Obviously, the man who once knew love and happiness. So it is with doing evil. He who has known the inner peace of soul that comes from union with God undergoes greater agony and torture in his sin than the one who never was ushered into such treasures. The rich who become poor suffer more than the poor who never were rich. The soul which offends God Whom he loves suffers more than the soul who willed not to have God in his life

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

  Today, Jesus entered my room wearing a bright robe and girded with a golden belt, His whole figure resplendent with great majesty. He said, My daughter, why are you giving in to thoughts of fear? I answered, "O Lord, You know why." And He said, Why? "This work frightens me. You know that I am incapable of carrying it out." And He said, Why? "You see very well that I am not in good health, that I have no education, that I have no money, that I am an abyss of misery, that I fear contacts with people. Jesus, I desire only You. You can release me from this."

 

And the Lord said to me, My daughter, what you have said is true. You are very miserable, and it pleased Me to carry out this work of mercy precisely through you who are nothing but misery itself. Do not fear; I will not leave you alone. Do whatever you can in this matter; I will accomplish everything that is lacking in you. You know what is within your power to do; do that. The Lord looked into the depth of my being with great kindness; I thought I would die for joy under that gaze.

 

The Lord disappeared, and joy, strength and power to act remained in my soul. But I was surprised that the Lord did not want to release me and that He is not changing anything He has once said. And despite all these joys, there is always a shadow of sorrow. I see that love and sorrow go hand in hand.       (881)

May 21 - CHANGE YOUR HEARTS

The Mother of God speaks of conversion today:

Dear Children, today I ask you to begin working on your hearts as you have been working in the fields. Work and change your hearts so that the new Spirit of God can dwell in them (Weekly Message April 25, 1985).

Christ speaks of conversion as a "new birth" through water and the Spirit:

Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above."

Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit." (Jn3:3-6).

Reflection:

What did Nicodemus know about the kingdom? From scripture he knew it would be ruled by God, it would be restored on earth, and it would incorporate God's people. Christ revealed to this devout Pharisee that the kingdom would come to the whole world, not just to the Jews, and that Nicodemus would not be a part of it unless he was personally born again. This was a revolutionary concept; the kingdom was personal, not national or ethnic, and its entrance requirements were conversion and spiritual rebirth.

Christ also taught that God's kingdom had already begun in the hearts of believers through the presence of the Holy Spirit. It will be fully realized when he returns again and abolishes evil forever.

Application:

Today Our Lady calls us to: "Work and change your hearts so that the new Spirit of God can dwell in them," Let us pray for the insight and grace to do just that.

Message 25. April 2010-
"Dear children! At this time, when in a special way you are praying and seeking my intercession, I call you, little children, to pray so that through your prayers I can help you to have all the more hearts be opened to my messages. Pray for my intentions. I am with you and I intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Our Lady said she needs us,  Needs our prayers.

Mirjana's Annual March 18, 2010 Message
"Dear children! 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."

"Since its founding by Jesus Christ two thousand years ago, the Universal Church's  preeminent concern has been the salvation of souls. In that long span of twenty centuries, an uninterrupted stream of immeasurable graces have flowed from its Sacraments and sacramentals.  The lions share of these graces can be attributed to the 'Two Solid Columns,' the Blessed Sacrament and the Holy Rosary" (The Eucharist and The Rosary: The Power to Change the World).

 

Mother Teresa -

The poor are Christ Himself.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Jesus who reigned in heaven with His most holy humanity received from the womb of the Virgin, wanted his mother to be reunited to Him not only with her soul but also with her body and share fully in His glory. And that was right and the just. That body that was not as slave of the devil and sin for one instant was not to be as slave of corruption either.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen-

We can contradict contradictions by clinging to our crosses. -

"Crosses and contradictions are a part of life. We are to expect them from others simply because they are often as unregenerate as ourselves. Contradictions from others will hurt us less when we have first contradicted ourselves. The hand that is calloused will not pain as much as a soft hand, on catching a hard ball. Contradictions can even be assimilated and used for further taming our own errant impulses."

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

 

Today during Holy Mass, I was unwittingly absorbed in the infinite majesty of God. The whole immensity of God's love flooded my soul. At that particular moment, I became aware of how much God abases himself for my sake. He, the Lord of Lords-and what am I, miserable being that I am, that You would commune thus with me? The wonder that took hold of me after this special grace continued very vividly throughout the entire day.

Taking advantage of the intimacy to which the Lord was admitting me, I interceded before Him for the whole world. At such moments I have the feeling that the whole world is depending on me.       (870)

My Master, cause my heart never to expect help from anyone, but I will always strive to bring assistance, consolation, and all manner of relief to others. My heart is always open to the sufferings of others; and I will not close my heart to the sufferings of others, even though because of this I have been scornfully nicknamed "dump"; that is, [because] everyone dumps his pain into my heart.

[To this] I answered that everyone has a place in my heart and I, in return, have a place in the Heart of Jesus. Taunts regarding the law of love will not narrow my heart. My soul is always sensitive on this point, and Jesus alone is the motive for my love of neighbor.       (871)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY-

These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.

 

May 20 - TESTIFY WITH YOUR LIVES

In May of 1991, Our Lady called us to live her messages as an example to others:

Dear children, to those who have heard my message of peace, I ask that you take it seriously and live it lovingly in your life. There are many who think they are doing a lot by simply talking about the messages, but are not actually living them. Dear children, I invite you to life, to change all the negativism in you to the positive.

Dear children, I am with you and I want to help each of you to live so as to testify with your lives to the Good News. I am here, dear children, to help you and to lead you to heaven; the joy of heaven can be lived even now on earth. (Monthly Message May 25, 1991).

Paul urges us as well to be examples of the Christian faith:

Show yourself in all respects a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity, and sound speech that cannot be censured; then any opponent will be put to shame, having nothing evil to day of us (Ti 2:7-8).

Reflection:

Our readings today reflect an ancient truth of Christianity-that it is normally by example, not words, that the faith spreads. In this vein, the 19th Century English novelist Charles Kingsley once wrote:

One good man - one man who does not put on his religion once a week with his Sunday suit, but wears it for his working dress, and lets the thought of God grow into him, and through and through him, till everything he says and does becomes religious-that man is worth a thousand sermons. He is a living gospel-he is the Image of God.

Application:

In her message today, the Madonna states that, "I want to help each of you to live so as to testify with your lives to the Good News." Ask Our Lady's help today in doing just that.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 19 - PUT GOD FIRST IN YOUR FAMILIES

 

"The Eucharist came from the Paradise of Virginity [Our Lady]" (St. Albert the Great).

 

Mother Teresa 

Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately it is not fashionable to talk with them.


Meditations by Padre Pio -

After Jesus Christ's ascension to heaven, Mary longed continually with burning desire to be reunited with Him. To be without her divine Son was a very harsh exile. Those years of separation from Him were for her a most slow and painful martyrdom of love that consumed her slowly.


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

We can't be perfect all the time!

"The good sometimes do wrong. Let us face it. And when they do wrong it is not the same as the evil who do wrong. Evil is an exception in the life of the good; it cuts across the long road of their life as a tangent. But with the evil, good is an exception. A master pianist may hit a wrong note, but everyone still knows him to be a good pianist. A beginner may hit a right note, but everyone knows that he is not a good player."


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

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)

O inexhaustible spring of Divine Mercy, pour yourself out upon us! Your Goodness knows no limits. Confirm, O Lord, the power of Your mercy over the abyss of my misery, for You have no limit to Your mercies. Wonderful and matchless is Your mercy, astonishing the human and angelic mind.       (819)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.

 

May 19 - PUT GOD FIRST IN YOUR FAMILIES

In December of 1991, the Blessed Mother spoke of love and the family:

Dear children, today in a special way I bring the infant Jesus to you, that he May bless you with peace and love. Dear children, do not forget that this is a grace which many people do not understand or accept.

Therefore, all of you who have said that you are mine and seek my help, give your entire self. First, be an example in your own families and give them your love. Since you say that Christmas is a family feast, then, dear children, put God first in your families; then he can give you peace and protect you not only from war, but also from Satan's attacks during peacetime.

When God is with you, you have everything. But when you do not want him, you are miserable and lost, for you do not know whose side you are on. And so, dear children, decide for God and then you will have everything. (Monthly Message December 25, 1991).

In Matthew's gospel, Jesus also spoke of the family.

Specifically, of marital fidelity and oneness:

He answered, "Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning `made them male and female,' and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mt 19:4-6)

Reflection:

"Success in marriage," wrote B.R. Brickner, "is more than finding the right person: it is a matter of being the right person."

The sacrament of marriage received special treatment from the fathers of Vatican II; some of the thoughts expressed were quite beautiful, including the following:

Authentic married love is caught up into divine love, and is governed and enriched by Christ's redeeming love.

Such love, merging the human with the divine, leads the spouses to a free and mutual gift of themselves, a gift proving itself by gentle affection and by deed. Such love pervades the whole of their lives. Indeed, by its generous activity, it grows better and grows better and grows greater.

Sealed by mutual faithfulness and hallowed above all by Christ's sacrament, this love remains steadfastly true in body and in mind, in bright days or dark. (The Church Today, 48-49).Application: 

Today, pray especially for married couples and, if you are married, for your spouse. This evening, offer a prayer together for God's continued blessings on your family.

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.

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of all, I consecrate myself to You, O' Eternal Father, as one of Your faithful remnant. Behold, I come to do Your Will. With the help of Your Grace, I will keep Your Commandments. I will love and reverence You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will love my neighbor as You love me.


I make this Consecration through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Your beloved Son, Jesus.


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez May 5, 2010


May 5, 2010 St. Bruno’s Church, San Bruno, CA


Dear little children, Praised be Jesus!


I come this night to ask you to put into practice the 10 commandments.


Those who put into practice the 10 commandments please God very much. Those who put into practice the 10 commandments are like a star in the firmament which illumines the darkness. He who puts into practice the 10 commandments is like a beautiful flower which gives glory to God with its best perfume.


He who puts into practice the 10 commandments is like a rainbow which adorns the heavens with its most beautiful colors. He who puts into practice the 10 commandments loves God and God loves him.


On the other hand, he who does not put into practice the 10 commandments is like a wanderer who wanders [goes] everywhere without knowing where to go. He who does not put into practice the 10 commandments displeases God very much.


He who does not put into practice the 10 commandments is like a blind person who walks in the darkness. He who does not put into practice the 10 commandments is disobedient and in his disobedience lives in the darkness of sin.


My little ones, be obedient. Live in the light. Please God by putting into practice His commandments for it is by means of His 10 commandments that you open the door to holiness and to the salvation of your souls.


I love you and I love you with such a great love that if you were to discover it, you would die out of joy. I give you my motherly blessing and I leave you protected under my mantle of love. I bless my beloved priests and deacon and I carry them within my Immaculate Heart. Thank you for having accepted my message of this night.


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

Message Thru Lec May 14, 2010


6:50 A.M.


Son, I chose you to convey a message which I want you to write today. I speak to you not to upset your sense of peace and well being but only to give a few reminders. I wish however to emphasize the urgent need to keep your soul if possible in a continuing state when at any moment you are prepared to ascend to your place which I desire for you and all the others who are already marked to MEET MY SON JESUS IN THE AIR.


I do not want to say whether that MEETING will take place so soon or maybe delayed but what I desire most is for all those who listen to keep themselves pure in thoughts, words and deeds so that there will be no more hindrance in the fulfillment of THE PLAN I HAVE LAID OUT LONG TIME AGO FOR THE FAITHFUL ONES.


Be the wise virgins who have kept vigil for their master’s coming. You do not know the day nor the hour when your Savior whom I will send to fetch the faithful ones to escape devastation never heard of before and will never be again.


Take heed, your redemption is near!

Ascension Thursday


Today I went to the Noon Mass at our parish and made small offerings to Jesus and Holy Mother Maryam. I prayed for all with special needs and intentions. After receiving Holy Communion, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus and prayed, “Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens.” Soon Jesus spoke to me briefly and His words were of a personal nature and not meant to be shared at this time.


Message Thru Marie - May 12, 2010


May 12, 6:15am glorious mysteries


Jesus: I call all my apostles of these latter days:
Apostles of the Luminous Cross
Apostles of the Holy Eucharist
Apostles of Divine Mercy
Apostles of the Holy Family
Apostles of the Holy Trinity
Apostles of the Immaculate Heart of Holy Mother Maryam
Apostles of Perpetual Adoration
Apostles of our Lady of Guadalupe
Apostles of our Lady of Fatima
Apostles of our Lady of Mejugorge
Apostles, I love you immeasurably
I trust you to bring in the reign of My and My Mother's Hearts Apostles, now is the time
Arise and fulfill your mission
Sacrifice yourself before my altar
With your pleas for your fellowmen
may graces flow and heal the indifference that
many are plagued with.
Many of my sheep have hardened their hearts over time.
How can I enter and heal them?
Hence my apostles of these times
reflect the love that dwells within
reflect the hope that infinitely springs forth
from my Divine Heart
reflect the humility born from the cross of
humiliation, scorn and abandonment
reflect your center that is I.
As you arise, you shall awaken all around you.
Your circle of influence shall spread, grow and multiply.
(Now it is in my native tongue- first time for me)

My child, the day is coming when My people will look out upon the horizon and beneath their feet the earth will begin to tremble. My faithful will be full of joy because they know the end of the battle is near and for those who have failed to take heed to My words of warning they will fall to their knees seeking to repent but for some the time will have come to pass.


Behold these times My children for the times of prosperity have come to pass. I say to you who are My faithful? For even those who preach from the pulpit have fallen to the ways of the world. Who are My faithful? Who come to the foot of the cross in great humility to surrender to the will of My Father. Who are My faithful? They are the few who stand outside of the crowd and not with the crowd. Those who endure till the end and who love in the way of their Savior. Those who do not place walls around their heart but rather choose to place themselves in the state of vulnerability that is too love.


I call you My children to surrender your pride, surrender your desires of great fortune, surrender your pleasures for this life and immerse yourselves in My Divine love, Divine Mercy and you will then find eternity for I am your eternity for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will prevail.


5/9/10 3:10 PM


My child, everything has an appointed time and place for all of creation was created for a Divine purpose in the Divine plan. I call out to My children to a time of obedience. There is obedience to My Commandments and from that comes obedience to My mercy. You will come to understand that obedience to My mercy is when the soul places his full trust in Me. Time is passing My children for I am here, I am with you and you will draw strength from Me in the Eucharist. It is not necessary for you to starve your body and soul My children for I am Jesus fully present in the Eucharist.


Come to Me and prepare your soul for the time of cleansing is near for the wrath of My Father is soon to fall upon mankind and still so few are prepared. Now go forth for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

L. began to receive a message from God the Father and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other various prayers of testing the spirits) God the Father then spoke, "HURRICANE SEASON IS UPON YOU. WITH IT WILL COME EXCESSIVELY POWERFUL WINDS AND DEVASTATING RAINS.THESE WILL BE DEADLY STORMS!"


Note: PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! AS WE ALL KNOW THAT PRAYER CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS..AND EVEN MITIGATE MUCH AND SOMETIMES EVEN COMPLETELY CHANGE THE FUTURE..


Message to Louise May 8, 2010


SUPERCRITICALLY URGENT Message via L., V+J MAY 8, 2010 GOD THE FATHER


L. began to hear God the Father speak and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other numerous prayers of testing the spirits)


Then your God spoke," From pole to pole the earth is preparing for a GREAT destruction! All is in readiness! All will be according to My Divine Will. I will destroy! I will purge, purify, cleansing the earth of ALL SIN! YOU WILL SEE YOUR SINS AS I DO! Prepare for the worse! Only through prayer, contrite sorrow for your sins can you return to Me. The HOUR IS NOW! AMEN! I, YOUR GOD HAVE SPOKEN!"


Note: AGAIN AS ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS TIMING IS NOT OUR TIMING AND THIS COULD BE IN MOMENTS OR DAYS, MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS. (ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING CERTAINLY SEEMS CLOSE BECAUSE SO MUCH OF WHAT IS BEING GIVEN IS HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY NOW.)


WE MUST REMEMBER NEVER TO PANIC BUT ALWAYS REMAIN AT TOTAL PEACE WITH COMPLETE TRUST AND TOTAL FAITH NO MATTER WHAT WE SEE OR HEAR. ALSO WE MUST PRAY FOR THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT CONSTANTLY EVEN MORE SO NOW.


LOOK AT THE VOLCANOES AND QUAKES CONTINUALLY ERUPTING NOW..LETTUCE HAS BEEN RECALLED AGAIN IN 26 OR 27 STATES.


IN JMJ mk


for those who do not believe God the Father and Jesus' and Heaven's warnings of preparation that are mercy we can only pray for at this point. They will see in the future that they were true and wished that they would have listened. How do you ignore His Voice.


So sad. Keep an eye on the quakes because they really are increasing now..Icelandic volcano is now much greater even. Indonesia had 7.4 yesterday and so many others in key places again.

MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


HOW HAPPY I AM THAT YOU COME TOGETHER TODAY. MY HEART IS WARMED BY YOUR LOVE AND FIDELITY, AND AS A MOTHER, YOUR MOTHER, I LONG TO HOLD YOU THERE.


OH MY CHILDREN, I DESIRE TO BRING COMFORT TO YOUR HEARTS. HOW YOU SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE SINS OF THE WORLD, BUT MOST ESPECIALLY FOR THE SINS OF OUR PRIESTS, WHO CAUSE SUCH SCANDAL TO THE HOLY CHURCH. MY SON SUFFERS EXTREMLY BECAUSE OF SUCH DISLOYALTY AND SUCH DISGRACEFUL ACTIONS. BUT HIS SUFFERING WILL NOT BE IN VAIN, BECAUSE AS HE IS CONTINUALLY CRUCIFIED, SO IT IS THAT THOSE VERY SINS SHALL BE FORGIVEN AND MERCY EXTENDED TO THE REPENTANT SOUL. LOOK ALWAYS AT MY SON. KEEP FOCUSED ON HIM. HIS GREAT LOVE SPILLS OUT TO YOU AND YOUR SORROWS WILL TURN INTO JOY. YOU HAVE BEEN PROMISED A NEW TIME - IT SHALL BE YOURS DEAR CHILDREN. EACH YEAR PASSES AND YOU PONDER ON HOW MANY MORE YOU WILL ENGAGE. I TELL YOU THAT WHAT IS YOURS WILL BE YOURS AND YOU SHALL REAP FOR ALL OF ETERNITY. THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH SHALL BECOME REALITY AND YOU SHALL AWAKEN TO ITS SPLENDOR. LIGHT SHALL FILL ALL SPACE AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE SORROW OR PAIN. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A NEW TIME AND JESUS WILL BE WITH YOU. YOU WILL NOT WANDER ABOUT AS THOUGH IN A DESERT, BUT WILL CLING TO MY SON AND JOY WILL BE IN YOU AND ABOUT YOU. NO MORE TEARS, NO MORE SORROW. YOU WILL BE WITH JESUS FROM THE MOMENT OF HIS DIVINE ACT OF MERCY. RECALL DEAR CHILDREN, THAT I TOLD YOU THAT JESUS WILL KNOW YOU AND EXTEND HIS ARMS OUT TO WELCOME YOU TO STAND AT HIS SIDE. YOUR EYES SHALL BE FIXED UPON HIM AND THERE WILL BE AN OCEAN OF GOD?S LOVE TO EMBRACE YOU. OH MY CHILDREN, CONCENTRATE ON THESE WORDS AND LET JOY OVERPOWER THE SORROW YOU HAVE NOW. LITTLE ONES, YOU MUST BE READY. YOU MUST BE PREPARED. SO MANY WHO FORM THE UNITY WILL LOOK TO YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. I TELL YOU THAT YOU WILL GUIDE THEM IN ACCORDANCE TO GOD?S HOLY WILL, AND THEY TOO SHALL ENTER THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. WHAT CELEBRATION OF LOVE SHALL TRANSPIRE. WHAT JOY THERE WILL BE. YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO LEAD OTHERS TO THIS DAY OF RECKONING AND TO THIS DAY OF HAPPINESS. MY LOVES, YOU ALL HAVE MUCH TO DEAL WITH. YOU EXPERIENCE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ANGUISH. YOUR BODIES GROW PAINFUL AND YOUR HEARTS FEEL THE STING OF THE ONES YOU LOVE SO DEARLY. BUT YOU NEED NOT WORRY FOR ANY OF IT. ALL WILL BE RENEWED AND YOU WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR OFFERINGS OF SORROW, PAIN, AND EMOTIONAL STRESS, BECAUSE YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THESE THINGS TO KNOW THE JOY AWAITING YOU. BE STRONG NOW. YOU STILL HAVE MUCH AHEAD. BUT YOU HAVE THE GRACE YOU NEED TO ENDURE WHAT YOU MUST FOR JESUS? SAKE. OH MY CHILDREN, MY CHILDREN, HOW BLESSED YOU ARE. YOU WHO ARE SO LITTLE, SO INSIGNIFICANT TO THE WORLD, WILL BE THE ONES TO HELP CHANGE IT. AND THEN WHEN ALL HAS BEEN DONE AND JESUS HAS RELEASED HIS OCEAN OF MERCY, THE OLD SHALL PASS AWAY AND THERE SHALL BE THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. THERE STILL REMAINS MUCH TREMBLING AND HEAVINESS TO BEFALL THE WORLD. MAN HAS NOT YET TURNED TO GOD. THIS IS NOT TO BE LASTING. THEY WILL RECOGNIZE HIM AND THEY WILL DECIDE FOR HIM OR NOT. PRAY THAT ALL WILL COME TO HIM, BUT PRIDE BLINDS AND THOUGH WE HOPE FOR IT, WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME WILL BE LOST. CONTINUE TO PRAY. PRAY WITH DEEP INTENT AND REMAIN EVER CONFIDENT IN THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS AND IN THIS IMMACULATE HEART OF YOUR MOTHER. I GIVE NOW THE SENTIMENTS OF MY HEART. I HAVE FAVORED YOU WITH MUCH. I HAVE PLEADED FOR YOU AND HAVE WON YOU FOR MY OWN. EACH TIME I LOOK UPON YOU, MY HEART SWELLS WITH LOVE AND I DRAW YOU DEEPER WITHIN IT. YOU HAVE VISITED THE DEEPEST PART OF MY HEART, IT IS THAT PLACE OF RESERVE. MANY TIMES I HOLD YOU THERE, PROTECTING YOU FROM THE WOLVES, AND THOSE WITH EVIL HEARTS. I TELL YOU THIS BECAUSE IN THE DAYS AHEAD YOU MUST NOT FALTER. I AM YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL BE WITH YOU IN EVERY ENDEAVOR. YOU WILL DO NOTHING ON YOUR OWN. I WILL WALK WITH YOU AND WITH EVERY STEP YOU TAKE I SHALL BE IN YOUR SHADOW. WHEN YOU ARE IN NEED I SHALL CALL OUT TO THE HOLY SPIRIT TO ENLIGHTEN YOU AND THE FATHER TO HELP YOU. OH MY CHILDREN HOW BLESSED YOU ARE. HOW LOVED YOU ARE - MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN.


