Prophecy Meditations
Topic: Prophecy Meditation

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 03 - Abandon yourselves to me

 

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

 

"Who does not see that the hidden life of Nazareth is continued in the divine Host of the tabernacle, and that the Passion of the Man-God on Calvary is renewed in the Holy Sacrifice at every moment of the day and night and all over the world?  Is not our Lord as meek and humble in His Sacrament as during His mortal life?  Is He not always the Good Shepherd, the divine Consoler, our bosom Friend?" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Apr 3 Woe to those who are dishonest! Not only do they loose all human respect, but they cannot take up any public office either. So let us be honest always, casting all bad thoughts from our minds, and keeping our hearts always turned to God, who created us and placed us on earth in order to know, love and serve Him in this life, and then enjoy Him eternally in the next (CS, no. 15, pp74f.).

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

03-What has happened to absolutes?

 

"Nothing has so much killed enthusiasm as the pragmatic notion that there is nothing that is absolutely true, right, and good for which one ought to consecrate his life; and there is nothing so evil that one ought to die rather than surrender to it. Indifference kills passions; while skepticism deadens them."

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

 

When I look into the future, I am frightened,

But why plunge into the future?

Only the present moment is precious to me,

As the future may never enter my soul at all.P>It is no longer in my power,

To change, correct or add to the past;

For neither sages nor prophets could do that.

And so, what the past has embraced I must entrust to God.

 

O present moment, you belong to me, whole and entire.

I desire to use you as best I can.

And although I am weak and small,

You grant me the grace of your omnipotence.

 

And so, trusting in Your mercy,

I walk through life like a little child,

Offering You each day this heart

Burning with love for Your greater glory.       (2)

 

O Jesus, eternal Truth, strengthen my feeble forces; You can do all things, Lord. I know that without You all my efforts are in vain. O Jesus, do not hide from me, for I cannot live without You. Listen to the cry of my soul. Your mercy has not been exhausted, Lord, so have pity on my misery. Your mercy surpasses the understanding of all Angels and people put together; and so, although it seems to me that You do not hear me, I put my trust in the ocean of Your mercy, and I know that my hope will not be deceived.       (69)

 

 

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 3 - ABANDON YOURSELVES TO ME

 

Our Lady speaks of the fruits of abandonment today:

 

"If you would abandon yourselves to me, you would not even feel the passage from this life to the next. You would begin to live the life of heaven on earth." (Locution Jelena & Mirijana 1986).

 

From the cross when Jesus entrusted his Mother to his apostle John, she was given to all of us as well:

 

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Here is your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home (Jn 19:26-27).

 

Reflection:

 

Just as Mary was given to us by Jesus, so we in turn are called to give ourselves to the Blessed Mother.

 

Let us do just that, using the "Prayer to Give

 

Oneself to Mary, Mother of Goodness, Love, and Mercy," dictated to Jelena in 1984:

 

O my Mother, Mother of goodness, love, and mercy, I love you so much, and I now offer myself to you. Save me through your goodness, Your love, and your mercy. I wish to be yours. Deep is my love for you, And I place myself under your protection. Grant to my heart, Mother Mary, A share of your own goodness, That I may someday join you in heaven. In your great love, grant That I may have the grace to love all people As you loved your Son, Jesus Christ. Grant me the grace to be so merciful That it may touch your own heart. I now offer myself completely to you And ask you to accompany me at each step, For you are full of grace. May I never forget your love and grace; But should I ever lose sight of it, I shall call upon you And you will help me find it again. Amen.

 

Application:

 

Since the church has reserved Saturday as Our Lady's special day of the week, you may wish to offer her this prayer of dedication on that day.

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette April 1, 2008

 

Make use of this sacrament often

 

Reading: John 20:19-23

 

Dear friends,

 

To you I lift up my eyes who are enthroned in heaven. Behold, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress, so are our eyes on the Lord, our God, till he have pity on us. Psalm 123:1-2

 

My time of prayer this morning was spent with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour. He said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you. I bless all My beloved brothers and sisters living in the world. You who live the Christian life are the joy of My heart. Do not be afraid and be full of cheer as you are in My Kingdom.

 

I know that you are weak and at times you say yes to temptations. Without My help you cannot do any good. This is why I gave My Apostles and all those who receive the priesthood the power to forgive sins. They use this power in the Sacrament of Reconciliation where you confess your sins and are sorry for what you have done and the priest then absolves you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This sacrament is the sacrament of mercy, that mercy that flows from My wounded heart. I have great compassion on all those who sin and repent for having offended their Father.

 

Unfortunately, many of My followers today do not take advantage of this sacrament. Many think they can go straight to the Father and ask Him to forgive them. They forget that I, their Saviour, instituted this sacrament and that I wish all Christians to make use of it. This is the ordinary way by which your sins are forgiven. The priest stands in My place and as he prayerfully recites the formula of absolution, all your sins are taken away. You are free and you receive the powerful grace of the sacrament. Make use of this sacrament often. I love you and bless you.

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 31, 2008

 

He is your only Saviour

 

Reading: Luke 1:26-38

 

Dear friends,

 

Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingship there will be no end. Luke 1:30-33

 

I spent a busy weekend in Rogersville, New Brunswick, during the last three days. I gave a retreat at the Trappist Monastery. People came from as far away as Dieppe and Lameque, NB. The chapel was full for the Healing Mass on Saturday evening.

 

This evening I will go to the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude, Tignish, to celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 p.m. I will introduce Mr. David Little after the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and invite him to speak to the people. He will speak about the evil of abortion and how our tax money is used to pay for abortions in Canada.

 

I was in prayer early this morning with our Heavenly Father and He said, Melvin, My son, I bless you and I love you. I love all My sons and daughters. I am here with Jesus, My beloved Son, and with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. There is great joy in heaven as the Church on earth celebrates the Annunciation. When the time had come, I sent the Angel Gabriel to announce to Mary that She had been chosen from all eternity to be the Mother of My only Son. He was conceived that day by the power of the Holy Spirit. The promised Messiah (Saviour) would now appear on earth. He would be born like any other human being, except that I would be His Father.

 

A great event happened although it was hidden at the time. God the Son, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, took upon Himself human nature in the womb of His Mother. God at that moment became man. From His conception, Jesus was present inside the womb of Mary, His chosen Mother. I sent My Son clothed in human flesh to bring salvation to all the people who would believe in Him and accept Him as their Saviour.

 

He came as the Suffering Servant to suffer and die to take away your sins so that you could be My beloved children. Through His great sacrifice, He opened heaven for you.

 

Come, My dear children, and accept the gift of faith I am giving you. Many of you have already accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Pray that your faith may become strong so that you may follow Him every day. He is your only Saviour. I bless you all.

 

Father Melvin

Resend Message From the Father to Lec - March 31, 2008

 

Message From the Father March 31, 2008

6:40 AM

 

Son, the days of preparation will soon come an end to be followed by event

after event. Your media will have difficulty covering the enormity of

devastation that will visit the earth which may take place anytime, anywhere,

waking up people to the stark realization that it is true the end times have

indeed arrived.

 

It grieves my heart at what I see but it is better that prophecy comes to

fulfillment this time than me staying my hand once more for if there is no end

of present things there will be no glorious beginning.

 

Tell my faithful not be sacred at my words for they are at the palm of my hands

and I will not allow them to be tested beyond their capacity to endure.

 

Tell them I wait their homecoming to my kingdom of real peace and happiness.

 

Message Reception Ended: 6:45 AM Duration: 5 Minutes

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, 2008

 

Jesus

 

My dear apostles, I speak to you from My heart, the seat of love. I speak to

you freely at this time to teach you about love. I desire that each of you

accept My love, which includes the love of all of heaven. Those who are

lukewarm and do not accept my love cannot help Me in My goal of renewal.

Those who are concerned with establishing their kingdoms on earth will lose

opportunities to seed the renewal each day. Those who postpone a full

commitment to My goals will find that they are sadly disappointed later, when

they realize how important their service was to Me. I rely on My apostles to be

passionate about service, seeking always to store up heavenly treasures in the

souls of those around them. Truly, no kind word, no compassionate silence, no

act of love is lost. Each of these is both used immediately and preserved

eternally. I understand that you are tired at times. I understand that you

become discouraged. I understand these things because in My humanity I

experienced these things. I allow these feelings in My beloved apostles because

their service to Me then becomes even more beneficial. Rest assured that you

have been given all that you need in strength and courage for each day's

service. There is no difficulty, from heaven's perspective, in an apostle

serving in weariness.

Most apostles served in weariness and the weariness that an apostle feels does

not mean that the fire of the Spirit is at risk of being extinguished.

Have no fear about this because I Myself tend to the presence of the Spirit in

your soul. This fire has been expertly banked so that it will burn for as long

as it needs to burn. Some day you will be finished with your service on earth.

The tasks that I need from you will be completed. This will be a joyful day for

you. You will see all that you have accomplished for Me. Yes, weariness comes

and goes, but love creates stamina that keeps the servant and the service

steady. In the time to come I intend to increase the capacity for love in each

apostle. This is necessary for heaven's goals and will enable My beloved ones

to serve with even greater dedication and humility. I will teach you more and

instruct you closely in the use of this gift as time passes. This heavenly

concession will greatly increase the effectiveness of My presence in your soul.

I am so grateful that you seek to remain close to Me. Rejoice, dear apostles.

I am with you.

WITH SWORD IN HIS HAND

 

 

SOME OF YOU, CHILDREN, ARE BEGINNING TO SENSE

THE STATE OF THE WORLD AND THE PENDING EVENTS.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE HOUR OR ITS IMPENDING FORCE,

BUT COMPARED TO WHAT HAS BEEN, IT WILL BE SOON MUCH WORSE.

 

THE WORLD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, HAS IGNORED MY ADVICE;

NOW MANKIND FOR THEIR SINS WILL HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE.

GOD GAVE MANKIND THE TIME FOR THEIR SINS TO REPENT,

BUT THEY CHOSE WITH SATAN THIS TIME TO BE SPENT.

 

AND NOW, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WITH SWORD IN HIS HAND

GOD WILL STRIKE EVERY PART WHERE SIN TARNISHED THIS LAND.

YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE GOD?S WRATH TO ESCAPE

IF YOU ENDORSED SATAN AND CHOSE GOD TO FORSAKE.

 

YET, THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO CARRY THEIR CROSS

WILL NOT FEEL THE FULL IMPACT OR SUFFER GREAT LOSS.

DO NOT JOIN THE ONES WHO MY WORDS NOW IGNORE

FOR THERE WILL BE NO TIME LEFT WHAT YOU LOST TO RESTORE.

 

THY WILL BE DONE

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 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 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.  Words and vision to Louise   Message List     Reply | Forward   Message #22819 of 22819 < Prev | Next >   From Mari K.  Words and vision to Louise  About two weeks ago L. told me that she kept smelling a very sweet fragrancethat smelled like cantaloupe.

(Pope John Paul II, Servant of God).

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

  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.

Words and vision to Louise  

 

  From Mari K.  Words and vision to Louise  About two weeks ago L. told me that she kept smelling a very sweet fragrancethat smelled like cantaloupe.

 

A few days later Fox News and local channelsshowed cantaloupe contained salmonella..The fruit appeared beautiful when youopened it up though. 

 

This week on the news now reported that they have found the salmonella in thecantaloupe from Mexico mk. I had shared with L. that I kept getting profoundimpression not to buy from Mexico.

 

Of course now that they have passed the lawthat abortion is alright we do not want to support them by buying anything theysell. Then between 9 am and 9:45 am this morning March 30, L. began smelling the verybeautiful fragrance of what she thought to be honeysuckle. ( she remembers thisfragrance well )..She then ask the Lord what am I smelling.

