2 NOV.. AFRICAN DIASPORA CHRISTIANS’ WARNING PROPHECY MEDITATIONS  FOR BLACK CATHOLICS, COPTICS, AND ORTHODOX LITURGICAL CHURCHES IN  THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST

<p><br>

African Black Saints, Black Catholics, Coptic, and Orthodox Christians’ Spirituality in Africa, the Caribbean, Oceania, South Pacific Rim, Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Palau, Tuvulu, Nauru, Vanuatu, Australia, New Zealand and Islands of the Solomons, Marianas, Society, Marshall, and all the New Hebrides.   

<p><br>

WARNING PROPHECY MEDITATIONS FOR AFRICAN HERITAGE, BLACK ORIENTAL BRANCHES  CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS--LATIN, COPTIC, AND ORTHODOX RITES IN THE AFRICAN HISTORIC AND GEOLOGIC DIASPORA.

<p><br>

For the coming plagues and illnesses:

<p><br>

FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST!  DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )

<P><BR>

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

<P><BR>

Dear friends and family,
 <P><BR>

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

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

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

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

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

With all my love,
  <P><BR>

Jo Ann Riggio, RN
  <P><BR>

PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.

<P><BR>September 18, 2009 <P><BR>

Public<P><BR>

Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."
<P><BR>

"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."
<P><BR>

"You will make this known." <P><BR>

* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition. <P><BR>

METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN

<p><br>

FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

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

<p><br>

A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)

<p><br>

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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father
<p><br>For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of all, I consecrate myself to You, O' Eternal Father, as one of Your faithful remnant. Behold, I come to do Your Will. With the help of Your Grace, I will keep Your Commandments. I will love and reverence You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will love my neighbor as You love me.
<p><br>I make this Consecration through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Your beloved Son, Jesus.
<p><br>O' Eternal Father, send forth Your Holy Spirit to restore my/our broken image and likeness of You. Send forth also Your entire Heavenly Court, all the celestial choirs of Your angels and all Your Saints, to aid me/us in my/our struggle against all the forces of evil in this present darkness. Amen. (Adapted from the Father of All Mankind Apostolate). <p><br>

The Lord's Prayer<p><br>

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

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

Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)
<p><br>

Who art in Heaven, (and Who art in me) <p><br>

Hallowed be Thy Name. (Holy be Thy Name, praised be Thy Name, thanks be to Thy Most Holy Name) <p><br>

Thy Kingdom come. (now - on earth and in me)
<p><br>

Thy Will be done, (now - on earth and in me)
<p><br>

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen. (So I hope. So be it). <p><br>

<p><br>

<p><br>

<B>Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa</B>
<P><BR>

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

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

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

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

<P><BR>

<P><BR>

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

November 1, 2009
<P><BR>

Jesus
<P><BR>

My dearest apostle, how pleased I am with your efforts. Shall I tell you all that pleases Me? I am pleased that you accept My words and welcome them into your heart. I am pleased because as you welcome My words into your heart, you welcome My graces into your life. <P><BR>

Many come and go in My service. But you do not do this. You remain in My service. It will take eternity for Me to show you My gratitude. When I say service, you no doubt think practically. You think of work, of heaven’s work, which includes the tasks that you complete for Me and for others in My name. <P><BR>

This is good. I so badly need those who are willing to work for Me. But when I say service, I want you to also think of love. You see, we need bridges built that will transport God’s children safely into My heart. <P><BR>

But the invitation to cross the bridge from isolation to the love of God will be extended through your love, through My presence in your heart. My love will flow out from you to others and they will find out that the wounds they suffer are vulnerable to love. Wounds melt away when they are exposed to love. <P><BR>

Love, rooted in Me, is always selfless. It is quiet rather than boisterous. It waits patiently, willing to accept suffering for the greater good of the soul in front of it. <P><BR>

The greater good will always be reconciliation with Me but this reconciliation between the Creator and the created is deeply personal and takes place in the privacy of the soul. Dearest children of God, you have been chosen to accept My love and to use that love to draw others back to Me. <P><BR>

I am watching closely as you struggle for greater holiness. I am watching closely as you advance. I am with you in your own suffering and I allow loneliness for every serving apostle because it is only through this loneliness that you understand how badly you need Me. <P><BR>

 Your loneliness then becomes a heavenly port in a storm of activity through which you draw graces down into the world. You see that you suffer. When you return to Me forever, you will see that your suffering, accepted in My name, advanced not only My intentions, but yours. Be at peace, little apostle. I am involved in all that occurs in your life. I am with you. I will not leave you. <P><BR>

 

 

Message to Mirjana - November 2, 2009<P><BR>

 Our Lady appeared to the Medjugorje visionary Mirjana Soldo this morning and gave the following message: <P><BR>

"Dear children! Also today I am among you to point you to the way that will help you to come to know God's love, the love of God Who permitted you to call Him Father and to perceive Him as Father. I ask of you to sincerely look into your hearts and to see how much you love Him. <P><BR>

 Is He the last to be loved? Surrounded by material goods, how many times have you betrayed, denied and forgotten Him? My children, do not deceive yourselves with worldly goods. <P><BR>

Think of your soul because it is more important than the body, cleanse it. Invoke the Father, He is waiting for you. Come back to Him. I am with you because He, in His mercy, sends me. Thank you." <P><BR>

<P><BR>

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 03 - ST. MARTIN DE PORRES             <P><BR>

 

 "Oh, what a heaven the Saints found on earth in their ardent devotion to the
Most Blessed Sacrament!  They indeed experienced that to none is Jesus so
lavish of His sensible graces as to those who have a fervent devotion to the
Blessed Sacrament. 
<P><BR>

What sighs of love, what sweet tears and raptures, what floods
of delight and consolation overwhelmed their souls when they celebrated or
approached the Sacred Mysteries! . . . Oh, let us, too, foster a tender devotion
to the Holy Eucharist; let us, too, seek this "Heaven on earth," in which the
Saints found such supreme delight"
(The Blessed Sacrament: God With Us).

<P><BR>

<P><BR>

Mother Teresa  -

In silence we will find new energy and true unity. The energy of God will be ours to do all things well, and so will the unity of our thoughts with His thoughts, the unity of our prayers with His prayers, the unity of our actions with His actions, of our life with His life.
All our words will be useless unless they come from within.

<P><BR>

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

One day a spiritual son asked him: Father, how can I increase my love? <P><BR>

Reply: by doing your duty with exactitude and upright intentions and observing the law of the Lord. If you do this with constancy and perseverance, your love will grow. 

<P><BR>

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

God must be the source of the humble and show it through their resources

"Before undertaking a task great or small, before making decisions, before beginning a journey, the humble will acknowledge their dependence on God and will invoke His guidance and His blessing on all their enterprises. <P><BR>

 Even though they be placed above others by vocation, or by the will of the people, they will never cease to recognize that God has made of one blood all the nations that dwell on the earth. If they are very rich they will not be `defenders of the rights of the poor' without unloading their riches in their aid." <P><BR>

<P><BR>

 

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

Here are a few words from a conversation I had with the Mother Directress [Mary Joseph] toward the end of my novitiate: "Sister, let simplicity and humility be the characteristic traits of your soul. Go through life like a little child, always trusting, always full of simplicity and humility, content with everything, happy in every circumstance. <P><BR>

There, where others fear, you will pass calmly along, thanks to this simplicity and humility. Remember this, Sister, for your whole life: as waters flow from the mountains down into the valleys, so, too, do God's graces flow only into humble souls."       (55) <P><BR>

Humiliation is my daily food. I understand that the bride must herself share in everything that is the groom's; and so His cloak of mockery must cover me, too. At those times when I suffer much, I try to remain silent, as I do not trust my tongue which, at such moments, is inclined to talk for itself, while its duty is to help me praise God for all the blessings and gifts which He has given me. <P><BR>

When I receive Jesus in Holy Communion, I ask Him fervently to deign to heal my tongue so that I would offend neither God nor neighbor by it. I want my tongue to praise God without cease. Great are the faults committed by the tongue. The soul will not attain sanctity if it does not keep watch over its tongue.       (92)<P><BR>

Quote of the Day However great the work that God may achieve by an individual, he must not indulge in self-satisfaction. He ought rather to be all the more humbled, seeing himself merely as a tool which God has made use of. -St. Vincent de Paul<P><BR>

Today's Tidbit St. Pirminius, mentioned in today's historical fact is important because one of his writings, book entitled "Scarapsus," is the earliest known writing to contain the Apostles' Creed as it is worded in its present form.

<P><BR>

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY <P><BR>

 

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

 

 - Nov 3  - ST. MARTIN DE PORRES<P><BR>

The life of St. Martin de Porres was characterized by two great virtues : love of neighbor and service to the poor. In the following two messages, Our Lady speaks of both : <P><BR>

Dear children, during these days people from every nation will be coming into the parish. And so I now call you to love. First of all, love the members of your own family and in this way you will be capable of accepting and loving all who come here (Weekly Message June 6, 1985). <P><BR>

Dear children, tonight I call you to pray for all the poor and hungry people throughout the world. I especially thank you because you have helped me to fulfill my plans (Visionary Prayer Group September 12, 1988). <P><BR>

And from the Beatitudes : <P><BR>

Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. <P><BR>

Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. <P><BR>

Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. <P><BR>

---Luke 6 :20-21<P><BR>

Reflection: <P><BR>

St. Martin, patron of the poor, was born in Peru in 1579, the son of a Spanish knight and a Negro mother. During his youth he was apprenticed to a barber-surgeon and became very knowledgeable of medicines and herbs, which he later used in his car for the poor. <P><BR>

He became a lay brother of the Dominican Order and is most remembered for his care of the slaves who were brought to Peru from Africa. He once said, " I wish to be the slave of the slaves who were brought to Peru from Africa. <P><BR>

He once said, " I wish to be the slaves of God. " Upon his death in 1639, he was carried to his grave by bishops and noblemen. He is also, appropriately, the patron of social justice. <P><BR>

At his canonization in 1962, Pope John XXIII said to him : <P><BR>

Saint Martin, always obedient and inspired by his divine Teacher, dealt with his brothers with that profound love which comes from our faith and humility of service. He loved men because he honestly looked upon them as God's children and as his own brothers and sisters. <P><BR>

Application : <P><BR>

Today, let us put into practice Our Lady's message : "I call you to pray for all the poor and hungry people throughout the world. "<P><BR>

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 02 - ALL SOULS DAY         

<P><BR>

 

"The devotion to the Eucharist, together with the devotion to the Blessed Mother, is the devotion of Paradise, because it is the devotion which the Angels and Saints of Heaven also have" (Jesus, Our Eucharistic Love, Fr. Stephano Manelli, O. F. M.). <P><BR>

 

Mother Teresa -  

If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. This is only the first step towards prayer, but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God.

<P><BR>

Meditations by Padre Pio - My children, to remain like this, unable to do my duty, is useless, it is better that I die!

<P><BR>

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Blessed are the merciful! <P><BR>

"Humility as it relates to others is a golden mean between blind reverence on the one hand and an overbearing insolence on the other. Humble people are not rigid exacters of things to which they have no undoubted right; they are always ready to overlook faults of others knowing that they have so many themselves. <P><BR>

Neither are they greatly provoked at those slights which put vain persons out of patience, knowing that as we show mercy to others so shall we receive mercy from God." <P><BR>

<P><BR>

Spiritual Counsel Given Me
by Father Andrasz, S.J. <P><BR>

First: You must not turn away from these interior inspirations, but always tell everything to your confessor. If you recognize that these interior inspirations refer to your own self; that is to say, they are for the good of your soul or for the good of other souls, I urge you to follow them; and you must not neglect them, but always do so in consultation with your confessor. <P><BR>

Second: If these inspirations are not in accord with the faith or the spirit of the Church, they must be rejected immediately as coming from the evil spirit. <P><BR>

Third: If these inspirations do not refer to souls, in general, nor specifically to their good, you should not take them too seriously, and it would be better to even ignore them. <P><BR>

But you should not make this decision by yourself, either one way or the other, as you can easily be led astray despite these great favors from God. Humility, humility, and ever humility, as we can do nothing of ourselves; all is purely and simply God's grace. <P><BR>

You say to me that God demands great trust from souls; well then, you be the first to show this trust. And one more word-accept all this with serenity.       (55) <P><BR>

<P><BR>

<P><BR>

Nov 2 Feast of the Day Today is the feast of All Souls, this is the day set aside out of the year for us to pray for the souls of all who have died, especially the souls in purgatory waiting for the joys of heaven. <P><BR>

This feast has biblical origins, for example, in the Second Book of Maccabees, "Judas made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin, and it has historical origins because from the beginning of the Church, the Faithful were encouraged to pray for all who had died. <P><BR>

A day set aside for prayer for all who had died began to be observed in the Middle ages. In the eleventh century, St. Odilo, Abbot of Cluny, decreed that the monks should set aside November 2 as a special day to pray for the dead in the Divine Office, and through special prayers. <P><BR>

The theological ideas for this feast day are based on the fact that very few of us achieve perfection in our lives on earth, so we must remove the scars of our sinfulness and imperfection before we come face-to-face with God. This day is set aside for the Church on earth to pray for those who have died and are still preparing to meet God face-to-face. <P><BR>

A more recent addition to this celebration happened in 1915 when Pope Benedict XV stated in an apostolic constitution that priests could celebrate three Masses on this day. The intention for the first Mass is for a particular intention of the priest, the intention of the second is for all the Faithful Departed, and the intention of the third is for the intentions of the Pope. <P><BR>

Let us help commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by their father's sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them -St. John Chrysostom<P><BR>

<P><BR>

Intention of the Day Please pray for all the faithful departed

<P><BR>

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY<P><BR>

<P><BR>

Nov 2 - ALL SOULS' DAY<P><BR>

In this message from 1986, Our Lady speaks of purgatory and our role in helping those who have gone before us : <P><BR>

Dear children, today I invite you to pray everyday for the souls in purgatory. Every soul need prayer and grace in order to reach God and his love. By this way, dear children, you will gain new intercessors, who will help you , than longing for heaven. For that, dear children, pray without respite, so that you may be able to help yourself and others, to whom your prayers will bring joy (Weekly Message Nov 6, 1986). <P><BR>

The Book of Revelation also speaks of life after death<P><BR>

Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. <P><BR>

And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done (Rv 20 :11-13). <P><BR>

Reflection: <P><BR>

Especially on All Souls' Day, the church calls us to remember and pray for the souls in purgatory, including our loved ones who have gone before us. <P><BR>

The church's doctrine of purgatory is too often misunderstood. It is not a place where the residue of sin is remitted through suffering; it is rather a process in which we are perfected until that point when we can unite in harmony with the fullness of love and life, which is God. Just as oil and water cannot mix, so too we must resemble the Spirit of God, free from sin, before entering into his life a state called heaven. <P><BR>

 

This process is veiled in mystery, but it is without doubt a benevolent concept, a gift from God who allows us, the living, to help those who have already died : <P><BR>

" For every soul, " Our Lady says, " prayer and grace are necessary to reach God and the love of God. "<P><BR>

Further, those whom we have helped to obtain paradise will in turn help us : " You obtain new intercessors, " Mary says, " who will help you in this life to realize that earthly things are not important, that it is necessary to strive only for heaven. <P><BR>

"Application: <P><BR>

All Souls' Day is an appropriate time to arrange for masses to be offered for the dead, which the Blessed<P><BR>

Mother recommends. Your parish office can inform you of the procedure and suggested offering. Mary also asks us to pray for the forgotten dead and those in most need of God's mercy, to whom, Our Lady says, "your prayers will bring great joy. " <P><BR>

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 01 - ALL SOULS DAY <P><BR>

 

Eve of All Saints Day <P><BR>

"The saints experienced in this world such pleasure in remaining in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, that days and nights appeared to them as moments" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).

<P><BR>

 "Jesus is the only source of true peace. There cannot be hope of real peace in the world apart from Christ . . .   How does Christ bring about this peace? 
He earned it by His Sacrifice.  He gave His life to bring reconciliation between God and man . . . <P><BR>

 This sacrifice which draws the human family to unity is made present in the Eucharist.  Thus, each Eucharistic celebration is the
source of a new gift of peace . . . The gift that Christ made of Himself is more powerful than all the force of division that oppress the world" (Pope John Paul II, Eucharistic Congress, March 11, l988)

<P><BR>

"How I hate this folly of not believing in the Eucharist, etc.!  If the gospel be true, if Jesus Christ be God, what difficulty is there?" (Pascal).

<P><BR>

<P><BR>

Mother Teresa -  

Prayer, to be fruitful, must come from the heart. <P><BR>

<P><BR>

Meditations by Padre Pio - My children, to remain like this, unable to do my duty, is useless, it is better that I die!