COME NOW, I?VE CALLED YOU TO RESIDE IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART. AS I GREET YOU THERE AND ENCLOSE YOU WITHIN, I GIVE TO YOU A SPECIAL BLESSING. WITH APPROVAL OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT I TOUCH EACH OF YOU BESTOWING UPON YOU GREAT GIFTS OF GRACE. I DO THIS FOR YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


ALL OF HEAVEN NOW REJOICES AND YOU ARE MADE READY FOR TOMORROW.

May 6, Thu, 7 am Luminous mysteries


At first luminous mystery:


Jesus: All must renew their baptism. Go now have yourselves blessed by a priest. Do not wait until the warning For by then, the demons will attack you repeatedly and you may fall from the faith. Renew your baptismal vows now Use Holy water. Pledge to me Your Faith in Me.


Me: I'll try but Lord, the priest only offers confession or mass usually- I'll ask father O.


Jesus; These are not usual times. Trust Me. I will pour out my strength upon you You must alight in my Light. Fight the Good Fight Hope when all seems lost. Continue to pray and trust.


(I paused because I asked to slow the flow so I can take it down in paper)


Jesus: When you fall from the weight of your cross, will you cast it aside and walk away? Me: I'll trust in you, Alight in your light. Fight the good fight. Hope. Pray, Trust.


Jesus: When your loved one suffers unbearably, your prayers seem to go unanswered, you are reaching breaking point, will you give up and leave me? Me: I'll trust in You. Alight in your Light. Fight the Good Fight. Hope, Pray Continue to trust.


Jesus: When situations get worse, more divisions, hate abounds, disharmony reaches its peak, brothers against brother, children against parents, murders unheard of, crimes so violent, will you leave me ? Me: I'll trust in You. Alight in your Light. Fight the good fight. Hope, pray, continue to Trust.


Jesus: When discouragement sets in, My church is eclipsed, darkness sets in, My priests scatter, will you turn away from me, will you leave me, will you lose hope? Me: I'll trust in you. Alight in your light. Fight the good fight. Hope, pray and continue to trust.


Jesus: Hold on to me, Hold on to your mother. For the waves will get stronger, do not let go of us. Trust Us. Give us everything. Pray and fight the Good fight. Fight for God. Pause and I continued my rosary


On the 4th luminous mystery: transfiguration


Jesus: For my reapers, Listen, those who can hear me. Just as I transfigured and the Light that I am showed before my disciples, prior to my Passion, So too will you, my apostles of these latter days transfigure in My Light prior to your passion. The only way back to the Father is to carry your cross. Embed every command I give you (Trust, Alight, Fight the Good Fight, etc) for you comprise my Church Militant. As your cross gets heavier, ask help from your 'Simeon's' As your scourges intensify, unite in prayer. If you are ready to give up, abandon yourselves to the care of Myself and My Mother. Take your positions. The battle will begin in earnest. Fear not. Pray! Hope! Hang on to Us! Stay in the Circle. Pray in the Circle Strengthen yourselves in the Circle. Me: Lord, I ask you to bless me for I'm a bit scared of this message and that I'm not the right one for the task. But I do this in obedience to your Will.


Message Thru Marie - May 11,2010


May 11, Tuesday, sorrowful mysteries 7:30 am


Jesus: For over 2000 years, I have established this link - Peter My rock, and through all my consecrated priest sons, I have fed my sheep with my own flesh and blood. I it is who transforms, the bread into my Sacred Heart. I it is who makes of Myself available to all my sheep. This link that I have established no man can break. Yet my enemy gathers in darkness, the darkness grows and soon he will break this link. But before this time, I have readied my true apostles to avail of my tender mercy. I have revealed to you my Divine Mercy so when the new false church rises you shall know it is built on sand.


This church will exclude my presence yet espouse love, peace and unity. This church will be taught not to utter my Name, hence a time of great sorrow for how can I feed my sheep?


Hold on to my Divine Mercy in these times. The time is late. The enemy is about to sever this link.


Church militant prepare Church victorious shall be on hand to help you Church suffering shall also suffer for you and with you.


Me: Lord, we Filipinos hold true to the faith, trust in you, go to mass every Sunday. We also love Mama Holy Mother Maryam so much. I can't imagine how this will happen here. Perhaps you will take mercy on us and not allow this to happen here. Please Lord, we still have many true priests here consecrated to you. Preserve them and us from this darkness. I beg you to have mercy on us.


Jesus: I will never leave you. For you have stayed faithful and true to my Word. I will grant you sweetness in the most bitter days of the Church's passion - this I do through my Divine Mercy. Pray the chaplet to my Divine Mercy. It is true, my mother has found her home in the humble abode of my children's hearts here. Because of this, because you have consecrated to My and My Mother's hearts, I shall protect my own in times of catastrophe and darkness.


But hurry to convert souls, hurry and convert as many as you can reach out to.


Tell my precious daughter (A..) that I was least effective in healing in my own town of Nazareth. Do not be surprised or hurt at M's rejection of your gift of healing - you have a gift of healing the soul. Many shall receive this gift as I pour it in torrents now, in the latter days. Many are in need of healing so I entrust this gift to my apostles. Since you wear the crown of humility, you know it is not you but Me working in you.


The harvest is plenty and you must go to other towns. Delay not in reaching out to others. Tell them to repent now and convert. Hurry, touch souls. Pray for hardened hearts. Worry not for fear of being rejected or mocked, humiliated in my Name. No one can be greater than their Master and am I not your Master? Delay not in reaching out to others.

May 10, 2010 election day - Joyful and sorrowful mysteries 7:20 am


BABYLON


Jesus: Recall Babylon, my people built a tower of pride, so I struck this down, and have divided the men (tongues of men) since then. The division continues.


Babylon has since sprouted up everywhere as men's pride reach their summit.


Watch as I topple it down one last time. We approach the latter days. After the great fire of my purification, you shall be united in one tongue for you shall be united with one Heart, My Heart.


Your hearts shall be purified by the trials of fire which I, through My Mother, shall give you the grace to embrace. It shall be bitter though sweetened by our grace. Be patient a while longer for your suffering shall last a while longer. Later when you bear the fruits of this suffering, you shall not even utter a complaint of your cross. Follow my Mother, she is Queen of the Cross. Submit to the cross.


Me: I was called to recall the life of our national hero, Ninoy Aquino - who was assassinated when he came back to our country ( he willingly returned knowing he would be killed)


Jesus: My son Ninoy grew in faith, his pride purified, his life transformed as he patiently suffered for years while imprisoned in a very small cell. Among his greatest weapon/ teacher was the rosary. He said this when he grew weary. Daily he prayed my Mother's rosary. And daily he was being transformed.


None of you can be my apostles if you do not carry your crosses. I can only transform/ teach/ redeem you through the crucible of the cross. Carry each and every humiliation, disillusionment, betrayal, abandonment, ridicule, all these pains in the bosom of your heart and fuse this to Mine. In patient suffering, I am one with you.


You shall find me when you feel most heartbroken, most ready to surrender, most ready to give up. I shall be there transforming your failures into success. Only by crushing your pride, shall I be able to enter you fully. Then you shall drink from me and never thirst. In your humiliation shall I be able to give you the crown of humility. All your flaws/failures which you have been blinded with by the enemy, I shall reveal to you when I have melted it all away in the furnace of the purifying fire of My Divine Love.


Continue to pray. Pray because your survival depends on this. Me: Lord, please bless our country. I've been part of those who have been praying for today's peaceful elections. I hope, I trust that our prayers will protect, enlighten, guide the voters to vote with their moral conscience. May our prayers succeed, and massive cheating not occur (as it did in the past election with the hello garci scandal) This we ask through the intercession of Mama Holy Mother Maryam.

2010 Heavenly Messages as given to Anna Marie, an Apostle of the Green Scapular


MESSAGE FROM JESUS OUR SAVIOR MOTHER HOLY MOTHER MARYAM IS CRYING TODAY, PREPARE FOR MORE TRIALS MAY 7, 2010 AT 9:40 AM


Anna Marie: Earlier this morning, I had a vision of Blessed Mother. She was depicted as a porcelain statue which changed to a human one. She began crying, and tears filled her eyes.


Anna Marie: My Lord, I hear you calling me. My Lord, are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?


Jesus: My dear one, it is I your Lord God and Savior, Jesus of the Most Blessed Sacrament.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord Jesus, may I ask you please, will you bow down and adore God your Eternal, Holy , Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega the Creator of all life, of all that is seen and unseen?


Jesus: Yes my dear one, I your Savior Jesus will now and will always bow down and adore my Holy Eternal Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega, who is the Creator of all life, of all that is seen and unseen.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, please speak to me, for your sinful servant is listening. My Lord Jesus, I surrender my hearing to the love of the Holy Spirit. Allow me to hear, know and complete all that you ask of me today and always. I love you. Holy Spirit, take me over, possess me my Divine God and lead me according to your will.


Jesus: My dear one, I allowed you to witness the tears of my mother this morning so that you would know that she is in great anguish. I know that you do not understand fully what is taking place in your nation, or what is about to take place in your nation, but it is a great trial. Because of your corrupt politicians, your nation will face great financial hardships. This will result in many more loosing their jobs. I want all to know and to hear my voice, I am your savior Jesus. Call out to me and I will help you through these sorrowful times. Even if you must loose everything, your house, your car; trust in me your Lord and I will lead you out of it, just as Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt.


Jesus: Be not afraid, do not fear. I say again, do not be afraid and do not fear any man or any situation. I am the Lord your God, it is I who will permit or not permit events to take place in your life. I must waken up my sleeping children. The time is now to wake up from your slumber. The great battle of Armageddon is nearing and you must be awake. Turn your life over to me, your Savior. Consecrate and surrender all you are and all you have to me, your Jesus...did I not do the same for you? I will protect you, even if you must suffer. I will lead you, even if you do not know the way. I will love you, even if you have never known love.


Jesus: Please beloved ones, turn to me and pray. Pray for peace, pray for peace in your land. Pray for peace in all countries around the world. Pray for radical leaders of other nations, pray to my Father daily to bring peace to all nations. Let there be a choir of prayers, day and night, ascending up to heaven and allow my Father to hear your sincere prayers. Beloved children, you must know that evil runs rampant in your nation now. Evil has entered into the hearts and minds of many prominent officials, this is why you have an obligation to pray for them all.


Jesus: I love each of you, I died for each of you, I will never desert you. But you too must do your part for the sake of all humanity. You must pray daily, pray as a family, pray in the church, pray in your homes. Pray children and do not stop praying.


Jesus: The time is short when all will be in tears once more due to a tragic event. Do not wait for an event to take place but pray now and stop the event for happening. Have I not already stopped two terror events in your land America? There were many more in other countries and here in America that you are not aware of, yet your prayers have allowed my grace to pour upon these situations and have mitigated their full destruction.


Jesus: My little lambs, I love you and I will lead my sheep to holiness and eternal life. I am your Shepherd and you are my little lambs. I love you, I love each of you. I ask each of your to fulfill a special request. On Mother’s Day please recite the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Offer your Rosary to my Holy Mother in honor her saying to become the Mother of God, and tell her you love her. She cries for her lost children, she cries for the many sins being committed against the innocent, she cries because so many souls are going to hell.


Jesus: That is all. You will post this message quickly daughter.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord. All the Apostles around the world love you Jesus and love your Holy Mother, Jesus. Thank you for coming, thank you for speaking.


Anna Marie: Dear Jesus please ask your mother not to cry, please Jesus. Who can function during the day knowing your Mother is crying. Dear Jesus please ask Mother not to cry because her little Apostles of the Green Scapular love her tremendously and we love you Dear Sweet Jesus.


Jesus: For those who wish to honor my mother and the sorrows of her heart, please recite her chaplet of Sorrows on Mother’s Day. You can recite it as a novena saying the prayers for nine days, or recite it on Mother‘s Day during the time frame of nine hours, the choice is yours. Daughter, you will ensure the chaplet novena is available for all to read.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, I will.


Jesus: I close now and am blessing each of you who read and do as I have requested of you here today with a special grace.


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


Jesus: I love you too. Your Jesus, Savior of the World.


Jesus: My daughter.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.


Jesus: Please pray for your Pope, he is in danger. There is a plot being conceived as I speak. Request my Apostles to pray diligently for your Holy Father in Rome, for his protection and the disruption of the plan to harm him.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord, they will Jesus.


Jesus: I am blessing you now, bow your head.

Monday, April 26, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, I am a God of love and mercy as you know, but I am also a God of justice. You know how much I want you to love Me and love your neighbor as yourself. I also desire you to obey My Commandments of love as a direction for your life. You are all My creations as you all have a mission that I give to each of you. You cannot accomplish your mission unless you give your complete will over to My Will. You are placed here on earth to know, love, and serve Me.


You see all the plants and animals that are in obedience to My ways. I have made man into My own Image in that I have given you free will to choose to love Me or not. I know you are weak by Adam’s sin, but I give you My sacraments to give you strength against committing sin that offends Me. At the end of this life, you will face My judgment of your actions.


Those, who are faithful to Me, have nothing to fear. You may suffer some purification with fire in purgatory, but one day you will be with Me in the glory of heaven. Those, who refuse to love Me and refuse to obey My Commandments, are calling on My justice and these souls could suffer the flames of hell for all eternity. These souls will never see My face again, and their torments will never end. As you see these souls suffering in the flames of hell, let this be a lesson to you so you will be led to save as many souls as possible from this fate. Pray for all sinners and all the souls suffering in purgatory.


Jesus said: My people, you can ask any of My saintly people to be an intercessor for your family’s intentions. I hear all of your prayers through any intercessor that you choose. Many times there are serious sicknesses in your family, and you can turn to Me and My intercessors for healing.


You could even pray for your own discomforts to be healed. Some healings require more prayers than others. When you pray for a healing, pray for both a spiritual conversion and a physical healing. Where there is a spiritual conversion required, it is more difficult to change someone’s free will.


You know that I do not force anything on your free will. In order for people to be converted, it must be their own choice to truly love Me. This is why you need to keep praying for your relatives that My Most Precious Blood can be poured over them to change their hearts so they can be predisposed to My love. By your persistent prayer, your family can be saved.


Tuesday, April 27, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, you have an expression of walk a mile in my shoes in order to really know a person. Truly I have revealed Myself to you in Holy Communion and in My Word of My Scriptures that was directed by the Holy Spirit. Once you intimately experience My love, you cannot contain My love only in yourself, but you feel that you have to share My love with others. I sent My apostles out two by two to evangelize the people with My message. You have been reading all the accounts in the Acts of the Apostlesof the many converts to the faith. I am sending all of My faithful out into your own surrounds so you can share My message of faith and love with new converts. You know how much you love Me and how I love you so much unconditionally. This gift of faith is why you want other souls to experience My love and understand My Word. Call on My Holy Spirit to give you the courage and strength to evangelize as many souls as you can to bring them to Me and help in saving them from hell and the demons.

 


Jesus said: My people, you are aware that you are in the middle of a spiritual battle between good and evil. In every place that you travel, you should carry your spiritual weapons to fight off the demons. You should wear your brown scapular and follow the promises of My Blessed Mother to protect you from hell. Also carry your rosary and your Benedictine blessed crucifix with the exorcism medal of St. Benedict on the back of the cross.


Also, blessed medals of St. Michael, St. Benedict, and the Miraculous Medal could be placed in the rooms of your house for demon protection. Some people sprinkle blessed salt or Holy water where they live or where their loved ones live. You can also use these weapons in places where you speak or where religious classes are given. You have various exorcism prayers and your St. Michael prayer to help you if you are being attacked by demons. Call on Me and My angels to protect you in these attacks and especially invoke My Name Jesus against them.


Wednesday, April 28, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, you are seeing all of the beautiful spring flowers blooming in your gardens. You also are celebrating the Easter Season and you are My Easter people. This vision of blooming flowers in the pews represents My faithful in the pews when you shine forth with your spiritual works of mercy.


You all have the gifts of faith from the Holy Spirit, and you all are called forth to bear fruit in your actions. A flower blooms and it is fulfilling what it is created to do. My people also have a mission to save souls and help people. Doing these good works is what you were created to do as well. You see all of creation and how everything obeys My Will in their purpose of why things and animals were made. See also that My people also need to give their wills over to Me so they can conform to My plan for their lives. This time of Easter is a joyous celebration and you all are giving Me praise and glory for My gift in My death and Resurrection.


Jesus said: My people, at times you are troubled in your thoughts about what to expect in life. Even some people allow difficulties in life to draw them into states of depression. Yet when you pray to Me for help and when you come before Me in My tabernacle, I can comfort you in My arms, and you feel loved in My Presence.


You have times of joy and times of sorrow when people die or have life threatening diseases or cancer. You need to rely on your daily prayers to lift you out of any depression, and seek My love to comfort you. You always have a friend in Me at your side when you need Me.


Those, who are faithful to Me in this life, have My promise of eternal life in heaven. So do not have any fear of things in the future because I always give you enough grace to overcome any of your difficulties. When you are next to a warm fire in your house, or a warm heater in your car, you enjoy the comfort of that warmth. When you are close to Me, you have a spiritual warmth in your heart that gives you comfort to endure anything. Trust in Me that I will take care of you in all of your needs.


Thursday, April 29, 2010: (St. Catherine of Sienna)

 


Jesus said: My people, in the spring you see many beautiful flowers and these flowers perform a beautiful function in nature. They are a pleasure for viewing, but they also provide a means for developing your crops. The bees, that you are also seeing in the vision, not only are making honey, but they also fertilize nearly one-third of all of your crops that have flowers.


This is why shortages of bee colonies have become a serious problem for your farmers and those with orchards. When man changes your plants by hybrids, you are interfering with nature in not making good seeds and upsetting this fertilization process. This changes your food and can cause more cancer and other diseases. It is better to use organic and non-hybrid crops to keep My balance of nature. In the spiritual world it is My grace that fertilizes your souls so you can be fruitful in your good deeds. Even when I directed man to be fruitful and multiply with future generations, I also want you to multiply your good deeds so others can see and imitate your good works. Strive to work in harmony with My Will both in your physical world and in your spiritual lives.