 

He then said 'honey'and showed her a vision of a honeysuckle bush. She was still smelling itoccasionally while we spoke and still is. Then the Lord showed her a vision of loaves of breads containing honey.Remember the bees pollinate on these vines and what we have been hearing aboutthe bees disappearing etc.

 

The chemtrails are planting all kinds of toxins,bacteria and poisons from the air in the water, air, and also in our foods. We must not panic and be at total peace and trust God but we must be so cautiousof anything containing honey now.

 

Again..always pray and discern. mk Also, I have noticed that anytime I would use honey that I would react to it andI have and had been a huge honey and Royal Bee Pollen and honeycomb user foryears and years but no longer had been using it.

Message From the Father

 

March 31, 20086:40 AM 

 

Son, the days of preparation will soon come an end to be followed by eventafter event. Your media will have difficulty covering the enormity ofdevastation that will visit the earth which may take place anytime, anywhere,waking up people to the stark realization that it is true the end times haveindeed arrived. 

 

It grieves my heart at what I see but it is better that prophecy comes tofulfillment this time than me staying my hand once more for if there is no endof present things there will be no glorious beginning. 

 

Tell my faithful not be sacred at my words for they are at the palm of my handsand I will not allow them to be tested beyond their capacity to endure. Tell them I wait their homecoming to my kingdom of real peace and happiness.

Fr. Melvin Doucette Messages

“Prepare yourselves to receive the New Pentecost”

Reading: John 20:19-23


Dear friends,

“Jesus stood in their midst and said to them (the Apostles), ‘Peace be with you.’” Luke 24:36

I spent a half-hour with Jesus, Our Lord, this morning in contemplative prayer. He said, “Melvin, My brother and sharer in My priesthood, I love you and I love all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the earth. I give you all My peace and joy, these great Easter gifts.

You will begin now to look forward to Pentecost, the great day during which the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles in the Upper Room. He came with great power upon them to strengthen their faith, to take away any fear, to be able to preach boldly the message I had given them and to begin My Church I had promised to build on Peter. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in various tongues as the Spirit prompted them. It was the Father and I who sent the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and we still send today the Holy Spirit upon all those who are open to receive Him.

There is need of a New Pentecost in the world. Through the New Pentecost, the Holy Spirit will come with power to revive My Church and bring to her unity, which is lacking among many. The Church must not be afraid to preach the truth, even if it hurts, to all the people of the world. She must work in the power of the Holy Spirit to foster holiness among all her members. Pray that the New Pentecost, which has already started in the world, may spread everywhere. Prepare yourselves to receive the New Pentecost. I bless you all.”

Father Melvin

O Mary, powerful Virgin,You are the mighty and glorious Protector of
the Church. You are the Marvelous Help of Christians. You are
Terrible as an Army set in Battle Array. You alone have destroyed
every heresy in the entire Church.

 

In the midst of my anguish, my  struggles and my distress, Defend me from the power of the enemy, and  at the hour of my death, Receive my soul into Paradise. Amen

 

Message to Eileen Renders March 30,2008


Mercy Sunday, March 30, 2008
 

Jesus' Mercy ~ Heavenly Treasures!

 

     At the 8:00 A.M. Mass I made humble offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. In preparation of receiving the most precious body and blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I made an Act of Contrition.

 

     After receiving the body and blood of Christ, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus and prayed that I may only hear His words or see only visions that come directly from Him. And I prayed, speak Lord, Your servant listens.

 

     Jesus responded to my prayer saying, My child Eileen, it has been some time since I have said these words to you and I want to affirm them once again to you now that all might know. Whatever you suffer for Me in My name will be the only treasures you take with you when you leave this life to meet Me in the next life. Those treasures will become the basis of how you will be rewarded in heaven.

 

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

 

Reflections: From this message from Jesus we are reminded that following god's Commandments are what is expected of the least of us. However giving of our lives over to Jesus even to the extent of enduring pain (emotion or physical) for His namesake is a sacrifice that Jesus Himself appreciates and will respond to when we go to meet Him.

MESSAGE FROM MARY
via Henri of Belgium

 
January 15, 2008

 
MARY:

 
My tiny little Henri, dear little child, this evening my mother's heart comes to find you to speak to all my dear little children.

 
Yes, you're surprised at the speed with which these messages are being spread, as those of your brother Dominique; it's when you abandon yourself totally and place your heart in my Immaculate Heart that I can act.

 
Times are here, my little one, and there's not one second to lose. That's why, and many times this has been told you, all will be happening faster and faster. Therefore you must be ready, my little ones, my loved ones. It's not the time to be dozing nor daydreaming. You must get under way! Wake up!

 
Take your rosary in your hand and pray it with love. Be soldiers of Love. Your indispensable arm is the prayer of the heart! You also have the Eucharist, the Confession, the Holy Bible, and the fast; but if it's not done with the heart, it serves no purpose. Motivate yourselves, get up; call on your guardian angels! Place yourselves under my Immaculate Mantle and take Saint Michael as your shield.

 
My children, I tell you again -- and the Holy Spirit shakes you and enlightens your hearts at this instant -- you must wake up! Come out of that stupor and get going! It's the hour! You must be ready! Are you?

 
My dear little children of Canada and Quebec, are you ready? Support and pray for your country! My Church is corrupt from within, eaten up by worm; you must be strong in the faith! Teach and spread my words! Be examples by your life. Assemble and pray! Organize now into prayerful little communities! Protect my holy sites! And where are your flags with our two United Hearts? Pray for France, Italy and the USA, for they are the ones who will be more profoundly shaken. Don't be afraid, and pray. I am speaking to your hearts.

 
My little Henri, write a little more. You are tired today and tomorrow we will continue this message. But write still that many hearts will be touched by these messages and will feel themselves called in different ways according to what I will have placed in their heart.

 
Thus, some will call you later on to come witness and speak before your brothers and sisters. Others will come toward you, inspired by the Holy Spirit! Yes, all is quietly falling into place.

 
Be small, simple, poor and remain in my Immaculate Heart.

 
Go, my dear children: pray! I'm lavishing numerous graces on you this evening.

Abbe Rene Laurentin On Prophecy

World-renowned Marian theologian, Fr. Rene Laurentin, comments on the timely new
book of Fr. Edward OConnor, CSC, I Am Sending You PROPHETS - The Role of
Apparitions in the History of the Church. Fr. OConnor will be speaking at the
Marian Prayer Group near Emmitsburg, MD, on April 6, 2008.

What Father OConnor dares to take up here is the eternal problem of
prophecy....(He) recalls the important place that women held among the early
prophets....Why is it that our world, in which scientific and technical progress
advance more and more rapidly, has so little room for authentic prophecy, called
to create a civilization of love? How can we awaken a receptivity - but one that
is likewise discriminating - to this source so little appreciated?...The account
offered here.... invites us to reawaken in the Church the spiritual factor,
which has been marginalized by technical and bureaucratic totalitarianism. (Fr.
Laurentin, July 7, 2004)

Message From Mother Mary Thru Lec- March 29, 2008

Message From Mother Mary March 29, 2008
6:40 AM

Son, my role as the Mother of the Savior, my son Jesus, is a role that was ordained by the Father even before conception in my mother's womb. God will never allow that His beloved son Jesus be born in sin, hence, His Divine Order that I was born immaculately.
It is my predestination conceived by the Father even before the creation of the first man, Adam. I am Mary, conceived without sin.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception in my remembrance testifies to the truth I revealed to you. But my role is not over yet as the Father saw fit to entrust me with certain tasks in these days before my son Jesus comes again for the second time, hence my appearing at various places of apparitions to convey heaven's messages.

I speak thru messengers to help me in the delicate task assigned to me to facilitate the spreading of these messages with the full approval, consent and specific directions of the Father, without whose permission this communication will never be possible.

Be encouraged therefore, all of you who help inform people of what they must know to prepare them for what is coming ? for there is no other way than this manner thru which we can help them.

Further Readings:

Feast of the Immaculate Conception From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Immaculate Conception by Francisco Zurbar�n.
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception celebrates the Roman Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is celebrated on 8 December, nine months before the Nativity of Mary, which is celebrated on 8 September.

History A feast called the Conception of Mary arose in the Eastern Church in the seventh century (prior to the Great Schism of 1054). It spread to the West in the eighth century. In the eighteenth century it became a feast of the Roman Catholic Church. It is the only one of Mary's feasts that came to the Western Church not by way of Rome, but instead spread from the Byzantine area to Naples, and then to Normandy during their period of dominance over southern Italy. From there it spread into England, France, Germany, and eventually Rome.

[1] Prior to Pope Pius IX's definition of the Immaculate Conception as Church dogma in 1854, most missals referred to it as the Feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The festal texts of this period focused more on the action of her conception than on the theological question of her preservation from original sin. A missal published in England in 1806 indicates the same collect for the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was used for this feast as well.[2] The first move towards describing Mary's conception as "immaculate"
came in the eleventh century. In the fifteenth century Pope Sixtus IV, while promoting the festival, explicitly tolerated those who promoted it as the Immaculate Conception and those who challenged such a description, a position later endorsed by the Council of Trent.

The proper for the feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Medieval Sarum Missal, perhaps the most famous in England, merely addresses the action of her conception.

The collect for the feast reads:
O God, mercifully hear the supplication of thy servants who are assembled together on the Conception of the Virgin Mother of God, may at her intercession be delivered by Thee from dangers which beset us.[3] In 1854, Pius IX made the infallible statement Ineffabilis Deus: "The most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instant of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin." [4] [edit]

Cultural impact It is a public holiday in Austria, Nicaragua, Chile, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Macau, Malta, Peru, and Paraguay. It is also a public holiday in the Philippines and is a Holy Day of Obligation, as it is in the United States and Ireland.
December 8th is also celebrated as mother's day in Panama in honor of this holiday and is therefore a national holiday.
[edit] Anglican Communion In the Anglican Communion, the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary may be observed as a Lesser Festival on 8 December, and many Anglo- Catholic parishes do so. Some parishes use the Roman Catholic nomenclature of "Immaculate Conception".

__._,_._ 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).

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


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

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 01 - May you be the hope and joy of mankind          

 

"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)

 

Message From Mother Mary Thru Lec- March 29, 2008


Message From Mother Mary March 29, 2008
6:40 AM

Son, my role as the Mother of the Savior, my son Jesus, is a role that was
ordained by the Father even before conception in my mother's womb. God will
never allow that His beloved son Jesus be born in sin, hence, His Divine Order
that I was born immaculately.
It is my predestination conceived by the Father even before the creation of the
first man, Adam. I am Mary, conceived without sin.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception in my remembrance testifies to the truth
I revealed to you. But my role is not over yet as the Father saw fit to entrust
me with certain tasks in these days before my son Jesus comes again for the
second time, hence my appearing at various places of apparitions to convey
heaven's messages.

I speak thru messengers to help me in the delicate task assigned to me to
facilitate the spreading of these messages with the full approval, consent and
specific directions of the Father, without whose permission this communication
will never be possible.

Be encouraged therefore, all of you who help inform people of what they must
know to prepare them for what is coming ? for there is no other way than this
manner thru which we can help them.

Message Reception Ended: 6:55 AM Duration: 15 Minutes

Feast of the Immaculate Conception From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The
Immaculate Conception by Francisco Zurbar�n.
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception celebrates the Roman Catholic dogma of
the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is celebrated on 8
December, nine months before the Nativity of Mary, which is celebrated on 8
September.