<P><BR>

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen <P><BR>

No one is better than the next! <P><BR>

 

"The psychological reason for the modern fondness for news which deflates others or brings out the evil in their lives, is to solace uneasy consciences which are already laden with guilt. By finding others who apparently are more evil than we, we falsely believe that we are somehow better `than the rest of men' (Luke 18: 11)." <P><BR>

But you should not make this decision by yourself, either one way or the other, as you can easily be led astray despite these great favors from God. Humility, humility, and ever humility, as we can do nothing of ourselves; all is purely and simply God's grace. <P><BR>

You say to me that God demands great trust from souls; well then, you be the first to show this trust. And one more word-accept all this with serenity.       (55)

Nov 1 Feast of the Day Information taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia <P><BR>

The Solemnity celebrated on the first of November is instituted to honor all the saints, known and unknown, and, according to Urban IV, to supply any deficiencies in the faithful's celebration of saints' feasts during the year. In the early days the Christians were accustomed to solemnize the anniversary of a martyr's death for Christ at the place of martyrdom. In the fourth century, neighboring dioceses began to interchange feasts, to transfer relics, to divide them, and to join in a common feast; as is shown by the invitation of St. Basil of Caesarea (397) to the bishops of the province of Pontus. <P><BR>

Frequently groups of martyrs suffered on the same day, which naturally led to a joint commemoration. In the persecution of Diocletian the number of martyrs became so great that a separate day could not be assigned to each. But the Church, feeling that every martyr should be venerated, appointed a common day for all. <P><BR>

The first trace of this we find in Antioch on the Sunday after Pentecost. We also find mention of a common day in a sermon of St. Ephrem the Syrian (373), and in the 74th homily of St. John Chrysostom (407). <P><BR>

At first only martyrs and St. John the Baptist were honoured by a special day. Other saints were added gradually, and increased in number when a regular process of canonization was established; still, as early as 411 there is in the Chaldean Calendar a "Commemoratio Confessorum" for the Friday after Easter. <P><BR>

In the West Boniface IV, May, 13 609, or 610, consecrated the Pantheon in Rome to the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs, ordering an anniversary. Gregory III (731-741) consecrated a chapel in the basilica of St. Peter to all the saints and fixed the anniversary for November 1. A basilica of the Apostles already existed in Rome, and its dedication was annually remembered on May 1. Gregory IV (827-844) extended the celebration on 1 November to the entire Church. The vigil seems to have been held as early as the feast itself. The octave was added by Sixtus IV (1471-84). <P><BR>

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY<P><BR>

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

   Nov 2 - ALL SOULS' DAY<P><BR>

In this message from 1986, Our Lady speaks of purgatory and our role in helping those who have gone before us : <P><BR>

Dear children, today I invite you to pray everyday for the souls in purgatory. Every soul need prayer and grace in order to reach God and his love. By this way, dear children, you will gain new intercessors, who will help you , than longing for heaven. For that, dear children, pray without respite, so that you may be able to help yourself and others, to whom your prayers will bring joy (Weekly Message Nov 6, 1986). <P><BR>

The Book of Revelation also speaks of life after death<P><BR>

Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. <P><BR>

And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done (Rv 20 :11-13). <P><BR>

Reflection: <P><BR>

Especially on All Souls' Day, the church calls us to remember and pray for the souls in purgatory, including our loved ones who have gone before us. <P><BR>

The church's doctrine of purgatory is too often misunderstood. It is not a place where the residue of sin is remitted through suffering; it is rather a process in which we are perfected until that point when we can unite in harmony with the fullness of love and life, which is God. Just as oil and water cannot mix, so too we must resemble the Spirit of God, free from sin, before entering into his life a state called heaven. <P><BR>

This process is veiled in mystery, but it is without doubt a benevolent concept, a gift from God who allows us, the living, to help those who have already died : <P><BR>

" For every soul, " Our Lady says, " prayer and grace are necessary to reach God and the love of God. "<P><BR>

Further, those whom we have helped to obtain paradise will in turn help us : " You obtain new intercessors, " Mary says, " who will help you in this life to realize that earthly things are not important, that it is necessary to strive only for heaven. <P><BR>

"Application: <P><BR>

All Souls' Day is an appropriate time to arrange for masses to be offered for the dead, which the Blessed<P><BR>

Mother recommends. Your parish office can inform you of the procedure and suggested offering. Mary also asks us to pray for the forgotten dead and those in most need of God's mercy, to whom, Our Lady says, "your prayers will bring great joy. " <P><BR>

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 31 - YOU WILL DISCOVER A NEW PATH TO JOY <P><BR>

<P><BR>

"Mary, the paramount adorer of the most High God, together with the angels and saints, sings his praises perpetually.  And to promote within the Church Militant a matching devotion [perpetual adoration] towards him present in the Blessed Sacrament is Mary's very special wish and intention" (Mary and The Eucharist, Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.). <P><BR>

 

Mother Teresa -  

I Thirst: "On the Cross Jesus said: `I thirst.' From the Blessed Sacrament Jesus continues to say to each of us: `I thirst.' He thirsts for our personal love, our intimacy, our union with Him in the Blessed Sacrament. His longing for us to be with Him in the Blessed Sacrament is infinitely greater than our longing to be with Him." <P><BR>

<P><BR>

2Meditations by Padre Pio - Patience is more perfect when it is less mixed up with worries and disturbances. If the good God wants to prolong the time of trial, do not complain or try to investigate the reason, but remember the following: That the children of Israel traveled for forty years in the desert before setting foot in the Promised Land.

<P><BR>

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Truth is like a precious metal <P><BR>

Truth is like the veins of metal in the earth; it is often very thin and runs not in a continuous layer. If we lose it once, we may have to dig for miles to find it again."

<P><BR>

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

 

God, You could have saved thousands of worlds with one word; a single sigh from Jesus would have satisfied Your justice. But You Yourself, Jesus, purely out of love for us, underwent such a terrible Passion. Your Father's justice would have been propitiated with a single sigh from You, and all Your self-abasement is solely the work of Your mercy and Your inconceivable love. On leaving the earth, O Lord, You wanted to stay with us, and so You left us Yourself in the Sacrament of the Altar, and You opened wide Your mercy to us. <P><BR>

 There is no misery that could exhaust You; You have called us all to this fountain of love, to this spring of God's compassion. Here is the tabernacle of Your mercy, here is the remedy for all our ills. To You, O living spring of mercy, all souls are drawn; some like deer, thirsting for Your love, others to wash the wound of their sins, and still others, exhausted by life, to draw strength. At the moment of Your death on the Cross, <P><BR>

You bestowed upon us eternal life; allowing Your most holy side to be opened, You opened an inexhaustible spring of mercy for us, giving us Your dearest possession, the Blood and Water from Your Heart. Such is the omnipotence of Your mercy. From it all grace flows to us.       (1747) <P><BR>The most solemn moment of my life is the moment when I receive Holy Communion. I long for each Holy Communion, and for every Holy Communion I give thanks to the Most Holy Trinity. <P><BR>

If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of Holy Communion, and the other is suffering.       (1804) <P><BR>

<P><BR>

 

  “We often say that we are nothing. But we would be very sorry if anyone should take us at our word. We pretend to retire and hide ourselves, so that the world may run after us and seek us out. True humility does not make a show of herself or use many humble words; for she desires not only to conceal all other virtues, but most of all to conceal herself.” -St. Francis de Sales

<P><BR>

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY<P><BR>

Oct 31 - YOU WILL DISCOVER A NEW PATH TO JOY<P><BR>

In this message the Blessed Virgin shows the way to happiness : <P><BR>

Dear children, today I wish to gather you under my mantle and lead you along the way to conversion. I beseech you, dear children, to surrender all of your past to the Lord, as well as all the evil that has accumulated in your hearts. <P><BR>

I want each one of you to be happy, but happiness is not possible in sin. Therefore, dear children, I ask you to pray, for in prayer you will discover a new path to joy. Joy will shine forth from your hearts and thus you will be joyful witnesses of what my Son and I wish to accomplish in each of you. I bless you! (Monthly Message February 25, 1987). <P><BR>

And in John's gospel, Christ wishes to give all of us his joy : <P><BR>

As my Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete (Jn 15 :9-11). <P><BR>

Reflection: <P><BR>

People have searched for happiness in many ways, often oblivious to the fact that it can only truly be found in the heart of God. One amusing story illustrates : <P><BR>

<P><BR>

Application: <P><BR>

We often seek God in times of sorrow, but not so often when we are happy. Today offer a joyful prayer of thanksgiving for the Lord's many gifts. <P><BR>

Message To Carolyn Kwiecinski October 24, 2009 <P><BR>

Blessed Virgin Mary given to Carolyn Kwiecinski - October 24, 2009<P><BR>


 
    Dear Children, how I am pleased to be with you, to gather with you this day, to offer praise to the Father in Heaven, to worship the Son who came, Word Made Flesh, and dwelt among you, and to be one with the Holy Spirit who inspires you to live a life worthy of the Blood of Christ.
 <P><BR>

   Dear ones, as your Mother, I grieve for the sorrow and the sickness and the sadness and the sin in this world. Many years I have spoken to you through the grace of God. I have come to you my little ones to lead you on a better road, the road that leads to Heaven. <P><BR>   My little ones, again this day as always, I beg you to embrace the love that Christ offers to you, the love that He gives to you, the love that you must share with one another. <P><BR> 
   My little ones, it is a time of darkness. Sin… sin is not the way to life. My little ones are lost and they cannot find their way to God. You, my little children, must embrace the Gospel message and live with the fullness of your being the love of God. You must be obedient, my children, to His law for if you keep His commands you will know joy. You must love one another with sacrificial love. You must teach one another through your humility, in your littleness. <P><BR> 
   My little ones, I do not call you to accomplish great things in this world, to go out and win many converts, to go and to baptize the world, but rather in each day in the place where God has put you, to witness to those who need to see the love of Christ in you. It is only in this way, my little ones, that you, my lights in this world, the light of God, might shine more brightly and fill the world with the illumination of the Holy Spirit. <P><BR>

   My little children, long I have come to you. Again and again I come as mother and will come so long as God permits me. And yet I say to you, many have heard my voice but few few, my little ones, have loved my Son as He must be loved. <P><BR>

Therefore, my little children, go before Him always in His Eucharistic Self and worship and adore Him. Offer to Him every praise and make reparation for the grave injustices committed against Him. <P><BR>   My little ones, in this way also, I do not ask for great deeds, only the simple gift of your contrite and love-filled hearts. Give yourselves completely to God, that He might do great things in you and that when you permit the Spirit to fill you, <P><BR>

 He might do great things through you, that this world might no longer know sadness, grief, sin, sorrow, and death, but might be resurrected into a new glory, the glory that exists through, with, and in our Father in heaven, only because of His love, only because of His justice, only because of His mercy. <P><BR>

   My little ones, I commend you to the care of the Holy Spirit who guides the Church, guides the people of God, and will guide each of you each day in your life, as you are converted to my Son. <P><BR> 
   May the peace of Christ be with you today, and always. <P><BR>

“NOTE:  There were nearly 100 persons present on Oct. 24, 2009 at the annual Heavenly Grace prayer meeting in Howell, MI, where Carolyn received this message.  The notice about the prayer meeting was spread in small ways and all interested persons are always welcome. <P><BR> 
   This is the first time we have ever been able to obtain a copy quickly of the message from Mary through Carolyn over the Internet because her husband, Nick, was able to record it live on a digital recorder.  In the coming weeks, he will be working to get most of the many previous messages converted to a digital format so they can also be available on-line.  You can go to and check back for updates and how to access the messages at:
www.heavenlygrace.org<P><BR> 
   Since this e-mail is going to some persons who are not familiar with Carolyn or the messages and inspirations God has given to the world through her, here is some background.  Most of her monthly prayer meetings were held at St. Mary Church in Pinckney, Michigan, until the monthly messages ended in November 2004. 
<P><BR>

 Starting on October 24, 2005, Carolyn began receiving an annual message from Mary at the Heavenly Grace prayer meeting which has been held in St. Joseph Parish, Howell, Michigan, on Oct. 24 each year, the wedding anniversary of Carolyn and Nick. <P><BR>   Three books are available containing Messages to Carolyn Kwiecinski.  Fr. Bill Ashbaugh, her longtime Spiritual Director, former pastor at St. Joseph Parish in Howell (currently pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle in Ann Arbor, MI), wrote in the first volume: "Many of the misguided ideologies that were present last century have taken deep root in our modern world and continue to threaten humanity....  God has been pouring out special graces on the Church at this time to revive it.  We call these graces charisms --- gifts of the Holy Spirit.  They build up the Church in every age.  These gifts need to be discerned and if truly from the Lord, need to be cultivated in the life of the Church.  <P><BR>

A good seed in good soil will bear good fruit.  For a number of years, a young woman named Carolyn (Belprez) Kwiecinski has been sharing with her prayer group the words that flow from her inner soul....  These gifts point us back to the public revelation of Jesus.  I believe such a thing has happened to Carolyn....  <P><BR>

Her messages [published in her three books] were given to a priest in the Diocese of Lansing who has been charged by the bishop to review books and materials for proper theological content.  According to his best judgement, Carolyn's messages are free from theological error and are in harmony with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. <P><BR>

 In evaluating the messages, there was no intention of making a judgement on the supernatural origins of Carolyn's experiences or her messages...."  (For Fr. Ashbaugh's complete statement, please see volume one "Heavenly Grace" -2002) <P><BR>  
   Fr. Ken Coughlin, former pastor of St. Mary Church in Pinckney, MI (currently pastor of Church of the Holy Family in Grand Blanc, MI) wrote in the second volume:  "God continues to pour out heavenly graces even today...  I believe one of those ways is through a young lady, wife, and mother, named Carolyn Belprez Kwiecinski.  Since December of 1996, the Holy Mother of God has spoken through Carolyn, giving messages to her prayer group.  As this prayer group grew in number, it was moved into St. Mary Catholic Church with the permission of the Diocese of Lansing, with extreme caution.  The bishop wanted to make sure that the messages were free from theological error and in harmony with Church doctrine. 
<P><BR>

As the pastor of St. Mary Parish, I have very carefully observed and listened to their content, and have not found any wrong doing.  They are simple messages calling us to holiness and to the sacramental life of the Church....  <P><BR>

I do want to say that I do not want to make any judgement on the supernatural origins of Carolyn's experiences or her messages.  I remain obedient to the Magisterium and the wisdom of Holy Mother Church.  The final decision on the messages' origins is in the hands of the Church hierarchy.  Personally, however, these messages have had and continue to have an awesome impact on the lives of those in attendance....  <P><BR>

The messages to the prayer group have been challenging and uplifting....  As Christians, sons and daughters of God, we are called to a more complete conversion and a richer and more personal relationship with Jesus...."  (For Fr. Coughlin's complete statement, please see volume two "Standing in a Miracle" -2002) <P><BR>  
   Fr. Coughlin, in writing about Mary and the Heavenly Grace prayer group, wrote in the third volume:  "I have had the privilege to hear her call these past seven years as the pastor of St. Mary Parish in Pinckney, Michigan through God's chosen instrument, Carolyn (Belprez) Kwiecinski.  Being part of a prayer group that gathered on the fourth Tuesday of every month, God used this young lady to speak to His children which He loves so much. 
<P><BR>

 Every month God permitted His holy mother to give to the prayer group, through Carolyn, messages from heaven.  As I stated in the previous book..., I do not make any judgement on the supernatural origins of Carolyn's experiences or her messages.... <P><BR>

 However, I also stated that I have seen great fruits of holiness in my life and others through these wonderful messages...."  (For Fr. Coughlin's complete statement, please see volume three "Loved for All Ages" -2005) <P><BR>  
   Like all private revelations, there is no requirement that anyone believe these messages.  Belief is optional, but as theolgian Fr. Edward D. O'Connor says in his book, I am Sending You Prophets, "To cut off these graces until they have been officially approved by the Church is in effect to close oneself to them, because it is simply impossible for the Church to investigate them all; and the few that are investigated are seldom approved until long after they have taken place... 
<P><BR>

 Even the prophecies of Scripture were not, at the moment they were given, approved by religious authorities... when the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary, or the Lord to St. Paul on the way to Damascus, the recipients had to judge on the spot whether this was from God. If they had postponed their response until the hierarchy gave its imprimatur, the grace of these messages would have been lost....  Prophecy is a permanent gift to the Church." <P><BR>  
   The messages Carolyn receives are in English so there is no loss of the message through a translation. The messages are received and delivered and recorded in real time, that is without waiting for them to be written down or remembered so they can later be given to all interested persons.
<P><BR>   Carolyn allows the Holy Spirit to use her to speak what God wants people to know. The messages she receives are given directly through her to all who listen. They are spoken at the exact time they occur. She allows Heaven to speak using her voice, similar to what happens at many charismatic prayer meetings. <P><BR>   Anyone who listens to the messages as they are given or to the reproductions of the messages can notice the inflections, emotions, and other aspects of the messages, in addition to the words themselves. There is great love, as  well as moving pauses, excitement, amazement, sadness and grief for sins committed in the world over how Jesus was and is treated. <P><BR>


   Her mother, Mrs. Deb Walker, teaches theology at a Catholic High School and assists her in scheduling, and other matters.   
   Over the past 11 years or so, I have been able to attend almost every prayer meeting to record these messages for Heavenly Grace.  I strongly recommend the messages Carolyn has received because, as I have found, they can really help you to live the Gospels. 
<P><BR>Sincerely in Christ, <P><BR>

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

<P><BR>

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

Dear friends and family,
 <P><BR>

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

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

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

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

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

With all my love,
  <P><BR>

Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."
<P><BR>

"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."
<P><BR>

"You will make this known." <P><BR>

* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition. <P><BR>

METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN

<p><br>

FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

<p><br>

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

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

<p><br>

A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)

<p><br>

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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father
<p><br>For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of all, I consecrate myself to You, O' Eternal Father, as one of Your faithful remnant. Behold, I come to do Your Will. With the help of Your Grace, I will keep Your Commandments. I will love and reverence You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will love my neighbor as You love me.
<p><br>I make this Consecration through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Your beloved Son, Jesus.
<p><br>O' Eternal Father, send forth Your Holy Spirit to restore my/our broken image and likeness of You. Send forth also Your entire Heavenly Court, all the celestial choirs of Your angels and all Your Saints, to aid me/us in my/our struggle against all the forces of evil in this present darkness. Amen. (Adapted from the Father of All Mankind Apostolate). <p><br>

The Lord's Prayer<p><br>

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

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

Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)
<p><br>

Who art in Heaven, (and Who art in me) <p><br>

Hallowed be Thy Name. (Holy be Thy Name, praised be Thy Name, thanks be to Thy Most Holy Name) <p><br>

Thy Kingdom come. (now - on earth and in me)
<p><br>

Thy Will be done, (now - on earth and in me)
<p><br>

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen. (So I hope. So be it). <p><br>

<p><br>

<p><br>

<B>Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa</B>
<P><BR>

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

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

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

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

<P><BR>

It will be!