 


Prayer Group:


Jesus said: My people, when Rome was attacked, the Holy Father had to flee. Then there were three claims to be Pope, and it was St. Catherine the Great who brought the true Pope to be established in Rome. The other antipopes had to leave. St. Catherine helped guide the Church with her writings and she became one of the few women doctors of the Church. Give thanks for her life and her contributions to the Church.

 


Jesus said: My people, no matter how many spring seasons that you experience, the beauty of My flowers of creation are still breath-taking. Even as a photographer, you are awed by this beauty every year. Continue to give Me praise and glory in every part of My creation that you admire. By sharing your pictures and movies, others can appreciate what you see each year.


Jesus said: My people, you are never lacking in prayer petitions because you are seeing many people die from various causes, and others are sick and in need of operations. Pray for these people who are having a hard time to bear with this life. I never test you beyond what you can endure, because I give you enough grace to get through each trial.


Jesus said: My people, those, who are sleep deprived because they went to bed too late, will have to pay for this the next day when it is difficult to do everything with strength. Sometimes people also get lazy or sleepy in their spiritual lives as well. You can get repetitious even in your prayer life. But when you skip your prayers and stop going to Sunday Mass, you can grow weak in standing up to temptations to sin. This is why you need retreats or new experiences to invigorate your faith. Pray for My help that you do not fall lax in your religious fervor.


Jesus said: My people, as you struggle to evangelize souls, you need to be well read in your Scriptures and be ready to answer people’s questions. As you teach your faith to others, you are learning as well how much I love you and those that you are trying to convert. It takes courage in your faith to go out and preach My Word to the people. One thing, that you need to watch, is that you practice what you preach, and let others see that you are living your faith in your actions.


Jesus said: My people, some people have well manicured lawns, gardens, and their houses are immaculately clean. These people are very conscious of their outward appearances in dress and their cars. My question is how clean is their inside life in their souls? I criticized the Pharisees for having good outward appearances, but inside they were like dead men’s bones. I make the outside as well as the inside, so be careful to go to frequent Confession so your souls are as pleasing to look at as the outside of your body.


Jesus said: My people, many of your businesses are doing much better with their earnings because they have stripped themselves lean of some workers. Once they are doing better, it would help if they stopped being greedy for more profits and shared this money by hiring unemployed workers.


Many corporations are benefitting from low interest loans and less taxes, yet they do not seem to want to share their earnings with the unemployed in their contributions to this worker insurance plan for the unemployed. Pray that as your economy picks up, that more people will find it easier to secure a job.


Friday, April 30, 2010: (St. Pius V)


Jesus said: My people, in the Gospel of St. John I told My apostles that I was going to prepare a place for them. In My house in heaven there are many mansions for every soul that comes to heaven. When people die, many souls come to Me in judgment through this same tunnel. The vision of many lights means that a large number of souls will be coming to Me all at once when the great Warning experience comes to everyone on earth.


This will be like a near death experience because you will come to Me out of your body, outside of time. There will be no waiting, but you will see how your actions will be judged as if you died just then. Once you have your life review and mini-judgment, you will have My grace and My mercy to return to your bodies, and you will have an opportunity to repent and change your lives.


Once you have this knowledge of your sins, you will be held more accountable for the rest of your life. This Warning will be a preparation for your final judgment and the tribulation. There will be a great need for priests for Confessions as you evangelize souls, and these souls will be more open to repentance. Then there will be no more questions of where they will be going.


(Camille’s Mass) Camille said: I was happy to see that you found out about my Mass today. You may have to check when these Mass intentions are being said. As you saw in the vision about the car, it was good that you got it fixed for inspection in order to sell it. I always had a problem with that engine light going on. I have been turning lights on and off, but that engine light was one to keep off. I am still changing lights to let you know that I am watching over all of you. Take good care of your mother, and tell her how I am looking out for her out of love.


Saturday, May 1, 2010: (Justin’s First Holy Communion-grandson)


Jesus said: My people, as you look upon these First Communicants in their white dresses, veils, and suits, you can see the sweet innocence of My little children. They are so anxious to receive Me for the first time, and some even go to daily Mass for a while because they are now a part of the whole Mass as they receive Communion with everyone. I have told you that you need to be humble and innocent as these small children if you want to enter into heaven.


These children have blind faith in their parents and in Me, and that is why your faith should be as strong as well, without any reservations. The beautiful gift, that you have in receiving Me in Holy Communion, is that each time you receive Me, you have a new and different experience of My love. No matter how many times that you receive Me in Holy Communion, you will always be learning something new about Me. My Real Presence in My Hosts is difficult to understand, but believe this in faith.


Jesus said: My people, many think if they have enough money and places to live, that they are secure. Money can be stolen or devalued, and it is gone tomorrow. Some think they need to have a lot of gold and silver, or diamonds. These things keep their value, but they may be hard to barter with and again they are subject to theft. If you want to have something of value, it would be better to stock at least one year’s supply of food in dried foods, meals ready to eat, or rotated canned foods. If necessary, I will multiply your food and extra fuel.


You are most secure in trusting in Me to provide for your needs and your protection. Your money will soon become worthless in the next financial disaster that will change your dollar over to the North American Union’s amero. When this happens, you will need to call on Me and I will have your angels lead you to the nearest refuge. Do not rely on your own security, but trust in Me always for everything.


Sunday, May 2, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, this vision of a heart is all about the unconditional love that I have for all of you, as evidenced when I died for you on the cross. No one can have a greater love for another than when one offers his or her life for that person. This Adoration of Me at Benediction is the love that I receive from you when you give Me praise and glory in My Real Presence.


When you come before My tabernacle and genuflect before Me, you are giving reverence to your God and Master. When you pray your rosaries for your intentions, you are speaking your words of love to Me. When you give donations or do good deeds for people, you are saying how much you love Me in your neighbor. You need to tell Me every day how much you love Me, as you know that I always love you, even despite your sinfulness.


(Christ the King Shrine’s Anniversary) Jesus said: My people, I gave the keys of My Kingdom to St. Peter as the first Pope of My Church to be its leader. By My power I have guarded My Church from the gates of hell throughout the centuries. I am showing you this vision of My Pope son because I am calling on all of My faithful to pray for Pope Benedict XVI. He and My Church are being persecuted by your media. You need to support all of your Church leaders, but especially with this latest criticism. I also want My faithful here today to pray for the approval of this Shrine as many have worked for this cause and have been dedicated to this Shrine. I thank all of you for faithfully honoring this Shrine on this anniversary and for all of your prayers for your intentions. My Blessed Mother and I are blessing all of you this day. Thank you for all of the honoring of the statues and preparations that have been made here as well. Heaven is very happy with your work here.


Monday, May 3, 2010: (St. Philip and St. James)


Jesus said: My people, this vision is giving attention to the importance of honoring My Blessed Sacrament and giving Me reverence because I am the One who makes your churches Holy . I am reserved in the tabernacle for all of you to visit, and being in the middle of the altar is My proper place, and not hidden away in some back room. It is unfortunate that more Catholics do not fully recognize My Real Presence in every consecrated Host. It is also important to receive Me in Holy Communion without any mortal sin on your soul.


Your priest should encourage their people to go to frequent Confession at least once monthly so you can be prepared for your day of judgment. Your priests also need to encourage people to give Me reverence in genuflecting to My tabernacle and bowing before the priest before receiving My Eucharist. It is more reverent to receive Me in Holy Communion on the tongue than in the hand. I am sharing this idea of reverence for My Blessed Sacrament especially to train the young children, since many are receiving their First Holy Communion at this time of year.


Jesus said: My people, many people require glasses either for distance vision or for reading up close. Glasses allow your eyes to have a better focus on what you are reading. In your spiritual life I have asked you to keep your focus on Me and what I want you to do, instead of looking for worldly things. At times you get detoured by your sinful desires, and you need to get your focus back by repenting of your sins in Confession. I know what is best for your soul, so following My ways will lead you on the right path to heaven. If you get taken up with various addictions, it is more difficult to get back to following Me. With addictions you need possible rehabilitation and avoiding the first temptation. Pray much for My grace to keep you on course and focused on Me, and you will have everything provided for you.


Tuesday, May 4, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, painting a house is similar to how a soul can be converted. At first you clean and scrape the old paint from your house. This is equivalent to ridding your old habits of sin by avoiding occasions of sin and fighting temptations. Once the surface is prepared, then it is time to get out the paint, brushes, and ladders to paint over the old surface. You can see how much better your house looks after it has been painted. So also once a soul has converted, now they are ready for the grace of Confession when all of their sins will be forgiven, and My grace will erase the darkness of sin. Receiving Me in Holy Communion will heal the soul of its sins and that soul will take on a new life in the Spirit that even can be seen in their physical appearance. Heaven rejoices every time that a soul goes through this conversion process. I am like the Prodigal Son’s father waiting for every soul to return to Me for the forgiveness of their sins.


Jesus said: My people, you have seen various terrorist attacks using planes, suicide bombers, and roadside bombs. This vision represents a different kind of spines as on sea mines. Just as mine fields are used in various battlefields, sea mines could be used in straights of water that are narrow as in the Persian Gulf and near the Suez and Panama Canals. This could disrupt much shipping, especially oil tankers. Terrorists could lay these mines at night and ships may be hard to see them, especially if they were partially submerged. Your security people have to be on constant alert for all the different ways that terrorists attack, as on a plane or with a car bomb. Pray that these terrorists can be stopped before they could kill many people.


Wednesday, May 5, 2010:


God the Father said: I AM WHO AM. You have many Masses being offered, but where are the people to see this miracle of My Son, Jesus, being brought down into the bread and wine? It is unfortunate that those who proclaim to be Catholics are waning in their faith, as fewer are coming even to Sunday Mass. For the few that are here, I bring down My heavenly graces on them. My Son has told you that when you receive Him in Holy Communion, you also receive Me and God the Holy Spirit. I have given My Ten Commandments to Moses as guidelines for living life for all peoples all over the world. I know that you are weak to sin, but living My Commandments is not a difficult way. Pray for protection from the evil one’s temptations, and by My sacraments you will have the strength to endure your trials. Live life to the fullest for My greater glory, and choose life over the death of sin.


Jesus said: My people, I have told you that there would be a frightful scene in the sky on the day of the Warning. This comet is truly on a near miss collision with the earth and it has already been detected by the Hubble Telescope. The media will not broadcast such a sighting until it is very close. This will come so fast that you will not track it very well. I have told you also that events are happening one after another, and that My Warning is not far off. All of these events will soon come together to prepare My people for the beginning of the tribulation as the Antichrist will declare himself. Be prepared to leave for My refuges as soon as I warn you to do so.


Thursday, May 6, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, it took some time, discussions, and discernment until My apostles could accept Gentiles into My Church. No longer did new converts have to follow all of the Jewish traditions. They still had to repent of their sins and follow My Ten Commandments of love, but not circumcision. I came to fulfill the Law and not to take anything away. But I also died for all of mankind so that everyone can be converted, no matter what their past religion or ethnic background is. Even the word ‘Catholicnot only refers to My Church, but it means universal, meaning that anyone can join. The only basic requirements are to repent of their sins, accept Me as Master of their lives, and obey My Ten Commandments. You also have My sacraments which include confession of your sins to My priests. The disciples, especially St. Paul, were happy to work in converting the Gentiles to the faith. Even today, I encourage My faithful to evangelize all souls without any discrimination. This is why I sent My apostles out to all the nations to evangelize souls for My Church.


Prayer Group:


Jesus said: My people, at your prayer group you are very faithful in praying My Divine Mercy chaplet. You are familiar with the graces from My Divine Mercy devotions. You also have St. Faustina’s Diary and you have read the promises for those who pray in the presence of My image. It would be good for you to acquire a reasonable sized picture for display at your prayer group and in your home. You remember how Stanley had such a picture in his ministry. Also reread to the people the graces for praying in front of My image.


Jesus said: My people, I know that some of you come to daily Mass and even a few make daily visits to My tabernacle. I thank you for all of your devotions, but I desire you to pray your rosaries with more fervor and not just worked in simultaneous with your other duties. If you are to pray to Me from the heart, as I requested, then you need to have your full attention on Me in a prayerful position as on your knees. It is more important to pray with fervor and slowly than to just say the words in haste. Remember that when you are praying to Me, you are giving Me your words of love.


Jesus said: My people, you know from your trips to Medjugorje that My Blessed Mother has requested fasting on Wednesday and Friday. You have made attempts to follow this request, but over the years you have been a little lax in a true fast. Even fasting between meals without eating sweets would be a good start with only one main meal. I am reminding you of these things that I taught you, and it would be a good practice to return to your initial fervor.


Jesus said: My people, when you make some time to pray to Me, especially in front of My tabernacle, make a point to alternate between your Bible and the Liturgy of the Hours. Remember also to take 5 or 10 minutes of silence in your contemplative prayer so I can talk to your heart. If you are to strive to be Holy , you need to read My Word and listen to My personal instruction for each of your missions.


Jesus said: My people, during Lent you all were doing well with your Lenten devotions. You can help your spiritual life by using some of these devotions throughout the whole year. On Friday you should pray My Stations of the Cross or My Pieta prayers to St. Bridget. Make an emphasis on your morning and night prayers. Maybe reading your Imitations of Christ for a few pages would be helpful. I know that you have other obligations, but if you try, you can make more time for Me every day without doing things that waste your precious time on earth.


Jesus said: My people, you all are going to have a life review at death and hopefully if you live to see My Warning. You can take stock of your daily life right now and see how much time that you give Me each day. If you start adding these extra devotions to your day, even for a short time, then you will not be embarrassed when I review each day with you. The closer you are to Me in your spiritual life, the easier it will go for you at your judgment. Keep focused on Me and you will be better able to fight off the temptations of the devil.


Jesus said: My people, during Lent you formed some good prayerful habits and I have reminded you several times that you could do these things the year round. Think of your whole life as on a pilgrimage to your eternal destination. In other words you will be judged on your actions during Lent as well as during the rest of the year. This is why you need to keep your guard up against sin at all times. It also means that you should cleanse your soul regularly at least monthly at Confession, and not just when you commit a mortal sin. By keeping your soul pure, you will always be ready to meet Me at your judgment.


Friday, May 7, 2010: (Eleanor Schultz Funeral Mass)


Jesus said: My people, I am showing you a beautiful picture of heaven because eternal life with Me should be the goal of every soul. Everything, that you do in life, should be done out of love for Me and love for your neighbor. When you have a life dedicated to Me, I am showing you your eventual reward in heaven. Some souls need to spend some time being purified in purgatory before they are allowed through the gates of heaven. You all have access to My Word in the Bible, so you know what is expected of you in this life. You have free will to follow Me or not, but your decision has its consequences. All of My faithful should be giving Me worship and praise every Sunday at Mass along with your daily prayers. The closer you are to Me, that will mean less time in purgatory. I am accepting your prayers and Masses to bring Ellie into heaven.


Saturday, May 8, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, this rotating tunnel is another view of the tunnel that you will be coming through to see Me both at your death and at the Warning. The Warning will come first, but the vision of a wedding banquet in heaven is My promise to My faithful for those who follow My Commandments. The fact, that I have been giving you these kind of messages frequently, is another sign that this experience is getting closer. If you are practicing your faith and following My ways, you will have nothing to fear. For those, who are in mortal sin, it would be better to go to Confession quickly so you do not have to face the possibility of seeing what hell is like in your Warning experience. Living a good Christian life is your best preparation for the Warning. Then there will be no surprises.


(Shaun & Kathleen Wedding) Jesus said: My people, at every marriage ceremony when you unite a man and a woman, as Shaun and Kathleen, you are symbolizing the marriage of Me and My Church. That is why you are seeing this church and the bright Light in Me. This occasion at Cana is a joyful celebration of the uniting of two lives in love. The readings were well chosen of St. Raphael’s blessing and Tobias and Sara’s prayers, the description of love, and My miracle of changing water into wine at Cana. As the priest requested, everyone raised their hand that they would pray for Shaun and Kathleen. It is good to give support to the newlyweds because there are many attacks against today’s families. As the priest prayed over them, I am blessing them and I am a third partner in their marriage.


Sunday, May 9, 2010: (Mother’s Day)


The Blessed Mother said: My dear children, I am your heavenly Mother and I am watching over all of you with my mantle as a shield from the evil one. I encourage you to wear my brown scapular and to pray my rosary every day. These are your weapons for fighting evil and not using guns. I especially want to bless all the mothers in the world. Motherhood is how the human race is carried on, and having children is a share in God’s creation.


Life is too precious to kill, especially in the womb. I thank all mothers who have had their children, and I console those who have had abortions. I encourage all future mothers not to have abortions for any reason, nor use birth control methods. Life is a grace and is not to be killed.


Praying for the stoppage of abortion should be one of your daily rosary intentions. Bring up your children in loving and prayerful environments, and teach them the value of worship at every Sunday Mass as well as the need for the sacraments. My Son and I are always seeking the conversion of sinners, and sharing eternal life with you in the glory of heaven.


Jesus said: My people, these sets of small steps represent the stairs by which you can advance in your spiritual life. The chocolate candy at the foot of the steps represents the various temptations of earthly desires that can keep you from improving in this spiritual life. Candy is just an example, but there are many other temptations and even addictions, that if you allow them, can hinder your progress. This is why you need to be strong and vigilant in your struggle to follow My instructions that will keep you on the right path to heaven.


Every year you need to check your status to see if you are improving in your love for Me or if you are static or worse. If you are not improving, then you are not spending your time profitably for your soul. If you cannot improve on your perfection on earth, then you may take longer in purgatory to purge your earthly desires. You need to have a pure heart and soul so you will be open to worshiping Me with all of your being in heaven.


Monday, May 10, 2010:


Jesus said: My people, you have been reading from the Acts of the Apostles and all about their many missionary trips as they were converting souls in the Early Church. As you see this car in the vision, imagine if St. Paul and the apostles could have used cars and airplanes. How many more souls they could have reached with your vehicles. So today, you are able to travel by car and airplane to visit many more places in a shorter time in order to spread My Word of love and warning. You have a difficult message to share of preparing for the coming tribulation, but you are blessed also in accepting My mission so people will know about My refuges of protection in this coming time of evil. It is one thing to convert souls to the faith, but it is another to show My faithful how they will be protected in the coming persecution of Christians. People must know that after the Warning, events will quickly lead up to the time when the Antichrist will declare himself.


Disasters and a major economic disaster will lead the way to this event. Be prepared to leave your homes for My refuges of protection. You will not be safe at your homes when the evil ones will try and force the mark of the beast on you, or take you to detention centers that are death camps. Trust in Me by then calling on Me, and your guardian angel will lead you with a physical flame to the nearest refuge. On the way and at My refuges you will be made invisible to the evil ones. Be thankful that My angels will protect you during this coming persecution.


Tuesday, May 11, 2010: Jesus said: My people, in today’s first reading as in the vision of St. Paul and Silas, there was an earthquake that opened the prison doors, but they did not flee. Instead this became an occasion to evangelize the jailer when he was about to kill himself. In another prison scene St. Peter and St. John were led by an angel out of prison at night past the guards.


These events were miracles at times to give hope to My disciples as they evangelized even those in the prisons. Despite the evil one’s attempts to persecute My prophets and My disciples, I at times protected them from harm. One of the end time signs is that there will be an increase in severe earthquakes.


A good number of earthquakes occur in nature due to the tectonic plates shifting all over the earth. In more recent times you have seen the use of microwave arrays, like the HAARP machine, being purposely used to cause earthquakes and bad weather which result in death and disasters. Satan hates man, and he is directing the one world people to decrease the world’s population according to their death culture. So they are using any means possible to achieve this goal.


Holy Love Messages May 3 & 5. 2010 May 3, 2010 Monday Service - Peace in All Hearts through Holy Love

 


Jesus is here with His Heart exposed. He says: "I am your Jesus, born Incarnate." "My brothers and sisters, I come tonight especially to thank you, each of you, for your many prayers and sacrifices which have gained many souls for the Kingdom of Heaven. The best prayer, the best sacrifice, is offered from a heart full of Holy Love, which has no thought of self but only love of God and neighbor. Remember this ALWAYS." "Tonight I'm blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love."


May 5, 2010 Feast of Holy Mother Maryam, Refuge of Holy Love - 13th Anniversary


(This message was given in multiple parts.)