History A feast called the Conception of Mary arose in the Eastern Church in the
seventh century (prior to the Great Schism of 1054). It spread to the West in
the eighth century. In the eighteenth century it became a feast of the Roman
Catholic Church. It is the only one of Mary's feasts that came to the Western
Church not by way of Rome, but instead spread from the Byzantine area to Naples,
and then to Normandy during their period of dominance over southern Italy. From
there it spread into England, France, Germany, and eventually Rome.

[1] Prior to Pope Pius IX's definition of the Immaculate Conception as Church
dogma in 1854, most missals referred to it as the Feast of the Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. The festal texts of this period focused more on the action
of her conception than on the theological question of her preservation from
original sin. A missal published in England in 1806 indicates the same collect
for the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was used for this feast
as well.[2] The first move towards describing Mary's conception as "immaculate"
came in the eleventh century. In the fifteenth century Pope Sixtus IV, while
promoting the festival, explicitly tolerated those who promoted it as the
Immaculate Conception and those who challenged such a description, a position
later endorsed by the Council of Trent.

The proper for the feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the
Medieval Sarum Missal, perhaps the most famous in England, merely addresses the
action of her conception.

The collect for the feast reads:
O God, mercifully hear the supplication of thy servants who are assembled
together on the Conception of the Virgin Mother of God, may at her intercession
be delivered by Thee from dangers which beset us.[3] In 1854, Pius IX made the
infallible statement Ineffabilis Deus: "The most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the
first instant of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by
almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the savior of the human
race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin." [4] [edit]

Cultural impact It is a public holiday in Austria, Nicaragua, Chile, Spain,
Portugal, Italy, Macau, Malta, Peru, and Paraguay. It is also a public holiday
in the Philippines and is a Holy Day of Obligation, as it is in the United
States and Ireland.
December 8th is also celebrated as mother's day in Panama in honor of this
holiday and is therefore a national holiday.
[edit] Anglican Communion In the Anglican Communion, the Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary may be observed as a Lesser Festival on 8 December, and many
Anglo- Catholic parishes do so. Some parishes use the Roman Catholic
nomenclature of "Immaculate Conception".

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 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."

Pope John Paul II -

 

 

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)

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.

"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.

 

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

 

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."

https://www.angelfire.com/realm/blackcatholics/BlackSaintsVideos.html  Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 27,

2008 Prepare yourselves to receive the New Pentecost Reading: John 20:19-

23 Dear friends, Jesus stood in their midst and said to them (the Apostles), Peace be with you. Luke 24:36 Today I will pack and get ready for Rogersville, New Brunswick, where I will preach a three-day retreat at the monastery. I will leave tomorrow morning. There will be no message before Monday, March 31, as I will only return on Sunday late in the afternoon. On Monday at 7:00 p.m. I will celebrate Holy Mass at St. Simon & St. Jude Parish in Tignish, and Mr. David Little will speak right after the Mass. He is a very good speaker and he will speak about his close friendship with Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and about his meetings with the late Pope John Paul II. His main subject concerns tax-funded abortion and his desire to give all conceived children the right to be born and live in this world.  

I spent a half-hour with Jesus, Our Lord, this morning in contemplative prayer. He said, Melvin, My brother and sharer in My priesthood, I love you and I love all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the earth.

I give you all My peace and joy, these great Easter gifts.  You will begin now to look forward to Pentecost, the great day during which the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles in the Upper Room.

He came with great power upon them to strengthen their faith, to take away any fear, to be able to preach boldly the message I had given them and to begin My Church I had promised to build on Peter.

They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in various tongues as the Spirit prompted them.

 It was the Father and I who sent the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and we still send today the Holy Spirit upon all those who are open to receive Him.  

There is need of a New Pentecost in the world. Through the New Pentecost, the Holy Spirit will come with power to revive My Church and bring to her unity, which is lacking among many.

The Church must not be afraid to preach the truth, even if it hurts, to all the people of the world. She must work in the power of the Holy Spirit to foster holiness among all her members.

Pray that the New Pentecost, which has already started in the world, may spread everywhere. Prepare yourselves to receive the New Pentecost.

I bless you all. Father Melvin To send a personal message to Fr. Melvin, address your e-mail to: melvin.doucette@...

Message from Jesus via Henri of Belgium - Jan 15, 2008 (2 of 3) A priest from France is guiding the new messengers, Henri and Dominique; and thus far, four priests have approved their messages. 

 - Rita Doucet  2nd of 3 Messages of January 15(Translated from French) MESSAGE FROM JESUSvia Henri of Belgium January 15, 2008 JESUS:   

 My tiny little Henri, My Heart bleeds today before the choices of My children.  You are destroying yourselves and are weakening more and more by your behavior. Have a sane life, My little ones; how many times have I warned you?

 Your world is full of ideas and beliefs which are bound to commercialism and they are only concerned with making money. But on the other hand it is killing you and your children! 

You hesitate? My little ones, My holy Pope Karol has guided you for numerous years and he gave you Saint Hildegarde for saint. In My Heart, she has been saint for so long.

Through her, I have passed on instructions to you on your personal hygiene, your health, your nutrition and how to nurse yourselves.

 Make inquiries and keep count of it! I am repeating this particularly for those who doubt that My Voice can give you advice:

your Lord Jesus, Son of the living God, urges you in these end times to pay attention to your diet and to follow the advice of Saint Hildegarde.

 Don't arrive at the point of eating cloned food! Be very careful, My children! I have placed on your journey people to follow so as to guide you, and to avoid the snares of the evil one.

Professor Lejeune was one of those people! It's not simple alone, My children; therefore as My first disciples, I am asking you to gather in small communities of brothers and sisters.

May all be servant to one another. Get under way, My little ones; it is now that you must take these decisions. Help each other, pray for one another, for together you form one and same spiritual body!

Fast, My children! But not a fast to please! Fasting purifies the body but also your soul... it draws you close to Me.

The fast as the Rosary, both done with the heart are very powerful, such as you could never imagine. Pray and fast, My little ones! My little Henri, today I desire to speak to you again so that My children listen and act for the battle is under way! Each day, you must make of your day, an offering to God. Your prayers need not be eloquent or wordy nor impressive in speech.

No, just love. Love must be small, present and turned toward the Beloved One!  Have you understood? I repeat it to you again: There is no more time!

 The battle has begun in Heaven and it's no longer a question of hours, of days for it to take place on earth. Wrestle and fight with the armors of Faith!

Therefore I am calling all of you today, children of all nations: My little children! Wake up! Also, continue to spread these messages all around you to hearts receptive to My Words of life and love! I want you ready!

Thank you, My beloved children, who diffuse My messages around the world. To My children of Africa: People of Africa! My beloved children! I am your Jesus and in this long journey of suffering your continent is passing through, I invite you to hold your head high! Bear witness to your faith in Jesus Christ!

Be humble men and women! Respect one another! Be straight in your life for you know not the hour or time when your Savior will call you, or how you will fare before the Judgment! Your heart cries out its love for your Savior;

your heart cries tears of suffering! Your countries are invaded; you suffer martyrdom, poverty, illness! Others have it good, knowing families in Europe or elsewhere to help them!

Oh My suffering Africa! Rise up; don't kill, but live as united and faithful families! Pray a lot!

Don't concentrate on looks but on the person! Consecrate yourselves to Our Two United Hearts; live in the Divine Will, and get under way! Unite yourselves in prayer! Make Rosary chains!

Pray for one another! Pray, pray, pray for the children soldiers! What atrocities! But what Love. My Mother is with you! My Mother is close to you! As of now, aspire to holiness.

Pray for the conversion of the sects and for their return to the Catholic Church. Help one another and form support and prayer communities! Your rosaries will stop the wars, will stop the illnesses, will stop the inequalities! Have for sole concern, but to fulfill the Will of God. 

Live in peace with other religions while bearing witness to your Faith! Resist unto martyrdom! Never give in to violence or to vengeance! Pray for the Jews and the Musulmen. 

Honor My Holy Mother in your homes; place crucifixes in your rooms. Revive your love for God in your creation of clothes, boubous and shirts.

 May your art in sculpture and painting reflect your love for the Church. Little children of Africa go on pilgrimages. Listen to Me in the depths of your hearts.

Heal your wounds from generations passed by the healing of your genealogy tree.  Receive the Sacraments, mainly Confession and the Eucharist; spend numerous hours in Adoration. Pray, pray, pray! Have courage and faith. Raise your head for God loves you immensely and He is coming to soothe your pain!  Be soldiers of the Cross and stand firm!

Pray for Europe, so weak in faith and heading straight for its annihilation! They need you. I love you, My little ones. Help each other for in the eyes of God, there is no tribe, no race, no religion, no class; there is just Love. 

To My children of America: People of the Americas, My children! Today, your Jesus is calling you to enter the way of Divine Will! The north as well as the south, you represent excess to the world!

You have discoursed; you have studied; you have received numerous signs, but in spite of that you reject Me to pass immoral laws! Your countries are eaten away by drugs and you, monsters, who amass money through crime, your illegal and demonic trade, your human trade, your abortion acts, your inhuman medical research, your egocentric overflowing wallets and by your destruction of My nature, you dare call yourselves believers!

 Your atrocities sicken Me and today I say to you again: You're either with Me or against Me! If in your culture of death, it is impossible for you to hear My Voice through the racket of the demoniac voices which you have given yourselves over to, you will be awakened, shaken in no time by a powerful and brutal awakening!

 I can no longer allow such things without you having chosen it deliberately and freely! Change today, My children; for how it will be difficult if not impossible before long.

You're capable of the worst as well as the best! Convert! My little remnant of America! Such suffering for you! Gather and help one another!

Live as brothers and sisters, help each other; you have the means and the possibility to do it! Give witness to your faith! Dare as long as you still have the freedom! Before long your liberties will be taken away, that's why it is now that you must prepare yourselves! 

Spread My messages! Pray and spread the message, the sign, which is Our Lady of Guadalupe! Prepare yourselves but with a thought for mutual aid and sharing; if not you will lose all! You have been forewarned;

I am coming to awaken you!  Keep your lamps lit and be ready! Pray and fast! Remain strong in faith! I will not abandon My little remnant! I love you, My children, and I invite you again to conversion. To My children of Asia: 

People of Asia, My children! How My Heart suffers over the situation of your country! A hive of the industrial era! My children are but production machines, to support the God of money!

So many of My children martyrs! Pray, My little ones, for the conversion of China but also for all countries where war and religious conflicts reign...

Stop the massacres!  Oh poor children, you have received My messages of Akita; once more I give you My words and signs at Naju! But how My little ones have a need for prayers and help!

Unite in prayers; pray more than ever for the Spirit to make a chain reaction in all the hearts of this world! Call on Me, My children! I am so close to you! Oh how I bless and love My little Angela. You are so small yet so big in My Heart.

 Thank you for your Yes. Keep your courage and come closer to Me still, for I have heard your call and I wish to answer it. There are many little Angelas in Asia; they are often isolated but so loving and humble. 

Your countries are boiling with menaces and these will only be stopped by your prayers and your fasting. Through your life My breath can touch many hearts.

 Advance with Me today in the life of the Divine Will! Oh My little child, you love and desire to give Me your all.

Let us stop here for tonight and tomorrow we will continue. I bless you in a particular way this night so that you'll all receive the Peace of God and that your hearts will light up with Love!

The Visit of our Dear Mother, Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, the Mother of Life on March 25, 2008

 
Dear friends,
 

I was called to go to the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 1:05 p.m. as the Blessed Virgin Mary was waiting for me. I went up and knelt in the front of the altar and there She was with the Child Jesus in Her arms. She was dressed as usual with a long white dress with a blue veil on Her head. Jesus was dressed as He is seen in the picture painted by Amanda Richard.