For in God’s eyes, there exists one, holy catholic (which means universal), and apostolic church in the Mystical Body of Christ(all Christianity combined).

<P><BR>

"What the Eucharist is in the order of Sacraments, that the Rosary is in
order of sacramentals, the mystery and test of faith—the touchstone by which the soul is judged in its humility.  The mark of the Christian is the willingness to look for the Divine in the flesh of a babe in a crib, the continuing Christ under the appearance of bread on an altar, and a meditation and a prayer on a string of beads." (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen)

We must be aware of our oneness with Christ, as He was aware of oneness with His Father. Our work is truly apostolic only in so far as we permit Him to work in us and through us, with His power, with His desire, and with His love.

<P><BR>

Meditations by Padre Pio - The struggle we have prior to a good work we intend to do is like the antiphon that precedes the solemn psalm to be sung.

<P><BR>

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

We must passionately guard our passions! <P><BR>

 

"Listening to a political figure give a television report in the nation on a world crisis with somewhat the same passion that he would read off the price of cheese in Switzerland and Burma makes one wonder if there is any fire or enthusiasm left for great causes. Obviously, enthusiasm has something to do with passion. <P><BR>

But that word generally evokes two kinds of extreme and wrong reactions: one view is that passion is something we ought to be ashamed of; the other is that passion is always right, and that if we do not give way to its demands, we hurt our personality." <P><BR>

Easter [April 17, 1938]. During Mass, I thanked the Lord Jesus for having deigned to redeem us and for having given us that greatest of all gifts; namely, His love in Holy Communion; that is, His very own Self. At that moment, I was drawn into the bosom of the Most Holy Trinity, and I was immersed in the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, These moments are hard to describe.       (1670) <P><BR>

Write for the benefit of religious souls that it delights Me to come to their hearts in Holy Communion. But if there is anyone else in such a heart, I cannot bear it and quickly leave that heart, taking with Me all the gifts and graces I have prepared for the soul. And the soul does not even notice My going. After some time, inner emptiness and dissatisfaction will come to her attention. Oh, if only she would turn to Me then, I would help her to cleanse her heart, and I would fulfill everything in her soul; but without her knowledge and consent, I cannot be the Master of her heart.      (1683)

Quote of the Day We must never glance at what is good in ourselves, much less ponder over it, but we should search out what is wrong and what is lacking. This is an excellent way of remaining humble. -St. Vincent de Paul. <P><BR>

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY<P><BR>

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

 

Oct 30 - I WANT TO SUPPORT YOU<P><BR>

In a supportive message to Jelena, Our Lady said : <P><BR>

I see that you are tired. I want to support you in all your efforts, to take you in my arms so that you may be close to me. To all those who wish to ask me questions, I will answer : there is only one response prayer, strong faith, intense prayer and fasting. (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana October 28, 1983). <P><BR>

And in the gospel, Christ also promises rest : <P><BR>

Come to me, all of you who are weary and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble of heart. Your souls will find rest, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light (Mt 11 :28-30). <P><BR>

Refection : <P><BR>

One of the joys of Christianity is that Christ not only offers us his strength when we are weary, but also his rest and peace when we are tired. But our attitude plays an important part in this, as the following story illustrates. <P><BR>

A company of pilgrims were on a road, all carrying a burden of some sort. Yet they bore them cheerfully, thinking more of the purpose of their journey than of its hardships, as they went along together singing. An angel joined the little band, and passing from one to the other, threw into each of the burdens a couple of little white seeds. <P><BR>

Soon the seeds began to sprout, until they became a pair of glorious wings which carried each traveler, burden and all, along the dusty road. Later on, a similar party was travelling on the same road, with downcast faces, and greatly complaining of the heavy burdens they carried. The angel passed again but left them with no gift of wings. " Why did you not give them wings? " he was asked. " They look  so downcast and gloomy, surely they need them more than the others. " " I have only the seeds, " replied

the angel, " and the seeds will not grow unless they have the right soil. They will flourish only in cheerfulness and helpfulness, but will perish at once in that atmosphere of grumbling. "<P><BR>

Application: <P><BR>

When next you feel weary and exhausted, ask the Lord with confidence and joy for his rest and peace. Let the words of Our Lady in today's message refresh you. <P><BR>

Mother Teresa   -

Perfect prayer does not consist in many words but in the fervor of the desire which raised the heart to Jesus.
Jesus has chosen us to be souls of prayer, and our actions are fruitful only if they are the true expression of earnest prayer. We must fix our gaze on Jesus, and if we work together with Jesus we will do much better.

There is only one standard by which we can judge <P><BR>

"Proud people think themselves to be better than they are, and when criticized always believe their neighbor is jealous or has a grudge against them. The humble know themselves as they really are, for they judge themselves as they judge time, by a standard outside themselves, namely, God and His Moral Law."

Quote of the Day Believe that others are better than you in the depths of their soul, although outwardly you may appear better than they. -St. Augustine<P><BR>

Today's Tidbit Creed comes from the Latin word meaning "to believe." A creed is a profession of faith and a profession of essential beliefs. The Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed are the two creeds used during the celebration of the Liturgy. Several of the early councils of the Church also wrote creeds, but these have not gained the prominence of the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed. <P><BR>

Oct 29 - THANK YOU FOR OPENING YOUR HEARTS<P><BR>

Our Lady speaks of her joy in hearts open to God : <P><BR>

Dear children, today I thank you for opening your hearts. I am overwhelmed with joy for every heart that opens to God, especially in the parish. Rejoice with me! Continue to say all the prayers for the opening of sinful hearts, for not only do I desire it, but it is God's wish as well. (Weekly Message April 18, 1985). <P><BR>

And from the Book of Revelation : <P><BR>

Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you, and you with me (Rev 3 :20). <P><BR>

Reflection: <P><BR>

There is a legend along the Rhine that on a dark and cold night a thinly clad, half-starved man was toiling along one of its rugged paths. He looked with wistful eyes at the bright light that shone from the windows of a great mansion, and listened to the sounds of feasting and joyful music. <P><BR>

He had left the home of his youth in early life, and heard nothing from there for many years. He knew not that the magnificent property was his father's, and that her was the heir. Desperate, he asked for shelter there. At the gate he found an old servant who discovered who he was. Instantly he was ushered into the gaiety. His robes were changed to those of the heir. He had discovered a heritage he did not know existed. <P><BR>

In the same way, one with a closed heart is unaware of all that belongs to him as a son of God. But once the heart is opened and the grace of God enlightens the soul, he discovers he is heir to the kingdom of God. <P><BR>

Application: <P><BR>

Today, pray for an ever greater openness to the Lord, and especially that sinful hearts may open to God's grace, as Our Lady asks of us. <P><BR>

"If you believe what you like in the Gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself." St. Augustine <P><BR>

<P><BR>

"The Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ which suffered for our sins, which the Father raised up by his goodness" (St. Ignatius of Antioch).

<P><BR>

Mother Teresa -  

He taught us to learn from Him, to be meek and humble of heart.
If we are meek and humble, we will love each other as He loves us.

<P><BR>

Meditations by Padre Pio - If we are calm and patient, we will not only find ourselves, but also our souls and, with it, God.

<P><BR>

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Pride is the child of ignorance<P><BR>

 "Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire. So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge." <P><BR>

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

I saw how unwillingly the Lord Jesus came to certain souls in Holy Communion. And He spoke these words to me: I enter into certain hearts as into a second Passion.(1598)

As I was praying to the living Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament for the intention of a certain priest, Jesus suddenly gave me knowledge of His goodness and said to me, I will give him nothing that is beyond his strength.      (1607)

<P><BR>

Quote of the Day In those days he departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the Son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. -Lk 6:12-16<P><BR>

Today's Tidbit The Zealots were a group in Israel at the time of Christ who believed the Messiah would be a military leader to help Israel become an independent nation free from foreign control. <P><BR>

Oct 28 - I GIVE YOU STRENGTH<P><BR>

In this message to the prayer group, the Blessed Virgin speaks of giving strength :

Dear children, your Mother loves you all. I'm happy to see you here, dear children. I give you love and ask you to give this love to others. Be peacemakers and help others to change their lives. <P><BR>

I give you strength, dear children. With this strength, you can bear anything. May this strength, you can bear anything. May this strength make you strong in all things. Because you need it, I give you strength (Visionary June 27, 1988), <P><BR>

The prophet Isaiah also promises strength to God's people : <P><BR>

He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength, They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. --Isaiah 40 :29-31<P><BR>

Reflection: <P><BR>

Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was one of the great pastors and scholars of the Catholic church in England. His writings included this prayer for strength : <P><BR>

May the Lord strengthen us all the day long. Till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, And the busy world is hushed and the fever of life is over, And our work is done. Then in his mercy may he give us A safe lodging, A holy rest, And peace at the last. Amen. <P><BR>

One of the blessings of our faith is that we need not rely solely on our own strength, for we have an inexhaustible reservoir in God himself. Further, as Our Lady says today, we are urged to draw from this reservoir whenever we are in need. <P><BR>

 

Application: <P><BR>

"With this strength, " the Virgin says, " you can bear anything. " Today, commit to memory the promise that when we are in need, the strength of Christ and Our Lady is available for the asking<P><BR>

Message of October 25, 2007<P><BR>

"Dear children! Today the Lord permitted me to tell you again that you live in a time of grace. You are not conscious, little children, that God is giving you a great opportunity to convert and to live in peace and love. You are so blind and attached to earthly things and think of earthly life. God sent me to lead you toward eternal life. I, little children, am not tired, although I see that your hearts are heavy and tired for everything that is a grace and a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call." <P><BR>

Message of October 25, 2004 <P><BR>

"Dear children! This is a time of grace for the family and, therefore, I call you to renew prayer. May Jesus be in the heart of your family. In prayer, learn to love everything that is holy. Imitate the lives of saints so that they may be an incentive and teachers on the way of holiness. May every family become a witness of love in this world without prayer and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call." <P><BR>

Message of October 25, 2005 <P><BR>

"Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love. Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call."

<P><BR>

"Be consumed in honoring Him and . . . acknowledge the burning love He shows us in this wonderful Sacrament.  Here His love holds Him captive till the end of time.  It is of this one can truly say, 'Love triumphs, love enjoys/Love finds in God its joys!" (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque).

<P><BR>

Mother Teresa  -

Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself.
Ask and seek, and your heart will grow big enough to receive Him and keep Him as your own.

<P><BR>

Meditations by Padre Pio

The Spirit of God is a Spirit of peace and even in the most serious faults He makes us feel a sorrow that is tranquil, humble, and confident and this is precisely because of His mercy. <P><BR>

The spirit of the devil, instead, excites, exasperates and makes us feel, in that very sorrow, anger against ourselves, whereas we should on the contrary be charitable with ourselves first and foremost. <P><BR>

Therefore, if any thought agitates you, this agitation never comes from God, who gives you peace, being the Spirit of Peace, but from the devil. <P><BR>

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

The Greatness of God is so often forgotten

"Humility which gives preference to others is not very popular today, principally because men have forgotten the Greatness of God. By expanding our puny little self to the infinite, we have made the true Infinity of God seem trivial. The less knowledge we have of anything the more insignificant it seems."

<P><BR>

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  - Jesus, hide me; just as You have hidden Yourself under the form of the white Host, so hide me from human eyes, and particularly hide the gifts which You so kindly grant me. May I not betray outwardly what You are effecting in my soul. I am a white host before You, O Divine Priest. Consecrate me Yourself, and may my transubstantiation be known only to You. <P><BR>

 I stand before You each day as a sacrificial host and implore Your mercy upon the world. In silence, and unseen, I will empty myself before You; my pure and undivided love will burn, in profound silence, as a holocaust. And may the fragrance of my love be wafted to the foot of Your throne. You are the Lord of lords, but You delight in innocent and humble souls.      (1564)

<P><BR>

Quote of the Day In truth, the soul can possess no better insight for knowledge than to perceive its own nothingness. -St. Angela of Foligno<P><BR>

Today's Tidbit "Lex orandi, lex credendi" is a form of the axiom of Pope St. Celestine I: "Legem credendi statuit lex orandi." This is often translated "The rule of prayer determines the rule of faith." This is an idea used to help explain the interaction between liturgy, and doctrine. This idea uses liturgy and prayers as tools to help understand, explain and pass on the important doctrines of the Church. An obvious example of this the Creed we pray at Mass. The Creed states what we believe, it can be taught easily to others, and it can help us understand our Faith.

OCTOBER 27 - GROW IN YOUR WORK FOR THE CHURCH<P><BR>

In this weekly message, Our Lady issues a special call<P><BR>

 

Dear children, today I wish to call you to work within the church. I love each of you equally and desire that you do this work as much as possible. I know that you can, dear children, but you feel small and inadequate in these things. You need to be courageous and, like little flowers, grow in your work for the church and for Jesus. This will be good for everyone. (Weekly Message October 31, 1985). <P><BR>

In 1 Corinthians, Paul also calls the people to ministry : <P><BR>

Now, brothers and sisters, you know that members of the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints; I urge you to put yourselves at the service of such people, and of everyone who works and toils with them (1 Cor 16 :15-16). <P><BR>

Reflection: <P><BR>

At our confirmation, we were commissioned to assume an active role in the church as adult Christians. Today St. Paul and Our Lady remind us of that role, asking that we translate it into concrete action. <P><BR>

An illustration : <P><BR>

In the 1930's a young traveler was exploring the French Alps when he came upon a vast stretch of barren, desolate land. In the middle of this vast wasteland was a stooped old man with a sack of acorns on his back and a four-foot-long iron pipe in his hand. <P><BR>

The man was using the iron pipe to punch holes in the ground. Then from the sack he would take an acorn and put it in the hole. The old man told the traveler, " I've planted over 100,000 acorns. Maybe only a tenth of them will grow. " The old man's wife and son had died, and this was how he spent his final years. <P><BR>

Twenty-five years later the traveler returned to the same desolate spot. What he saw amazed him the land was covered with a beautiful forest two miles wide and five miles long. Birds were singing, animals were playing, and wildflowers perfumed the air, all because someone cared. <P><BR>

The Blessed Virgin calls us to action as well, to do our part to spread God's kingdom on earth. We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can change part of it, just as the old man did. Today St. Paul and Our Lady remind us of that role, asking that we translate it into concrete action. We received our sack of acorns and our iron pipe when we were confirmed. Now it's up to us to do something with them. <P><BR>

Application: <P><BR>

What needs are there within your parish church and community? How can you actively meet some of those needs with your own gifts and talents, as Our Lady recommends today? <P><BR>

HOW GRATEFUL HE IS TO COME TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND WANT ONLY TO SERVE HIM. MANY TIMES I HAVE ASKED YOU TO RECEIVE JESUS WITH THE UTMOST REVERENCE.