Blessed Mother is here as Refuge of Holy Love, and has on the crown that the children had placed on Her Head earlier today. She says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"Dear children, today I am with you as your Protectress and Refuge of Holy Love. I am always your Protectress and Refuge, seeking your welfare before the Throne of God. I desire to enjoy eternity with you. My Immaculate Heart calls you to the heights of holiness, for My Heart is the First Chamber of Our United Hearts - the Flame of purgation preparing souls to pursue the desire for personal holiness. My Heart is the Divine Will of the Heavenly Father. It is the way and the means of sanctification. My Heart is the Gateway to the New Jerusalem which is the Heart of My Son."


"If you but turn towards My Heart, I will help you to recognize and circumvent every obstacle that lies between us. You will find hope in the midst of desperation. You will find perseverance in the hour of discouragement. You will see clearly the difference between good and evil in every decision. Every obstacle will be laid bare, and you will see the portals of Satan's entry into every life situation. But, dear children, you must decide to turn to your Heavenly Mother's Heart."


"Dear children, My title and My role as Refuge of Holy Love, are given by Heaven to bring peace to the world - peace to souls and salvation to sinners. To live in Holy Love is to embrace the Ten Commandments. This is the solution for the woes of the world. Please understand, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem."


"I do not come to you empty-handed, but with My Hands full of grace - graces that I am ready to pour out on you if you choose Holy Love in the present moment. I come bearing words of truth. Those who oppose Holy Love oppose the truth. But truth, dear children, does not change according to whom accepts or believes in it. Truth is truth no matter who believes or disbelieves; no matter who approves or disapproves. Truth cannot be redefined to suit personal agendas."


"Today, as never before, mankind has reached new levels of self-love fed by the technologies God has given him. In all of this, mankind has lost sight of his dependency upon God the Creator. Even the disasters that occur do not serve to call mankind back to love of God and love of neighbor. Today, in this country, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is regarded as a threat to the environment - nothing more. In other areas of the world, air space has been blocked by volcanic ash. Please understand, dear children, these disasters and others yet to come are representative of the pollution and obstacles between you and your relationship with God. Can you not fall on your knees and seek God's forgiveness?"


"The gravest and most insidious sin is mankind's failure to search out and recognize the truth. All truth is based upon the reality of the Ten Commandments. Remember, Holy Love is the embodiment of the Ten Commandments. Today I state to you once again this truth. My Immaculate Heart - Refuge of Holy Love - is the Ark of the New Covenant of Love God seeks to establish with all mankind. It is your responsibility to seek this Ark out and to make it known by means of all the technology God has given you."


"In Noah's day, people continued on the path of error, and did not recognize the truth. Today it is no different. The truth of all I have come to tell you and give to you is not recognized. The enemy is trying to drown everything in a sea of controversy; he is trying to pollute the truth."


"Dear children, persevere. I, your Mother, am your refuge and your defense. New disasters will not frighten you if you are in My Heart. The safety of My Heart can be felt here today and always on this property. Carry this peace home with you by choosing to live in Holy Love."


"Dear children, today and always I am your Heavenly Mother. I have called you here - invited you here. You have come with faith and love in your hearts. I invite you to allow your hearts to be reformed in Holy Love so that you can become good instruments of the Father's Divine Will."


Our Lady tells me to tell the people that She's blessing the articles that they have on them, and in their possession.


"Today, My dear little children, I'm blessing you with My Blessing of Holy Love."


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!

AFROCENTRIC PROPHECY MEDITATIONS
Topic: Prophecy Meditation
The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.AfrFriday, April 30, 2010 "I am your friend" Dear Friends, The Words of Eternal Life Then many of Jesus' disciples who were listening said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?" Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father." As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?" Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God." (John 6:60-69) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "Many of My disciples refused to accept My teachings on the Eucharist. After explaining to them that they have to eat My flesh and drink My blood, many refused to accompany Me. They returned to their homes and their old way of life. At the end I asked My Apostles if they too wanted to leave Me. It was St. Peter who answered with great faith that I have the words of eternal life. He added these words, 'We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.' With these words Peter showed his faith in Me even if he did not understand fully what I told him. I call you, My dear brothers and sisters, to believe like St. Peter. Know that I cannot teach you anything false as I am the Son of God. All I have taught concerning the Eucharist is absolutely true and you are to believe it all. The greatest gift I gave you is the Eucharist, which is the gift of Myself to you. Believe that when you receive the Eucharist I come into your heart with all the graces and strength that you need. Welcome Me into your heart with prayer filled with love. I am your friend who wants the best for you. Let us live together all the days of your life." Father Melvin Thursday, April 29, 2010 Dear Friends, "I am the Living Bread" Jesus answered and said to them, "... I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever." (John 6:43,51-58) Below you will find the message of Our Resurrected Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "I spoke to the Apostles and to many disciples about the Eucharist. I told them that I would give them My flesh to eat. To impress upon them the importance of the Eucharist, I told them that unless they eat My flesh and drink My blood they would not have life within them; they would not have eternal life. Those who eat My flesh and drink My blood remain in Me and I in them. By these words concerning the Eucharist, I wanted to make them understanding that the Eucharist is My gift to them. This gift brings them eternal life and they would come to heaven with Me one day. So, My brothers and sisters, by the host you receive at Holy Communion, you truly receive Me alive under the species of bread and if you drink from the chalice, again your receive Me who is truly present there under the species of wine. I ask you all to believe with all your heart and soul that in Holy Communion you receive Me as I live today in heaven. I come into your heart to make My home there and bring you eternal life. It is out of love for you that I instituted the Holy Eucharist." Wednesday, April 21, 2010 "I came into the world to bring you all to heaven" Dear Friends, Witnesses to Jesus Jesus said, "If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony cannot be verified. But there is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that the testimony he gives on my behalf is true. You sent emissaries to John (the Baptist), and he testified to the truth. I do not accept testimony from a human being, but I say this so that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and for a while you were content to rejoice in his light. But I have testimony greater than John's. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me. Moreover, the Father who sent me has testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice nor seen his form, and you do not have his word remaining in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent. You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life." (John 5:31-40) Below you will find the message of the Resurrected Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "Many people refused to believe in Me when I began My public life although they saw all the miracles I performed. John the Baptist was My witness and he is the one who baptized Me. At My baptism the Father spoke saying, 'This is My beloved Son,' testifying that I am the Son of God. John the Baptist also said that I must increase and he must decrease. He called Me 'the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.' All the healings and miracles I performed, such as the raising of the dead to life, testify that I come from God and I possess the power that God alone has. I call you, all My friends, to read the Bible and see that indeed I am the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. Another great proof that I come from God is the fact that after three days in the tomb I resurrected from the dead never to die again. Only God can do such things. All should accept Me as the Messiah, the Savior, who was mentioned many times in the Old Testament beginning with Genesis. Believe in Me and follow Me and you will be saved. I came into the world to bring you all to heaven." Father Melvin Thursday, April 22, 2010 "May our relationship grow every day" Dear Friends, I am the Living Bread Jesus said, "... Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." (John 6:45b-51) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "Most of My teachings about the Eucharist are found in the Gospel of St. John in chapter six. I told the Apostles and others that I was the bread of life. If you eat this bread you will live forever in heaven. The bread that I give you is My flesh for the life of the world. At the last supper I took bread and blessed it and I said, 'This is My Body' and I gave it to the Apostles to eat. Then I took a cup filled with wine and I said, 'This is the cup of My blood.' I gave the cup to the Apostles to drink. The truth about all this is that I changed the bread and wine into My very body and blood and I gave My very self to the Apostles to consume. So if you participate in the liturgy of the Holy Eucharist and when you come to receive Holy Communion, you receive Me as I live today in heaven. I am the resurrected One who offered His life for your salvation. It is very important, My friends, to believe My words and to come regularly to receive Me in Holy Communion. In this way we can have a special relationship as I dwell very close to you in your heart. I want you all to come to Me often during the day to speak to Me and to listen to what I have to tell you. I want to be number one in your life. May our relationship grow every day." Father Melvin Monday, April 26, 2010 "Come to visit Me in Church often" Dear Friends, Multiplication of the Loaves Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near. When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?" He said this to test them, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Two hundred days' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little (bit)." One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?" Jesus said, "Have the people recline." Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted." So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. (John 6:3-13) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "Many people followed Me during My public life and often we would gather by a mountain or in the desert. Especially if we had spent the whole day together, I would give them something to eat. There was never much food there but I would multiply the food so that all could eat to their full. Once I fed five thousand men without counting the women and children with just five loaves of bread and two fish. These miracles point for the Jews to the manna in the desert that My Father gave them for forty years and for you who follow Me, such a miracle points to the Eucharist I gave to the Church. Through the Eucharist I gave you the gift of Myself. I am truly present in the hosts and the chalice and when you receive Me I come to live in your heart. This gift of Myself is the way I remain with you although I disappeared from your eyes and went to heaven. I am always with you and please come to visit Me in Church often. I bless you." Father Melvin Tuesday, April 27, 2010 "Have a picture of Me in your home" Dear Friends, Walking on the Water When it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea, embarked in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they began to be afraid. But he said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid." They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading. (John 6:16-21) Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "I bless you and all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the world. One evening I was with the Apostles on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. I decided to go and pray on the mountain while they got in a boat to cross the water and go to Capernaum. During the night I decided to cross the water on foot and go and meet the Apostles who were not making much headway because of the strong wind. When they saw Me walking on the water they were afraid but I told them not to be afraid. Then we reached the shore. This is another of My miracles to show the Apostles that I have divine power and so I can do many things, which they cannot do. It is a fact that I have a human nature and I can do everything a human being can do. However, I have another nature, which no human being has, and that nature is called divine. This is the nature of God as I am the Second Person of the Trinity; all those who believe in Me accept Me as God. Truly I am the Son of God, who came into the world to suffer and die for your salvation. You can have a picture of Me because I am human. All of you love to have pictures of your loved ones and look at them. These bring back many memories and your heart is filled with love for them. Have a picture of Me in your home and I will bless it." Father Melvin Wednesday, April 28, 2010 "I bless you all" Dear Friends, I am the Bread of Life Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. But I told you that although you have seen me, you do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day." (John 6:32-40) Below you will find the message from Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "One day in Capernaum I was with a crowd of people and I spoke to them after they asked for a sign. They had been speaking about how Moses had given their ancestors manna during their forty years in the desert. I began by telling them that it was My Father who had given the people manna in the desert. I told them that I was the bread of life who came down from heaven. I called on all of them to believe in Me, saying, if they do believe they will go to heaven and I will raise them up on the last day. You know, My brothers and sisters, that I am the only Savior in the whole world and all are called to believe in Me to be saved. I also gave Myself to you as food. My flesh is true food and My blood is true drink. You are all called to partake of this food for eternal life. The night before I died, I took bread and changed it into My body and gave it to the Apostles to eat. Then I took wine and changed it into My blood and gave them to drink. This is My great gift to you who believe: the gift of Myself. Come as often as you can to receive Me in Holy Communion so that we can be united as one. Believe that I am truly present in the Eucharist and come and receive Me with great devotion and love. I bless you all." Father Melvin ASK FOR A SOUL for every WORD you say on your RosaryAND your Chaplet of Divine Mercy  "Then the whole of the Church, which celebrates the Eucharist, is praying with us.  Then we are praying within the sphere of God's gracious hearing, because we are praying within the sphere of death and resurrection, that is where the real petition in all our petitions has been heard: the petition for the victory over death; the petition for love that is stronger than death" (Pope Benedict XVI). St. Louis Marie de Montfort, Priest, Missionary (1673-1716), France—April 28
He wrote, "Do you hunger for the bread of grace and the bread of life?  Draw near to her who bore the living Bread which came down from Heaven."  "Place yourself humbly in the presence of God . . . .  Renew your consecration [to the Blessed Virgin Mary] saying, `I belong entirely to you, dear Mother, and all that I have is yours.'"
  Mother Teresa  Never let anything so fill you with pain or sorrow so as to make you forget the joy of Christ Risen. Meditations by Padre Pio -When passing before an image of Our Lady we should say: "I greet you, Oh Mary. Greet Jesus for me." Archbishop Fulton SheenThe shallowness of "Let's do lunch...sometime!""Insincerity of a minor degree is that in which we constantly promise something that we never expect to fulfill. The `Yes Man' is Exhibit A of that group, who is always afraid to assert his own mind and who identifies agreement with agreeableness.  Another form is the invitation to dinner, `Come up and have dinner with us sometime,' brings the equally agreeable and insincere answer, `Yes, I will.' The insincerity is in the indefiniteness; `sometime' can often mean, `We are not expecting you,' and its answer sometimes means, `Nor do I expect to go.'" St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  - Tell souls not to place within their own hearts obstacles to My mercy, which so greatly wants to act within them. My mercy works in all those hearts which open their doors to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of My mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace of My mercy.      (1577) Let souls who are striving for perfection particularly adore My mercy, because the abundance of graces which I grant them flows from My mercy. I desire that these souls distinguish themselves by boundless trust in My mercy. I myself will attend to the sanctification of such souls.  I will provide them with everything they will need to attain sanctity. The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is-trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive. Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to Me, because I pour all the treasures of My graces into them. I rejoice that they ask for much, because it is My desire to give much, very much. On the other hand, I am sad when souls ask for little, when they narrow their hearts.      (1578)   MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAYThese thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. May 1 - THE MONTH OF OUR LADYReferring to the month of May, Our Lady said: "May this month be for you the month of the rosary and reading your Bible…"(Visionary Prayer Group May 9, 1988). Reflection:The month of May means that spring is here, and all of nature seems to rejoice; budding flowers and trees, green grass and sunshine, usher in a season of soft colors and new life.This is Mary's month, of May crownings, processions, the rosary and, as she says today, a time for reading sacred scripture.As Catholics, we are aware that the Bible is the inspired word of God, that his presence and truth are found within its pages. In somewhat the same way, nature reveals the image and beauty of God. St. Paul writes, "Since the creation of the world, invisible realities, God's eternal power and divinity, have become visible, recognized through the things he has made" (Rom 1 :20). As spring unfolds, May we discover anew God's presence in creation, and with the psalmist sing his praise: You visit the earth and water it, your greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide the people with grain, for so you have prepared it. You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth. The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy, the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy. Psalm 65 :9-10,12-13 Application:In celebration of this month dedicated to Our Lady, set aside in your home a May altar, placing on it an image of the Blessed Mother, some spring flowers, a candle, and a rosary. As a family, light the candle each day and offer Our Lady some special prayers, such as the rosary, the litany of Mary, or another prayer for the special intentions of the Queen of Peace. Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 30 - Everything is Gods gift Don't limit God - God has all the Grace we need.