 

Our Lady said, Melvin, My son, I love you and bless you. I am here again in this beautiful little shrine built in My honour. Do not be afraid or worried, Melvin. Be at peace and may Jesus, My Son, fill you with His love and joy. I lay My hand on your head and pray for healing, both spiritually and physically. Little Jesus also places His two hands on your head for a special blessing. Please hold the Child Jesus in your arms, as He loves you very much. (I held Him in my arms for a few minutes and gave Him back to His Mother.)

 

My great desire as you know is for you to build as soon as possible My great shrine here. I want the shrine on Palmer Road just in the back of the prayer room. This is the spot I have chosen in Prince Edward Island, an island blessed by My Son Jesus and also blessed by Me. This is the only place in North America where abortions are illegal. I am the Mother of Life and I want all unborn children to be born in this world. It is the right of these children in the womb of their mothers to live on earth and come to know Jesus, My Son, as their Saviour and to follow Him so that one day they will be in heaven with Us. My shrine will be a light to the world to defend the unborn and to teach the people about the sacredness of life from conception to natural death. They will call on all those who believe in Jesus to be pro-life.

 

I am working to bring about the construction of this important shrine. I call on the Church to give her permission for the building of this shrine on Palmer Road as soon as possible. I am your Mother who is asking you, the leaders of the Church, for your cooperation. I have also asked for an inn to be constructed near the shrine for those who will come to pray and to work at the shrine.

 

It is sad that very few women are entering the sisterhood today. Many of the congregations are dying for lack of candidates. I strongly advocate the foundation of the Contemplative Sisters of Jesus at My shrine and I assure you that many will come to join this congregation. My Son Jesus also wants, as soon as possible, the establishment of the Contemplative Brothers of Jesus and this too should be founded at My shrine. We need a new revival of the faith in the world and these are great means to bring this about. I pray for these societies constantly.

 

Before I leave you, Melvin, My son, I must call again for the conversion of all My sons and daughters that they may leave sin behind and come to follow Jesus, My Son. Return now before it is too late. Darkness is spreading throughout the world because of sin, and if this continues you will have much to suffer. Repent and enter the Church founded by Jesus and if you are faithful, Jesus and I will welcome you in heaven one day.

 

I bless you and may all of you be filled with Easter joy.

 

Father Melvin

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 25, 2008

 

I am the Resurrected Jesus

 

Reading: John 20:19-23

 

Dear friends,

 

Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, I have seen the Lord. John 20:18

 

We will have Eucharistic Adoration at our church today at 5:00 p.m. for one hour. I will celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 this evening so our visitor, David Little, can attend.


I am getting ready to go to the Trappist Monastery in Rogersville, New Brunswick. I will give a retreat in French at the monastery itself starting Friday evening and ending Sunday at noon.


Today is the traditional day to celebrate the Annunciation but as it is during the Octave of Easter, the celebration of this great feast is transferred to March 31 this year.

 

I was in prayer early this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and God, and He said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I fill your hearts with joy during this Easter season as heaven and earth celebrate My Resurrection. The Church has extended the celebration of the Feast of Easter for eight days and this period is called the Octave of Easter. After reliving My Passion and death on the cross, you need to rejoice with Me now that I am raised from the dead.

 

The Resurrection is a great event in the life of every Christian. Your faith is founded on the Resurrection, which I predicted three times before it happened. The Apostles could not grasp it, as the Resurrection did not mean anything to them. They had never seen a person come back from the dead. After I came back from the dead, I appeared to the Apostles for forty days in order to revive their faith and to teach them all they needed to know.

 

All you who believe in Me, I have given you all a special gift at Easter. I filled you with My joy. This joy is expressed in the word alleluia. The more you say this word, the greater joy you will have in your heart. My Resurrection brought Me very close to each one of you. I no longer live in one place in Israel but now I am present everywhere in every city or village in the world where there are people who believe in Me. I also live in your heart if you follow Me and cooperate with My grace. I wish to remain forever in your heart so that we have a close and personal bond of love. Spend time in prayer with Me. I am the Resurrected Jesus who is your great friend. I love you.

 

Father Melvin

Message to Louise March 26,2008


HYPERCRITICAL
MESSAGE via L., V+J
March 26, 2008- - -10:30 A.M.

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

Then Almighty God spoke, " To all My children: Take a good look around you,
imbed it in your memory for the face of the earth is about to change forever.
Nothing that I created pure and clear remains! All has been completely
destroyed by man (humans).

My punishment will come rapidly until all filth, all sin is completely
removed- -forever. Oh, how My people suffer, all creatures too! People will
die by the millions- -both My followers and all devil followers.

Do as I tell you and save your immortal soul. You've made your bed- -lie in
it! Your eternal choice, your eternal life is Heaven with Me OR Hell with
satan!

While you still have breath within you give up hate, pride, anger, and
choose love NOW! Only true heart-felt love can save you and your world from the
bonds of evil!

Yes, children, today much WILL change permanently! By the forthcoming,
mandatory, insert of the 'CHIP' you WILL be possessed- -your complete mind, all
your thoughts AND your actions. You will instantly be a 'zombie' of satan's.

You will march freely to torture and death chambers! Today IS the turning
point! Hell WILL fill rapidly with satan followers, worshippers.

For thousands and thousands of years I have warned you. You refused to
listen and to obey. NOW suffer for your foolish choices, suffer the
consequences- -eternally! AMEN!!!"



Note: (mk)
Today ALWAYS means in His Timing. (not ours)

 

Teaching from the Lord through "The Girl of my Will in Jesus" - 2003-06-28


Gathering of Love with God's Action in Saint Liguori, Quebec, Canada
Through his Instrument, the Girl of My Will in Jesus


2003-06-28



Jesus: I am with each one of you, God's presence is within you.

Do not doubt me, do not doubt yourselves.

You and I, we are together and it is together, my children, that we will give
ourselves.

I gave myself to my Father for the sake of love, give yourselves to my Father in
me, for the sake of love.

You must learn that in order to give love it is necessary to be love, and to be
love it is necessary to die in Jesus.

To die in Jesus is not to renounce what you are, it is to discover who you are,
it is to discover the true worth of your life.

You are children of God, you are God's loved ones.

You must learn to love yourselves, to discover why you are the way you are,

why God loves you like this.

Oh! Children of love, I knew you before you did, before you committed sins, and
I continued loving you even knowing who you would become because of sin.

My love has not diminished, I love you just as much.

I want you to learn to love yourselves.

It is understood that I cannot ask you to love that side of you that has made
you suffer.

I am speaking to you, my children, of sin; I do not want you to love sin, I want
you to learn to discover yourselves through your weakness, I want you to learn
to accept yourselves with what you have become because of sin.

It is up to me to correct you, it is up to me to return to you the purity of
your being.

When you turn to me, to my priest, to confess your sins, you become, through
your yes, a child who is giving his consent to my transforming him.

It is I, the Divine Will, who will turn you into the children that my Father
wishes, not you.

I, I am waiting for your consent.

When you come to Confession to tell my priest that you regret an action, a
thought, a feeling: you become a child of the yes, you agree to become a child
who wants to be taken by God.

God will force no one to become what he does not want to become: a child who
wants to be transformed by my graces.

Even if you bore the original sin within you because of your first parents, when
you come into this world: you are love.

Through the sacrament of Baptism you enter into my family, God's family: the
family of love.

You are children of love.

But because of your human will, you are inclined to commit sins because within
you, there is evil, and evil is there due to your human will.

I, Jesus, I, The Love, want to take care of you from your birth and it is
through your parents that I want to take care of you. How shall this take place:
your protection?

Through prayer, through the gift your parents make from your birth.

Children of love, most of you are adults, most of you are parents: you must pray
for your children.

If your children are adults themselves, enter into the Divine Will and pray:
pray as if your children were newborns.

And you, the men who are here, and you, the women who are here and who have not
brought children into the world, pray in the Divine Will, pray: pray because you
carry parents within you, pray for the newborns, for I, the Divine Will, I do
not live only in your time for I am the Alpha and the Omega, there is no time
within me: pray for the children of The Love.

Children of love, you yourselves shall receive graces of love for within you,
you carry parents; they will pray for you, they will pray in the Divine Will
because you are in the Divine Will: everything within me is movement, pray for
the newborns.

Only God can bring about this movement of love for when you pray in the Divine
Will, it is not you who pray, it is I, Jesus.

I bring about this movement out of love for you.

I want to make you discover the true worth of your presence, here, in this
world, for your sake.

Listen to these words, they are for each one of you.

?Little one, a day of love is on its way just for you.

At this very moment, you are entering my world, you are with me, you are a child
of God.

Through the power of my love, you receive love; through God's power, you receive
my Father's blessing.

I have you within me, I carry you within me: you are love.

Enter more deeply within me, come, abandon yourself even more, come to where I
am: in God you are, you are in my presence.

You are love, you contain all purity within you: everything about you is God's
work.

My Father wants you for himself, he wants you to be his child of love for
eternity.

You were chosen by my Father, you are love. The Power is speaking to you, Power
covers you.

You are not yet part of this world, for you are in me, you are in the Divine
Will: discover God's power.

I am the Alpha and the Omega: you are part of my Being; I am the Life, Eternal
Life, and you are in my Life.

Do not doubt what I shall reveal to you: life.

You are, at this very moment, in the presence of your life, your life in me: the
Life.

I am Jesus, I am the Son of God.

I have the power to turn you into a perfect being because you are perfect, you
are in my image.

Even at the moment when you will be born into the world, you will always be with
me, I shall never leave you because you are made from me.

Your entire being shall be made from my Being, for before you come into this
world, I, the Son of God, I shall come into this world, and you shall be like
me: human. It is my Father's power that wishes me to speak to you within you, in
the deepest part of you, which is abandoned to me.

Do not hang onto your human will, do not leave me because of your thoughts, stay
with me, there, in the deepest part of yourself, savour this unique moment in
your life. You are in the presence of the Divine Will.

You were created from me.

Your body was created from my Father's creation, just like me, who came into
this world with a human Body.

I am the Perfection and you are perfection; I want you to never forget these
words.

All that you are, as a human, is made from what I, I am made of: Man-God.

Give God a chance to allow you to understand the very power of his power.

All that you are, is made from what I, I am, for before any human was created on
earth: I, I was.

When even before this was created: all of creation, my Father was in me and I, I
was in my Father.

I, I was Man-God before you, for in the Divine Will, I was.

You see, the human being could not have been created before the Son. The fall of
the angel was caused because he saw me and he refused to adore the Man-God.

At this very moment, you are learning that I was, above all, in everything that
my Father had created, for I am the beloved Son of the Father and you, you are
made of what I am, you were created in my likeness: you have so much power
within you! Discover the true worth of your human side.

Let the Divine Will take everything within you.

I was before you, and this is what I want you to be always, even after you come
into this world.

Right now, I am speaking to you according to what you are at this moment.?

Children of love, you have a treasure inside you!

You have within you God's presence in all his divinity and you also have within
you

the presence of God made man.

Abandon yourselves in Jesus, let the Blood of Jesus flow within you, let
yourselves be transformed by the graces of the power of the Divine Will.

Children of love, your body is made from God's power: abandon it to God.

.

All the flesh that you are made of: renounce it and God will take all of it and
turn it into what Jesus wants to give you: his Flesh.

Did you not just receive the Body and the Blood? Realize how much God gives
himself to you and give yourselves, give yourselves completely.

Develop this abandonment by uttering yeses while not analysing these yeses; be
like little babies.