DO NOT BECOME CASUAL IN YOUR RECEPTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST, THIS OFFENDS MY SON AND HE IS ONCE MORE CAUSED PAIN AND SORROW BY THOSE WHO HAVE BECOME COMPLACENT. TAKE MY EUCHARISTIC JESUS INTO YOURSELVES WITH TRUE LOVE AND TRUE REVERENCE. <P><BR>

Past Messages to Fr. Doucette <P><BR>

Messages to Fr. Doucette - August 22, 2009 - Here is the message of Our Blessed Mother. She spoke to him in these words,I bless you, My son, on this Feast of Mine. Today you celebrate the Queenship of your Blessed Mother. After My Assumption into heaven, the Father crowned me as Queen of heaven and earth. My Son Jesus is the King and I am the Queen. I am working together with Him to help you all to reach heaven one day. <P><BR>

    The Holy Spirit has been poured upon all those who believe in My Son Jesus. All who receive the Spirit receive different spiritual gifts and different services. Some are given the gift of wisdom, others knowledge according to the same Spirit. Others receive faith, or the gift of healing or others prophecy, the discernment of spirits, others the gift of tongues or the interpretation of tongues. Open your heart to the Spirit and receive these wonderful gifts that come from Him. Use the gifts the Holy Spirit gives you for the glory of God and for the growth of the Church of My Son. <P><BR>

    I am praying for you that you will be full of the Holy Spirit and be completely renewed by the same Spirit. Be humble and ask for His help every day. Be an example of a person completely united with the Father and Jesus, My Son, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I call you all to pray your Rosary every day. <P><BR>

   August 29, 2009 - Below is the message of Our Blessed Mother. She spoke to him these words, <P><BR>

   I bless you, Joseph Melvin, My son. I wish to send a word to all My sons and daughters spread throughout the world. As you know I stood at the foot of the cross of My Son Jesus as He was dying in horrible suffering. I offered My sorrow together with His to the Father for the salvation of all of you. It was there on the cross just before He died that He spoke to Me. <P><BR>

As John the Apostle stood for all of you, Jesus said these words, Woman, behold, your son, and to John He said, Behold, your mother. By these words I became your Mother. So if you accept Jesus as Your Savior and Lord, I am truly your Mother who prays for you and appears in many parts of the world to call you to follow Jesus, My Son. <P><BR>

    As your Mother, I love you all with all My Heart. I want the salvation of all of you and what sorrow it would bring Me if anyone of you should be lost. Come, My dear children, and listen to your Mother. I call you to renew yourselves in body and spirit through the graces won for you by your Savior’s death on the cross. Be fervent in your spiritual life and pray with all your heart. Do not follow the ways of the world for it will lead you away from Jesus. Always be a friend of Jesus and your Mother. I bless you. <P><BR>

    August 30, 2009 - The message of Our Lord and Savior. Jesus spoke to him in these words, <P><BR>

   Every person on earth lives there for only a time and after his or her time is over, the person will go to the other world. Every person has an immortal soul and therefore will never die. Today many people think that life ends at death but the truth is that life continues after death. <P><BR>

At death life changes, you no longer live in the world but you go to one of the three places: heaven, purgatory or hell. If you have followed Me in your lifetime on earth, I will bring you to heaven with Me. If you did not repent sufficiently and did not make amends for your sins but you were sorry for all your sins, you will go to purgatory to be purified before you go to heaven. <P><BR>

 If you rejected Me during your life on earth and did not repent of your sins and come back to Me before you died, you will go to hell. I give you all the graces you need to follow Me in the world and to be united with Me forever in heaven for all eternity. At the end of time I will return for the Last Judgment and there will be the resurrection of all the dead. I rose from the dead and I am the first person to do so. Yours will come later. Prepare yourselves daily by cooperating with all the graces I give you. Come follow Me. <P><BR>

    September 1, 2009 - The message of Our Lord and Savior. Jesus spoke to him these words,  At the general resurrection, which will take place at the end of the world when I return for the Last Judgment, all mortals will put on immortality. Their mortal bodies will become immortal and they will leave the earth with their immortal souls and their immortal bodies. <P><BR>

 The soul was created immortal but the body was not. It is only at the end when all the dead will come back to life that they will have immortal bodies. If one goes to heaven, then that person will be there for all eternity. If one should be sent to hell, that person will be there for all eternity. <P><BR>

    Pray, My friends, that you will persevere till the end so that you will be able to come with Me to enjoy heavenly joy forever. You are only in this world for a short time, so if you suffer, suffer everything with Me and offer your suffering to the Father together with mine. In this way you will be saved and you will bring many others who will follow you to heaven because you would have won for them many graces. I am calling you home. <P><BR>

    September 2, 2009 - The message given by Our Lord and God. Jesus spoke to him these words, Every person has his or her share of suffering. Some do suffer more than others. Because suffering is part of every person’s life, that is why I chose suffering as the means to bring about your salvation. When you suffer, remember that you are very close to Me and I am giving you strength in all your afflictions. <P><BR>

    You know how I suffered during My life. Even as an infant, the King wanted to kill Me and My parents had to flee to Egypt to save Me from his hands. In My public life, I suffered very much. I often had to sleep outside and often I went to bed hungry. I was falsely accused by the religious leaders many times. At the end I was arrested, beaten severely, crowned with thorns and condemned to death. I had to carry My cross to Golgotha where I was nailed to the cross and died in horrible pain. <P><BR>

I suffered all this for you so that through My sacrifice you would be redeemed from sin and that the gates of heaven would be opened for you. In all your afflictions, stay close to Me, your suffering Savior. With My grace you will overcome every affliction and win the crown of glory. <P><BR>

     September 3, 2009 - The message of Our Lord and God. Jesus spoke to him these words, I told the Apostles and it is written in the Gospel that I am the light, the way and the truth. When I was born in Bethlehem, the whole world was in darkness living under the sway of the evil one. I came to bring light to your minds and hearts and to establish My Kingdom among you. <P><BR>

After teaching the Apostles for three years and commissioning them to go to the whole world and preach the Gospel, the light began to spread from Israel to the Middle East and to Europe and even to Asia. The Apostles worked hard going from place to place announcing the Good News. Many came to believe and enter My Church and become part of the Kingdom of God. Today the Gospel has reached every country of the world and many believe but there are also many who have rejected Me. The great work of preaching the Gospel must go forward because I want the salvation of every people. Pray, My friends, and do your part to spread the word. <P><BR>

    September 4, 2009 - Message from Our Lord and Savior. Jesus spoke to him these words, It is a fact that all My Apostles carried in their bodies My death so that My life may also be seen in their bodies. This death is shown by all they suffered at the hands of pagans and Jews. They were often beaten, thrown into prison, went to bed hungry and were condemned to death. <P><BR>

All of them except the Apostle John were martyrs, killed because of their faith in Me. Through all this suffering they manifested in their bodies My suffering life in this world. Yet they were being prepared by the graces I won for them for the glory of heaven. They grew in holiness during those years they traveled proclaiming the Good News of salvation. Many people accepted their word and believed in Me. <P><BR>

    My dear friends, I call you too to accept any suffering that comes your way and unite your suffering with mine and offer all this suffering to the Father for the salvation of the people of the world. It is through suffering that you grow in holiness and you see that the pleasures of this world are worth nothing. Live with Me the true life and be saved. <P><BR>

    September 5, 2009 - Message from Our Blessed Mother. Our Lady spoke to him in these words, There is a time to be born in the world and a time to leave the world and if you have followed My Son Jesus, you will enter heaven. You know that you are in the world only for a time but when you get to heaven it will be for eternity. Work hard and pray, My children, so that you will find the door of heaven opened when your time will come. <P><BR>

    If you are a friend of Jesus, I will be there when the time comes to bring you home to eternal bliss. Be children of faith who follow Jesus every day. Avoid sin at all cost and continue your good deeds every day. I am praying for you because I want you with Me in heaven one day. I do not want any of My children lost so join Me in praying for the salvation of every person. <P><BR>

Fast at times to control your bodily appetites and drives. I love you, My sons and daughters, and I send you all the graces won by My Son Jesus that you need. Cooperate with these graces and you will be filled with love and peace. <P><BR>

    September 6, 2009 - Message of Our Lord and Savior. Jesus spoke to him these words: It was on Good Friday that I died on the cross to reconcile you with the Father. I paid the price for your sins so that sin could be wiped out and you could become once more the beloved of the Father. <P><BR>

It is the priests who carry out the ministry of reconciliation through the sacrament of confession. If you are sorry for your sins, they are all absolved and never to be remembered. Go and receive this sacrament of My love about once a month and it will bring you much peace in your heart. <P><BR>

    At this time the world is in great darkness because of sin. So many people are living in sin and they do not even see that what they are doing offends the Father. To make it worst, the evil one has managed to make sin appear as virtue and one example of this is to pretend that sexual acts outside of marriage are not sins. It is time for all to wake up and learn from Me how to live a virtuous life. I call you all to holiness. <P><BR>

    September 7, 2009 - Message of Our Lord and Savior. Jesus spoke to him in these words, I am the One who calls those that I have chosen for the priesthood and the religious life. They have to listen to Me at the center of their hearts and they will hear My words. I am the one who called St. Paul to be an Apostle. <P><BR>

He worked very hard and suffered much like the other Apostles but all this hardship never stopped him in his ministry. He always remained close to Me and he was always ready to give his life for Me. He was a holy man who left everything to follow Me. At the end he died a martyr’s death. Now he is with Me in heaven. <P><BR>

    You are all called for a special ministry in My Church. Not all are called to be priests but some are called to be deacons, or to help the poor, the sick and the elderly. Many are called to teach religion. Open your heart completely and listen to My call. <P><BR>

    September 8, 2009 - The message of Our Blessed Mother given to me for this Feast Day. Our Lady began with these words, I bless you My son, on this day that the Church celebrates My Birthday and this day is also My Feast as the Lady of Prince Edward Island. I came to visit you for the first time, on the 14th of December 2000. <P><BR>

I have come to visit you every year since then and there has been development along the way. You now have My little shrine, which I love very much, and you have 15 acres of land, which is all you need for the other buildings that will be built in time. <P><BR>

    I come today with a message for Canada and for the world. Many people are leaving the Church of My Son in many parts of the world especially in North America and Europe. They stop praying and going to Church and they become either atheists or members of different sects. They are bringing darkness upon their countries and upon themselves. Many Governments are at war with God by abolishing the Commandments given by God the Father, Himself. <P><BR>

 What is worst is that the Catholics are not reacting to these horrible sins. It is time for all Christians to wake up and defend the truth of Christianity. Are you so weak in your faith that you do not defend the truths given to you by Jesus, My Son? Many Christians simply follow the decisions of non-Christians. <P><BR>

You know that I am the Mother of Life and the gift of life is the most precious you have received. Do not allow anyone to kill the unborn or the elderly. Get your government to follow the path of the Government of Prince Edward Island that has not legalized abortion. If you love Me, My children, you will be for life. Defend life at all stages. I bless you all. <P><BR>

    September 9, 2009 - Message of Our Lord and Savior. Jesus spoke to him in these words, It is with My grace that you can be cleansed from all your sins. I have provided for you the sacrament of mercy called the Sacrament of Reconciliation by which the priest absolves you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. <P><BR>

Through this sacrament you become holy in the eyes of your Lord. I do not want to condemn you but to show My mercy and to save you but you have to do your part. You have to confess your sins and be sorry for them all. Then I will absolve them all and you will be filled with My life. <P><BR>

    My dear friends, I only act with a heart full of love towards you who have faith in Me. I know you are weak and you often fall into sin but I am there to help you get up and to heal your soul. Alone you cannot rise from that pit but with My help you can come out and be free again. <P><BR>

 I want you to be free to love Me, your Savior, to love all those you meet and to appreciate all that the Father has given you. The beauty of nature is a gift of Our Father who created you. I also give peace to all My friends. It is a peace that the world cannot give as it comes only from Me. Receive this peace that I am giving you today and live today and every day in that peace. Peace be with you. <P><BR>

   Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you. 3 times. <P><BR>

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

<P><BR>

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

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

26 OCT. AFRICAN DIASPORA CHRISTIANS’ WARNING PROPHECY MEDITATIONS FOR BLACK CATHOLICS, COPTICS, AND ORTHODOX
Now Playing: AFROCENTRIC JOYFUL MYSTERIES ROSARY, CHAPLET DIVINE MERCY, DIVINE OFFICE
Topic: Prophecy Meditation


26 OCT. AFRICAN DIASPORA CHRISTIANS’ WARNING PROPHECY MEDITATIONS FOR BLACK CATHOLICS, COPTICS, AND ORTHODOX LITURGICAL CHURCHES IN THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST


African Black Saints, Black Catholics, Coptic, and Orthodox Christians’ Spirituality in Africa, the Caribbean, Oceania, South Pacific Rim, Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Palau, Tuvulu, Nauru, Vanuatu, Australia, New Zealand and Islands of the Solomons, Marianas, Society, Marshall, and all the New Hebrides.


WARNING PROPHECY MEDITATIONS FOR ORIENTAL BRANCHES OF BLACK CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS--LATIN, COPTIC, AND ORTHODOX RITES IN THE AFRICAN HISTORIC AND GEOLOGIC DIASPORA.


For the coming plagues and illnesses:


FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )


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


Dear friends and family,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN


PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.


September 18, 2009


Public


Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."


"You will make this known."


* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


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


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


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

My child, there is soon to be a great denouncement of the work in which I have been doing to draw souls closer to My Most Sacred Heart. This is a time of prayer My daughter for the world is soon to face great turmoil. Now go forth for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will prevail.


Message from Jesus to patsy soto Oct.24,2009

 


You may release it, and also my message to you.

 


What a beautiful and encouraging message. I was pleased to see all the messages that Our Lady gave to Juan Diego.


‘…As for your own ill health, remember that Our Lady at Medjugorje many times tells us that she needs our prayers and fasting, penances, sufferings, sacrifices, crosses. Dark prayer and sufferings also purify us of our self will and open us to accepting an living in obedience to God's will for us. Be assured of my prayers’


Message from Jesus to patsy soto received - Saturday, October 24, 2009 @ 2:13 pm


ended at 2: 35 pm


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


I plead your most Precious Blood over the words you give our Jesus please take away all that is not of you.......Beloved Daughter my little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart. It has been a while that I have given you words for the world, but this day as many are hearing the words of wars, catastrophes, calamities, earth shattering news breaking are My Children LISTENING?


I do not come this day to give you words of warning, no My little one, I come to ask for prayer, for it is only prayer that can change this world. I know you are not understanding why I have brought you back and taken so much from you, oh My little one do not be sad for it is through surrendering your all, being stripped of all that is not of Me, leaving you alone that you can draw closer to Me.


Yes, I understand the difficulties you have in prayer that is darkness of the soul My Little One and you will see that once this darkness leaves you will enjoy only LIGHT, MY LIGHT My little one. Yes I am asking you to have a NFWP in December with My Beloved Fr. Melvin and for those of My children who will attend will see not only My Love and My Mercy but will know and see My Holy Mother.


For this is the time of Her annual NFWP in a land where sin abounds but My MERCY WILL OVERTAKE! It has been many years that you have done this novena in honor of My Beloved Mother, from December 4 through December 12, 2009 she will be there each day and many will see and not believe but will know THAT SHE IS as she said to Juan Diego- Know and understand well, you the most humble of my son, that I am the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth.


I wish that a temple be erected here quickly, so I may therein exhibit and give all my love, compassion, help, and protection, because I am your merciful mother, to you, and to all the inhabitants on this land and all the rest who love me, invoke and confide in me; listen there to their lamentations, and remedy all their miseries, afflictions and sorrows.


And to accomplish what my clemency pretends, go to the palace of the bishop of Mexico, and you will say to him that I manifest my great desire, that here on this plain a temple be built to me; you will accurately relate all you have seen and admired, and what you have heard. Be assured that I will be most grateful and will reward you, because I will make you happy and worthy of recompense for the effort and fatigue in what you will obtain of what I have entrusted. Behold, you have heard my mandate, my humble son; go and put forth all your effort.


Second Apparition


Hark, my son the least, you must understand that I have many servants and messengers, to whom I must entrust the delivery of my message, and carry my wish, but it is of precise detail that you yourself solicit and assist and that through your mediation my wish be complied.


I earnestly implore, my son the least, and with sternness I command that you again go tomorrow and see the bishop. You go in my name, and make known my wish in its entirety that he has to start the erection of a temple which I ask of him. And again tell him that I, in person, the ever-virgin Holy Mary, Mother of God, sent you.


Third Apparition

 


Well and good, my little dear, you will return here tomorrow, so you may take to the bishop the sign he has requested. With this he will believe you, and in this regard he will not doubt you nor will he be suspicious of you; and know, my little dear, that I will reward your solicitude and effort and fatigue spent of my behalf. Lo! go now. I will await you here tomorrow.


Fourth Apparition


Hear me and understand well, my son the least, that nothing should frighten or grieve you. Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear that sickness, nor any other sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who is your Mother? Are you not under my protection?


Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold? What else do you wish? Do not grieve nor be disturbed by anything. Do not be afflicted by the illness of your uncle, who will not die now of it. be assured that he is now cured.


(And then his uncle was cured, as it was later learned.)


When Juan Diego heard these words from the Lady from heaven

 


Climb, my son the least, to the top of the hill; there where you saw me and I gave you orders, you will find different flowers. Cut them, gather them, assemble them, then come and bring them before my presence.

 


My son the least, this diversity of roses is the proof and the sign which you will take to the bishop. You will tell him in my name that he will see in them my wish and that he will have to comply to it. You are my ambassador, most worthy of all confidence.