Message 25. April 2010
"Dear children! At this time, when in a special way you are praying and seeking my intercession, I call you, little children, to pray so that through your prayers I can help you to have all the more hearts be opened to my messages. Pray for my intentions. I am with you and I intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
 Our Lady said she needs us,  Needs our prayers. Mirjana's Annual March 18, 2010 Message
"Dear children! 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."
 As Fr Corapi says, "We are at war." St Padre Pio said, "Give me my weapon!"The weapon he was talking about was his Rosary. From St Faustina's Diary #961+ This morning after completing my spiritual exercises, I began at once to crochet. I sensed a stillness in my heart; I sensed that Jesus was resting in it. That deep and sweet consciousness of God's presence prompted me to say to the Lord, "O Most Holy Trinity dwelling in my heart, I beg You: grant the grace of conversion to as many souls as the [number of] stitches that I will make today with this crochet hook."  Then I heard these words in my soul: My daughter, too great are your demands. "Jesus, You know that for You it is easier to grant much rather than a little." That is so, it is less difficult for Me to grant a soul much rather than a little, but every conversion of a sinful soul demands sacrifice.  "Well, Jesus, I offer You this whole-hearted work of mine; this offering does not seem to me to be too small for such a large number of souls; You know, Jesus, that for thirty years You were saving souls by just this kind of work. And since holy obedience forbids me to perform great penances and mortifications, therefore I ask You, Lord: accept these mere nothings stamped with the seal of obedience as great things." Then I heard a voice in my soul: My dear daughter, I comply with your request.   "Jesus is everywhere . . . .  Yes, everywhere!  But in His Sacrament of the Altar, as actually present and real as my soul within my body.  In His sacrifice, daily offered, as really as once offered on the Cross.  Merciful Savior!
Can there be any comparison to such blessedness?" (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton)
 Mother Teresa Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. Meditations by Padre PioApr 30 The trials to which the Lord subjects you and will subject you are all signs of divine love and are jewels for the soul. Winter will pass and the never ending spring will come, all the more rich in beauty as violent were the storms (CE 27). Archbishop Fulton Sheen-30-Pride is the child of ignorance"Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire.  So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge." There is only one standard by which we can judge "Proud people think themselves to be better than they are, and when criticized always believe their neighbor is jealous or has a grudge against them. The humble know themselves as they really are, for they judge themselves as they judge time, by a standard outside themselves, namely, God and His Moral Law." St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  - Today the Lord said to me, I have opened My Heart as a living fountain of mercy. Let all souls draw life from it. Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust. Sinners will attain justification, and the just will be confirmed in good. Whoever places his trust in My mercy will be filled with My divine peace at the hour of death.      (1520) Today the Lord said to me, My daughter, write down these words: All those souls who will glorify My mercy and spread its worship, encouraging others to trust in My mercy, will not experience terror at the hour of death. My mercy will shield them in that final battle...      (1540) My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you. It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet. When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one.      (1541) 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. ToAPRIL 30 - EVERYTHING IS GOD'S GIFT Speaking of gratitude, the Blessed Mother once said:"Dear Children, I am calling you to complete surrender to God. Place all that you possess in the hands of God. Only than can you have true joy in your heart. Little Children, rejoice in all that you have and give thanks to God, for everything is God's gift to you. In this way your life will be one of thanksgiving and you shall discover God in everything, even in the smallest flower." (Monthly Message April 25, 1989). In his letter to the Colossians, Paul also speaks of gratitude: As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. (Col 2:6-7). Reflection:Gratitude is a universal language and characterizes the spirituality of most religions. Today let us take a look at gratitude as expressed in the Koran, the holy book of Islam: God is he who created the heavens and the earth and sent down water from the clouds, then brought forth with it the fruits as a sustenance for you… And he has made subservient to you the sun and the moon pursuing their courses, and he has made subservient to you the night and day. And he gives you all that you ask him, and if you count God's favors, you will not be able to number them; surely man is very unjust, very ungrateful. Application:Today, call to mind several reasons in your own life to be grateful to God. Offer a spontaneous prayer of thanksgiving for these gifts. Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 29 - ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA  "[Eucharistic] Adoration such as that is always more than just talking with God in a general way.  But against that could then rightly be voiced the objection that is always to be heard: I can just as well pray in the forest, in the freedom of nature.  Certainly, anyone can.   But if it were only a matter of that, then the initiative of prayer would lie entirely with us; then God would be a mental hypothesis—whether he answers, whether he can answer or wants to, would remain open.  The Eucharist means, God has answered: The Eucharist is God as an answer, as an answering presence" (Pope Benedict XVI). "Praise and glory be to you, O loving Jesus Christ, for the most sacred wound in your side . . . and for your infinite mercy which you made known to us in the opening of your breast to the soldier Longinus, and so to us all.   I pray you, O most gentle Jesus, having redeemed me by baptism from original sin, so
now, by your Precious Blood, which is offered and received throughout the world, deliver me from all evils, past, present and to come" (St. Clare of Assisi).
 Mother Teresa It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving. Meditations by Padre Pio -Apr 29 Walk cheerfully and with a sincere and open heart as much as you can, and when you cannot always maintain this holy joy, at least do not lose heart or your trust in God (Epist IV p 490).   Archbishop Fulton Sheen- There's no happiness in the realm of the ego"The modern tendency is toward the affirmation of the ego, the exaltation of selfishness, riding roughshod over others in order to satisfy our own self-centeredness. It certainly has not produced much happiness, for the more the ego asserts itself the more miserable it becomes." St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  - This firm resolution to become a saint is extremely pleasing to Me. I bless your efforts and will give you opportunities to sanctify yourself Be watchful that you lose no opportunity that My providence offers you for sanctification.  If you do not succeed in taking advantage of an opportunity, do not lose your peace, but humble yourself profoundly before Me and, with great trust, immerse yourself completely in My mercy. In this way, you gain more than you have lost, because more favor is granted to a humble soul than the soul itself asks for...      (1361) Jesus, do not leave me alone in suffering. You know, Lord, how weak I am. I am an abyss of wretchedness, I am nothingness itself; so what will be so strange if You leave me alone and I fall? I am an infant, Lord, so I cannot get along by myself.  However, beyond all abandonment I trust, and in spite of my own feeling I trust, and I am being completely transformed into trust-often in spite of what I feel. Do not lessen any of my sufferings, only give me strength to bear them. Do with me as You please, Lord, only give me the grace to be able to love You in every event and circumstance. Lord, do not lessen my cup of bitterness, only give me strength that I may be able to drink it all. O Lord, sometimes You lift me up to the brightness of visions, and then again You plunge me into the darkness of night and the abyss of my nothingness, and my soul feels as if it were alone in the wilderness. Yet, above all things, I trust in You, Jesus, for You are unchangeable. My moods change, but You are always the same, full of mercy.       (1489) MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAYThese 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. APRIL 29 - ST. CATHERINE OF SIENAToday the Blessed Mother speaks of divine mercy:Pray especially on Sunday that the great sign, a gift from God, may come. Pray with fervor and perseverance that God may have mercy on his great children. Go in peace, my angels. May the blessing of God accompany your. Amen. Goodbye (First Years September 6, 1981). And from Mary's Magnificat in Luke's gospel:By the tender mercy of our God,The dawn from on high will break upon us,To give light to those who sit in darknessAnd the shadow of death,To guide our feet into the way of peace.---Luke 1:78-79 Reflection:Of mercy, St. Catherine of Siena once prayed: "O Lord, by reason of your immeasurable love I beg, with all my strength, that you freely extend your mercy to all your lowly creatures." God's unbounded mercy was one of the great motivations of the ministry and work of St. Catherine. A remarkable woman of faith, she was not only a great scholar and reformer of religious life, but also brought peace and concord to the feuding city-states of Italy in the 14th century. Her many writings include The Dialogue on Divine Providence, from which the following is excerpted: Eternal God, eternal Trinity, you have made the Blood of Christ immeasurably precious through his sharing in your divine nature. You are a mystery as deep as the sea; the more I search, the more I find, and the more I find the more I search for you. I can never be satisfied; what I receive will ever leave me desiring more. When you fill my soul I have an even greater hunger and I grow more famished for your light. I desire above all else to see you, the true light, as you really are. Application: Today, simply offer this little prayer to the Father, also written by St. Catherine: O tender Father, you gave me more, much more than I ever thought to ask for. I realize that our human desires can never really match what you long to give us. Thank you, and thank you again, O Father, for having granted my petitions, and even that which I never realized I needed. Amen. Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 28 - Overcome every temptation "One of the basic characteristics of a shepherd must be to love the people entrusted to him, even as he loves Christ whom he serves. 'Feed my sheep.' says Christ to Peter, and now, at this moment, He says it to me as well.  Feeding means loving, and loving also means being ready to suffer. Loving means giving the sheep what is truly good, the nourishment of God's truth, of God's word, the nourishment of His presence, which He gives us in the blessed Sacrament" (Pope Benedict XVI, April 24, 2005). "If we don't want to be fools and blind the intellect there's no reason for doubt.  Receiving Communion is not like picturing with the imagination, as when we reflect upon the Lord on the cross or in other episodes of the Passion, when we picture within ourselves how things happened to Him in the past.  In Communion the event is happening now, and it is entirely true.  There's no reason to go looking for Him in some other place far away" (St. Teresa of Avila). Mother Teresa It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy. Meditations by Padre Pio -Apr 28 The darkness that sometimes surrounds the heaven of your soul is light. Because of this you think you are in the dark, and you have the impression of being in the centre of a burning bush.  In fact when the bush burns, the air around it is filled with smoke clouds and the bewildered soul is afraid of not seeing, of no longer understanding anything. But it is then that God speaks and is present to the soul: who hears, understands, loves and trembles. Therefore, do not wait for Tabor to see God when you already contemplate Him on Sinai! (GF 174).  Archbishop Fulton Sheen-28-True passion takes guts and courage"To revive passion in hearts, one must first understand it. Passion signifies receiving or suffering something or submitting to something. From this, follow two indispensable conditions for passion: knowledge, and some organic or physical change in our sensible nature." St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -  Today the Lord said to me, My daughter, My pleasure and delight, nothing will stop Me from granting you graces. Your misery does not hinder My mercy. My daughter, write that the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My mercy; [urge] all souls to trust in the unfathomable abyss of My mercy, because I want to save them all. On the cross, the fountain of My mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls-no one have I excluded!      (1182) O my Jesus, nothing can lower my ideals, that is, the love which I have for You. Although the path is very thorny, I do not fear to go ahead. Even if a hailstorm of persecutions covers me; even if my friends forsake me; even if all things conspire against me, and the horizon grows dark; even if a raging storm breaks out, and I feel I am quite alone and must brave it all; still, fully at peace, I will trust in Your mercy, O my God, and my hope will not be disappointed.       (1195) MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY APRIL 28 - OVERCOME EVERY TEMPTATIONThe Blessed Mother warns of temptations today:"Dear Children, you know that I promised you an oasis of peace, but don't realize that beside the oasis stands the desert, where Satan is lurking and wants to tempt each one of you. Dear Children, only through prayer can you overcome every temptation of Satan where you are in your life, I am with you, but I cannot take away your freedom. (Weekly Message August 7, 1986). In Matthew's gospel, Jesus encounters the temptations of Satan:Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, "All these I will give your, if you will fall down and worship me." Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, `Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him." Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him (Mt 4:8-11). Reflection:To be sure, if Christ was subject to temptation, we likewise will have share. And yet, according to the Shepherd of Hermas, an early church write: "The devil cannot lord it over those who are servants of God with their whole heart and who place their hope in him. The devil can wrestle with, but not overcome them." In today's message, Our Lady teaches that only by prayer can we overcome the influence of Satan in our lives. "To realize God's presence," writes Francois Fenelon, "is the one sovereign remedy against temptation." And yet God can even use Satan's wiles for his own ends. As the ancient Hawaiians believed that the strength and color of the enemy he killed passed into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptations we resist. Application: Reflect on the following today: "Inconstancy of mind, and small confidence in God, is the beginning of all evil temptations" (St. Thomas a Kempis). Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 27 - Say "yes!" to Jesus now! Message of April 25, 2006
"Dear children! Also today I call you to have more trust in me and my Son. He has conquered by His death and resurrection and, through me, calls you to be a part of His joy. You do not see God, little children, but if you pray you will feel His nearness. I am with you and intercede before God for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
 Message of April 25, 2005 from Medjugorje
"Dear children! Also today, I call you to renew prayer in your families. By prayer and the reading of Sacred Scripture, may the Holy Spirit, who will renew you, enter into your families. In this way, you will become teachers of the faith in your family. By prayer and your love, the world will set out on a better way and love will begin to rule in the world.

  "Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist, Catholics cannot but feel stimulated to tend towards that full unity for which Christ hoped in the Cenacle. 
Peter's Successor knows that he must take on this supreme desire of the Divine Master in a particularly special way. To him, indeed, has been entrusted the duty of strengthening his brethren . . . . 'Mane nobiscum, Domine!' Stay with us Lord!

Your misery does not hinder My mercy. My daughter, write that the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My mercy; [urge] all souls to trust in the unfathomable abyss of My mercy, because I want to save them all.

Although the path is very thorny, I do not fear to go ahead. Even if a hailstorm of persecutions covers me; even if my friends forsake me; even if all things conspire against me, and the horizon grows dark; even if a raging storm breaks out, and I feel I am quite alone and must brave it all; still, fully at peace, I will trust in Your mercy, O my God, and my hope will not be disappointed.       (1195)  Meditations by Padre Pio   -When there is no time for both, meditation is to be preferred to vocal prayer, because it is more fruitful.  MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY APRIL 27 - SAY YES TO JESUS NOW! In a message to Jelena, the locutionist, on commitment, Our Lady said: « Dear Children, it is truly a great thing when God calls men.

And may your « yes! » be forever. » (locutionist Jelena & Mirijana May 16, 1987). When Christ called his disciples, their « yes » was immediate:As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, « Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men, » Immediately they left their nets and followed him (Mt 4:18-10). Reflection: An anonymous writer once wrote, « There are two words used a great deal by Jesus in the gospels. One is `come' and the other is `go'. It's no use coming unless you go, and it's no use going unless you come. Christ call us, as he did his apostles, to make a commitment, a lifetime decision, for him. And at the right time, we are then sent forth to draw others to him through our word and example. First `come,' then `go' » This is precisely the message of Our Lady today. Application: In your prayer this day, using your own words, commit yourself completely to Christ and his Mother.

Topic: Prophecy Meditation

The Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette, M.AfrMonday, April 12, 2010 

"Do not delay" 

Dear Friends, 

The Lament over Jerusalem 

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying ... "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you were unwilling! Behold, your house will be abandoned, desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" (Matthew 23: 1, 37-39) 

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

"I wept over the holy city of Jerusalem because I knew that it would be destroyed and not one stone would be left upon another. This is because the people had not received their Savior and instead they had arrested Him and condemned Him to die on the cross. In the past they had killed the prophets whom the Father had sent to them, as they did not want to accept the message sent to them by the Father. 

Many other cities who refused to accept Me were also destroyed such as Capernaum, Bethsaida and others. At the time of Abraham, there was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, two sinful cities that would not follow their God. Look at the punishment that was given to the chosen people in the desert when they turned against God the Father and wanted to return to Egypt. 

There are many cities and places today that are cesspools of sin and they too if they do not repent of their sins and change their lives will receive the same fate. I call upon all the peoples of the world to accept Me as their Savior and to repent of their sins. Otherwise major disasters and meltdowns will bring great sufferings to many people. Return now to your Creator and Lord and amend your lives and you will live in peace and you will be protected. I came to save you so you need to cooperate with Me so I can work for you. I am ready to help you. Do not delay, turn to Me now."

"Have confidence in Me" 

Dear Friends, 

Jesus Forgives His Executioners 

When the soldiers came to the place called the Skull, they crucified Jesus and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left. Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." (Luke 23:33-34) 

Below you will find the message given by Our Merciful Lord to Joseph. He spoke to him these words, 

"My Father in heaven is merciful and that is why He sent Me to live on earth so I could teach you about His mercy. I am full of mercy for all of you and that is the reason why I agreed to suffer and die for you so that you would be covered with the mercy of God. 

We know that you are all weak and that you are bent toward sin. All of you have sinned and without the mercy of the Father you would never enter heaven-sin bars you from eternal happiness in heaven. Knowing how weak you are, I came with great love for all of you to take all your sins upon Myself and to pay the price for them. I agreed to suffer My horrible agony and to die an atrocious death on the cross to free you from your sins, if you repent, and to give you all the graces you need. 

Our Heavenly Father sees My sacrifice on the cross and He is full of mercy for all those who believe in Me and are truly sorry for all their sins. I have given you the Sacrament of Mercy, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, to take away your sins in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. You also receive the grace of the Sacrament, which strengthens you to follow the commandments of the Father and to avoid sin. 

My dear friends, every day throw yourselves on My Divine Mercy and truly repent and you will be blessed. My mercy is as deep as the ocean so bathe yourselves in it and come and follow Me. Have confidence in Me and you will be the beloved of the Father."

"I love you all" 

Dear Friends, 

The First Community in Jerusalem 

When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers." (Acts 1:13-14) 

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

"I bless you all, My dear sons and daughters, who are so dear to My heart. I am your Mother who prays for you and intercedes for you before My Beloved Son Jesus. Fifty days after His resurrection from the dead, I was with the Apostles and others in the upper room in Jerusalem praying and waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit. We had been praying for ten days for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and it was on Pentecost that He came upon all those present in the room. It was on that day that the Church of My Son was born with the baptism of many people. 

The Holy Spirit was sent upon the Apostles and others by the Father and My Son Jesus, the Son of God. The Holy Spirit filled us all in a wonderful experience to begin a new stage of life for the Apostles and all those who believed in their Savior. They received the power from on high to begin the work they were asked to do by Jesus, My Son. 

Begin, My children, to prepare yourselves too for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit once more. I want you all to receive the New Pentecost, a new infilling of the Holy Spirit. Prepare yourselves spiritually for this great event. I am praying that you all, who have faith, may receive this strengthening very soon. I love you all."

"Do not be afraid" 

Dear Friends, 

The Question about David's Son 

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them, saying, "What is your opinion about the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They replied, "David's." He said to them, "How, then, does David, inspired by the Spirit, call him 'lord,' saying: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet"'? If David calls him 'lord,' how can he be his son?" No one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare to ask him any more questions. (Matthew 22:41-46) 

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

"I am indeed the Son of King David, the greatest King of Israel. My Father had told him that a descendant would inherit his throne and he would be King forever. He called Me 'Lord' and indeed I am his Lord and the Lord of all the people as I am the Son of God. I came on earth in humility to show you the way to My Father and your Father. I offered the Father the greatest sacrifice He could receive and this was the sacrifice of Myself on the cross for you all. Now I am risen from the dead and I am your Lord and Savior. 

These days I am rejected in many parts of the world and My Church is persecuted. The world is against Me and many would like to erase My name from the face of the world. However, I know that many people are My dear followers and they have offered their lives completely to Me. Yes, they love Me and they also love My Church. Pray that this attack of the evil one may stop and pray too that all the bishops, priests and faithful may give a good example and live a moral life. May they defend the moral teachings I gave them especially as regards the unborn and the sanctity of marriage. Those who are for abortion and same-sex marriage are not My friends. Do not be afraid to fight the good fight even if you have to suffer at times. I bless you."

"Do not delay" 

Dear Friends, 

The Question of the Resurrection 

On that day Sadducees approached him, saying that there is no resurrection. They put this question to him, saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up descendants for his brother.' Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died and, having no descendants, left his wife to his brother. The same happened with the second and the third, through all seven. Finally the woman died. Now at the resurrection, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had been married to her." Jesus said to them in reply, "You are misled because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven. And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching. (Matthew 22:23-33) 

Here below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer whose resurrection we celebrated on Easter Sunday. This is what Jesus said to Joseph, 

"Some of the Jews especially the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection. They thought that when a person dies, his or her body is buried and rots away and there is no such thing as an afterlife. This of course is wrong as the Father taught that every person will live forever. They will die but their soul will live on and at the Last Judgment the body will come back to life. All are called to follow Me so they can enjoy everlasting happiness in heaven. 

I am your Savior and at the same time I am the Son of God. I suffered and died on the cross and I was buried; on the third day I came back to life. I am the first person to be resurrected from the dead. Even the Apostles had difficulty believing in the resurrection. They could not believe that I had come back from the dead. My resurrection is a great demonstration to you all that one day you too will rise from the dead. Prepare yourselves that at the Last Judgment you will be on My right and you will come with Me to heaven. Do not delay in coming to Me because if you wait it could be too late. I am here ready to welcome you as My dear brother or sister. I love you."

Medjugorje Day by Day Apr 13 - CONTINUALLY GIVE THANKS

 

St Faustina's Diary #961 - She asked for a soul for every stitch. Jesus gave it to her. ASK FOR A SOUL for every WORD you say on your Rosary & Divine Mercy Chaplet

 

 

 "[Jesus] is Immanuel, the God with us, the divine Friend who alone has the words of eternal life!  He is the light in darkness.  He is our joy because we know that He loves each of us . . . . Do not forget that Jesus willed to remain, personally and really, in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, March 11, 1979).

 

 

Mother Teresa 
I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Rest assured that the more a soul is pleasing to God, the more it must be tried. Therefore, courage, and go forward always (Letters III p 401).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The Resurrection convinced the greatest skeptics: The Apostles!

"What is most peculiar about Easter is that although His followers had heard Him say He would break the bonds of death, when He actually did, no one believed it. They had to be convinced beyond all shadow of a doubt. Of all the skeptics in the history of the world, none ever equaled the Apostles and the disciples and the holy women. Voltaire and the like were credulous babes compared to them in skepticism. Contemporary attempts to explain away the belief in the Resurrection psychologically fail to take this doubt into account."

 

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

Amid the greatest torments, I fix the gaze of my soul upon Jesus Crucified; I do not expect help from people, but place my trust in God. In His unfathomable mercy lies all my hope.       (681)

Once, as I was going down the hall to the kitchen, I heard these words in my soul: Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire that the whole world know My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy.      (687)

Suddenly I heard these words in my soul: My daughter, I assure you of a permanent income on which you will live. Your duty will be to trust completely in My goodness, and My duty will be to give you all you need. I am making Myself dependent upon your trust: if your trust is great, then My generosity will be without limit.      (548)

APRIL 13 - CONTINUALLY GIVE THANKS

The Blessed Mother speaks of joy and thanksgiving today:

Dear children, today I invite you all to rejoice in the life which God has given you. Little children, rejoice in God the Creator for he has created you so wonderfully.

In your prayer, ask that your life be one of joyful thanksgiving, which flows from your heart like a river of joy. Little children, continually give thanks for all that you possess, for even the little gifts, which God has given you. In this way, a joyful blessing will always come down form God upon your life (Monthly Message August 25, 1988).

Psalm 92 also rings with the spirit of joy and thanksgiving:

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, To sing praise to your name, O Most High; To declare your steadfast love in the morning, And your faithfulness by night, To the music of the flute and the harp, To the melody of the lyre. For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; At the works of your hands I sing for joy. Psalm 92:1- 4

Reflection:

A spirit of gratitude and joy always accompanies our spiritual journey to God. In quiet moments of prayer we can recognize the beautiful array of gifts the Lord has bestowed on us. The following verses by an anonymous poet were written in that spirit:

Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with golden hair; I envied her---she seemed so gay---and wished I were as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; She had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile… Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I'm blessed, indeed! The world is mine… With feet to take me where I'd go, With eyes to see the sunset's glow, With ears to hear what I would know, Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I'm blessed indeed! The world is mine.

Application:

Today, simply spend several minutes reflecting of God's gifts and expressing your gratitude for them.

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 12 - DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER

 

St Faustina's Diary #961 - She asked for a soul for every stitch. Jesus gave it to her. ASK FOR A SOUL for every WORD you say on your Rosary & Divine Mercy Chaplet

 

"Christians ought to be committed to bearing more forceful witness to God's [Eucharistic] presence in the world. We should not be afraid to speak about God and to bear proud witness to our faith" (Pope John Paul II, Mane Nobiscum Domine, 26).  

 

Mother Teresa -
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

 

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Take heart and don't fear the gloomy wrath of Lucifer. Always remember this, that it is a good sign when the enemy makes an uproar and roars around your will, as this shows you that he is not within you. Courage, my most beloved daughter, I offer you these words with great feeling and in Jesus; courage I say! There is no need to fear when we can say with determination, even if without feeling: "Long live Jesus!" (Letters III p 414).

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen-

There seems to be no rational for the rationalization of the Intelligentsia.

"Intelligentsia do not become members of a sect for an intellectual reason. That is why when discussing the sect with them, they never seem to understand it. Instead of a `reason' for becoming a member, they have only an `intention,' namely the desire to escape boredom. Their motives are alien to the rational."

 

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

  

Love casts out fear. Since I came to love God with my whole being and with all the strength of my heart, fear has left me. Even if I were to hear the most terrifying things about God's justice, I would not fear Him at all, because I have come to know Him well. God is love, and His Spirit is peace. I see now that my deeds which have flowed from love are more perfect than those which I have done out of fear. I have placed my trust in God and fear nothing. I have given myself over to His holy will; let Him do with me as He wishes, and I will still love Him.       (589)

I have noticed many times that God tries certain people on account of those things about which He spoke to me, for mistrust displeases Jesus. Once, when I saw that God had tried a certain Archbishop [Jalbrzykowski] because he was opposed to the cause and distrustful of it, I felt sorry for him and pleaded with God for him, and God relieved his suffering. God is very displeased with lack of trust in Him, and this is why some souls lose many graces. Distrust hurts His most sweet Heart, which is full of goodness and incomprehensible love for us. A priest should sometimes be distrustful in order to better ascertain the genuineness of gifts bestowed on a given soul; and when he does so in order to direct the soul to deeper union with God, his will be a great and incomprehensible reward indeed. But there is a great difference between this and disrespect and distrust of divine graces in a soul simply because one cannot comprehend and penetrate these things with one's mind, and this latter is displeasing to the Lord. I greatly pity souls who encounter inexperienced priests.       (595)

APRIL 12 - DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER

The Blessed Mother speaks of her favorite subject today:

Dear children, today I call you to renew family prayer in your homes. Now that the work in the fields is over, devote yourselves to prayer. Let prayer take first place in your families (WM 11-1-84).

In Psalm 3, David speaks of attaining God's safety through prayer:

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,

my Glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

I cry aloud to the Lord,

and he answers me from his holy hill.

I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, for the Lord sustains me. Psalm 3:3-5

Reflection: One of the gifts that often accompanies deep prayer is serenity, a sense of being safe in the hands of God. In this spirit St. Teresa of Avila wrote:

Let nothing disturb you,

Nothing frighten you;

All things are passing;

God never changes;

Patient endures

Attains to all things;

Who God possesses

In nothing is wanting;

Alone God suffices.