It will be easier for you to understand God's action for when you try to
understand with what you have become throughout the years, this is more
difficult for you.

Act as a child who allows himself to be picked up, do as he does, lay your head
down, relax your muscles! Do not be afraid that you will be dropped!

It is necessary to understand abandonment: it is to let everything go, it is to
walk away from everything, it is to let go of fear.

God knows you better than you do, God has seen everything about you, he loves
you, he wants to take you as you are.

He wants your yes and he is the one who will turn you into children of the
Divine Will.

Understand all the power you have within yourselves.

The present is the moment in which you must abandon yourselves.

What is going to happen in an hour does not belong to you, what happened a few
moments ago no longer belongs to you, what is present belongs to God.

And so, do you see that nothing belongs to you? Just give your yes and God will
do everything for you.

Be faithful.

I gave everything to my Father.

I saw everything that was going to happen, but in a surge of love for my Father,
I said yes to my Father.

And even if my Body was covered in Blood when the angel presented the chalice to
me: that Blood was a yes, my children: a loving yes.

I accepted everything, and so you accept as well: accept your future, accept
your past as well, my children.

Even if this makes you suffer, even if this will make you suffer, and even if
this has made you suffer: carry that yes, it is in this chalice, do not hold it
back.

I drank of the bitterness and so, my children, abandon yourselves in me, Jesus,
for I know who you are better than you.

Abandon yourselves in me, Jesus.

My children of love, this time is so precious to you!

At each moment you discover how much God my Father has loved you, and if you do
not become aware of this externally, give it to me.

I will take charge of making you realize this, one moment at a time, so that you
are not crushed by the enormity of this discovery.

You are enveloped by my Father's love, you are in God, you are in me, Jesus.

I want you to be love.

Oh! My children, this time is making you go forward towards my Father's Kingdom,
this time is making you go forward towards my Father's reign on earth.

But before entering my Father's Kingdom you must know my Father's reign on earth
as in Heaven.

Oh! Children of love, it is grace for you to discover the peace within you, the
joy within you.

At this very moment, if this does not seem to you as you thought it was, this
requires a yes of abandonment, for your human will cannot perceive the immensity
of my Father's love, the human will cannot perceive my Father's action within
you and within those you carry.

Leave to God what belongs to God.

I want you to give yourselves.

Children of love, the choice is yours: if you want to live as children of God,
you must say yes and give my Father what belongs to my Father.

Children of love, if you are waiting to say your yes, you will continue using
your human will while knowing what is on the other side of the medal: everything
for yourselves, only for yourselves, while enduring your sufferings alone.

You see, my children, God respects who you are, but the moment in which you say
a tiny little yes, then God takes everything you are ? God, he does not do
things halfway.

Even if you, you believe that your little yes does not bring you what you
desire,

God, who knows you better than you do, knows the degree of your abandonment.

I am speaking like this because you carry within you children who are hesitant,
you carry within you children who are afraid, who have no confidence, who ask
themselves if all this is of any use in their present-day lives.

Children of love, I reveal these things to you through this instrument of love
because you have already begun to relinquish your human will to God, just like
this instrument of love, who has uttered her yes, allows herself to be
transformed by us, the Divine Will, at every moment of her life.



She has not yet achieved her full transformation, and you, my children, have not
yet achieved your full transformation! It is like this little baby, it is at
every moment that he grows, and yet, he does not realize it.

One day, he will look at himself in a mirror and he will say: once, I was a
baby.

You see, your transformation is like this.

When you will see me, you who have agreed to be transformed by God, you will say
to yourselves: I once was in my human will, and today, I am in the Divine Will.

All this will be done through me, through God's power, without a single effort
on your part.

What I am asking from you is complete abandonment at every single moment.

A yes, my children, and I do everything. I love you, my beloved.

I want to take your yes from within you at this very moment and present it to my
Father, enveloped in my yes.

Beloved, beloved, I love you. Love, love you shall be, through me, in the Divine
Will.

Amen, my children of love.



Blessing from Abbot Andrï Chevalier: How wonderful it is, Lord, to be gathered
together near you, with you and in you. You once gathered your apostles Peter,
John, and James on the mountain when you were transfigured and they were able to
see more fully the greatness of the mystery of the Son you gave us.

But they who
wanted to build their tents so as to stay on the mountain forever, you surprised
them by saying no, go back down and return to life, to the world, to the plain,
to bear witness. And so, thank you Lord for this meeting on the mountain and
now, enable us to go back down in joy, in peace, in serenity. Enable us to find
the strength throughout the week to come.

 

Enable us to find the songs of joy to
thank and praise you. May almighty God, Father, Son and Spirit, bestow his
blessings upon you in abundance, may he give you the joy of his love and mercy:
in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

All: Amen.



The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: graces of love, Lord, to bear
witness to his action, he doesn't want me to let my human will to surface.

He says that everything must be enveloped in his power of love, he says that
it's the Holy Spirit who will penetrate hearts.

It's with simple words that he wants to address us, it's with ordinary words,
too.

He's making us discover something wonderful that we're not used to hearing
about.

To go within ourselves, to live these moments of deep intimacy with Jesus,

this is wonderful, you know! I'm doing this with you.

It happens that I do this at home, quite often, but it's private, alone in front
of his Holy Face, but now, it's in front of all these people! He reveals himself
and he wants us to discover him, but in his own way, not ours.

What he does is done with simplicity, it's done according to what we are.

He doesn't want us to be someone else, he doesn't want us to be anything other
than what we are.

You know, what I've just heard, me too, just like you, led me to the discovery
of something I didn't know.

You know, when we begin to discover God's greatness in his Divine Will, oh, my
God, it's amazing! And, at the same time, it's so deep!

You have to abandon yourself with trust: complete trust!

The words I've just said, they?re words that were inside me; I heard them, I
repeated them.

I couldn't have done otherwise because those words flowed through me like water
from a fountain; I couldn't analyze them, I couldn't stop anything, I received,
and I spoke.

It was The Love who spoke to us, it's The Love who's making us discover what he
expects of us.

Every day, we live with our little habits; we work with our children, with our
phones, with our outings that we plan on making, our studies, with all this, but
at the same time we live with God's love.

This doesn't seem real to us! Is is possible to live like this, so close to God?

You know, it's been since 2001 that I have been hearing Jesus inside me, and I
can't get used to it, it's too beautiful, it's too wonderful! I just got back
from western Canada: twelve days of hearing God talking like this with my
brothers and my sisters.

It's not the same thing when I'm alone: when I'm alone, it?s intimate, it's
about teachings; it's not exactly the same thing, it's something that really
takes hold of me!

Can you see the difference? When Jesus talks inside me, I let him talk; it's
like a voice that is inside me and I don't do anything, I listen to him. But
now, right now, when I'm with you, he takes who I am, he uses what I am to talk
to you: this is completely different! There's a part of my human will that is
involved; when I hear Jesus, there is abandonment, I abandon myself, I listen to
him like you listen to a friend, it's as simple as that! It's as if I were
listening to you talk.

But in this case, it?s not the same thing; he takes my human will and he uses it
to talk to you: this is a commitment, this is a public yes, this is a yes that
performs an action, it?s an active yes, this isn?t the same thing! When I give
my yes at home, when I give my yes at every moment, well, it's a yes that's
completely abandoned in Jesus, I let go, just as I'm letting myself go right
now; but the fact is that I realize that I've just committed myself to what I'm
doing, I've just committed myself with regards to society, on a human level.

I've just realized I knew this before but I've just realized it even more
deeply, that people can throw tomatoes at me, that they can say to me: She's a
liar, she's crazy, she's making this stuff up.

But this, this is a yes that brings commitment with it and I believe that he
makes me go forward in his Divine Will as he wishes, in his action, like he
lived on earth how many things our Jesus of love must have endured!

You know, when we become aware of Jesus' love, it's beautiful: Ah! Jesus loves
us, it's wonderful!

But when we understand his human will, he lived a yes before my little nothing
of a yes that I just pronounced at this moment, but his yes was a yes uttered in
his humanness: this led him to endure the cross.

What is the most important thing I have discovered? A yes of love, a yes that
gave itself to save our lives But I also discover a yes in Jesus who accepted to
be crucified, a yes (in Jesus) who accepted that we ridicule him.

I am, at this moment, standing behind him.

I feel that I am behind Jesus who is talking, just as he spoke to the Pharisees
who had created laws.

They were important men, and he offended them out of love for his Father.

Are we prepared to do the same? Are we ready to back up our yes? You know, to
say yes to Jesus in the Divine Will is perhaps an easy yes, but a yes pronounced
before everybody while facing the consequences:

that's allowing yourself to be enveloped by the yes of Jesus that he said on
earth.

When Jesus asked me to take him in my hands (during a vision), it was his Body
that I held in these hands.

He spoke of his Body earlier, of his human side, but he also wants us to give
our yes against all odds, despite what they will all think about me and about
you as well.

It doesn't mean much, you know, when you say it in front of your children, in
front of your friends, but when you say it out there, when it goes further than
these walls, then it has consequences! Jesus, his yes bore consequences: it
brought him to carry a Cross, our cross, because his Cross was made of our
cross.

Jesus' yes even led him to being judged by his friends, by his own apostles who
were afraid.

You know, when his apostles fled, Jesus found himself all alone with his yes, he
went forward all alone while carrying our human yeses.

The yeses that we're in the process of giving, he carried them.

At this very moment, we're entering into the Divine Will, we're entering into a
complete yes: an internal yes and an external yes, and this yes will lead us to
enduring the consequences, but we won't be able to endure them if we don't give
them to Jesus, because he carried them before us.

Jesus carried his Cross, our cross.

Jesus allowed himself to be ridiculed because we're going to be ridiculed due to
our yes.

You know, when he said, Happy are those who will be ridiculed because of my
Name, that's our yes, too, but: it's a yes that will lead us to eternal life,
it's a yes that will get us through the step required to enter his New Earth,
it's a yes said in the Divine Will.

To live in the Divine Will is to abandon everything.

It's to say to our human will: I don't want you anymore, I want to live in the
Divine Will.

It's great to do this on the inside but now we have to do this on the outside
and this will lead us to movements that will not always be easy for us, because
we're still going to have our human will that eats us up inside and wants to
hold us back.

Because before, when I finished talking, all of a sudden I saw the consequence
of my yes, just like that! I had just understood that I had to give a yes
externally: a total yes.

I gave my total yes on the inside so that he could use me; I didn't even know
that by giving my yes I was going to be doing what I am doing right now.

It was easy up until this very moment to give my yes, but when you hear words
like the ones we've just heard, they're words of testimony from the Will of the
Father, from the Divine Will, against all odds:

against those who remain in their human will.

You know, we have built a society with human will, we have Lord taught our
children, we were taught with human will, we have instituted laws with human
will and with human will, as well, we want God's laws to be respected, but
always with our human will!

But when we discover that God's laws are not like human laws, controversies
always crop up. Why? Because we started with what God gave us but we used it
with our human will.

So, God is coming into us, he wants to talk to us.

At this moment, he wants us to learn that this time is coming to an end.

A time is coming when God's laws will be respected with his Will of love, with
his Divine Will: this, this will be different! As you can see, our yes will have
to be solid, and it's God who will make it solid so that we will be able to bear
witness to our yes externally.

How is this going to happen? We're not the ones who are going to do this, it's
God; but, on the other hand, we're going to have to continue saying our yes
despite the consequences of what he's going to make us do.

This means that when we're going to bear witness to God's action inside us, when
we're going to let God turn us into children of the Divine Will, we're still
going to have to continue seeing children who haven't said their yes and who are
going to hear: us who have said our yes.