Rigorously I command you that only before the presence of the bishop will you unfold your mantle and disclose what you are carrying. You will relate all and well; you will tell that I ordered you to climb to the hilltop, to go and cut flowers; and all that you saw and admired, so you can induce the prelate to give his support, with the aim that a temple be built and erected as I have asked.

 


My Beloved little one go over these words, read these words over in your heart, that all that may listen, may read, may understand the GRACES I WILL SHOWER UPON EACH WHO WILL HONOR MY REQUEST TO ATTEND THIS URGENT NOVENA FOR WORLD PEACE that has been given each year during this time of My Holy Mother's apparition as Our Lady of Guadalupe QUEEN OF PEACE!


I love you My little one, give this to your Spiritual Director that He May Know as He Will understand all that I am requesting, I love you My Daughter, My Little one remain in My Peace and My Love, your Jesus of Mercy

 


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 27 - GROW IN YOUR WORK FOR THE CHURCH

 


Medjugorge Message of October 25, 2007


"Dear children! Today the Lord permitted me to tell you again that you live in a time of grace. You are not conscious, little children, that God is giving you a great opportunity to convert and to live in peace and love.


You are so blind and attached to earthly things and think of earthly life. God sent me to lead you toward eternal life. I, little children, am not tired, although I see that your hearts are heavy and tired for everything that is a grace and a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 


Message of October 25, 2004


"Dear children! This is a time of grace for the family and, therefore, I call you to renew prayer. May Jesus be in the heart of your family. In prayer, learn to love everything that is holy. Imitate the lives of saints so that they may be an incentive and teachers on the way of holiness. May every family become a witness of love in this world without prayer and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 


Message of October 25, 2005


"Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love.


Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"Be consumed in honoring Him and . . . acknowledge the burning love He shows us in this wonderful Sacrament. Here His love holds Him captive till the end of time. It is of this one can truly say, 'Love triumphs, love enjoys/Love finds in God its joys!" (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque).


Mother Teresa - Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will grow big enough to receive Him and keep Him as your own.

 


Meditations by Padre Pio - The Spirit of God is a Spirit of peace and even in the most serious faults He makes us feel a sorrow that is tranquil, humble, and confident and this is precisely because of His mercy.

 


The spirit of the devil, instead, excites, exasperates and makes us feel, in that very sorrow, anger against ourselves, whereas we should on the contrary be charitable with ourselves first and foremost.

 


Therefore, if any thought agitates you, this agitation never comes from God, who gives you peace, being the Spirit of Peace, but from the devil.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The Greatness of God is so often forgotten

 


"Humility which gives preference to others is not very popular today, principally because men have forgotten the Greatness of God. By expanding our puny little self to the infinite, we have made the true Infinity of God seem trivial. The less knowledge we have of anything the more insignificant it seems."

 


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus, hide me; just as You have hidden Yourself under the form of the white Host, so hide me from human eyes, and particularly hide the gifts which You so kindly grant me. May I not betray outwardly what You are effecting in my soul. I am a white host before You, O Divine Priest. Consecrate me Yourself, and may my transubstantiation be known only to You.


I stand before You each day as a sacrificial host and implore Your mercy upon the world. In silence, and unseen, I will empty myself before You; my pure and undivided love will burn, in profound silence, as a holocaust. And may the fragrance of my love be wafted to the foot of Your throne. You are the Lord of lords, but You delight in innocent and humble souls. (1564)


Quote of the Day In truth, the soul can possess no better insight for knowledge than to perceive its own nothingness. -St. Angela of Foligno

 


"Lex orandi, lex credendi" is a form of the axiom of Pope St. Celestine I: "Legem credendi statuit lex orandi." This is often translated "The rule of prayer determines the rule of faith." This is an idea used to help explain the interaction between liturgy, and doctrine.


This idea uses liturgy and prayers as tools to help understand, explain and pass on the important doctrines of the Church. An obvious example of this the Creed we pray at Mass. The Creed states what we believe, it can be taught easily to others, and it can help us understand our Faith.

 

 


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. -

 


OCTOBER 27 - GROW IN YOUR WORK FOR THE CHURCH In this weekly message, Our Lady issues a special call

 


Dear children, today I wish to call you to work within the church. I love each of you equally and desire that you do this work as much as possible. I know that you can, dear children, but you feel small and inadequate in these things. You need to be courageous and, like little flowers, grow in your work for the church and for Jesus. This will be good for everyone. (Weekly Message October 31, 1985).

 


In 1 Corinthians, Paul also calls the people to ministry :

 


Now, brothers and sisters, you know that members of the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints; I urge you to put yourselves at the service of such people, and of everyone who works and toils with them (1 Cor 16 :15-16).

 


Reflection: At our confirmation, we were commissioned to assume an active role in the church as adult Christians. Today St. Paul and Our Lady remind us of that role, asking that we translate it into concrete action.

 


An illustration : In the 1930's a young traveler was exploring the French Alps when he came upon a vast stretch of barren, desolate land. In the middle of this vast wasteland was a stooped old man with a sack of acorns on his back and a four-foot-long iron pipe in his hand.

 


The man was using the iron pipe to punch holes in the ground. Then from the sack he would take an acorn and put it in the hole. The old man told the traveler, " I've planted over 100,000 acorns. Maybe only a tenth of them will grow. " The old man's wife and son had died, and this was how he spent his final years.

 


Twenty-five years later the traveler returned to the same desolate spot. What he saw amazed him the land was covered with a beautiful forest two miles wide and five miles long. Birds were singing, animals were playing, and wildflowers perfumed the air, all because someone cared.

 


The Blessed Virgin calls us to action as well, to do our part to spread God's kingdom on earth. We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can change part of it, just as the old man did.


Today St. Paul and Our Lady remind us of that role, asking that we translate it into concrete action. We received our sack of acorns and our iron pipe when we were confirmed. Now it's up to us to do something with them.

 


Application: What needs are there within your parish church and community? How can you actively meet some of those needs with your own gifts and talents, as Our Lady recommends today?

 


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 26 - SACRED HEART OF JESUS

 


Message of October 25, 2006


"Dear children! Today the Lord permitted me to tell you again that you live in a time of grace. You are not conscious, little children, that God is giving you a great opportunity to convert and to live in peace and love.


You are so blind and attached to earthly things and think of earthly life. God sent me to lead you toward eternal life. I, little children, am not tired, although I see that your hearts are heavy and tired for everything that is a grace and a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"Contemplation of the Eucharist must urge all members of the Church, in the first place the priests, ministers of the Eucharist, to revive their commitment of faith.


The celibacy that the priests received as a precious gift and the sign of the undivided love toward God and the neighbor is founded upon the Eucharistic mystery, celebrated and adored.


Eucharistic spirituality must also be the interior motor of any activity for the lay persons, and no dichotomy is admissible between faith and life in their mission of spreading the spirit of Christianity in the world" (Pope Benedict XVI, Homily for the close of the Eucharistic Year, Oct. 23, 2005).


"The tender love of God for the world infused into my soul a need for adoration, respect and love towards the Blessed Sacrament" (Mother Mary of Jesus, Foundress of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice).


Mother Teresa - Let the love of God once take entire and absolute possession of a heart; let it apply itself continually to increase this love of God by seeking to please Him in all things and refusing Him nothing that He asks; let it have a firm determination never to commit any fault deliberately and knowingly; or if it should fall, to be humble for it and to rise up again at once. Such a heart will pray continually.

 


Meditations by Padre Pio - Don't lose heart if it is your lot to work a lot and gather little. If you considered what one soul alone costs Jesus, you would never complain.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - There's no happiness in the realm of the ego


"The modern tendency is toward the affirmation of the ego, the exaltation of selfishness, riding roughshod over others in order to satisfy our own self-centeredness. It certainly has not produced much happiness, for the more the ego asserts itself the more miserable it becomes."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Oh, how painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves to Me in Holy Communion. I wait for souls, and they are indifferent toward Me. I love them tenderly and sincerely, and they distrust Me. I want to lavish My graces on them, and they do not want to accept them.


They treat Me as a dead object, whereas My Heart is full of love and mercy. In order that you may know at least some of My pain, imagine the most tender of mothers who has great love for her children, while those children spurn her love. Consider her pain. No one is in a position to console her. This is but a feeble image and likeness of My love. (1447)

 


After Holy Communion the Lord said to me, If the priest had not brought Me to you, I would have come Myself under the same species. My daughter, your sufferings of this night obtained the grace of mercy for an immense number of souls. (1459)


Today, when the chaplain [Father Theodore] brought the Lord Jesus, a light issued from the Host, its light striking my heart and filling me with a great fire of love. Jesus was letting me know that I should answer the inspirations of grace with more faithfulness, and that my vigilance should be more subtle. (1462)

 


Quote of the Day The thought follows the look; delight comes after the thought; and consent after delight -St. Augustine


Today's Tidbit The early lives of today's saints show us that the devil often uses normal people to do his will through ignorance and the use of black magic. Lucian and Marcian remind us that we should never follow any temptation to call upon the devil or any of his tools for assistance, and that we should trust our lives only to God.


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


Oct 26 - SACRED HEART OF JESUS


Given to Jelena during an interior locution :


Pray! You can do anything, yes, you can do it through prayer! Place an image of the hearts of Jesus and Mary in your homes (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana November 11, 1983).

 


The Sacred Heart is a symbol of God's unfathomable love. As St. John writes :

 


Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever doesn't love does not know God, for God is love (1 Jn 4 :7-8).

 


Reflection:

 


A Valentine might be considered a pale reflection of the Sacred Heart it symbolizes human love, while the Heart of Jesus represents the infinite, divine love of Christ himself. Devotion to the Sacred Heart, then, is devotion to God's love, which we strive to imitate. This contemporary Sacred Heart Psalm by Fr.

 


Edward Hays expresses this longing :


O Divine Beloved, so often I am casual and halfhearted in my love for you my God.


Come and set my heart ablaze with the fire of your love.


Inflame my hearts and prayers as you did for your chosen son Jesus.


His holy heart was constantly on fire with a consuming love for you, his God.


Envelop me in your gleaming Spirit, that my lukewarm prayers and acts may spring alive with the fire of faith.


Make my heart, like the heart of Christ, burn with compassion for the outcast, with comfort for the lonely and all who are in need.


Application:


Today, spend part of your prayer time reflecting on the love of Christ. When you have an opportunity, place an image of the hearts of Jesus and Mary in your home, as Our Lady asks.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 25 - DISCOVER ME IN THE POOR


Message of October 25, 2009


"Dear children! Also today I bring you my blessing, I bless you all and I call you to grow on this way, which God has begun through me for your salvation. Pray, fast and joyfully witness your faith, little children, and may your heart always be filled with prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"Here, in the holy Tabernacle, is the wonderful pool of Bethsaida, that is, the 'house of mercy' or 'place of healing,' in which the Divine waters of grace are constantly in motion. Here every person can obtain the health of his soul, and if it be the Will of God, the health of his body" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).

 


Mother Teresa - Our prayers should be burning words coming forth from the furnace of a heart filled with love. Devoutly, with great sweetness, with natural simplicity, without any affectation, offer your praise to God with the whole of your heart and soul.

 


Meditations by Padre Pio - Let us keep well in mind what the Divine Master said: in our patience we will possess our souls.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Hints for humility!


"Here is a psychological suggestion for acquiring peace of soul. Never brag; never talk about yourself; never rush to first seats at table or in a theater; never use people for your own advantage; never lord it over others as if you were better than they. These are but popular ways of expressing the virtue of humility, which does consist so much in humbling ourselves before others as it does in recognizing our own littleness in comparison to what we ought to be."


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


November 19. After Communion today, Jesus told me how much He desires to come to human hearts. I desire to unite Myself with human souls; My great delight is to unite Myself with souls. Know, My daughter, that when I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul.


But souls do not even pay any attention to Me; they leave Me to Myself and busy themselves with other things. Oh, how sad I am that souls do not recognize Love! They treat Me as a dead object. I answered Jesus, "O Treasure of my heart, the only object of my love and entire delight of my soul, I want to adore You in my heart as You are adored on the throne of Your eternal glory.


My love wants to make up to You at least in part for the coldness of so great a number of souls. Jesus, behold my heart which is for You a dwelling place to which no one else has entry. You alone repose in it as in a beautiful garden. (1385)


All the good that is in me is due to Holy Communion. I owe everything to it. I feel that this holy fire has transformed me completely. Oh, how happy I am to be a dwelling place for You, O Lord! My heart is a temple in which You dwell continually... (1392)


“Occupy your minds with good thoughts, or the enemy will fill them with bad ones. Unoccupied, they cannot be. -St. Thomas More”

 


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


Oct 25 - DISCOVER ME IN THE POOR


Our Lady advises Jelena's prayer group :


Continue to help the poor and the sick, and to pray for the dead. Do not have any fear. Completely free yourselves and abandon your hearts to me so that I can be with you. Listen to me and discover me in the poor and in all people (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 31, 1984).


And in the gospel, Jesus says :


Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you (Mt 5 :42).


Reflection:


The Jewish Talmud says, " He who gives alms is greater than Moses. " But money was not the only kind of alms people gave to the needy. The Talmud also says, "


Whoever gives a small coin to a poor person will receive six blessings, but whoever gives a kind word to a poor person will receive eleven blessings. " Even if we can't always give money , we can give much more : forgiveness to our enemies, kindness to the elderly, example to the young, and love to all.

 


Application: How generous are we in our giving? The following prayer is a Prayer for Generosity :


Father of the poor and needy, teach us to understand that generosity consists not only in providing material help but in every act of helpfulness toward those who stand in need of it, and that every human being stands in need of friendliness, sympathy, and understanding.


Teach us to know that in the measure in which we give we also receive, that every worthy thing we do brings its own reward, and that in seeking any other kind of reward we spoil the grace of what we do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.


Message to Eillen Renders Oct. 25, 2009


Sunday, October 25, 2009


Jesus Tells Us How To Follow Him

 


“ …Then I prayed; Speak Lord (if it be His will of course), Your servant listens. Jesus responded to my heart saying: My child Eileen, All that needs to be said has already been said. Now is the time to read My word, spread My word and live by the word. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen. “

 


SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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

For the coming plagues and illnesses:


FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )


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


Dear friends and family,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN


PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.


September 18, 2009


Public


Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."


"You will make this known."


* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


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


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


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

TO POST 24 OCT 2009


Our Lord Jesus on the topic of spiritual warfare


1. My daughter, I want to teach you about spiritual warfare. Never trust in yourself, but abandon yourself totally to My will. In desolation, darkness and various doubts, have recourse to Me
2. Do not bargain with any temptation; lock yourself immediately in My Heart
3. Put your self-love in the last place, so that it does not taint your deeds.
4. Bear with yourself with great patience.
5. Do not neglect interior mortifications.
6. Shun murmurers like a plague.
7. Let all act as they like; you are to act as I want you to.
8. If someone causes you trouble, think what good you can do for the person who caused you to suffer. Do not pour out your feelings.
9. Be silent when you are rebuked.
10. Do not ask everyone’s opinion, but only the opinion of your confessor; be as frank and simple as a child with him.
11. Do not become discouraged by ingratitude.
12. Do not examine with curiosity the roads down which I lead you.
13. When boredom and discouragement beat against your heart, run away from yourself and hide in My heart.
14. Do not fear struggle; courage itself often intimidates temptations, and they dare not attack us.
15. Always fight with the deep conviction that I am with you.
16. Do not be guided by feeling, because it is not always under your control; but all merit lies in the will.
17. I will not delude you with prospects of peace and consolations; on the contrary, prepare for great battles.
18. Know that you are now on a great stage where all Heaven and Earth are watching you.
19. Fight like a knight, so that I can reward you.
20. Do not be unduly fearful, because you are not alone.


¬The Lord Jesus to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, Divine Mercy in My Soul, n. 1760

Message to Sharon Fitzpatrick Oct.21,2009 PRAYER GROUP ROSARY - WEDNESDAYS, 7:00 P.M. - SUNDAYS, 3:00 P.M. OUR LADY OF LOURDES GROTTO (BEHIND HOSPITAL) PANA, IL


MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN SHARON FITZPATRICK - LOCUTIONIST


WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2009


MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


HOW PLEASED I AM THAT YOU PRAY WITH SUCH LOVE AND DEDICATION. YOUR COMMITMENT TO GOD HAS SEALED FOR YOU A PROMISE AND YOU WILL ENJOY ITS FRUITS FOREVER.


AS WE COME TOGETHER IN PRAYER I LOOK DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEARTS AND I GATHER ALL YOU CARRY THERE. I DO NOT HESITATE TO TAKE ALL THIS AND PLACE THESE THINGS BEFORE THE FATHER. YOU CARRY MUCH BURDEN, YOU ALSO HAVE MUCH JOY. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SOME ARE TAKEN AND OTHERS STAY. IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT YOU ALWAYS UNDERSTAND GOD?S WILL, IT IS ONLY NECESSARY THAT YOU ACCEPT IT, KNOWING THAT GOD HAS TREMENDOUS LOVE FOR YOU AND EACH ONE HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HIS HEART.