In view of this peace, it would not seem difficult to live the Madonna's call to devote ourselves to prayer.

And the fruit of prayer, of course, is serenity.

Application: Try to remain in quiet prayer today until you feel the peace of God within your heart.

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY

 

Ask for a soul for every word in your Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet

 

"May the Virgin Mary preserve us in the joy of continually receiving the graces of the Savior . . . the very gift of God Himself, Who dwells with us in His Word, His Spirit and His Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II). 

 

Mother Teresa  -
I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Be firmly convinced that the more the assaults of the enemy increase, the closer God is to the soul. Think of, and ponder well, this great and comforting truth (Letter III p 417)

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen-

Socializers' denial of morality and virtue make their world darker.

 

"If socializers' behavior were better, they would be truly religious people and do much good for society. They look for a cause which will leave them alone with their individual vices. They swallow the devil's line also because its anti-religious character satisfies their desire to expunge from the world all ideas of morality and virtue, the infractions against which have made them so uneasy in the dark."

In looking for purpose, bored Intelligentsia clamor for freedom and find it not within but without where they can disavow individual responsibility.

"The third group who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line are Bored Intelligentsia. Their education should have given them a goal or a purpose of life. Having failed to do so, their knowledge is nothing but a crazy quilt of unrelated facts and undigested bits of information. The want of unity both in their moral life and their knowledge makes them desirous of unity, but not a unity from within which demands moral stamina, but a unity from without. Certain sects provide that for them. They no longer have to think; the sect does the thinking for them. They now have a mission, a sense of belonging to a totality, and one in which they are no longer bored by their freedom, having surrendered it to the collective ant hill of the sect."

 

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

 

 On one occasion, I saw Jesus in a bright garment; this was in the greenhouse. [He said to me,] Write what I say to you. My delight is to be united with you. With great desire, I wait and long for the time when I shall take up My residence sacramentally in your convent. My spirit will rest in that convent and I will bless its neighborhood in a special way. Out of love for you all, I will avert any punishments which are rightly meted out by My Father's justice. My daughter, I have inclined My heart to your requests. Your assignment and duty here on earth is to beg for mercy for the whole world. No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy. On that day, priests are to tell everyone about My great and unfathomable mercy. I am making you the administrator of My mercy. Tell the confessor that the Image is to be on view in the church and not within the enclosure in that convent. By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it.      (570)

 

  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.

 

APRIL 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY

Our Lady speaks of love today:

"Dear Children, I thank you for the love which you have shown me. You know, dear children, that I love you immeasurably, and that I pray to the Lord daily that he may help you to realize more fully the love which I bear you. That is why, dear children, pray, pray, pray (Weekly Month August 21, 1986).

Paul also speaks of love:

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these of love (1 Cor 13:12-13).

Reflection:

Clearly love is the very essence of God's nature and the motivating force of our faith. We could spend our lives attempting to fathom its depth.

For centuries, writers and poets have sought to express God's love in their verse. In modern times, one beautiful passage was written by Major Malcolm Boyle, who was killed in action after the landing on D-day in June, 1944. He had written the following lines in his Bible:

If I should never see the moon again Rising red gold across the harvest field, Or feel the stinging of soft April rain, As the brown earth her hidden treasures yield.

If I should never taste the salt sea spray As the ship beats her course against the breeze, Or smell the dog-rose and the new mown hay, Or moss and primrose beneath the tree.

If I should never hear the thrushes wake Long before the sunrise in the glimmering dawn. Or watch the huge Atlantic rollers break Against the rugged cliffs in baffling scorn.

If I have said goodbye to stream and wood, To the wide ocean and the green clad hill, I know that he who made this world so good Has somewhere made a heaven better still.

This I bear witness with my latest breath Knowing the love of God, I fear not death.

Application:

Let us pray especially today to more fully comprehend the love of God

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 09 - I call you to humility

 

"The Church has received the Eucharist from Christ her Lord not as one gift – however precious – among so many others, but as the gift par excellence, for it is the gift of himself, of his person in his sacred humanity, as well as the gift of his saving work. Nor does it remain confined to the past, since 'all that Christ is – all that he did and suffered for all men – participates in the divine eternity, and so transcends all times'" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 11). 

 

Mother Teresa-
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Temptations against faith and purity are the merchandise offered by the enemy, but do not fear him, rather, despise him. As long as he makes an uproar it is a sign that he has not yet possessed the will. Don't be upset by what you experience through the work of this rebellious angel. Let your will always be contrary to his suggestions, and live tranquilly, because you are not at fault, but rather, you please God and gain progress for your soul (Letters III p426).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen-

Those who hate love company!

"Finding a group which collectivizes and intensifies their hatred, those who hate swallow the hook, not so much because of what they admire in the group, but because of what they hate outside the group which socializes their hatred."

 

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

Sunday, [April] 28, 1935. Low Sunday; that is, the Feast of the Divine Mercy, the conclusion of the Jubilee of Redemption. When we went to take part in the celebrations, my heart leapt with joy that the two solemnities were so closely united. I asked God for mercy on the souls of sinners.

 

 Toward the end of the service, when the priest took the Blessed Sacrament to bless the people, I saw the Lord Jesus as He is represented in the image. The Lord gave His blessing, and the rays extended over the whole world. Suddenly, I saw an impenetrable brightness in the form of a crystal dwelling place, woven together from waves of a brilliance unapproachable to both creatures and spirits. Three doors led to this resplendence.

 

At that moment, Jesus, as He is represented in the image, entered this resplendence through the second door to the Unity within. It is a triple Unity, which is incomprehensible-which is infinity. I heard a voice, This Feast emerged from the very depths of My mercy, and it is confirmed in the vast depths of My tender mercies. Every soul believing and trusting in My mercy will obtain it. I was overjoyed at the immense goodness and greatness of my God.       (420)

 

 

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.

 

APRIL 9 - I CALL YOU TO HUMILITY-

The Blessed Mother speaks of humility in this message from 1985:

"Dear Children, today I call you to humility. These days all of you have felt a great joy because of all the people who have come here, and to whom you spoke with love about your experiences. With humility and an open heart, continue to speak with all those who are coming." (Weekly Message June 27, 1985).

In this great act of humility, the Creator is baptized by the created:

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?" But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." Then he consented. (Mt 3:13-15).

Reflection:

Humility is not to be confused with humiliation, which is really degradation. Humility is simply seeing ourselves as God sees us, weak and prone to sin, yet made in his likeness and image. Apart form God we are nothing, yet with him we are the heirs of kingdom.

This spirit of humility can be gleaned in remarks Florence Nightingale once made about her career:

If I could give you information on my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God, in strange and unaccustomed paths, to do in his service what he has done for her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard that is all, and I have never refused God anything.

Thoreau wrote that, "Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights."" We are called as well to recognize and proclaim that light as it shines in our own lives.

Application:

Today, begin to live Our Lady's message on humility, realizing that it is a virtue that rests upon the knowledge of God and of oneself.

St Padre Pio said, "Give me my weapon!"

 

Don't limit God

God has all the Grace we need. All we have to do is ask for them. 

 

ASK FOR A SOUL for every WORD you say on your Rosary

AND your Chaplet of Divine Mercy

 

Our Lady said she needs us,  Needs our prayers.

 

Pass this on to all you know, especially Rosary leaders.

 

As Fr Corapi says, "We are at war." 

 

St Padre Pio said, "Give me my weapon!"

 

The weapon he was talking about was his Rosary.

St. Luke saw Maryam and painted her picture, according to the metaphysical literature, on a kitchen table top… Hmmmmmmmm If Maryam was dark, might not her son, Yeshua, be as well?


Our Lady's message to Mirjana - April 2, 2010


The visionary Mirjana experienced her monthly apparition today when Our Lady typically comes to pray with her for unbelievers. During the apparition, Our Lady gave this message:


"Dear children; Today I bless you in a special way and I pray for you to return to the right way to my Son - your Saviour, your Redeemer – to Him who gave you eternal life. Reflect on everything human, on everything that does not permit you to set out after my Son – on transience, imperfection and limitation - and then think of my Son, of His Divine infiniteness. By your surrender and prayer ennoble your body and perfect your soul. Be ready, my children. Thank you."


According to Mirjana, Our Lady blessed all the people and religious articles present. Mirjana saw a large golden Cross behind Our Lady as she was leaving.

"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."


"Today I invoke you, do not be concerned for the opinions of others. It is Me you must appeal to. Please Me by searching out the truth of these Messages and the genuineness of the graces offered here at Heaven's site of predilection."


"There will always be those who will disagree. I tell you, in future generations all of this will be upheld and verified as real. There are those alive today who will witness great signs here. But I am most pleased with those who search out the truth before being given great signs."

St. Peter says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"When you arise in the morning you should remember to offer the entire day to Jesus. Ask Him, Who is All Wisdom, to help you to recognize temptations at their inception. The more you sacrifice, the easier it is for you to recognize Satan's traps and avoid them. Then you can journey deeper into the Chambers of the United Hearts - those Sacred Chambers revealed here for the first time to humanity."


March 25, 2010 Feast of The Annunciation


Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"I have come today as I always do with the permission of My Son. I invite the world to peacefully submit to God's Divine Will. This is impossible to the proud and arrogant heart, for such a one holds self-interest in his future. If I had done so many centuries ago, I never would have given My 'fiat' which you celebrate today. But as it was, My Heart was always predisposed to trust."


"The trusting heart cannot fear. It is not insecure and, therefore, is not envious or greedy. The trusting heart respects the reputation of others for he lives in Holy Love. Holy Love manifests itself in trustful surrender to God's Will. The soul that trusts is not burdened, then, with anxiety about what might happen in the future. He knows God will sustain him through His Divine Providence."


"Today I come especially to call all people and all nations to unity in Holy Love; this is the road to peace. It is the path and the solution God chooses for you. Holy Love is God's Divine Mercy on earth. My Son is calling all leaders - government leaders and religious leaders - to be united in Holy Love. No longer oppose one another or distance yourselves from those God has given you to lead. Be one in the Heart of the Eternal Father. God is not in conflict, whether in ideologies or in aggressive actions against one another."


"God is in His Commandments - the embodiment of which is Holy Love." "Be disarmed of your weapons, whether they be weapons of mass destruction or words. Do not oppose good with self-righteousness. The judgment will fall upon you. Embrace God's Commandments of Love. Live in the truth."


March 26, 2010


Public


(Temptation)


St. Peter says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"Never believe that you can readily uncover the ways in which Satan tempts you. He knows your heart better than you do. He knows how to use your emotions and your senses to lead you into sin. He is the master of disguises and often comes clothed in goodness. He convolutes truth, helping you to accept his lies."


"This is why you must embrace Holy Love with your whole heart. Holy Love is the essence of goodness - the path of holiness and the secret weapon enabling you to uncover evil. Once again I remind you, that which opposes Holy Love is not from Heaven but from Satan. It is important to let Holy Love consume your heart so that every thought, word and deed is Holy Love." "This is the way to avoid temptation."

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, when you come to Me in prayer, recall great devotion to Our United Hearts. Pray with loving hearts, and every prayer will be heard." "My Blessing extends to your extended family tonight, as I impart to you My Blessing of Divine Love."

"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."


"These days, My brothers and sisters, there are many accusations being bandied about concerning the inner politics within the established Church. I am asking you, do not allow yourselves to get caught up in what may be true or may have occurred. Maintain your faith through the title of My Mother - Mary, Protectress of the Faith. She will help you to keep your focus on what is true - My Real Presence in the tabernacle."


"In the same way, I am asking all people and all nations not to listen to rumors and false statements issued concerning this Mission and these Messages. Keep your focus on Heaven's presence here at this site, and in these Messages themselves. Mary, Protectress of the Faith will assist you in this effort, as well."


"Always try to focus on the positive, not the negative. I come here not to tear down, but to build up in Holy Love."

St. Thomas Aquinas says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"I tell you, the soul that does not live in the truth does not live in reality; therefore, all the decisions and opinions of such a one are tainted with evil. You can see, then, that anyone who leads must also embrace the truth; otherwise, those who follow him are easily led astray."


"Jesus is not part of any lie. He is Truth Itself. Any lie eats away at reality; therefore, destroying some part of the Kingdom of God." "True peace of heart and world peace must be built upon the truth of Holy Love - that is reality."

Chaplet of the Holy Wounds of Jesus


For The Liturgical church


RUSSIAN BLACK MADONNA


Chaplet of the Holy Wounds of Jesus


(Prayed on ordinary Rosary beads)


To be said on the Crucifix and the first three beads:


O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen. Strong God, holy God, immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.


Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers; cover us with Your Precious Blood. Amen.


Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son; grant us mercy, we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen.


The following prayers, composed by Our Lord, are to be said.

On the large beads: Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of our souls.


On the small beads: My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.


Promises of Our Lord for those who are Devoted to His Wounds


At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.


Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an immense fortune.


Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will be My crown of glory in Heaven!


I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds. You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be obtained.


From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace. You can always purify yourself in My Wounds. My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them, you will always find a new love. My wounds will cover all your sins.


Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions, even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit and will please My Heart.


In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.


When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds, and the pain will be alleviated.


This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and body.


A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls."


There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give true life.


This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.


Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.


The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.


The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.


The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the Church.

Tuesday Holy Week - Novena For World Peace/Retreat Las Vegas, NV Message from Jesus to Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette


Melvin, I Love you for I offered My Supreme Sacrifice for you and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me and those who will believe in me in the future.


My sacrifice is still occurring today because it is an ETERNAL SACRIFICE that will never have an end. My Heavenly Father sees Me nailed to the Cross and dying at all times and He knows that I offered Myself TOTALLY to HIM for you to all have salvation.


I call you all to come to My Cross today and every day and join me as I suffer atrociously for your sins and ask Me for the Graces and Strength to avoid sin always. Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession at least once a month. Become aware of the horrible offense sin is to the Father and to me, that it caused Me so much suffering.


Once all your sins are taken away you can live the New Life, which I brought you. It is a life of grace which brings you very close to Me, who is your Great Friend.


Do not follow anymore the ways of the world but walk in friendship with Me, your Savior and your Friend. Come to prayer everyday and your holiness will grow daily. I bless you all with My Love, My Peace and My Joy! I love you

Wednesday Holy Week - Novena For World Peace/Retreat Las Vegas, NV Message from Jesus to Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette


Melvin, My brother, I speak to you in your heart. I love you and all My faithful brothers and sisters who believe in me and offer their lives to Me.


You will all have your share of suffering. This suffering is the sharing in My Cross which brought Me much pain and finally death. If you offer your suffering to the Father, together with all I suffered then your suffering will be redemptive suffering as you will join with Me and My Holy Mother in doing your part for the salvation of the world. Offer to the Father through Me your sufferings every day and it will bring much help to many people.


Your life will not only be suffering, you will always be with Me and I will give you great peace, a heart full of love and a joy that the world cannot give. Your life will be truly meaningful for you will have a great purpose to live, namely, to grow daily in your love of Me and of your neighbor.


However, you will be tested to prove that your love is genuine and that you are humble. You know that I love a humble heart and such friends are Blessed indeed. Do not worry about tomorrow but know that I AM taking care of you. Make use of all the Graces I give you today. Remain in My Love. I Bless you all.

There is no one My friends who loves you as I do I came down on earth to live with you because I want you with Me.

Love and Mercy!


We attended the 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions.


I made an Act Of Contrition prior to receiving Holy Communion, and after receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ; I knelt in silent commune with Jesus.


Praying for forgiveness of my sins and asking Jesus to guide my footsteps, I prayed, “Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.”


Jesus responded to my prayer and speaking to my heart imparted these words; “My child Eileen, all My children were fashioned after My own heart. Sin divides our hearts. Love and mercy eradicates sin. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.”

Then God the Father spoke, "What has started in the northern most region of the Atlantic Ocean where it comes in contact with the Acrtic Ocean there will be more fire and ice which will affect the glaciers both below the sea and above the sea. It is going to cause much never before seen disasters, havoc, floods around the entire world. Beware for all has begun."

I pray as we enter this most holy of times, that every spiritual blessing descend to each and every one of you. I dedicate time before the blessed Sacrament in prayer asking Jesus for all of you and I especially take those who write to me with prayer requests. I, in return, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for I can certainly feel them. Please email me your prayer requests or any questions you might have. I take them all to the Lord in my prayers, Masses, and rosaries.


Monthly Message as given to Anne, a lay apostle


On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about his call to service. April 1, 2010


Jesus


My dear apostles, I am with you. I am present in every challenge you experience. I see your struggle and I provide everything you need to serve Me in each day. If you have given Me your day, then the day belongs to Me. Your self-will has been offered to heaven and heaven exchanges it for My will. How do you experience this? On most days your experience of serving Me is a mystery to you.


How could it be otherwise when you are seeing with eyes that have not yet been exposed to the divine vision? Day after day, you offer your will to Me and day after day, I use your offering to gently push Myself through you to others. Do you feel successful? Or do you feel, at times, that you are unsuccessful? Poor little apostles, I understand your questions and I understand your doubts.


I assure you, in My human experience, I did not feel successful at every moment. My experience was often much to the contrary. I often experienced the temptation to believe that I was failing the Father. I sometimes, in moments of human temptation, wondered if, in fact, love was enough.


Could love succeed in turning hearts to goodness? Could love succeed in persuading God’s children to accept the Father’s beautiful plan for humanity? Yes, please believe that I suffered temptation. And now, you suffer temptation. Together, our temptations suffered for the Father, bring soothing graces to others. You, My beautiful apostle, serve despite temptations to abandon Me. Where others leave, you endure. You endure for Me, as I endured for you.


From My perspective, all is well, despite your suffering. My plan is perfect and if you are serving Me, listening to My voice, there are no problems. If you are not serving Me and you are not listening to My voice, then there are many problems for you and there will continue to be many problems for you. ‘Ah’, you say, ‘Jesus, I am listening to you and still I have these problems’.


We must differentiate small problems from big problems. Small problems are the sufferings you bear for the sake of the divine will. Big problems are the problems you face when you abandon My will and insert your own will. Are you praying? Are you in steady communication with Me? Do you ask Me what I want you to do in situations where you are unsure? Do you spend time in silence, considering heaven and heaven’s plan for you in the day?


Answer yes to these questions and I assure you, your problems will be manageable. Do not believe I ignore your sighs or turn away from your fears. I am with you. I will never abandon you. My plan will be realised through your perseverance and through the perseverance of many apostles like you.


I am so pleased when you pray for each other because this is how you experience, in advance, My gratitude. You see My gratitude in the graces received by others through your intercession. Rejoice. I am responding to your pain and answering your prayers. Truly, I am with you.


Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 02- Pray to understand the Fathers will


Message to Mirjana on April 2, 2009


"Dear children, God's love is in my words. My children, that is the love which desires to turn you to justice and truth. That is the love which desires to save you from delusion. And what about you, my children? Your hearts remain closed; they are hard and do not respond to my calls. They are insincere. With a motherly love I am praying for you, because I desire for all of you to resurrect in my Son. Thank you."


"In the Virgin's example of silent and fruitful listening, contemplation helps grasp the presence of the Living One in the Eucharist and aids in transfiguring the deaths that mark the earthly city into a commitment for life and hope in the resurrection" (Pope John Paul II, Servant of God).

 


"You, eternal Father, are the table that offers us as food the Lamb, your only-begotten Son. He is the most exquisite of foods for us . . . that we receive in Holy Communion, which feeds and strengthens us while we are pilgrim travelers in this life" (St. Catherine of Siena).

 


Mother Teresa- Never let anything so fill you with pain or sorrow so as to make you forget the joy of Christ Risen.

 


Meditations by Padre Pio - Apr 2 It is necessary to be strong to become great: this is our duty. Life is a struggle from which we cannot withdraw, but we must triumph (CE,33).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Where is the true passion of politics?


"Because we hate certain things, other passions which are related to struggle with difficulties also arise... Coming back to want of fire and enthusiasm in our politicians, the reason is rather obvious. They have no great central overwhelming cause to which they are dedicated with the full fervor of their being, and they have no great shock at evil or wrong."


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


APRIL 2 - PRAY TO UNDERSTAND THE FATHER'S LOVE


Our Lady speaks of understanding the will of the Father and his love:


O children! Remember that the only way you can be always with me, and know the will of the Father, is to pray. That is why I call you again today. Do not let my calls go unheeded. Above all else, continue to pray, for then you will understand the Father's will and his love for you (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana May 16, 1987)


.In Matthew's gospel, Christ also speaks of the Father and his promised reward to those who pray:


And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father in secret; and then your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you (Mt 6:5-6).