They're not always going to agree with what we say but, by continuing to say our
yes with humility, with littleness, knowing that nothing comes from us, but from
God: we will go on.

Do you know why?

Because we will know how much Jesus loves us.

When I went to talk with our good priest earlier, he was talking and Jesus was
saying to me, Listen, listen to him, and do you know what he was doing, Jesus?
He was enveloping me in love, and this is how we will face all odds:

by letting God envelop us in his love.

When I first began doing this, Jesus spoke, his first book: love; in it, he
talks only about love.

You ask yourself why is he always talking about love, it's repetitive Well, I
can assure you that it isn't repetitive.

We need to hear God, at every moment, telling us how loving he is, telling us
how loving the Holy Spirit is, how loving Jesus is, how his Mother let herself
be enveloped in this love.

We need this!

We need to meditate book one, we need to grasp this love, to eat it: yes, we
need to eat of this nourishment, this is what we need, a food that nourishes us.

We need God's love like we need the air, like we need the light, we need God's
love in order to utter our yes and to be able to keep our yes strong, even after
we learn that we have to go forward with what we discover.

We must go on, we must be obedient.

Yes, we must carry our cross, yes, we must accept to suffer the agony with
Jesus, in Jesus, in the Divine Will.

We must enter into Jesus.

This gesture that he made, this movement of love, this is our life: this is our
yes! We must not stop carrying our cross, we must rise up to the moment when God
will make us see his Glory.

If Jesus carried his Cross, if Jesus took all those steps, it was to show us
that we too must do so.

And God rewarded him, he resurrected him.

He resurrected him, he was glorified, and we're going to be glorified in Jesus.

In the Divine Will, this movement has already been accomplished.

He has already done everything we're living at this very moment.

He knew you were going to be present, he knew my reaction earlier, he knew that
I needed my priest in order to get through an external yes.

Yes, I will go on, I don?t know what tomorrow has in store for me, he knows. We
must go on!

We have taken a step together, there are others to be taken.

When he says that he's coming, that his Kingdom is coming to earth, well, it has
begun! His Father's Kingdom is on earth: when Jesus came on earth, he came in
his Name, he came to talk about his Father's Kingdom on earth.

So, at this very moment, we?re in Jesus, we?re in the Divine Will, we?re living
in his Father's Kingdom on earth.

Hey, this isn?t what we thought, is it? We thought it would be, bang! All of a
sudden! No, that?s not it.

We have to go through Jesus.

We have to follow the same path that he followed, in the same way as he did.

We live in Jesus, so we must live the Life of Jesus, as we are.

Jesus is the Son of God, Mary is Mary in Jesus, just like the apostles were the
apostles in Jesus, just like we are us in Jesus.

We?re all different, but we?re all the same in Jesus.

We?re in the process of discovering an incredibly powerful love: God's love
inside us, God's power inside us.

God is making us become once again what we should have been, and so,

we?re going backwards and at the same time, he's making us go forward.

Going backwards: we renounce everything, we renounce our human will, we want
nothing to do with sin, we renounce all that is worrisome: no, I don?t want
anything to do with that feeling, I don?t want any anxiety, I don?t want to see
myself as weak, I give it to you, Jesus.

Carry all this, Jesus, you carried it in the Cross.

I want to go back to what I was before, in you, Jesus, very little.

And, at the same time, he makes us go forward, he make us go forward with an
external yes in the Divine Will, a loving yes: yes, I want to go forward; yes, I
want to carry my cross, just like you Jesus, in you, Jesus.

Me, I am not able to do this, but you, Jesus, you are able to do this.

You showed us that we had to turn to the Father, but this is what we?re living:

we?re dying in Jesus, and we?re living in the Divine Will.

This is incredible! It?s true that we?re a tiny bit confused.

Leave that up to God, he's going to clarify that for us.

It?s not up to us to do all that, but let?s savour this moment in which we?re
discovering: the wonder of wonders, God's work.

We are God's work, in his work.

Who are we to be hearing this? Who are we to be savouring these moments? Well,
we?re God's children.

Thank you, my God.

That?s all! There's no need to put ourselves down, we?ve been putting ourselves
down for too long, we need only say:

?Yes, we are God's children and this is how you want us to be.?

There's a lot to do but the wonderful thing is that we?re not the ones who are
doing it, it?s you, God; and there are so many things that he?s teaching us that
we need to absorb.

I feel something wonderful inside me that sort of wants to explode but, at the
same time, God is calming me down.

I remember not long ago, well, maybe not 5 minutes or even 10 minutes ago, it
was probably sometime this morning: Are you going to say something new, Jesus?
What are we going to say?

Hey! Lord, do we have a lot to learn! We have a lot to learn! And such wonderful
things! Do you know why? Because we're entering into the Divine Will and the
Divine Will is infinite.

Let's allow the Divine Will to flow within us: God is talking to us.

That's all we have to do: to listen and to let ourselves be transformed.

Let's always benefit, at every moment from what he has shown us: his Word.

It's through his Word that we'll understand everything.

He has said all there is to say, but we haven't been able to understand!

But that's not our fault, that's due to our human will!

And now, he's in the process of making us discover it in the Divine Will because
he knows that we're ready.

We're entering into the Divine Will: we go forward, we welcome, we continue
praying.

Prayer is a conversation with God and this conversation must be done in Jesus.

It is Jesus who must do it, not us.

He's asking us for a yes, he's asking us for no more; so, when we talk, when we
pray, it's in Jesus: he's the one who will take everything.

He made me discover something wonderful: prayer with all our brothers and
sisters; this goes further than praying in ourselves.

We must pray in the Divine Will with our external yes.

All this means, Lord, is that I allow your Word to come through.



Jesus: Children of love, you have known prayer groups; these prayer groups were
formed by my children of the Light.

My children of the Light gather together to pray, to give God their requests so
they may obtain graces of love, graces of wisdom, of piety, of intelligence,
graces of science, graces of abandonment, of healing, of liberation.

Children of love, when a prayer group prays, it prays in the Divine Will, it
prays with all my children.

I want an external yes: I want you to pray with all prayer groups, I want all
prayer groups to unite in order to form only one group in the Divine Will.

Oh! Children of love, do not take yourselves for little children capable of
praying, let God pray within you.

Pray with all children, gather together, unite your strength.

You are little! When a prayer group claims it prays and it prays with another
group, and that group joins another, and that one joins another to form but one
group, I turn them into lights on earth: I want to turn you into one prayer
group.

Children of love, you must come together, you must form but one single prayer
group.

If you pray with intentions, can you realize the power you would have if you
gathered together all the prayer groups of the entire world? Do not remain as an
individual group.

Pray in me, Jesus, I am the Church and the Church is one: the Church is
everywhere, my children. I am not telling you to not form groups like the Flame
of Love, like the Marial group, this must remain, but you must unite these
groups with other groups to form one force to crush Satan.

He himself has formed groups, my children, and in his darkness, he unites his
groups.

I, the Light, I want you to be the light within the Light.

I want you to be children, little, humble; stop competing with one group of
light or with another group of light.

I speak in hearts, I am the Heart of The Love.

My Mother, the Immaculate Heart, she is in my Heart: we form one single Heart,
there is no greater Heart than mine.

May every prayer group be part of one and only prayer group; you will light up
the entire earth. Such is my Father's Will.

Beloved, I love you. Beloved, be obedient, open your hearts, let the hearts of
all children enter and I, along with my Mother, I envelop your hearts in order
to form but one heart, the Heart of The Love.

Love one another as I love you.

May I ask my priest to extend his loving hands over all the prayer groups of the
entire world,

so that they may welcome my words It is up to you, my son, to know if you wish
to continue giving.

Give, give, my loving son.

Amen.



Blessing from Abbot Andr� Chevalier: While looking at the statue of the
Blessed Heart that is in her hands, I think we have heard a beautiful appeal: to
form the Church, to gather together, ecclesia, to meet: it's the same word. Send
your Spirit, Lord, over your people, gathered together.

Send your Spirit, Lord, so that we may form one Church, one single Church: one,
holy, Catholic and apostolic.

Unite the hearts of all those who are part of movements, of groups, of teams, so
that they may learn the path of unity, so that they may learn to become brothers
and sisters for one another.

Send your Spirit so that the Advent of the Body of Christ might take place
everywhere, especially where it is still unknown and here at home where we are
in the process of forgetting about it. Through Jesus Christ who lives and
reigns: in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.



All: Amen.

"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)

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 28 - Encounter the living God

 

Message of March 25, 2006  
"Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of
holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way which my Son has chosen. Through each of your tribulations and sufferings God will find the way of joy for you. Therefore, little
children, pray. We are close to you with our love. Thank you for
having responded to my call."

 

 

Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord:
"In an instant the Holy Spirit overshadows her [Mary], making her a living ciborium privileged to bear within herself for nine months the Guest who is the Host of the world" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).


 

"Our Father Who are in Heaven in the heaven of the Eucharist . . . may we in all humility and zeal make You known, loved and adored by all men in the Holy Eucharist . . .  Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Eucharistic Kingdom.  Rule Thou alone forever over us for Your greater glory through the power of your love" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).


Mother Teresa -

We obtain grace in proportion to our sanctity, to our fervor, and to our degree of union with our Lord.


 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The angels are jealous of us for one reason only; they are not able to suffer for God. Only through suffering can a soul say the certainty, "My God, You see I do love You!" (FM, 166).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

If we don't know about something we can't get passionate about it!

"Passion cannot operate unless we have an idea about something. A woman will not `get mad' at a bargain counter, unless she knows that someone is getting the better selection. We speak of people becoming `enthused' about some idea - and an idea is knowledge. No one undergoes the passion of sadness without first having a knowledge of a loss or a disaster."


 

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

 

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.       (1319)

At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion....      (1320)

As I was meditating on the sin of the Angels and their immediate punishment, I asked Jesus why the Angels had been punished as soon as they had sinned. I heard a voice: Because of their profound knowledge of God. No person on earth, even though a great saint, has such knowledge of God as an Angel has. Nevertheless, to me who am so miserable, You have shown Your mercy, O God, and this, time and time again. You carry me in the bosom of Your mercy and forgive me every time that I ask Your forgiveness with a contrite heart.       (1332

MARCH 28 - ENCOUNTER THE LIVING GOD

Our Lady speaks of encountering the Lord today:

"Dear Children, today I wish to call you to prayer so that you may encounter the living God. He offers and give himself to you, asking only that you freely answer his call.

Therefore, little children, set aside a special time each day when you pray in peace and humility, meeting with God the Creator. I am with you and intercede to God for you. Be alert that your prayer truly be a joyful encounter with God. (Monthly Message November 25, 1988)

In this passage, Paul gives us an example of intercessory prayer:

For this reason, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding… (Col 1: 9)

Reflection:

As Our Lady stresses today, prayer is the most essential component of our lives, for it is a direct encounter with the living God.

Elsewhere, the Madonna asks that we pray for a number of her intentions (peace, conversion of sinners, the sick, etc.), as well as our own. As this array of prayer intentions can sometimes be difficult to remember or fit into one day, the following suggestions may help.

First, you many wish to write down on an index card the intentions you wish to pray for every day. Place the card in your wallet or purse (or in a prayerbook you use each day). Consult it as you pray the rosary, offering one decade for each intention; this will allow you to pray for 5 to 15 intentions each day.

Second, just as a priest normally has an intention for each Mass he offers, so you too can offer the Masses you attend for one or more special intentions. The same can be done for other prayer forms which the church offers us, such as the Stations of the Cross, litanies, and of course novenas.