YOU GROW WEARY AND REST IS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR YOU, YET HERE AT THIS PLACE OF GRACE YOU ARE TAKEN INTO THE PEACE OF JESUS. THE WORLD CONTINUES ITS CHAOTIC PACE, AS YOU STEP FROM THE WORLD INTO MY HEART. YOU RECEIVE MUCH MUCH GRACE AND FROM THIS GRACE YOU ARE GUIDED INTO THE HOLY WILL OF GOD.


YOU HAVE GAINED THE PROTECTION OF ALL OF HEAVEN. THIS IS MUCH NEEDED THAT YOU PROCEED IN GOD?S WILL, BECOMING VICTORIOUS ALL FOR HIS GLORY. BE AWARE OF THE EVIL DEEDS THAT CONSUME THE WORLD, BUT BE YOURSELVES CONSUMED BY THE LOVE AND MERCY OF JESUS. PRAY AND TRUST - PRAY AND TRUST.


ON THIS NIGHT I GIVE TO YOU MY EMBRACE. THE BLESSING OF CHRIST SHALL COME TO YOU FROM THE HEARTS OF MY PRIEST-SONS. KNOW ALL IS DONE FOR YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. GIVE PRAISE TO GOD, THANK HIM, AND DO THIS NOW AND FOREVER.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 23 - I WANTED TO ROUSE THE FAITH


"Contemplation of the Eucharist must urge all members of the Church, in the first place the priests, ministers of the Eucharist, to revive their commitment of faith. The celibacy that the priests received as a precious gift and the sign of the undivided love toward God and the neighbor is founded upon the Eucharistic mystery, celebrated and adored. Eucharistic spirituality must also be the interior motor of any activity for the lay persons, and no dichotomy is admissible between


faith and life in their mission of spreading the spirit of Christianity in the world" (Pope Benedict XVI, Homily for the close of the Eucharistic Year, Oct. 23, 2005).


"What can I desire besides this consecrated Host? In all heaven and earth, what is there apart from You that can satisfy me? O sweetness, O beauty, O power of love!" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God

 


Mother Teresa - You need only ask at night before you go to bed, " What did I do to Jesus today? " " What did I do for Jesus today? " " What did I do with Jesus today? " You have only to look at your hands.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Anxiety is one of the greatest traitors that real virtue and solid devotion can ever have. It pretends to warm us to do good works, but doesn't and we grow cold; it makes us run only to make us trip. One must be careful of this on all occasions particularly at prayer.


And to better succeed it would be well to remember that graces and the consolations of prayer are not waters of this earth, but of Heaven, and that therefore all our efforts are not sufficient to make them fall, even though it is necessary to prepare oneself with great diligence, but always humbly and tranquilly; one must keep one's heart turned to Heaven and wait from there the Heavenly dew.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Making truth personal through solitude with God


"Only in solitariness is true spirituality born, when the soul stands naked before its God. In that moment these are the only two realities in the universe. In this discovery is born love of neighbor, for then we love our fellow human beings, not because of what they can do for us, but because we see that they too are real or potential children of God. Though truth is not personal, we make it personal by contemplation."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - During Holy Mass, I saw the Lord Jesus nailed upon the cross amidst great torments. A soft moan issued from His Heart. After some time, He said, I thirst. I thirst for the salvation of souls. Help Me, My daughter, to save souls. Join your sufferings to My Passion and offer them to the heavenly Father for sinners. (1032)


Monday of Holy Week. I asked the Lord to let me take part in His Sorrowful Passion that I might experience in soul and body, to the extent that this is possible for a creature, His bitter Passion. I asked to experience all the bitterness, insofar as this was possible. And the Lord answered that He would give me this grace, and that on Thursday, after Holy Communion, He would grant this in a special way. (1034)


I find myself so weak that were it not for Holy Communion I would fall continually. One thing alone sustains me, and that is Holy Communion. From it I draw my strength; in it is all my comfort. I fear life on days when I do not receive Holy Communion. I fear my own self. Jesus concealed in the Host is everything to me. From the tabernacle I draw strength, power, courage, and light. Here, I seek consolation in time of anguish. I would not know how to give glory to God if I did not have the Eucharist in my heart. (1037)


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.


Oct 23 - I WANTED TO ROUSE THE FAITH


During this apparition on a Monday, Marija asks the Gospa why she failed to give her regular weekly message :


I do not wish to force anyone to do what they neither feel or desire, even though I had a special message for the parish in which I wanted to rouse the faith of each believer. But truly, only a small number have accepted my Thursday messages, when in the beginning there were many. It's become a routine affair for them. And lately some are asking for the message only our of curiosity, and not out of faith and devotion to my Son and me (Special Message April 30, 1984).


Also concerned that the people persevere in their faith, Christ said :


Be faithful until death, I will give you the crown of life (Rev 2 :10).


Reflection:


A missionary named Noreen Towers had worked for years among the poor in Nigeria. In spite of all her efforts, she saw absolutely no progress. She says : " I became despondent. I finally reached the breaking point one night … I was beaten. When I went to bed, I didn't know how I could continue.


The next morning, shortly after she awoke, something strange happened to Noreen. It was as though Jesus said to her, " Can you not trust my plan for you? " She writes :


Then I realized that I did not have to see the plan; I only had to trust him. I arose form my bed a different person. My encounter with the living Christ changed me from a broken, defeated person into a person with unshakable hope and faith.


Today, the woman's work among the poor is bearing remarkable fruit.


Like all the virtues, perseverance is a gift of grace, yet Christ never fails to bestow it on those who ask.


This is the primary challenge to rely not on our own strength and endurance, but on the Lord's. It was summarized once in a small prayer : " O Lord, I can't. You can. Please. "

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 24 - YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED


"The Rosary does not run counter to meditation on the Word of God and to liturgical prayer, rather it represents their natural and ideal complement, especially as a form of preparation and thanksgiving for Eucharistic celebration. Christ, encountered in the Gospel and the Sacrament, is also contemplated with Mary in the various monuments of His life, thanks to the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries" (Pope Benedict XVI, Oct. 16, 2005).


"Deliverance [from the present crisis in the Church] will come about through a twin devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and Mary, Help of Christians" (Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).


Mother Teresa - Prayer is the breath of life to our soul; holiness is impossible without it. Padre Pio - Why should you worry if Jesus wants to make you reach the heavenly homeland through deserts or fields, when we get to blessed eternity anyway either by one or the other? Cast aside all excessive preoccupations that derive from the trials the good God sends you; and if this is not possible, do not think about it and be resigned in everything to the Divine Will. Archbishop Fulton Sheen - True passion takes guts and courage


"To revive passion in hearts, one must first understand it. Passion signifies receiving or suffering something or submitting to something. From this, follow two indispensable conditions for passion: knowledge, and some organic or physical change in our sensible nature."

 


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Most sweet Jesus, set on fire my love for You and transform me into Yourself. Divinize me that my deeds may be pleasing to You. May this be accomplished by the power of the Holy Communion which I receive daily. Oh, how greatly I desire to be wholly transformed into You, O Lord! (1289)


When I received Holy Communion, I said to Him, "Jesus, I thought about You so many times last night," and Jesus answered me, And I thought of you before I called you into being. "Jesus, in what way were You thinking about me?" In terms of admitting you to My eternal happiness. After these words, my soul was flooded with the love of God. I could not stop marveling at how much God loves us. (1292)

Oct 24 - YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED


Regarding preparation for prayer, Our Lady once said :


You have to be prepared. If there are some sins, you must pull them out, otherwise you will not be able to enter into prayer. If you have worries, you should submit them to God (First Years March 1085).


And in John's gospel, Christ promises to answer all prayers :


I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask for anything, I will do it (Jan 14 :13-14).


Reflection: If our prayer is to be attentive and from the heart, we must prepare for this encounter with the Lord, as Our Lady asks of us today. This would include a place of quiet, a relaxed position, and a few deep breaths.


Sins and worries should be given over to God so that the mind is untroubled. Last, a prayer of preparation would be appropriate, such as the following Dedication of a Prayer Time :


Gracious and beloved Lord,
At the beginning of this time of prayer,
I lift up to you
My heart overflowing with gratitude
For the many gifts and blessings
That you have given me.
I dedicate this time of worship and prayer,
And the graceful energy that shall flow
Outward from the altar of my heart
As an offering for the welfare of all your children.
May your Holy Spirit take me by the hand
And lead me deep into the center of my heart,
Into your Holy of Holies. Amen.


Application:


Simply use this prayer of preparation, or one of your own, before your next prayer time. Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 20 - PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT


"Souls . . . leave me alone by night, alone by day, in the churches. They no longer care about the Sacrament of the Altar. Hardly anyone ever speaks of this Sacrament of Love. Even those who do speak, alas, do so with great indifference and coldness. My heart is forgotten" (Words of Jesus to St. Padre Pio).


Mother Teresa - Believe in Jesus trust in Him with blind and absolute confidence because He is Jesus. Believe that Jesus and Jesus alone is life and sanctity is nothing but that same Jesus intimately living in you; then His hand will be free with you.


Meditations by Padre Pio - All of us are not called by God to save souls and propagate His glory by the noble apostolate of preaching? (but) one can promote God's glory and work for the salvation of souls by means of a truly Christian life, by praying without ceasing that "His Kingdom come?" that "we may not be led into temptation" and that "He deliver us from evil." This is what you ought to do offering yourself continually to the Lord for this purpose.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Whatever you do, you do it to Christ!


" On the Last Day, Our Blessed Lord said that He will judge us by our attitude to hospitality: `When did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not care for You?' (Matthew 25: 44). Hospitality, therefore, not only has the duties of which we are aware, but also the more terrible awareness that it is Christ Who is the Stranger.


In all our dealings, we are dealing with the Lord Himself, though we know it not. Maybe if we could see our wars aright, in between two trenches of the enemies, or between a plane in the sky and the target beneath, there is Christ's Body being shot full of holes. What men do to one another, they do to Him, whether the act be of kindness or bitterness. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - February 15, 1937. Today, I heard these words in my soul: Host pleasing to My Father, know, My daughter, that the entire Holy Trinity finds Its special delight in you, because you live exclusively by the will of God. No sacrifice can compare with this. (955)


After these words, the knowledge of God's will came to me; that is to say, I now see everything from a higher point of view and accept all events and things, pleasant and unpleasant, with love, as tokens of the heavenly Father's special affection. (956)


The pure offering of my will, will burn on the altar of love. That my sacrifice may be perfect, I unite myself closely with the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. When great sufferings will cause my nature to tremble, and my physical and spiritual strength will diminish, then will I hide myself deep in the open wound of the Heart of Jesus, silent as a dove, without complaint.


Let all my desires, even the holiest, noblest and most beautiful, take always the last place and Your holy will, the very first. The least of Your desires, O Lord, is more precious to me than heaven, with all its treasures. I know very well that people will not understand me; that is why my sacrifice will be purer in Your eyes. (957)

Oct 20 - PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT


Our Lady speaks today of the Holy Spirit:


The important thing is to pray to the Holy Spirit that he may descend upon you. When you have him, you have everything. (FY 10-21-83


In John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of the Holy Spirit:


And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you (John 14:16-17).


Reflection:


"Pray to the Holy Spirit," the Blessed Mother tells us today; and Jesus assures us that the Spirit" abides with you and is in you."


Let us then use this time to pray to the Spirit, using St. Augustine's Prayer for the Indwelling of the Spirit:


Holy Spirit, powerful Consoler, sacred Bond of the Father and the Son, Hope of the afflicted, descend into my heart and establish in it your loving dominion. Enkindle in my tepid soul the fire of your Love so that I may be wholly subject to you.


We believe that when you dwell in us, you also prepare a dwelling for the Father and the Son. Deign, therefore, to come to me, Consoler of abandoned souls, and Protector of the needy. Help the afflicted, strengthen the weak, and support the wavering.


Come and purify me. let no evil desire take possession of me. You love the humble and resist the proud. Come to me, glory of the living, and hope of the dying. Lead me by your grace that I may always be pleasing to you.


Application:


Continue to use this prayer throughout the week to deepen your devotion to the Spirit of God

“THE DOOR OF GOD'S JUSTICE IS OPEN WIDE. THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP IT.” POWERFUL DREAMVISION GIVEN to Louise October 21, 2009


October 21, 2009 DREAMVISION via L.


Jesus speaks: ( L. after I am awake now after dreamvision has occurred) (Testing the spirits)


"Write what you have seen My child! Do not dramatize, delete or add anything. The dream vision concerns the world not just your country."


Jesus speaks while I (L. am sleeping and dreamvision is taking place) " You are with many people when the vision began and you fell on your face on the beach. (slain in the Holy Spirit)


Evil people have planted land mines on the beaches without being killed or blown to the skies. The safety of all countries particularly the country I showed you. "


I (L.) took this to mean U.S.A. for the people are all Americans in my dreamvision. I called for My helpmate which was (mk) and she came and was present on the beach. The people around me (LST) were in awe of what they saw in my actions. (again it was as though I was slain in the spirit. I was now laying face down on the beach and the vision again continued.


The land mines began to fire simultaneously. The sky was battleship gray- - -the homes nearby almost obliterated. Yet you could see homes but NO people excepting the ones who were with me on the beach. I saw a huge frame house that had wooden shingles on it and it was gray trimmed in yellow and there were many houses in the background.


Jesus:


"All this will be and it will be soon.


It will be a ring of fire circling every country. There will be no way to enter and no way to leave. You will be trapped in the ring of fire. Nothing...no one will escape the evil one's (satan) plan to destruct. All...everything will be destroyed by the fire."


With this I woke up (from my sleeping) and looked around and then went promptly back into my sleeping and my dream vision continued where it left off.


Again I had a sense of utter destruction. There was an eerie quiet about it as the people on the beach that were with me were again awestruck. I again I awake out of the dream vision trembling. ( this vision was very frightening to experience)


Then I (Louise) heard again Jesus saying later while I am awake now explaining the symbolism of the dream vision.


(Testing the spirits again)


Jesus:


"The gray house with creamy yellow trim stands like a sentinel while the cream trim is a beacon in the darkness. I am the 'Light in the Darkness.' I am your Refuge.' Look to Me. Come to Me. The darkness which covers the earth IS sin and it is thick, dense.


The houses in the background are My people seeking shelter. The land mines are the various devices used by evil men to put fear into the hearts of My people, to rid the world of believers. ( in Me) The kind of sins are as innumerable as the sands on the beach. The sun cannot give its light through the darkness (clou

"I want you to pray for these men"


Dear Friends,


Previous Relations with the Thessalonians


For you yourselves know, brothers, that our reception among you was not without effect. Rather, after we had suffered and been insolently treated, as you know in Philippi, we drew courage through our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much struggle. Our exhortation was not from delusion or impure motives, nor did it work through deception. But as we were judged worthy by God to be entrusted with the gospel, that is how we speak, not as trying to please human beings, but rather God, who judges our hearts.


Nor, indeed, did we ever appear with flattering speech, as you know, or with a pretext for greed God is witness nor did we seek praise from human beings, either from you or from others, although we were able to impose our weight as apostles of Christ. Rather, we were gentle among you, as a nursing mother cares for her children. With such affection for you, we were determined to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our very selves as well, so dearly beloved had you become to us.


You recall, brothers, our toil and drudgery. Working night and day in order not to burden any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers. ...We treated each one of you as a father treats his children... 1 Thessalonians 2:1-11


I give you below the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,


I chose twelve men to be Apostles and all of them worked very well except one who betrayed Me. Another great Apostle was St. Paul whom I chose sometime after My resurrection. All the Apostles except Saint John were martyred for the faith. They are all with Me now in heaven.


The Bishops and the priests are the successors of the Apostles. I want you all to pray for these men who are following in the footsteps of My Apostles. Some of them have fallen away because of sin but most of them are working very well.


Pray that they have an intimate relationship with Me and come to prayer every day. I want them all to teach the true doctrine, which I gave My Church when I was on earth. May they preach the whole doctrine for they are not to pick and choose what they like but preach every aspect of the doctrine. I bless all those who pray for their Bishops and priests.

"Remain united to Me"


Dear Friends,


Prayer and Apostolic Spirit


Persevere in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving; at the same time, pray for us, too, that God may open a door to us for the word, to speak of the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, that I may make it clear, as I must speak.


Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you should respond to each one. ... Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions; if he comes to you, receive him), and Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision; these alone are my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. Colossians 4:2-6, 10-11


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


Prayer is very important in the life of a Christian. All those who believe in Me are called to prayer, to adoration and to ask the Father for all you need. A prayer that is dear to Me is contemplative prayer.


This is a heart to heart prayer with Me, your Savior. I wish that all Christians would spend time in contemplative prayer every day, and in this way you will come to know Me intimately. You will truly become My friend. You know that I live in your heart if you follow Me, so, come and visit Me there and repeat My name.