Reflection:


Prayer to God the Father is powerful, for among other things, "you will understand the Father's will and his love for you," as Mary tells us today. Humble prayer, "in secret", as Jesus advises in our gospel reading is always heard by the Father and swiftly answered.


The following "Petition to God" was dictated to Jelena, one of the Medjugorje locutionists, by the Blessed Mother. It was distributed throughout the church by the priest at Medjugorje. Let us offer it in response to the Virgin's message today:


O God, our hearts are deeply obscured, despite our bond to your heart. Our hearts are rent between you and Satan; between good and evil; enlighten and unify them with your grace. Do not permit two loves to exist in us, or two faiths; grant that we may never be torn between lying and sincerity, love and hatred, honesty and dishonesty, humility and pride.


Help us to raise our hearts to you like those of children. May you renew and fill our hearts with peace; may the longing for peace grow within us. May your holy will and love dwell in us that we may truly desire to be your children. Remember our past devotion and help us to again receive your Spirit.


With open hearts we seek that you will be done in us. With open souls we seek your tender mercy. May your mercy strengthen us to recognize our sins which make us impure. Lord God, we wish to be your children, humble and devout, sincere and cherished, as you desire us to be.


And may you, brother Jesus, intercede with the Father, that he may bless us with his goodness and inspire us to respond with goodness. Help us, Lord Jesus, to comprehend the Father's infinite love and manifold gifts, that we may never fail to please him with works of love and peace. Amen.


Application:


Offer this Petition to God once more today, perhaps this evening. May it be a prayer from your heart.


Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 01 - May you be the hope and joy of mankind


"Mankind will not have


"Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy," Jesus told St. Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament, "Adore, in the Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy." "I want Adoration to take place . . . for the intention of imploring Mercy for the world." (Divine Mercy Diary, 300, 1572, & 1070)


Mother Teresa - "The cross is the proof that He loved us and the Tabernacle is the proof that He loves us now with tender compassion".

 


The Cross is a thorny fruit which outside is most pungent. After the thorns and bark are removed, one finds a precious and savory fruit, that only she who has the patience to endure the annoyance of the punctures, can come to discover the secret of the preciousness and the taste of that fruit. And only she who has come to discover this secret keeps it with love. And all the others look at it with contempt and despise it.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Apr 1 Doesn't the Holy Spirit tells us that when the soul approaches God it must be prepared for temptations? Courage, therefore, courage my good daughter. Fight valiantly and you will receive the prize of strong souls (Letters III, p. 427).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The Passion of Love and Hate


"The root of all passions are love and its opposite, hate. Hence our passions are either for the pursuit of what we love, or escape from what we hate."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus, lover of human salvation, draw all souls to the divine life. May the greatness of Your mercy be praised here on earth and in eternity. O great lover of souls, who in Your boundless compassion opened the salutary fountains of mercy so that weak souls may be fortified in this life's pilgrimage, Your mercy runs through our life like a golden thread and maintains in good order the contact of our being with God. For He does not need anything to make Him happy; so everything is solely the work of His mercy. My senses are transfixed with joy when God grants me a deeper awareness of that great attribute of His; namely, His unfathomable mercy. (1466)


Jesus, hide me in Your mercy and shield me against everything that might terrify my soul. Do not let my trust in Your mercy be disappointed. Shield me with the omnipotence of Your mercy, and judge me leniently as well. (1480)


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.


APRIL 1 - MAY YOU BE THE JOY OF MANKIND


The Blessed Virgin speaks of joy today:


"Dear Children, persevere in prayer so that your hearts may be filled with joy. Dear children, may you be the hope and joy of mankind, But you can only achieve this through prayer. Pray, pray! (Visionary Prayer Group May 3rd, 1986).


In his prayer to the Father, Jesus speaks of conveying his joy to his disciples:


While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded the, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves (Jn17:12-13)


Reflection:


Joy is a unique quality of the Christian life. It seems to be born of trust in God's love for us and for all aspects of our lives. Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries, recently gave a sermon on Our Lady's messages of prayer and joy.


Here, in part, is what he said:


Normally, after meeting someone, you need time to get to know him, tell him about yourself, exchange views, and so forth. However, if our prayer only consists of an occasional "hello" to someone who only occupies a corner of our lives, then we probably aren't going to experience great joy.


The problem is that we all want joy but we're not willing to follow the path that leads to its source: prayer from the heart. That is why Our Lady asks us so urgently to, "pray, pray!" It is the means to happiness.


Application:


Today the Mother of God asks that we make our hearts, "joyful through the means of prayer." To this end, try to extend and deepen your prayer so that you will more fully experience that joy.


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 29 - Wipe the tears from my face


"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).

 


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

 


Mother Teresa - The first step to becoming holy is to will it. St. Thomas says, " Sanctity consists in nothing else than a firm resolve, the heroic act of a soul abandoning himself to God. By an upright will we love God, we choose God, we run toward God, we reach Him, we possess Him."


O good, good Will which transforms me into the image of God and makes me like Him! We will be in Steubenville the next few days, so have posted 6 days of Mother Teresa's words of wisdom for everyone. God bless each of you. We must know exactly when we say yes to God what is in that yes.


Yes means " I surrender," totally, fully, without any counting the cost, without any examination, " Is it all right? Is it convenient?"


Meditations by Padre Pio - Bearing physical and moral ailments is the worthiest offering you can make to He who saved us through suffering (Letters III, p. 487).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Passion is merely the echo of knowledge!


"Passion has its seat in the body or the animal nature of man. It is the echo of the knowledge in our physical structure but it is not knowledge. Passion implies sensible changes, such as the flushing of the cheeks, the dilating of the pupils and the tensing of many muscles."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - As I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament and greeting the five wounds of Jesus, at each salutation I felt a torrent of graces gushing into my soul, giving me a foretaste of heaven and absolute confidence in God's mercy. (1337)


O merciful God, You do not despise us, but lavish Your graces on us continuously. You make us fit to enter Your kingdom, and in Your goodness You grant that human beings may fill the places vacated by the ungrateful Angels. O God of great mercy, who turned Your sacred gaze away from the rebellious Angels and turned it upon contrite man, praise and glory be to Your unfathomable mercy, O God who do not despise the lowly heart. (1339)


My Jesus, let my sacrifice burn before Your throne in all silence, but with the full force of love, as I beg You to have mercy on souls. (1342)

 


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. T


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 30 - REFLECT ON JESUS PASSION


"The privileged place where we can find this Jesus 'in agony until the end of the world' is the Eucharist. Jesus instituted it immediately before going to the Garden of Olives so that his disciples would be able, in every age, to make themselves 'contemporary' with his Passion.


If the Spirit inspires in us the desire to be one hour at the side of Jesus in Gethsemane this Lent, the simplest way to achieve it is to spend, on Thursday afternoon, one hour before the Blessed Sacrament" (Father Raniero Cantalamessa, March 17, 2006).

 


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


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


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

 


Mother Teresa - Our yes to God is without any reservations.


We are at Jesus' disposal. If He wants you to be sick in bed, if He wants you to proclaim His word in the street, that's all right, everything is all right.


Meditations by Padre Pio - . I am extremely pleased to hear that the Lord is always generous with His caresses towards your souls. I know you are suffering, but isn't this suffering a sure sign that God loves you? (Letters III, p. 707).

 


Archbishop Fulton Sheen- Passion is blind without knowledge "Passion is not a reflex like the watering of a dog's mouth in the presence of food. It is true that there are many similarities between passion in animals and passion in man, but it must never be forgotten that in man, passion cannot operate unless something is known."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - When I entered the chapel for a moment in the evening, I felt a terrible thorn in my head. This lasted for a short time, but the pricking was so painful that in an instant my head dropped onto the communion rail. It seemed to me that the thorn had thrust itself into my brain. But all this is nothing; it is all for the sake of souls, to obtain God's mercy for them. (1399)


Christ, give me souls. Let anything You like happen to me, but give me souls in return. I want the salvation of souls. I want souls to know Your mercy. I have nothing left for myself, because I have given everything away to souls, with the result that on the day of judgment I will stand before You empty-handed, since I have given everything away to souls. Thus You will have nothing on which to judge me, and we shall meet on that day: Love and mercy... (1426)


Today during confession, breaking the wafer with me spiritually, he [my confessor] gave me the following wishes: "Be as faithful as you can to the grace of God; secondly, beg God's mercy for yourself and for the whole world, because we are all in great need of God's mercy." (1432)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


Mar 30 - REFLECT ON JESUS' PASSION


The Blessed Virgin speaks of the cross and prayer today:


Dear children, here is my second message for Lent. Renew your prayer before the cross. Dear children, I offer you special graces and Jesus offers you the extraordinary merits of the cross. Accept them and live! Reflect on Jesus ` passion. Unite your life to his (Weekly Message February 20, 1986).


Scripture and Reflection:


In view of Our Lady's message today, it might be well for us to simple meditate on the Passion of her Son, rather than engage in commentary St. Thomas a Kempis emphasized this as well when he wrote, "Take comfort in the Passion of Christ, and dwell willingly in his sacred wounds. Endure with Christ, suffer for him, if you wish to reign with him."


As you meditate on the passion narrative of St. Mark, read the lines unhurriedly, and pause in silent prayer if a phrase or word strikes you, for this is the Holy Spirit at work. Then the soldiers led him into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters); and they called together the whole cohort. And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on him. And they began saluting him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" They struck his head with a reed, spat upon him, and knelt down in homage to him. After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.


…Then they brought Jesus to the placed called Golgotha (which means the place of the skull). And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them. Casting lots to decide what each should take.


…When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi. Lema sabachtani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"


When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, «Listen, he calling for Elijah." And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down."


Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last breath. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way be breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!" (Mk 15:16-20, 22-24, 33-39).


Application:


Today, spend five minutes in meditation before the cross.


Mar 29 - WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY FACE


The following message from the Queen of Peace is her lengthiest—and one of the most important. Along with a short passage from scripture, it will serve as our reading and reflection for this Lenten day.


My Dear Children! I came to you in order to lead you to purity of soul and then to God. But how did you receive me? At first with disbelief, fearful and suspicious of the children I had chosen. Later on, most of you received me in your hearts and began to live your Mother's messages. But that did not last for long.


Whenever I come to you my Son comes with me, but so does Satan. You unwittingly permitted him to influence you and now he drives you on. It is up to you to recognize when your behaviour is displeasing to God, but you often stifle the thought.


Do not give in, dear children. Wipe from my face the tears that I shed when I see you acting like this. Rouse yourselves. Take the time to meet God in your church. Come into your Father's house. Take time for family prayer so you can receive God's grace. Remember your deceased; give them joy by offering a Mass for them.


Do not be scornful of those who beg you for a piece of bread. Do not turn them away from your overladen tables. Help them and God will help you. Perhaps this is the way in which God will hear you and bestow upon you blessings in thanksgiving.


You have forgotten all this, my children, under Satan's influence. Be wary! Pray with me! Do not deceive yourselves in thinking, "I am good, but my brother next door is not." You would be wrong. Your Mother loves you and so I warn you.


People do not know the secrets, my children, but when they learn of them it will be too late. Return to prayer! Nothing is more important. I wish the Lord would permit to enlighten you a little more about the secrets, but the graces you have already received are great enough.


Think how much you have offended him What have you given him of yourself? When was the last time you gave up something for the Lord? I do not want to reprimand you further, but to call you once again to prayer, fasting, and penance. If you wish to obtain a special grace from God by fasting, then let no one know you are fasting. If you wish to obtain a certain grace from God through a gift to the poor, then keep your almsgiving a secret between you and the Lord.


Listen to me, my children! Meditate on my message in prayer (Special Message January 28, 1987).


And from the Acts of the Apostles, this quote from Isaiah echoes Our Lady's words: For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes; so that they might not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn—and I would heal them (Acts 28:27).


Application:


Simply heed the Gospa's advice in the last sentence of her message today: "Meditate on my message in prayer."


Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 31 - Open your hearts to the Holy Spirit

 


"Whenever we are shaken by the sight of evil spreading in the universe . . . we should not forget that such unleashing of the forces of sin is overcome by the saving power of Christ. Whenever the words of consecration are uttered in the Mass and the Body and Blood of Christ become present in the act of the sacrifice, the triumph of love over hatred, of holiness over sin, is also present. Every Eucharistic Celebration is stronger than all the evil in the universe; it means real, concrete accomplishment of the redemption" (Pope John Paul II).

 


Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, Carmelite Nun (1880-1906) France: Bl. Elizabeth wrote, "When Our Lord was on earth, the Gospel says `a secret power went out from Him,' at His touch the sick recovered their health, the dead were restored to life. Well, He is still living! living in the tabernacle in His adorable Sacrament." "When you are close to the tabernacle in which love incarnate dwells, there is no distance."

 


Mother Teresa - We must say, " I belong to you. You can do whatever you like. " And this is our strength and this is the joy of the Lord.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Accept all the suffering and incomprehension that comes from Above. In this way you will perfect and sanctity yourself (FSP, 119).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -- Passion is not unconscious!


"The eye has a reflex action when someone is about to thrust his finger into it, but passion is a conscious affair; it is something that happens to a creature endowed with reason and free will."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - After I had gone into the refectory, during the reading, my whole being found itself plunged in God. Interiorly, I saw God looking at us with great pleasure. I remained alone with the Heavenly Father. At that moment, I had a deeper knowledge of the Three Divine Persons, whom we shall contemplate for all eternity and, after millions of years, shall discover that we have just barely begun our contemplation.


Oh, how great is the mercy of God, who allows man to participate in such a high degree in His divine happiness! At the same time, what great pain pierces my heart [at the thought] that so many souls have spurned this happiness. (1439)


Write, speak of My mercy. Tell souls where they are to look for solace; that is, in the Tribunal of Mercy [the Sacrament of Reconciliation] There the greatest miracles take place [and] are incessantly repeated.


To avail oneself of this miracle, it is not necessary to go on a great pilgrimage or to carry out some external ceremony; it suffices to come with faith to the feet of My representative and to reveal to him one's misery, and the miracle of Divine Mercy will be fully demonstrated.


Were a soul like a decaying corpse so that from a human standpoint, there would be no [hope of] restoration and everything would already be lost, it is not so with God. The miracle of Divine Mercy restores that soul in full. Oh, how miserable are those who do not take advantage of the miracle of God's mercy!... (1448)

 


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY.


Mar 31 - OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT


The Holy Spirit is the topic of Our Lady's message today:


"Dear Children, during these days I call you to especially open your hearts to the Holy Spirit, who is working through you. Open your hearts and surrender your lives to Jesus so that he can work through your hearts and strengthen you in faith (Weekly Message May 23, 1985).


And from Acts:


But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon yon; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).


Reflections:


Jesus wishes to give us the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Blessed Mother asks us to be open to receive his power. With faith and openness, then let us pray to the Spirit using The Sequence of the Holy Spirit, one of the loveliest prayer-poems of the church:


Holy Spirit, Lord of light, from the clear celestial height Thy pure beaming radiance give. Come, thou Father of the poor, Come, with treasures which endure; Come, thou light of all that live!


Thou, of all consolers best, Thou, the soul's delightful guest, Dost refreshing peace bestow; Thou in toil art comfort sweet; Pleasant coolness in the heat; Solace in the midst of woe.


Light immortal, light divine, Visit thou these hearts of thine, And our inmost being fill: If thou take thy grace away, Nothing pure in man will stay; All his good is turned to ill.


Heal our wounds, our strength renew; On our dryness pour thy dew; Wash the stains of guilt away; Bend the stubborn heart and will; Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Guide the steps that go astray.


Thou, on us who evermore Thee confess and thee adore, With thy sevenfold gifts descend: Give us comfort when we die; Give us life with thee on high; Give us joys that never end.


Application:


Make it a habit to pray to the Holy Spirit each day, as the Virgin asks of us.

 Tuesday Holy Week - Novena For World Peace/Retreat Las Vegas, NV
Message from Jesus to Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette
<P><BR> 

Melvin, I Love you for I offered My Supreme Sacrifice for you and all
My brothers and sisters who believe in Me and those who will believe in
me in the future.
<P><BR> 

My sacrifice is still occurring today because it is an ETERNAL
SACRIFICE that will never have an end. My Heavenly Father sees Me
nailed to the Cross and dying at all times and He knows that I offered
Myself TOTALLY to HIM for you to all have salvation.
<P><BR> 

I call you all to come to My Cross today and every day and join me as
I suffer atrociously for your sins and ask Me for the Graces and
Strength to avoid sin always. Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation
or Confession at least once a month. Become aware of the horrible
offense sin is to the Father and to me, that it caused Me so much
suffering.
<P><BR> 

Once all your sins are taken away you can live the New Life, which I
brought you. It is a life of grace which brings you very close to Me,
who is your Great Friend.
<P><BR> 

Do not follow anymore the ways of the world
but walk in friendship with Me, your Savior and your Friend. Come to
prayer everyday and your holiness will grow daily. I bless you all
with My Love, My Peace and My Joy! I love you
<P><BR>

Wednesday Holy Week - Novena For World Peace/Retreat Las Vegas, NV
Message from Jesus to Rev. Fr. Melvin Doucette

<P><BR> 

Melvin, My brother, I speak to you in your heart. I love you and all
My faithful brothers and sisters who believe in me and offer their
lives to Me.
<P><BR> 

You will all have your share of suffering. This suffering is the
sharing in My Cross which brought Me much pain and finally death. If
you offer your suffering to the Father, together with all I suffered
then your suffering will be redemptive suffering as you will join with
Me and My Holy Mother in doing your part for the salvation of the
world. Offer to the Father through Me your sufferings every day and it
will bring much help to many people
. <P><BR> 

Your life will not only be suffering, you will always be with Me and I
will give you great peace, a heart full of love and a joy that the
world cannot give. Your life will be truly meaningful for you will
have a great purpose to live, namely, to grow daily in your love of Me
and of your neighbor.
<P><BR> 

However, you will be tested to prove that your
love is genuine and that you are humble. You know that I love a humble
heart and such friends are Blessed indeed.
Do not worry about
tomorrow but know that I AM taking care of you.
Make use of all the
Graces I give you today. Remain in My Love. I Bless you all.

Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010<P><BR> 

 Love and Mercy! <P><BR> 

    We attended the 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. <P><BR> 

I made an Act Of Contrition prior to receiving Holy Communion, and after receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ; I knelt in silent commune with Jesus.

 <P><BR> 

   Praying for forgiveness of my sins and asking Jesus to guide my footsteps, I prayed, “Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.”

 <P><BR> 

    Jesus responded to my prayer and speaking to my heart imparted these words; “My child Eileen, all My children were fashioned after My own heart. Sin divides our hearts. Love and mercy eradicates sin.  Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.”  <P><BR>

Monthly Message as given to Anne, a lay apostle

<P><BR> 

On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about his call to service.
April 1, 2010

 <P><BR> 

Jesus
  
<P><BR> 

My dear apostles, I am with you. I am present in every challenge you experience. I see your struggle and I provide everything you need to serve Me in each day. If you have given Me your day, then the day belongs to Me. Your self-will has been offered to heaven and heaven exchanges it for My will. How do you experience this? On most days your experience of serving Me is a mystery to you. <P><BR> 

How could it be otherwise when you are seeing with eyes that have not yet been exposed to the divine vision? Day after day, you offer your will to Me and day after day, I use your offering to gently push Myself through you to others. Do you feel successful? Or do you feel, at times, that you are unsuccessful? Poor little apostles, I understand your questions and I understand your doubts. <P><BR> 

I assure you, in My human experience, I did not feel successful at every moment. My experience was often much to the contrary. I often experienced the temptation to believe that I was failing the Father. I sometimes, in moments of  human temptation, wondered if, in fact, love was enough. <P><BR> 

Could love succeed in turning hearts to goodness? Could love succeed in persuading God’s children to accept the Father’s beautiful plan for humanity? Yes, please believe that I suffered temptation.  And now, you suffer temptation. Together, our temptations suffered for the Father, bring soothing graces to others. You, My beautiful apostle, serve despite temptations to abandon Me. Where others leave, you endure. You endure for Me, as I endured for you. <P><BR> 

 From My perspective, all is well, despite your suffering. My plan is perfect and if you are serving Me, listening to My voice, there are no problems. If you are not serving Me and you are not listening to My voice, then there are many problems for you and there will continue to be many problems for you. ‘Ah’, you say, ‘Jesus, I am listening to you and still I have these problems’. <P><BR> 

We must differentiate small problems from big problems. Small problems are the sufferings you bear for the sake of the divine will. Big problems are the problems you face when you abandon My will and insert your own will. Are you praying? Are you in steady communication with Me? Do you ask Me what I want you to do in situations where you are unsure? Do you spend time in silence, considering heaven and heaven’s plan for you in the day? <P><BR> 

Answer yes to these questions and I assure you, your problems will be manageable. Do not believe I ignore your sighs or turn away from your fears. I am with you. I will never abandon you. My plan will be realised through your perseverance and through the perseverance of many apostles like you. <P><BR> 

I am so pleased when you pray for each other because this is how you experience, in advance, My gratitude.  You see My gratitude in the graces received by others through your intercession. Rejoice. I am responding to your pain and answering your prayers.  Truly, I am with you.