Another form is conversational prayer with God. Here we simply speak to the Lord about our prayer intention, describing it and lifting it up, so to speak, for him to see and bless. But the most beautiful form of prayer may be that of sheer praise and gratitude, with the Lord himself searching our hearts for our special needs and intentions.

Application:

If advisable, write down your prayer intentions today. Remember that they can be prayed for in a variety of ways. It is our faithfulness that is most important.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 27 - Honor the wounds of my Son

 

Message of March 25, 2006
"Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of
holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way
which my Son has chosen. Through each of your tribulations and
sufferings God will find the way of joy for you. Therefore, little
children, pray. We are close to you with our love. Thank you for
having responded to my call."

The air that we breathe, the bread that we eat, the heart which throbs in our bosoms, are not more necessary for man that he may live as a human being, than is prayer for the Christian that he may live as a Christian.  - St. John Eudes

 


 

"My soul, if you wish to be intimate with Mary, let yourself be carried between her arms and nourished with her blood . . . .   Let this ineffable, chaste thought accompany you to the Banquet of God and you will find in the Blood of the Son the nourishment of the Mother" (St. Albert the Great).


 

 

Mother Teresa -

A day alone with Jesus is apt to spur us on in the vigorous pursuit of holiness through personal love for Jesus.
Jesus desires our perfection with unspeakable ardor. " For this is the will of God, your sanctification. " We are but instruments that God deigns to use; these instruments bring forth fruit in the measure that they are united to God......


 

 

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The God of Christians is the God of metamorphosis; you throw your sufferings into His bosom and you draw out peace; you throw in despair and you see hope coming to the surface (FM, 166).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Why do we put so much credence on what `they' say?

"Many live under the illusion that their rejection of religious faith is a proof that they are immune from credulity. The truth is that they too accept authority, but it is the vague, vaporous, anonymous authority of `they.' `They' are wearing green, and the like. Who are `they'? The person of faith at least knows the One Whose guidance he accepts."

 

 

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

 

When I make the Way of the Cross, I am deeply moved at the twelfth station. Here I reflect on the omnipotence of God's mercy which passed through the Heart of Jesus. In this open wound of the Heart of Jesus I enclose all poor humans... and those individuals whom I love, as often as I make the Way of the Cross. From that Fount of Mercy issued the two rays; that is, the Blood and the Water. With the immensity of their grace they flood the whole world....       (1309)

O my Jesus, now everything is clear to me, and I understand all that has just happened. I somehow felt and asked myself what sort of a poor man is this who radiates such modesty. From that moment on, there was stirred up in my heart an even purer love toward the poor and the needy. Oh, how happy I am that my superiors have given me such a task! I understand that mercy is manifold; one can do good always and everywhere and at all times. An ardent love of God sees all around itself constant opportunities to share itself through deed, word and prayer. Now I understand the words which You spoke to me, O Lord, some time ago.       (1313)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

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

 

 

Mar 27 - HONOR THE WOUNDS OF MY SON

Today the Gospa gives a Lenten message on the passion of Christ:

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to honor the wounds of my Son, which he received from the sins of this parish. Unite yourselves with my prayers for the parish so that his sufferings may be bearable." (Weekly Message March 22, 1984).

In the prophet Isaiah we find the image of the suffering servant:

Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. ---Isaiah 53:4-6

Reflection:

Both the Blessed Virgin and Isaiah speak of the Savior who suffered for our sins: "By his wounds are we healed," the prophet writes. No one in Isaiah's day would have dreamed that God would choose to save the world through a suffering servant, rather than a messianic king. The idea was contrary to human pride and logic. True, the Israelites offered animals as sacrifices for their sins. But a human being? The Messiah himself?

He was the Lamb of God, the sinless servant who offered himself in sacrifice for the sins of mankind; the Anointed One who suffered in place of the guilty.

How can we fathom such love? Today the Virgin tells us it is through prayer: "Honor the wounds of my Son. …Unite yourselves with my prayers." The Holy Spirit will give us insight into these deep currents of love which can be understood in no other way.

Application:

From The Imitation of Christ: "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."

Today, with a crucifix in your hands, offer the Lord's Prayer in honor of each of the Savior's wounds, concluding with your own prayer of dedication.

Fr. Melvin Doucette Messages
 
 
Dear friends,
 
I was called to go to the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 1:05 p.m. as the Blessed Virgin Mary was waiting for me. I went up and knelt in the front of the altar and there She was with the Child Jesus in Her arms.
 
She was dressed as usual with a long white dress with a blue veil on Her head. Jesus was dressed as He is seen in
the picture painted by Amanda Richard.
 
Our Lady said, "Melvin, My son, I love you and bless you. I am here again in this beautiful little shrine built in My honour. Do not be afraid or worried, Melvin. Be at peace and may Jesus, My Son, fill you with His love and joy. 
 
I lay My hand on your head and pray for healing, both spiritually and physically. Little Jesus also places His two hands on your head for a special blessing. Please hold the Child Jesus in your arms, as He loves you very much. (I held Him in my arms for a few minutes and gave Him back to His Mother.)
 
My great desire as you know is for you to build as soon as possible My great shrine here. I want the shrine on Palmer Road just in the back of the prayer room. This is the spot I have chosen in Prince Edward Island, an island blessed by My Son Jesus and also blessed by Me. 
 
This is the only place in North America where abortions are illegal. I am the Mother of Life and I want all unborn children to be born in this world. It is the right of these children in the womb of their mothers to live on earth and come to know Jesus, My Son, as their Saviour and to follow Him so that one day they will be in heaven with Us. 
 
My shrine will be a light to the world to defend the unborn and to teach the people about the sacredness of life from conception to natural death. They will call on all those who believe in Jesus to be pro-life.
 
I am working to bring about the construction of this important shrine. I call on the Church to give her permission for the building of this shrine on Palmer Road as soon as possible. I am your Mother who is asking you, the leaders of the Church, for your cooperation. 
 
I have also asked for an inn to be constructed near the shrine for those who will come to pray and to work at the shrine.
 
It is sad that very few women are entering the sisterhood today. Many of the congregations are dying for lack of candidates. I strongly advocate the foundation of the Contemplative Sisters of Jesus at My shrine and I assure you that many will come to join this congregation.
 
My Son Jesus also wants, as soon as possible, the establishment of the Contemplative Brothers of Jesus and this too should be founded at My shrine. We need a new revival of the faith in the world and these are great means to bring this about. I pray for these societies constantly.
 
Before I leave you, Melvin, My son, I must call again for the
conversion of all My sons and daughters that they may leave sin behind and come to follow Jesus, My Son. Return now before it is too late. 
 
Darkness is spreading throughout the world because of sin, and if this continues you will have much to suffer. Repent and enter the Church founded by Jesus and if you are faithful, Jesus and I will welcome you in heaven one day.
 
I bless you and may all of you be filled with Easter joy."
 
Father Melvin

Message on Good Friday to Louise



MESSAGE ON GOOD FRIDAY FROM JESUS via L.



Message via L., V+J

March 21, 2008- - -12:30 P.M.



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



Then Jesus spoke, " 'As you do unto others so you do unto Me!' You gave to Me an Ignominious Death.



Today you kill using many means: poison, chemicals, guns, knives, germs, your hands- -for you live NOT love but hate,  pride, greed. Yes, you live for self and self-pleasure.



All that you do will return to you: 'for as you sow so shall you reap.' The earth and all of nature is responding to punish all sinners yet, the good will suffer with the evil.



People everywhere will receive their just reward- -Heaven or Hell! Respond to your Master's call! 'Heaven and earth WILL PASS AWAY but My word WILL NEVER pass away.' This day I call to you. Answer Me!!!



Amen, I tell you, the signs are all around you! How much more time will Our Father allow? He alone knows the day and the hour!



Amen, All IS TRUE! Convert! Wake-up! Time IS very short! The hour IS near! Amen!



I came in love! I lived love! (Through your sin) YOU KILLED ME!"
 
 
Excerpts from personal messages to Carol Ameche





I am sending out a few lines from some personal msgs. because everyone I've talked to lately is suffering some sort of problems that are major or very painful or both in their lives.



We need to pray for and encourage each other and try to understand that 'Father still knows best'' and try to understand that He is doing what is best right now

for us.
 
Thought these words were interesting and very worth sharing: my own knee replacement keeps being postponed, by the way, because of an infection I cannot take into surgery! 


And the knee still lets me know I need help! Thank you so much for all the prayers.



I want to share the emphasis on 'warrior, trust and getting more rest'. That is so hard to give priority in our busy schedules that we think are so important. Blessings and rest for all of us, right? Carol


3-18-08 from the Father:

"Once again, I am your God and Father, come to still your anxious heart. I salute your obedience and patience and gracious acceptance of this incredible number of delays (other waiting also, as you all know) you have lived through.

This is an important part of being a warrior."




3-23-08 from the Father: "My dearest one, I say again, rejoice! You must not lose hope or trust in Our words. I am your Creator and Lord, and I say to you, it has been a story of your life these days: tears and joy and prayerfulness and

near despair!
 
What am I going to say when these events you await are given? I will say.... rejoice! You are fulfilling the suffering wait I have prepared for your cleansing and final preparation. 
 
A warrior must be willing to follow My lead, as you are doing. The entire world that prays is united in suffering

through these days, and now awaits the next step in My Will. It is always more difficult than you could ever imagine to actually accept and live My Will at this level of training. Nothing that has occurred is in any way contrary to all

We have told you, and you must simply wait!"





3-25-08 from the Father: "My little one, be filled with the peace of My Jesus now. Sit here (adoration) and then return to your home for rest and recovery from this pain and illness.
 
You have accepted My Will gladly, yet living it is

often more than you can bear emotionally. To push yourself beyond endurance is more strengthening and helpful to you as a sign of your trust and ability to be the warrior you need to be. I am your God, your Father and Comforter. Rest now

and be filled with trust in My promises you await."

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 27 - Honor the wounds of my Son

 

Message of March 25, 2006
"Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of
holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way  which my Son has chosen.

Through each of your tribulations and  sufferings God will find the way of joy for you. Therefore, little  children, pray. We are close to you with our love. Thank you for  having responded to my call."

The air that we breathe, the bread that we eat, the heart which throbs in our bosoms, are not more necessary for man that he may live as a human being, than is prayer for the Christian that he may live as a Christian.  - St. John Eudes

 

"My soul, if you wish to be intimate with Mary, let yourself be carried between her arms and nourished with her blood . . . .   Let this ineffable, chaste thought accompany you to the Banquet of God and you will find in the Blood of the Son the nourishment of the Mother" (St. Albert the Great).

 

Pope John Paul II -

Bishop Nicholas D'Antonio opened the 1991 National Medjugorje Conference on Medjugorje at the University of Notre Dame by declaring. "We have more conversions from Medjugorje than any place in the world! … I don't recall in history anything comparable to the Medjugorje events!" Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 24

Mother Teresa -

A day alone with Jesus is apt to spur us on in the vigorous pursuit of holiness through personal love for Jesus.
Jesus desires our perfection with unspeakable ardor. " For this is the will of God, your sanctification. " We are but instruments that God deigns to use; these instruments bring forth fruit in the measure that they are united to God......

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The God of Christians is the God of metamorphosis; you throw your sufferings into His bosom and you draw out peace; you throw in despair and you see hope coming to the surface (FM, 166).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Why do we put so much credence on what `they' say?

"Many live under the illusion that their rejection of religious faith is a proof that they are immune from credulity. The truth is that they too accept authority, but it is the vague, vaporous, anonymous authority of `they.'

`They' are wearing green, and the like. Who are `they'? The person of faith at least knows the One Whose guidance he accepts."