This is the prayer for today for all those who are so busy running around and always in a hurry. You need to quiet down and be at rest and this is what contemplative prayer does to you. In this peaceful gaze, I will fill you with My love, My peace and My joy. You will receive from Me all the graces you need to do good and avoid evil. I will also give you an increase of faith, hope and love, these wonderful gifts that come from Me. Remain united to Me every day and you will be blessed.

MY DEAR DEAR CHILDREN


WHAT CAN I SAY? YOU MUST THINK I SOUND LIKE AS YOU SAY ON EARTH A BROKEN RECORD. AS I CONTINUE TO SPEAK ABOUT DISASTERS, THESE ARE NOT THINGS THAT YOU CAN TAKE SO LIGHTLY.


I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR … IF YOU WANT ME TO SAY: YOU LOOK LOVELY TODAY OR DID YOU HAVE YOUR HAIR DONE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, THEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW SERIOUS THINGS ARE.


YOU KNOW I ONLY SPEAK THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH IS ALL THE DISASTERS THAT HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. THESE ARE NOT HAPPY TIMES THESE ARE VERY, VERY SAD TIMES.


MAYBE A DISASTER SHOULD OCCUR IN YOUR TOWN … OR SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY. THEN YOU WILL KNOW A DISASTER. BUT MAYBE OTHER PEOPLE WOULD NOT THINK YOU HAD A DISASTER. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?


THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN CONTINUE, AND UNFORTUNATELY …FIRST HE’S GOING TO SEND OVER 14,000 MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN, AND NOW HE’S LOOKING AND SAYING HOW HE PLANS TO WITH DRAW THE TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN SOON. WHICH ONE DO YOU BELIEVE?


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN


PLEASE PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT THE XVI AS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ABOUT IT YOU WILL SOON. THAT HE IS OPENING THE CHURCH TO ACCEPT ANGLICAN PRIESTS AND PARISHIONERS INTO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. PEOPLE MAY THINK THAT THIS IS WRONG BUT IF IT IS DONE IN THE RIGHT WAY … EVERYTHING WOULD BE SO NORMAL.


THEY HAVE A FEW ISSUES THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS TO WORRY ABOUT THEY WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR OWN PRIESTS AS YOU SEE THE ANGLICAN PRIESTS THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE MARRIED AND IF THEY CONVERT THEY WILL STILL BE A CATHOLIC PRIEST BUT ALSO THEY WILL BE MARRIED AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE VERY, VERY DISTURBING… TO THE CATHOLICS.


ONCE AGAIN I ASK YOU TO PLEASE PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT THE XVI … THAT ON THIS MISSION THAT HE IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH, THAT HIS OWN PRIESTS DO NOT TURN ON HIM.


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN


PLEASE DO REMEMBER THAT I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH … AND YOU ARE ALL PROTECTED UNDER MY MANTLE AND I ALSO PRAY FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE. I ASK YOU ALWAYS HAVE TRUST AND FAITH IN MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH

Thursday Adoration, October 22, 2009


Jesus Desires To Be An Everyday Priority In Our Lives


Today I spent time alone with Jesus in adoration thanking Him for His many blessings bestowed upon my family and myself and prayed for those with special needs and intentions. Then I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and asked Jesus to turn off all exterior distraction so that I might only hear what comes from His heart to mine.


On my knees I prayed Speak Lord, Your servant listens. Jesus responded to my prayer saying: My sweet child Eileen, you have kept your promise to remain in Me and keep My Commandments. Therefore, I remain in you and guide your footsteps.


It is My desire for all My children to keep Me as a priority in their days so that I can remain in them and they in Me. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.


Note: In my heart I distinctly believe that Jesus' message clearly makes reference to the fact that while many Catholics continue to go to Mass on Sunday, they are lax about the commandments and often can be heard saying: It's the Twentieth Century or They couldn't get married in the church, their marriage was not annulled. Morals and values are watered down for each new generation, making the Commandments something that God made, yet are being changed by man with excuses!

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


YOU GATHER IN PRAYER AND MAKE WAY FOR THE CHILL AND DAMPNESS OF THE NIGHT. I UNDERSTAND YOUR PLIGHT AS YOU CONSIDER YOUR ADVANCEMENT IN AGE AND THE ACHES OF THE BODY THAT CONSUME YOU. BUT THIS IS THE TIME THAT YOU MUST REMAIN ALERT.


ILL WINDS BLOW AGAINST YOU. THE CHURCH ESPECIALLY SHALL BE ATTACKED AND YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE THE STRENGTH PLACED ACCORDINGLY. THE POPE KNOWS OF THIS PLIGHT AND GRIEVES.


THE HOLY MEN OF THE CHURCH SHALL GO AGAINST MANY LIES AND DECEIT, BUT THE TRUTH SHALL STRIKE DOWN THE LIES AND THOSE WHO PLOT DECEIT SHALL FAIL, BUT THE ATTACKS WILL BE SHATTERING AND SO IT IS THAT YOU, THE SIMPLE, THE INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE ONES WILL GO AGAINST THIS EVIL AND EMERGE VICTORIOUS.


SO TOO IS THE WORLD HEADED FOR DEVASTATION. MUCH COULD BE ALLEVIATED, IF MAN WOULD COME INTO PRAYER AND DEFEND THE TRUTH. ONCE MORE YOU WILL BE INSTRUMENTAL IN VICTORY. MY SON SHALL BRING HOPE AND HE SHALL BRING MANKIND INTO HIS LOVE AND MERCY.


BE ALERT. LISTEN CAREFULLY. PRAY WITH CONFIDENCE AND DO NOT FEAR, NOT EVEN IN THE DARKEST HOUR. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE LIGHT, SO PLACE YOUR TRUST IN GOD, IN THE TRUTH AND PRAY, PRAY, PRAY.


BECAUSE YOU GIVE SO MUCH AND REMAIN SO COMMITTED, I GIVE TO EACH OF YOU A SPECIAL BLESSING. I TOUCH EACH HEART TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT YOU HOLD THERE AND I DO THIS IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. BE EVER PATIENT AS GOD IS PATIENT WITH YOU.


THE BLESSING OF CHRIST FALLS GENTLY UPON YOU AND IS GIVEN TO YOU FROM THE HEARTS OF MY PRIEST-SONS. RECEIVE ALL THIS WITH GENEROUS HEARTS, PRAISING AND THANKING GOD FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER.

Messages of Our Lady of Sorrows in Kibeho, Rwanda


To avoid a horrible war


Conversion, prayer, penance, fasting


Messages of Our Lady of Sorrows in Kibeho, Rwanda These Apparitions have been officially recognized by the Church in 2001 In Kibeho, Our Lady had precited, in 1984, the horrible war of 1994 O Holy Mary, You alone have found Infinite Wisdom in the Word Incarnate by Thérèse Tardif


I am writing these lines on September 15, 2001, the feast of Our lady of Sorrows. I am deeply moved to write this article on the Apparitions of Kibeho today. Since last June, when these Apparitions were officially recognized by the Church, I had the intention of informing the readers of Michael about them. It is only today that I got together all of the documents that allow me to write about them in detail.


Our Lady probably wanted to impregnate us with the spirit of the feast of Her Sorrows, so that Her Message would be better understood. She also wanted that the sad events that took place in the United States make us understand better the reason for Her tears, so that we may be more attentive and obedient to Her requests. May this article help to convert a multitude of souls, for the consolation of the Mother of the Word, our Holy Mother of Sorrows. This is our wish!


The Michael Journal first reported about the Apparitions of Our lady in Kibeho in Rwanda, Africa, in its January-February, 1988 issue. These Apparitions have just been officially recognized by the Church. The news was reported in the July 11, 2001 issue of the Vatican weekly L'Osservatore Romano. The Apparitions of the Mother of the Word began in November, 1981, and took place until 1989. These Messages of Our Lady in Kibeho concern the whole world.


Declaration of the Bishop of Gikongoro (excerpts)


On July 2, 2001, the Holy See released the declaration of Bishop Augustin Misago of Gikongoro, on the Apparitions that took place in 1982-83 in Kibeho. Here are some excerpts:


Two study commissions, one of doctors and one of theologians, were immediately set up by the local Bishop; they have been at work since April 1982... The advanced state of the study commissions' work now offers sufficient elements to allow competent ecclesiastical authorities to pronounce definitively on this question.


As a result, Bishop Augustin Misago of Gikongoro, who represents this authority, has published his declaration concerning the definitive judgement on the Apparitions of Kibeho, Rwanda. This important event in the history of the Diocese of Gikongoro, as in the life of the Church in Rwanda, took place on 29 June 2001, on the solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, during a solemn Mass concelebrated in the cathedral of Gikongoro. All the Catholic bishops of Rwanda, with the Apostolic Nuncio of Kigali, were present...


The Bishop declared: Yes, the Virgin Mary appeared at Kibeho on November 28, 1981, and in the months that followed. There are more reasons to believe in the Apparitions than to deny them... The Apparitions of Kibeho are now officially recognized... The name given to the Marian sanctuary at Kibeho is "Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows". That Kibeho become a place of pilgrimage and of encounter for all who seek Christ and who come there to pray, a fundamental centre of conversion, of reparation for the sins of the world and of reconciliation, a point of meeting for all who were dispersed, as for those who aspire to the values of compassion and fraternity without borders, a fundamental centre that recalls the Gospel of the Cross.


This Declaration makes it possible to respond to the expectations of the People of God and to bring new enthusiasm to the public devotion recognized already for 13 years. (Taken from L'Osservatore Romano?, weekly edition in English, July 11, 2001, page 8.) In 1988, without officially approving of the Apparitions, Bishop Jean Baptiste Gahamanyi, of the Diocese of Butare, of which Kibeho was a part at that time, authorized public devotion at the site of the Apparitions. Today, Kinbeho is part of the Diocese of Gikongoro, led by Bishop Augustin Misago.


Rwanda in 1980


Vandalism was rampant all over the country from 1980 to 1981. Almost all of the statues of the Virgin Mary that were at the entrance of villages were mutilated, destroyed, or stolen. This was a sad time when Mary was almost forgotten, and barely prayed to. Even several priests did not pray the Rosary any more, influenced by the propaganda of false theologians who would like to make us believe that this devotion is out of date. Catholics are humiliated; the clergy begins to give up.


It is in this time of discouragement that Mary chose to visit Rwanda.. From 1981 to 1989, this country heard of the Virgin Mary as never before. Kibeho is located in the south of the country, the poorest area of Rwanda. The presence, in this place, of two dynamic priests made the population fervent.


The school of the Apparitions


At the start of the new school year in 1981, there were 120 students, divided into three classes. Three nuns are directing the school. The other teachers one woman and five men are lay people. They are all Rwandans. Two are Protestant, the others are Catholic. The majority of the students are Catholic, but there are also 17 Protestant and 2 Moslem students. Morals are far from being exemplary.


The first Apparition


Alphonsine Mumureke, happy to see the Mother of the Saviour


Alphonsine Mumreke, the first seer of Kibeho, is 17 years old, and is in her first year at the secondary school of Kibeho. She is very pious, and has always shown a great love for the Blessed Virgin. She also likes to attend Holy Mass. Here is how she relates the first Apparition:


It took place on Saturday, November 28, 1981, at 12:35 p.m. I was in the dining room of the school, serving my classmates. All of a sudden, I heard a voice calling me.


Mary: My daughter.


Alphonsine: Here I am.


I went to the corridor, and saw a very beautiful woman. I knelt down, made the Sign of the Cross, and asked: Who are you?


Mary: Ndi Nyina Wa Jambo (in the local language, I am the Mother of the Word). In the religion, what do you prefer?


Alphonsine: I love God and His Mother, who gave us the Child who redeemed us.


Mary: If it is so, I have come to calm you, because I have heard your prayers. I would like your friends to have Faith, because they do not believe strongly enough.


Alphonsine: Mother of the Saviour, if it is really You who has come to tell us that here, in this school, we have little Faith, You do love us. I am really filled with joy that You appear to me.


Alphonsine relates: The Virgin was not white as She is usually seen in holy pictures. I could not determine the color of Her skin, but She was of incomparable beauty. She was barefoot and had a seamless white dress, and also a white veil on Her head. Her hands were clasped together on Her breast, and Her fingers pointed to the sky. Later, I was told that I was in the dining room. My classmates told me that I was speaking in several languages: French, English, Kinyarwanda, etc.


When the Blessed Virgin was about to leave, I said three Hail Marys' and the prayer, Come, Holy Spirit. When She left, I saw Her rise to Heaven like Jesus.


At the end of the Apparition, the seer remained motionless for a quarter of an hour, as if she was paralyzed, and all the efforts to get her out of ecstasy were in vain. Neither the teachers nor the nuns gave credence to what Alphonsine said. They rather spoke of illness instead of apparitions.


The phenomenon took place again the next day, on November 29. In December, the Apparitions took place almost every Saturday. Excited by their curiosity, the students and the teachers test the reality of the ecstasies. They burn Alphonsine with a match, or prick her with a pin, but the seer has no reactions.


Alphonsine suffered a lot during this period of subtle persecution. They mocked her: Here comes the seer! During the May 8, 1982 Apparition, Alphonsine complained to the Virgin Mary: People say that we are crazy. This day, her mother was present for the first time.


Many signs are given by Heaven to bring the students and the teachers to believe in the authenticity of the Apparitions.


The students who had rosaries brought them to have them blessed by the Blessed Virgin. They were all mixed up together, so it was impossible for Alphonsine to know their owners. Alphonsine took the rosaries and offered them to the Blessed Virgin. Some rosaries became too heavy, and the seer could not lift them and ask for the blessing. One then noticed that the heavy Rosary in question belonged to a student who did not believe in the authenticity of the Apparitions, and who criticized them.


There was also, in the dormitory, the Apparition of a star and of sparkling lights that all could see.


If the first Apparition took place in the dining room, during the day, the following Apparitions took place in the evening, in the dormitory, in the room of the seer. The Virgin Mary often told the seer about the date of Her next Apparition.


In Rwanda, news goes fast. People rush up to be present at the time of the Apparitions. Upon the request of the Bishop, the seer spoke about it to the Director of the school. The next meetings will take place outdoors, in the schoolyard. Some Apparitions will continue to take place in the dormitory private Apparitions that concern only the seer and the students.


Anathalie presents rosaries to be blessed by Mary.


Mary will progressively make Herself known to the students, and win them over. She gives advice, encourages, makes remarks to bring them on the right path. She is really the Mother who, in Her motherly love, educates Her children. Our Lady really became the Queen of this school. She should be the Queen of all schools!


One knows that the present situation in schools worldwide is awful, because God has been chased out, because His law is no longer taught.. It is even forbidden to pray to Him in schools! Every morning, when we go to Mass, our heart breaks when we see school buses arriving to school, loaded with children.


Poor little ones, who are taught that God does not exist! Mary came to Kibeho in a school, to set the example to the whole world, and to show how students can be transformed when God's law is taught in schools.


Because of the strong opposition that the first Apparitions had caused, some teachers and students had said: ?We will believe in the coming in our school of Mary, the Mother of God, only if She appears to others besides Alphonsine. The seer replied to them: Pray yourselves to obtain this favor.


Two other seers


On January 12, 1982, Our Lady grants the prayers of the students, and also appears to a young girl, Anathalie Mukamazimpaka, and will appear to her until December 3, 1983.


Marie Claire Mukangango presents the Rosary of Seven Sorrows. She was killed during the war in 1994.


And on March 2, 1982, to the surprise of all, Our Lady appears to Marie Claire Mukangango. It is like a bomb in the school, for Marie Claire was one of those who had showed her unbelief the most. Her Christian life was nothing special, and was even far from being exemplary! She called Alphonsine a fool. And now, it is her turn to be seized by a mysterious power.


The Virgin Mary chose her to spread Her message, and from now on, Marie Claire keeps saying: One must meditate on the Passion of Jesus, and on the deep sorrows of His Mother. One must recite the Rosary every day, and also the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, to obtain the favour of repentance. Marie Claire will have Apparitions until September 15, 1982.


The blessing of water


In January and February, 1982, diabolical phenomena take place in the dormitory. To cast away these unknown forces, the nuns use Lourdes' water, which has a soothing effect, but soon there is no more water left. So Anathalie is asked to have some water blessed by the Virgin Mary during the Apparitions. This was on March 2, 1982. Thus started, at Kibeho, the habit of having water blessed by the Virgin Mary before the Apparition.


There are now three seers at Kibeho, all from the college. The three of them are now recognized by the Church: Alphonsine, Anathalie, and Marie Claire.


Other Apparition sites


The Apparitions of Mary, that followed the first one to Alphonsine, take place in the dormitory until January 16, 1982, and from that date, either in the schoolyard, for public Apparitions, or in the dormitory of the students, or in a place converted into a chapel. It is there that the students come to pray in the evening, and it will be the moment favored by the Blessed Virgin to visit one of the seers of the school.


The students are present during the Apparition, and often the talks with the Virgin are about school life. These Apparitions are considered private, and the public is not allowed.


However, all can attend the Apparitions in the schoolyard. There is a conversation between the seer and the Apparition. All can hear and record the words of the seer, but they obviously cannot hear the words of the Virgin Mary. Very soon, the crowds become larger, especially in May, 1982, the month dedicated to Mary.