Message to Mirjana on April 2, 2009<P><BR> 

"Dear children, God's love is in my words. My children, that is the love which desires to turn you to justice and truth. That is the love which desires to save you from delusion. And what about you, my children? Your hearts remain closed; they are hard and do not respond to my calls. They are insincere. With a motherly love I am praying for you, because I desire for all of you to resurrect in my Son. Thank you."

<P><BR> 

 "In the Virgin's example of silent and fruitful listening, contemplation helps grasp the presence of the Living One in the Eucharist and aids in transfiguring the deaths that mark the earthly city into a commitment for life and hope in the resurrection" (Pope John Paul II, Servant of God).

"You, eternal Father, are the table that offers us as food the Lamb, your only-begotten Son.  He is the most exquisite of foods for us . . . that we receive in Holy Communion, which feeds and strengthens us while we are pilgrim travelers in this life" (St. Catherine of Siena).

<P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

 Mother Teresa-

Never let anything so fill you with pain or sorrow so as to make you forget the joy of Christ Risen. <P><BR> 

 <P><BR> 

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Apr 2 It is necessary to be strong to become great: this is our duty. Life is a struggle from which we cannot withdraw, but we must triumph (CE,33).

<P><BR> 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Where is the true passion of politics? <P><BR> 

 

"Because we hate certain things, other passions which are related to struggle with difficulties also arise... Coming back to want of fire and enthusiasm in our politicians, the reason is rather obvious. They have no great central overwhelming cause to which they are dedicated with the full fervor of their being, and they have no great shock at evil or wrong."

<P><BR> 

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

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. <P><BR> 

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) <P><BR> 

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. <P><BR> 

 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.

  <P><BR> 

APRIL 2 - PRAY TO UNDERSTAND THE FATHER'S LOVE<P><BR> 

Our Lady speaks of understanding the will of the Father and his love: <P><BR> 

O children! Remember that the only way you can be always with me, and know the will of the Father, is to pray. That is why I call you again today. Do not let my calls go unheeded. Above all else, continue to pray, for then you will understand the Father's will and his love for you (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana May 16, 1987) <P><BR> 

.In Matthew's gospel, Christ also speaks of the Father and his promised reward to those who pray: <P><BR> 

And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father in secret; and then your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you (Mt 6:5-6). <P><BR> 

Reflection: <P><BR> 

 

Prayer to God the Father is powerful, for among other things, "you will understand the Father's will and his love for you," as Mary tells us today. Humble prayer, "in secret", as Jesus advises in our gospel reading is always heard by the Father and swiftly answered. <P><BR> 

The following "Petition to God" was dictated to Jelena, one of the Medjugorje locutionists, by the Blessed Mother. It was distributed throughout the church by the priest at Medjugorje. Let us offer it in response to the Virgin's message today: <P><BR> 

O God, our hearts are deeply obscured, despite our bond to your heart. Our hearts are rent between you and Satan; between good and evil; enlighten and unify them with your grace. Do not permit two loves to exist in us, or two faiths; grant that we may never be torn between lying and sincerity, love and hatred, honesty and dishonesty, humility and pride. <P><BR> 

Help us to raise our hearts to you like those of children. May you renew and fill our hearts with peace; may the longing for peace grow within us. May your holy will and love dwell in us that we may truly desire to be your children. Remember our past devotion and help us to again receive your Spirit. <P><BR> 

With open hearts we seek that you will be done in us. With open souls we seek your tender mercy. May your mercy strengthen us to recognize our sins which make us impure. Lord God, we wish to be your children, humble and devout, sincere and cherished, as you desire us to be. <P><BR> 

And may you, brother Jesus, intercede with the Father, that he may bless us with his goodness and inspire us to respond with goodness. Help us, Lord Jesus, to comprehend the Father's infinite love and manifold gifts, that we may never fail to please him with works of love and peace. Amen. <P><BR> 

Application: <P><BR> 

Offer this Petition to God once more today, perhaps this evening. May it be a prayer from your heart. <P><BR> 

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 01 - May you be the hope and joy of mankind<P><BR> 

"Mankind will not have<P><BR> 

"Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy," Jesus
told St. Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament, "Adore, in the Blessed
Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy." "I want Adoration to take place . . .
 for the intention of imploring Mercy for the world." (Divine Mercy Diary,
300, 1572, & 1070)

<P><BR> 

 Mother Teresa -

"The cross is the proof that He loved us and the Tabernacle is the proof that He loves us now with tender compassion".<P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

  The Cross is a thorny fruit which outside is most pungent. After the thorns and bark are removed, one finds a precious and savory fruit, that only she who has the patience to endure the annoyance of the punctures, can come to discover the secret of the preciousness and the taste of that fruit. And only she who has come to discover this secret keeps it with love. And all the others look at it with contempt and despise it. 

<P><BR> 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Apr 1 Doesn't the Holy Spirit tells us that when the soul approaches God it must be prepared for temptations? Courage, therefore, courage my good daughter. Fight valiantly and you will receive the prize of strong souls (Letters III, p. 427).

<P><BR> 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

The Passion of Love and Hate <P><BR> 

"The root of all passions are love and its opposite, hate. Hence our passions are either for the pursuit of what we love, or escape from what we hate."

<P><BR> 

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

   Jesus, lover of human salvation, draw all souls to the divine life. May the greatness of Your mercy be praised here on earth and in eternity. O great lover of souls, who in Your boundless compassion opened the salutary fountains of mercy so that weak souls may be fortified in this life's pilgrimage, Your mercy runs through our life like a golden thread and maintains in good order the contact of our being with God. For He does not need anything to make Him happy; so everything is solely the work of His mercy. My senses are transfixed with joy when God grants me a deeper awareness of that great attribute of His; namely, His unfathomable mercy.       (1466) <P><BR> 

Jesus, hide me in Your mercy and shield me against everything that might terrify my soul. Do not let my trust in Your mercy be disappointed. Shield me with the omnipotence of Your mercy, and judge me leniently as well.       (1480)

<P><BR> 

  MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY<P><BR> 

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. <P><BR> 

APRIL 1 - MAY YOU BE THE JOY OF MANKIND<P><BR> 

The Blessed Virgin speaks of joy today: <P><BR> 

"Dear Children, persevere in prayer so that your hearts may be filled with joy. Dear children, may you be the hope and joy of mankind, But you can only achieve this through prayer. Pray, pray! (Visionary Prayer Group May 3rd, 1986). <P><BR> 

In his prayer to the Father, Jesus speaks of conveying his joy to his disciples: <P><BR> 

While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded the, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves (Jn17:12-13) <P><BR> 

Reflection: <P><BR> 

Joy is a unique quality of the Christian life. It seems to be born of trust in God's love for us and for all aspects of our lives. Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries, recently gave a sermon on Our Lady's messages of prayer and joy. <P><BR> 

Here, in part, is what he said: <P><BR> 

Normally, after meeting someone, you need time to get to know him, tell him about yourself, exchange views, and so forth. However, if our prayer only consists of an occasional "hello" to someone who only occupies a corner of our lives, then we probably aren't going to experience great joy. <P><BR> 

The problem is that we all want joy but we're not willing to follow the path that leads to its source: prayer from the heart. That is why Our Lady asks us so urgently to, "pray, pray!" It is the means to happiness. <P><BR> 

Application: <P><BR> 

Today the Mother of God asks that we make our hearts, "joyful through the means of prayer." To this end, try to extend and deepen your prayer so that you will more fully experience that joy. <P><BR> Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 29 - Wipe the tears from my face <P><BR> 

"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). <P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

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

<P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

Mother Teresa -

The first step to becoming holy is to will it. St. Thomas says, " Sanctity consists in nothing else than a firm resolve, the heroic act of a soul abandoning himself to God. By an upright will we love God, we choose God, we run toward God, we reach Him, we possess Him." <P><BR> 

O good, good Will which transforms me into the image of God and makes me like Him! We will be in Steubenville the next few days, so have posted 6 days of Mother Teresa's words of wisdom for everyone. God bless each of you. We must know exactly when we say yes to God what is in that yes. <P><BR> 

Yes means " I surrender," totally, fully, without any counting the cost, without any examination, " Is it all right? Is it convenient?"

<P><BR> 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Bearing physical and moral ailments is the worthiest offering you can make to He who saved us through suffering (Letters III, p. 487).

<P><BR> 

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Passion is merely the echo of knowledge! <P><BR> 

"Passion has its seat in the body or the animal nature of man. It is the echo of the knowledge in our physical structure but it is not knowledge. Passion implies sensible changes, such as the flushing of the cheeks, the dilating of the pupils and the tensing of many muscles."

<P><BR> 

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

 

As I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament and greeting the five wounds of Jesus, at each salutation I felt a torrent of graces gushing into my soul, giving me a foretaste of heaven and absolute confidence in God's mercy.       (1337) <P><BR> 

O merciful God, You do not despise us, but lavish Your graces on us continuously. You make us fit to enter Your kingdom, and in Your goodness You grant that human beings may fill the places vacated by the ungrateful Angels. O God of great mercy, who turned Your sacred gaze away from the rebellious Angels and turned it upon contrite man, praise and glory be to Your unfathomable mercy, O God who do not despise the lowly heart.       (1339) <P><BR> 

My Jesus, let my sacrifice burn before Your throne in all silence, but with the full force of love, as I beg You to have mercy on souls.       (1342) <P><BR>

 Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 30 - REFLECT ON JESUS PASSION

<P><BR> 

"The privileged place where we can find this Jesus 'in agony until the end of the world' is the Eucharist. Jesus instituted it immediately before going to the Garden of Olives so that his disciples would be able, in every age, to make themselves 'contemporary' with his Passion. <P><BR> 

If the Spirit inspires in us the desire to be one hour at the side of Jesus in Gethsemane this Lent, the simplest way to achieve it is to spend, on Thursday afternoon, one hour before the Blessed Sacrament" (Father Raniero
Cantalamessa, March 17, 2006).
<P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

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

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

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

<P><BR> 

 

<P><BR> 

Mother Teresa -

Our yes to God is without any reservations. <P><BR> 

We are at Jesus' disposal.
If He wants you to be sick in bed,
if He wants you to proclaim His word in the street,
that's all right, everything is all right.

<P><BR> 

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 . I am extremely pleased to hear that the Lord is always generous with His caresses towards your souls. I know you are suffering, but isn't this suffering a sure sign that God loves you? (Letters III, p. 707). <P><BR> 

 

 

<P><BR> 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen-

Passion is blind without knowledge

"Passion is not a reflex like the watering of a dog's mouth in the presence of food. It is true that there are many similarities between passion in animals and passion in man, but it must never be forgotten that in man, passion cannot operate unless something is known."

<P><BR> 

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

 

When I entered the chapel for a moment in the evening, I felt a terrible thorn in my head. This lasted for a short time, but the pricking was so painful that in an instant my head dropped onto the communion rail. It seemed to me that the thorn had thrust itself into my brain. But all this is nothing; it is all for the sake of souls, to obtain God's mercy for them.       (1399) <P><BR> 

Christ, give me souls. Let anything You like happen to me, but give me souls in return. I want the salvation of souls. I want souls to know Your mercy. I have nothing left for myself, because I have given everything away to souls, with the result that on the day of judgment I will stand before You empty-handed, since I have given everything away to souls. Thus You will have nothing on which to judge me, and we shall meet on that day: Love and mercy...       (1426) <P><BR> 

Today during confession, breaking the wafer with me spiritually, he [my confessor] gave me the following wishes: "Be as faithful as you can to the grace of God; secondly, beg God's mercy for yourself and for the whole world, because we are all in great need of God's mercy."       (1432)

<P><BR> 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY<P><BR> <P><BR> 

Mar 30  -  REFLECT ON JESUS' PASSION<P><BR> 

The Blessed Virgin speaks of the cross and prayer today: <P><BR> 

Dear children, here is my second message for Lent. Renew your prayer before the cross. Dear children, I offer you special graces and Jesus offers you the extraordinary merits of the cross. Accept them and live! Reflect on Jesus ` passion. Unite your life to his (Weekly Message February 20, 1986). <P><BR> 

Scripture and Reflection: <P><BR> 

In view of Our Lady's message today, it might be well for us to simple meditate on the Passion of her Son, rather than engage in commentary St. Thomas a Kempis emphasized this as well when he wrote, "Take comfort in the Passion of Christ, and dwell willingly in his sacred wounds. Endure with Christ, suffer for him, if you wish to reign with him." <P><BR> 

As you meditate on the passion narrative of St. Mark, read the lines unhurriedly, and pause in silent prayer if a phrase or word strikes you, for this is the Holy Spirit at work.

Then the soldiers led him into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor's headquarters); and they called together the whole cohort. And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on him. And they began saluting him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" They struck his head with a reed, spat upon him, and knelt down in homage to him. After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him. <P><BR> 

…Then they brought Jesus to the placed called Golgotha (which means the place of the skull). And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them. Casting lots to decide what each should take. <P><BR> 

…When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi. Lema sabachtani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" <P><BR> 

When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, «Listen, he calling for Elijah." And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down." <P><BR> 

Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last breath. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way be breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was God's Son!" (Mk 15:16-20, 22-24, 33-39). <P><BR> 

Application: <P><BR> 

Today, spend five minutes in meditation before the cross. <P><BR> 

Mar 29 - WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY FACE<P><BR> 

The following message from the Queen of Peace is her lengthiest—and one of the most important. Along with a short passage from scripture, it will serve as our reading and reflection for this Lenten day. <P><BR> 

My Dear Children! I came to you in order to lead you to purity of soul and then to God. But how did you receive me? At first with disbelief, fearful and suspicious of the children I had chosen. Later on, most of you received me in your hearts and began to live your Mother's messages. But that did not last for long. <P><BR> 

Whenever I come to you my Son comes with me, but so does Satan. You unwittingly permitted him to influence you and now he drives you on. It is up to you to recognize when your behaviour is displeasing to God, but you often stifle the thought. <P><BR> 

Do not give in, dear children. Wipe from my face the tears that I shed when I see you acting like this. Rouse yourselves. Take the time to meet God in your church. Come into your Father's house. Take time for family prayer so you can receive God's grace. Remember your deceased; give them joy by offering a Mass for them. <P><BR> 

Do not be scornful of those who beg you for a piece of bread. Do not turn them away from your overladen tables. Help them and God will help you. Perhaps this is the way in which God will hear you and bestow upon you blessings in thanksgiving. <P><BR> 

You have forgotten all this, my children, under Satan's influence. Be wary! Pray with me! Do not deceive yourselves in thinking, "I am good, but my brother next door is not." You would be wrong. Your Mother loves you and so I warn you. <P><BR> 

People do not know the secrets, my children, but when they learn of them it will be too late. Return to prayer! Nothing is more important. I wish the Lord would permit to enlighten you a little more about the secrets, but the graces you have already received are great enough. <P><BR> 

Think how much you have offended him What have you given him of yourself? When was the last time you gave up something for the Lord? I do not want to reprimand you further, but to call you once again to prayer, fasting, and penance. If you wish to obtain a special grace from God by fasting, then let no one know you are fasting. If you wish to obtain a certain grace from God through a gift to the poor, then keep your almsgiving a secret between you and the Lord. <P><BR> 

Listen to me, my children! Meditate on my message in prayer (Special Message January 28, 1987). <P><BR> 

And from the Acts of the Apostles, this quote from Isaiah echoes Our Lady's words:

For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes; so that they might not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn—and I would heal them (Acts 28:27). <P><BR> 

Application: <P><BR> 

Simply heed the Gospa's advice in the last sentence of her message today: "Meditate on my message in prayer." <P><BR> 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 31 - Open your hearts to the Holy Spirit <P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

 

"Whenever we are shaken by the sight of evil spreading in the universe . . .
we should not forget that such unleashing of the forces of sin is overcome by the saving power of Christ.  Whenever the words of consecration are uttered in the Mass and the Body and Blood of Christ become present in the act of the  sacrifice, the triumph of love over hatred, of holiness over sin, is also present.  Every Eucharistic Celebration is stronger than all the evil in the universe; it means real, concrete accomplishment of the redemption" (Pope John Paul II).
<P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, Carmelite Nun (1880-1906) France:
Bl. Elizabeth wrote, "When Our Lord was on earth, the Gospel says `a secret power went out from Him,' at His touch the sick recovered their health, the dead were restored to life.  Well, He is still living! living in the tabernacle in His adorable Sacrament."  "When you are close to the tabernacle in which love incarnate dwells, there is no distance."

<P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

Mother Teresa -

We must say, " I belong to you. You can do whatever you like. "
And this is our strength and this is the joy of the Lord.

<P><BR> 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Accept all the suffering and incomprehension that comes from Above. In this way you will perfect and sanctity yourself (FSP, 119).

<P><BR> 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen --

Passion is not unconscious! <P><BR> 

"The eye has a reflex action when someone is about to thrust his finger into it, but passion is a conscious affair; it is something that happens to a creature endowed with reason and free will."

<P><BR> 

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

 

After I had gone into the refectory, during the reading, my whole being found itself plunged in God. Interiorly, I saw God looking at us with great pleasure. I remained alone with the Heavenly Father. At that moment, I had a deeper knowledge of the Three Divine Persons, whom we shall contemplate for all eternity and, after millions of years, shall discover that we have just barely begun our contemplation. <P><BR> 

Oh, how great is the mercy of God, who allows man to participate in such a high degree in His divine happiness! At the same time, what great pain pierces my heart [at the thought] that so many souls have spurned this happiness.       (1439) <P><BR> 

Write, speak of My mercy. Tell souls where they are to look for solace; that is, in the Tribunal of Mercy [the Sacrament of Reconciliation] There the greatest miracles take place [and] are incessantly repeated. <P><BR> 

To avail oneself of this miracle, it is not necessary to go on a great pilgrimage or to carry out some external ceremony; it suffices to come with faith to the feet of My representative and to reveal to him one's misery, and the miracle of Divine Mercy will be fully demonstrated. <P><BR> 

Were a soul like a decaying corpse so that from a human standpoint, there would be no [hope of] restoration and everything would already be lost, it is not so with God. The miracle of Divine Mercy restores that soul in full. Oh, how miserable are those who do not take advantage of the miracle of God's mercy!...      (1448) <P><BR> 

<P><BR> 

 

 MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY. <P><BR> 

 Mar 31  -  OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT<P><BR> 

The Holy Spirit is the topic of Our Lady's message today: <P><BR> 

"Dear Children, during these days I call you to especially open your hearts to the Holy Spirit, who is working through you. Open your hearts and surrender your lives to Jesus so that he can work through your hearts and strengthen you in faith (Weekly Message May 23, 1985). <P><BR> 

And from Acts: <P><BR> 

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon yon; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). <P><BR> 

Reflections: <P><BR> 

Jesus wishes to give us the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Blessed Mother asks us to be open to receive his power. With faith and openness, then let us pray to the Spirit using The Sequence of the Holy Spirit, one of the loveliest prayer-poems of the church: <P><BR> 

Holy Spirit, Lord of light, from the clear celestial height Thy pure beaming radiance give. Come, thou Father of the poor, Come, with treasures which endure; Come, thou light of all that live! <P><BR> 

Thou, of all consolers best, Thou, the soul's delightful guest, Dost refreshing peace bestow; Thou in toil art comfort sweet; Pleasant coolness in the heat; Solace in the midst of woe. <P><BR> 

Light immortal, light divine, Visit thou these hearts of thine, And our inmost being fill: If thou take thy grace away, Nothing pure in man will stay; All his good is turned to ill. <P><BR> 

Heal our wounds, our strength renew; On our dryness pour thy dew; Wash the stains of guilt away; Bend the stubborn heart and will; Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Guide the steps that go astray. <P><BR> 

Thou, on us who evermore Thee confess and thee adore, With thy sevenfold gifts descend: Give us comfort when we die; Give us life with thee on high; Give us joys that never end. <P><BR> 

Application: <P><BR> Make it a habit to pray to the Holy Spirit each day, as the Virgin asks of us. <P><BR>