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

 

When I make the Way of the Cross, I am deeply moved at the twelfth station. Here I reflect on the omnipotence of God's mercy which passed through the Heart of Jesus. In this open wound of the Heart of Jesus I enclose all poor humans... and those individuals whom I love, as often as I make the Way of the Cross.

From that Fount of Mercy issued the two rays; that is, the Blood and the Water. With the immensity of their grace they flood the whole world....       (1309)

O my Jesus, now everything is clear to me, and I understand all that has just happened. I somehow felt and asked myself what sort of a poor man is this who radiates such modesty. From that moment on, there was stirred up in my heart an even purer love toward the poor and the needy.

Oh, how happy I am that my superiors have given me such a task! I understand that mercy is manifold; one can do good always and everywhere and at all times. An ardent love of God sees all around itself constant opportunities to share itself through deed, word and prayer. Now I understand the words which You spoke to me, O Lord, some time ago.       (1313)

 

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

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

 

 

Mar 27 - HONOR THE WOUNDS OF MY SON

Today the Gospa gives a Lenten message on the passion of Christ:

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to honor the wounds of my Son, which he received from the sins of this parish. Unite yourselves with my prayers for the parish so that his sufferings may be bearable." (Weekly Message March 22, 1984).

In the prophet Isaiah we find the image of the suffering servant:

Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. ---Isaiah 53:4-6

Reflection:

Both the Blessed Virgin and Isaiah speak of the Savior who suffered for our sins: "By his wounds are we healed," the prophet writes. No one in Isaiah's day would have dreamed that God would choose to save the world through a suffering servant, rather than a messianic king.

The idea was contrary to human pride and logic. True, the Israelites offered animals as sacrifices for their sins. But a human being? The Messiah himself?

He was the Lamb of God, the sinless servant who offered himself in sacrifice for the sins of mankind; the Anointed One who suffered in place of the guilty.

How can we fathom such love? Today the Virgin tells us it is through prayer: "Honor the wounds of my Son. …Unite yourselves with my prayers." The Holy Spirit will give us insight into these deep currents of love which can be understood in no other way.

Application:

From The Imitation of Christ: "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."

Today, with a crucifix in your hands, offer the Lord's Prayer in honor of each of the Savior's wounds, concluding with your own prayer of dedication.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 26 - See How He Was Martyred

 

"The Hail Mary is completely impregnated both with a Trinitarian and a Eucharistic sense. The first words were dictated by the Father to the Angel when He sent him to announce the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word: `Hail [Mary] full of grace, the Lord is with thee.'

 

 You are full of grace because in you dwells the fountain of grace, and also because of your union with the most Blessed Trinity. Moved by the Holy Spirit, St. Elizabeth said: `Blessed art thou among women, and Blessed is the Fruit of they womb [Jesus].'" (Sr. Lucia of Fatima)  

 

"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. AMEN." (Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great)

 

 

 

Mother Teresa -

Let Jesus use you without consulting you, and you will be holy because you belong to Him.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -
. Life is a
Calvary; but we must climb it cheerfully. Crosses are the jewels of the Bridegroom and I am jealous of them. My sufferings are pleasing. I suffer only when I have nothing to suffer (CE, 22).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Faith is fathomless
"Faith in a human being is not like sawdust in a doll. You cannot rip it open, shake out the sawdust on a couch, analyze its tree origins, put it back and make a new creature."

 

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

 When I make the Way of the Cross, I am deeply moved at the twelfth station. Here I reflect on the omnipotence of God's mercy which passed through the Heart of Jesus.

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

Mar 26  -  SEE HOW HE WAS MARTYRED

Asked by the visionaries why she showed them heaven, Our Lady responded:
"I did so that you could see the happiness which awaits those who love God." During the same apparition, Jesus appears to the seers with injuries covering his body, wearing a crown of thorns.

The Virgin says: "Do not be afraid. It is my Son. See how he was martyred. But despite it all, he was joyful and endured all with patience. (Then Jesus himself says:) See how I was wounded and martyred!

But in spite of all, I have won the victory. My angels, you also be persevering in your faith and pray that you may overcome every obstacle (First Years November 2, 1981).
In his letter to the Romans, Paul speaks of Christ's blood as the price of our redemption and forgiveness:


For there is no distinction, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith…(Rom 3:22-25).

Reflection:


Paul speaks of the Passion and death of Christ as effecting two great miracles: redemption indicated the price paid to gain freedom for a slave (Lv25:47-54). Through his death, Jesus paid the price to release us from slavery to sin.

Forgiveness was granted in ancient Israel on the basis of the shedding of animals' blood in sacrifice (Lv17:11). Now we are forgiven on the basis of the shedding of Jesus' blood, for he died as the perfect and final sacrifice.


The mystery of redemption holds the secret of unimaginable love, which can be penetrated only through prayer. Thus Jesus says today: "Persevere in your faith---and pray…."

Application:
Today, holding a crucifix in your hands, reflect of the love of Christ as expressed in his redemptive Passion and death.

“I am the Resurrected Jesus”

Reading: John 20:19-23

Dear friends,

“Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord.’” John
20:18

We will have Eucharistic Adoration at our church today at
5:00 p.m. for one hour. I will celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 this evening so our visitor, David Little, can attend.


I am getting ready to go to the Trappist Monastery in
Rogersville, New Brunswick. I will give a retreat in French at the monastery itself starting Friday evening and ending Sunday at noon.


Today is the traditional day to celebrate the Annunciation but as it is during the Octave of Easter, the celebration of this great feast is transferred to March 31 this year.

I was in prayer early this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and God, and He said, “Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you.

 

 I love all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I fill your hearts with joy during this Easter season as heaven and earth celebrate My Resurrection.

 

The Church has extended the celebration of the Feast of Easter for eight days and this period is called the Octave of Easter. After reliving My Passion and death on the cross, you need to rejoice with Me now that I am raised from the dead.

The Resurrection is a great event in the life of every Christian. Your faith is founded on the Resurrection, which I predicted three times before it happened.

 

The Apostles could not grasp it, as the Resurrection did not mean anything to them. They had never seen a person come back from the dead.

 

After I came back from the dead, I appeared to the Apostles for forty days in order to revive their faith and to teach them all they needed to know.

All you who believe in Me, I have given you all a special gift at Easter. I filled you with My joy. This joy is expressed in the word ‘alleluia.’ The more you say this word, the greater joy you will have in your heart. My Resurrection brought Me very close to each one of you.

 

 I no longer live in one place in Israel but now I am present everywhere in every city or village in the world where there are people who believe in Me. I also live in your heart if you follow Me and cooperate with My grace.

 

I wish to remain forever in your heart so that we have a close and personal bond of love. Spend time in prayer with Me. I am the Resurrected Jesus who is your great friend. I love you.”

Father Melvin

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 24, 2008

 

I am your Father who loves you

 

Reading: Matthew 28:16-20

 

Dear friends,

 

Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

 

 Then go quickly and tell the disciples, He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Matthew 28:5-7

 

I spent Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday at St. Philip and St. James Church in Egmont Bay, P.E.I., except for Easter Vigil as I was at Mount Carmel Church a short distance from Egmont Bay. I stayed with a very nice family all the time I was there.


Today I will go to the Manor in Alberton to celebrate Holy Mass with the people who reside in this nursing home. When I get there I automatically look around to see my mother but of course she is gone.


Tomorrow I will have a visitor from
New Brunswick. His name is David Little who is the President of the St. Thomas More Society of Canada, a non-profit organization to help save the unborn.

 

 He has been fighting tax-funded abortions for many years. He will give a talk at St. Simon & St. Jude Church in Tignish on Monday, March 31, after the 7:00 p.m. Holy Mass. Everyone is welcome.


I wish you all a joyful Octave of Easter.

 

I was with God the Father this morning during my time of contemplative prayer. The Father said, Melvin, My son, I love you and bless you, together with all My sons and daughters throughout the world.

 

You are now in the time of Easter, a time of great joy at the resurrection of My dear Son, Jesus. You relived His Passion and death on the cross on Friday as He gave up His life for your salvation.

 

Melvin, He called you to join Him on the cross for one hour on the day of His supreme sacrifice, as He wanted to share with you His pain. Every year Jesus helps you to renew what you suffered of His Passion during your thirty-day retreat in Jerusalem.

 

Now Jesus is risen from the dead with His glorified body. He will not suffer any more. He is with Me in heaven where He sits at My right hand. He is your Lord and Saviour as He works for the salvation of all the people of the world.

 

All those who believe in Him and follow His teaching will be saved; however, those who reject Him and refuse to walk with Him will be condemned. Come, My dear sons and daughters, and believe in Jesus, My Son, and follow the Church He established on earth and you will one day be with Us in heaven.

 

You, who believe in Him, have been empowered to spread His message to all those you meet. Be a good example to all and cooperate with all the graces I give you.

 

I want all the men and women of the earth to hear about their Saviour so they may make the decision for or against Him. I provide you with all the good things you need for I am your Father who loves you.

 

Father Melvin

Jesus' Resurrection



On Saturday I received the sacrament of Penance and went to the
8:00 A.M.
Mass at my parish, Our Lady of Sorrows.

 

Offering up The Sacraments for my
brother who is gravely ill, I also prayed for all with special needs and
intentions.


After receiving the Sacred Host, the body and blood of Christ, I knelt in
silent commune with Him.

 

Asking Him to please cover me with His most precious
blood and after giving thanks to Jesus I prayed; If it be Your will, speak Lord
for Your servant listens.


Again I saw the huge blue Cross but this time Jesus was nailed to it and
had expired!

 

I saw His spirit leave His body and immediately rise to heaven and
into the arms of His Father. We too must suffer our cross and be willing to lay
down our life for Jesus.



Discernment: Jesus reminds us that through His Crucifixion and death, we too
can rise after death and join the Holy Family in heaven.

 

Jesus reminds however,
His Father warns us that the time of grace is nearly over and we need to repent
for our sins and frequent the sacraments in order to remain in His saving grace!

SHARE IN HIS PASSION


EVEN THOUGH, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WHEN GOD YOU OFFEND,
HE STILL WILL CONTINUE TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
EVEN THOUGH THRU YOUR ACTIONS HIS HEART MAY BE BROKEN,
NOT ONE NEGATIVE WORD AGAINST YOU WILL BE SPOKEN.


IN SPITE OF YOUR FAILURES, GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH;
THERE IS NO LOVE GREATER, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THAN SUCH.
THOUGH YOU MAY CONSIDER YOURSELF AS A FAILURE,
MY SON SHED HIS BLOOD  FOR YOU TO BE ALSO YOUR SAVIOR.


IF GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH, THEN YOU ASK WHY THE PAIN;
YOU MUST SHARE IN HIS PASSION SO GOD’S KINGDOM YOU’LL GAIN.
IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU’RE HELPLESS, AND PERHAPS THAT IS TRUE,
IT’S BECAUSE YOU IGNORE MY SON’S HAND THAT’S EXTENDED TO YOU


IF YOUR CROSSES WERE LIGHTER, WOULD YOU MORE PROGRESS MAKE,
OR WOULD YOU JUST TRAVEL FASTER FORGETTING WHAT IS AT STAKE?
HOW LONG DO YOU EXPECT MY SON FOR YOU TO WAIT
BEFORE YOU AGREE WITH HIM TO PARTICIPATE?


THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS MY SON LEFT IN THE SAND
WILL COMPLETE THE JOURNEY TO THE NEW PROMISED LAND.
THOUGH THE JOURNEY IS LONG AND MAY SEEM NEVER ENDING,
THE BANQUET GOD’S PREPARING YOU WILL SOON BE ATTENDING.