A podium and powerful speakers are installed to allow journalists and the members of the medical and theological commission to circulate freely, and above all, to allow the population to hear the dialogue of the seers. On August 15, 1982, there were 20,000 people.


Towards the end of an Apparition, the Blessed Virgin asks the seers to bless the crowd. The seers are in ecstasy; they do not see the crowd, but a garden of flowers, some fresh, and others faded. Our Lady asks the seers to water the flowers, and explains that the fresh flowers represent people whose hearts are turned to God, whereas the faded flowers represent those whose hearts are turned to earthly things, especially to money.


Mystical journeys


There are also the mystical journeys. Alphonsine experienced this phenomenon on March 20 and 21, 1982. She informs the Sister directress and her classmates in advance: I will look dead, but don't be afraid; don't bury me!


The journey lasts eighteen hours. Priests, nurses, religious, the medical assistant of the Red Cross, all can see Alphonsine plunged into a deep sleep, her body straight and very heavy. They cannot lift her nor separate her hands that are joined. During this journey, the Blessed Virgin shows her Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell.


Another impressive phenomenon that took place in Kibeho was the fasts and the silences requested by Jesus or Mary. This was also checked by the commission of inquiry. These fasts could last up to fourteen days, without harming the health of the seers.


She prays and sings


During one Apparition, Alphonsine is cured of a severe quinsy and of a loss of voice, and also of an eye disease. During the Apparition on October 2, she fell seven times, but even when she lays on the ground, she continues to pray and to sing. She asks for the grace to detest sin, the strength not to be carried away by the desires of the flesh. She sings: Queen of Heaven and earth.


Then, as an invocation, she repeats: ?Let us help Him to save the world... In her prayers, Alphonsine often asks for vocations to the priesthood and the religious life. She does not forget the youth. She prays for peace because, she says, there are dissensions, troubles, hatred all over the world.? Finally, she prays for Bishops of Rwanda, the heads of States, and for the whole world.


Two sanctuaries


On August 5, 1982, the Virgin Mary said to Anathalie:


I speak to you, but you do not hear Me. I want to lift you, but you remain down. I call you, but you turn a deaf ear. When will you do what I ask of you? You remain indifferent to all My appeals. When will you understand? When will you take interest in what I want to say to you? I give you signs, but you remain incredulous. How long will you turn a dead ear to My appeals?


This long complaint of the Blessed Virgin follows Her request to build two sanctuaries on the place of the Apparitions. Anathalie had told the authorities, but nothing had been done yet. However, the local Bishop and the parish priest were already convinced about the reality of the Apparitions, but they had to go through the usual inquiries.


Repentance


The crowd in the schoolyard during the Apparitions


Here is the dialogue that took place between Marie Claire and Mary on April 2, 1982:


Mary: Do repent! Do repent! Do repent!


Marie Claire: But I do!


Mary: When I tell you this, I do not speak to you alone, but I speak also to all the others.. Men of our times have emptied each thing of its true meaning: he who commits a fault does not recognize that he did wrong.


Marie Claire: We are weak, without strength. Give us the strength to recognize our faults and to ask forgiveness for them.


Our Lady recommends to us to say the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows, to obtain the contrition of our sins.


On May 31, 1982, Our Lady said to Marie Claire:


?What I ask of you is repentance. If you recite this chaplet, while meditating on it, you will then have the strength to repent. Today, many people do not know any more how to ask forgiveness. They nail again the Son of God on the Cross. So I wanted to come and recall it to you, especially here in Rwanda, for here I have still found humble people, who are not attached to wealth nor money.


Our Lady asked us to recite this chaplet every day if we can, but especially on the following days: Friday, the day that recalls the crucifixion of Jesus; Tuesday, in memory of the first Apparition to Marie Claire on Tuesday, March 2, 1982; on September 14, the feast of the Holy Cross; and on September 15, the feast of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows.


A Message for statesmen


Here are excerpts from a Message of our Heavenly Mother to the seer Alphonsine during Her last Apparition on November 28, 1989. It was published in the May-June, 1990 issue of Michael:


I speak to you who hold power, and who represent the nation: save the people, instead of being their torturers. Don't rob the people; share with others. Be careful not to persecute, to muzzle those who want to denounce your errors..


I say it to you, I repeat it, whatever you do, even though you try everything to harm somebody because he loves his fellow men, defends human rights, fights for the respect of the life of others, and for the truth and all that is good, and even because he fights so that God may be loved and respected, whatever you do, you can do nothing against him.


The Virgin also said to Alphonsine: I love you very much. If I came, it is because you needed it. Extraordinary phenomena


The pilgrims in Kibeho witnessed several extraordinary phenomena: the dance of the sun from left to right and up and down, for tens of minutes; the disappearance of the sun, replaced by a greenish moon; a dance of the stars; luminous crosses in the sky.


But the greatest miracle in Kibeho was this wave of conversions and prayers that resulted from the Apparitions. The Virgin Mary especially called Her consecrated ones and the youth, these poor young people of our times who go to schools, that are not only without God, but against God!


Bishop Jean Baptiste Gahamanyi


Bishop Jean Baptiste Gahamanyi, who was in charge of the Diocese of Butare at the time of the Apparitions, was interviewed by the French Catholic periodical ?Chretiens Magazine? (Jan. 15, 1998 issue). He said:


At the beginning of January, 1982, I invited Alphonsine to:


Ask the Virgin Her name, and for whom Her Message was intended for Kibeho, for Rwanda, for Africa, for the whole world;


Express clearly Her Message;


Appear not too late, and in a place large enough to gather many people.


For the next Apparition, Our Lady appeared in the schoolyard, but not far from the original place of the Apparitions, and this Apparition took place at 3 p.m.


The Virgin Mary said that the purpose of Her coming was to communicate a message of conversion (through a life of prayer and confession, a life renewed by the Word of God, and by works of charity and justice).


She had also stated Her name, `the Mother of the Word', so that one will not mistake Her for another mother: the child to whom She gave birth is God.


She insisted on the same message of rejection of sin, and recommended the practice of unceasing prayer that keeps us in communion with the Holy Trinity. This is how the devotion to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary was discovered.


I have absolutely no doubt that something supernatural took place in Kibeho. The message is true; people must feel concerned.


A vision of the war later in 1994


During his 1990 visit to Rwanda, John Paul II exhorted the faithful to turn to the Virgin as a simple and sure guide, and to pray for greater commitment against local divisions, both political and ethnic.


One of the key reasons that brought the competent ecclesiastical authorities to recognize the Apparition of Kibeho as authentic was the anticipated vision of the Rwanda genocide that occurred 12 years later, in 1994.


On August 19, 1982, the seers saw ?a river of blood, people who were killing each other, abandoned corpses with no one to bury them, a tree all in flames, bodies without their heads. This prophecy seemed at first incredible, but about a decade later, in the spring of 1994, a horrifying civil war erupted in Rwanda, and, in just three months, an estimated 500,000 to one million were killed, many beheaded by machetes and dumped into the Kagea River (river of blood).


The Blessed Virgin had warned us at Kibeho that sexual promiscuity would lead to disaster. That was before the world knew about AIDS, but by 1994, Africa has seventy percent of the world's AIDS cases and entire villages were turned into ghost towns! So far, 25 million Africans have contracted AIDS.


But the warnings of the Blessed Virgin Mary were not just for Africa. "When I tell you this, I am not addressing myself strictly to you, child, but I am making this appeal to the world," the Virgin told the seer Marie-Clare Mukangango who was later killed in the war. She said the Virgin described the world as in revolt against God, the world is on the edge of catastrophe.


To avoid war and chastisements, the Mother of the Word invited the young seers and the whole world to pray, to fast, and to make penance.


Following the terrible events that took place in the United States, and that are foreshadowing a bloodier and more devastative war, we ask our readers to put into practice the request of Pope John Paul: Pray to avoid war!


And, above all, let us heed the requests of Our Lady: let us convert by going to confession, by confessing our sins with deep sorrow; let us go to Mass every Sunday; let us pray the Rosary by meditating on the mysteries that recall the main events of the life of Our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, related in the Gospel; let us recite the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows that reminds us that Mary took a close part in our Redemption, that She suffered along with Her Son Jesus to save us.


Thérèse Tardif This article was published in the Oct.-Nov.-December, 2001 issue of Michael. http://www.michaeljournal.org/kibeho.htm


Urgent Message of Great Chastisement from Jesus King of All Nations to


His Secretary


Urgent Message of Great Chastisement from Jesus King of All Nations to His Secretary


So now, O children, listen to me, be attentive to the words of my mouth! (Prov. 7:24)Our Lord: "My child, take this message of Mine quickly to your director. "God has told me to hasten." (2 Chron. 35:21) I call upon all the faithful and in particular My consecrated ones to offer prayers and sacrifices to lessen a great chastisement that is about to fall upon mankind.


Many souls will be unprepared and they need desperately the charity of others. "Jerusalem is mindful of the days of her wretched homelessness, When her people fell into enemy hands, and she had no one to help her; When her foes gloated over her, laughed at her ruin." (Lam. 1:7) I have been patient for so long, listening to the pleading of My Holy Mother for her erring children.


The cup is overflowing. My Justice must be poured out. Yet My Mercy is ever present even when My Justice is revealed. "Turn to me and be safe, all you ends of the earth, for I am God; there is no other! By myself I swear, uttering my just decree and my unalterable word:" (Is. 45:22-23) Pray, pray, pray.


Novum! Extend your prayers yet further. Help Me to save your brothers and sisters who are in danger of being eternally lost. "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost." (Luke19:10) The earth shall be renewed. The blight of sin eradicated. "This is the covenant I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord: 'I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them upon their minds,' " he also says: "Their sins and their evil doing I will remember no more."


(Heb. 10:16-17)This will result from the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Stand firm in the Holy Faith. Soon, I am coming soon!" "For, after just a brief moment, he who is to come shall come; he shall not delay." (Heb. 10:37


Message to Eileen Renders Oct.18,2009

Hearts That Are Blind


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


Prior to receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I made an Act of Contrition. On my knees with both hands covering my face, I gave thanks and praise to God. I thanked Him for all His many blessings and told Him of my appreciation for remaining in my life.


Then I prayed: Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.


Briefly (in my mind's eye) I was looking out of what appeared to be glasses with the left eye of the glasses totally blacked out.


Then Jesus spoke responding to my heart saying: My child Eileen, My children who shut Me out of their hearts are blinded by the heart and cannot see. They cannot see Me in their life, yet take no action at all to open their hearts to Me.


Truthfully I tell you, without My grace in your life you are on a path of destruction. Open up your heart to Me and allow My grace to flow. Only then will you be able to remain in the Light and come follow Me. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.


Private message to littlest of servants October 17, 2009


OCTOBER WILL BE A MONTH THAT WILL CHANGE THE ENTIRE WORLD FOREVER.

 


SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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

FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )


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


Dear friends and family,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN


PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.


September 18, 2009


Public


Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."


"You will make this known."


* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

"I am full of mercy"


Dear Friends,


Renunciation of Vice


Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient.


By these you too once conducted yourselves, when you lived in that way. But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths. Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator. Here there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.


Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:5-15


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


"There is a big difference between a person that is attached to the things of the world and the person who lives totally for Me. Those that are attached to the world are filled with greed, impurity, passion and selfish desires. They are filled with anger, fury, malice, slander, obscene language and they lie to one another. They do not obey their Father in heaven. However, those who are My chosen ones are kind and humble, and filled with compassion, gentleness and patience. They forgive one another and they love one another. These will receive My peace, the peace I give to all My friends.


If you truly love Me, you will live a moral life by following all the commandments that the Father has given you. You cannot become a moral person by your own power. You need the help of My grace and I am always ready to give you an abundance of grace if you turn to Me and ask for this gift.


By yourself you are too weak to overcome sin but with the strength of My grace and humility you can overcome every temptation and live as My beloved brothers and sisters. Remember, I am full of mercy for you all."

"I came to redeem you"


Dear Friends,


General Admonition


I say this so that no one may deceive you by specious arguments. For even if I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing as I observe your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. So, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him, rooted in him and built upon him and established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.


See to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to human tradition, according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ. For in him dwells the whole fullness of the deity bodily, and you share in this fullness in him, who is the head of every principality and power. In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not administered by hand, by stripping off the carnal body, with the circumcision of Christ. You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.


And even when you were dead in transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he brought you to life along with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions; obliterating the bond against us, with its legal claims, which was opposed to us, he also removed it from our midst, nailing it to the cross; despoiling the principalities and the powers, he made a public spectacle of them, leading them away in triumph by it. Colossians 2:4-15


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


"There are many today in every country who argue that I do not exist and that you are foolish to believe in Me or to go to Church. They say that I was just a human being like everybody else and I am dead and all should forget about Me. Their poor arguments prove nothing for they are empty words.


You can ask these people a question like this: 'His Apostles believed that He was the Son of God, the Messiah, the Savior, who had been announced for hundreds and hundreds of years. He came with the power of God, healing the sick, bringing back the dead to life and although He was killed by hanging on the cross, He rose from the dead on the third day and He was seen by all the Apostles.


How can a mere man do all these things?' Only God can do such things. Therefore, I am the Son of God and your Savior. Yes, I came to redeem you from your sins and to show you the way to heaven. Come, believe in Me and follow Me, and you will be in heaven with Me one day. I love you all."

"The truth is given to you by My Church"


Dear Friends,


The Preeminence of Christ


He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent.


For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things in him, making peace by the blood of his cross (through him), whether those on earth or those in heaven.


And you who once were alienated and hostile in mind because of evil deeds he has now reconciled in his fleshy body through his death, to present you holy, without blemish, and irreproachable before him, provided that you persevere in the faith, firmly grounded, stable, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, am a minister. Colossians 1:15-23


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


"My great friend, St. Paul, was very fond of writing glowing tribute about Me. Everything he wrote, though, is the truth. I am the image of God the Father as I told the Apostles when they asked to see the Father.


Indeed those who see Me, see the Father. Everything was created in Me. I am the head of the Church and the Church is My Body. I am also the firstborn from the dead and I reconciled all things through the shedding of My blood on the cross.


I am the one who reconciled you with the Father by My sacrifice on the cross. Your sins have been atoned and at baptism you are made holy and without blemish. Remain steadfast in the faith until the end. Cooperate with the graces I give you every day so that you can remain on the way that leads to everlasting life in heaven.


Follow the Gospel that the Church preaches to you continuously. Do not have itchy ears by listening to others, who do not follow Me, but try to draw you away from Me by presenting you with their false ideas. The truth is given to you by My Church."

"Accept My peace and love"


Dear Friends,

 


Thanksgiving and Prayers for continued Progress


We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the holy ones because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. Of this you have already heard through the word of truth, the gospel, that has come to you. Just as in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing, so also among you, from the day you heard it and came to know the grace of God in truth, as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow slave, who is a trustworthy minister of Christ on your behalf and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.


Therefore, from the day we heard this, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us in the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:3-14


Here is the message received from Our Lord and Savior and addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,


"Prayer is very important in the lives of Christians. Prayer is the elevation of the mind and heart to God. All are called to worship the Father and that is what you do when you go to Holy Mass on Sundays. Give your heart to Him and acknowledge Him as your Creator. In prayer you can also ask the Father in My name for what you need. He is always ready to help you.


It is the Father who sent Me into the world to bring you out of the grip of the evil one who is the power of darkness and I brought you out into the light of God and into My Kingdom that will last forever.


If you remain in My Kingdom, you will bear good fruit and you will be strengthened with My grace to live in close union with the Father and with Me in the power of the Holy Spirit. You will have trials but endure them with patience and in time they will go away. Accept My peace and love, which I send to you in abundance every day. I bless you."

"Father, forgive them"


Dear Friends,


Joy and Peace


Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.


Then the peace of the Lord that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4: 4 - 9


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


"I am always very near to you, and so you should be happy and rejoice every day. If I am with you, what should you fear. Be ready to say thank you to Your Heavenly Father every day for all that He does for you. Get rid of all anxiety and have confidence in Me. I am there to help you if you turn to Me. Pray regularly and bring all your petitions to Me and you will have peace in your heart.


Live, My friends, honorable lives and be just with every person. Remain pure of heart and love all those you meet. Go and help the poor, the elderly and the sick. It might be only to visit them and to pray for them. Do everything well and you will be praised for it. In doing all these beautiful things, you will delight Your Father and I and we will bless you with much peace and love.


Do not keep a grudge against anyone but forgive all the people that have hurt you in any way. I forgave before I died all those who had whipped Me, condemned Me, and nailed Me to the cross to die. I said before I died, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." If I could forgive those who killed Me, then you too can forgive those who hurt you. I love you all.

"Take My hand today"


Dear Friends,


Forward in Christ


It is not that I have already taken hold of it (righteousness) or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus. Let us, then, who are perfectly mature adopt this attitude.


And if you have a different attitude, this too God will reveal to you. Only, with regard to what we have attained, continue on the same course. Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in us. For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ.


Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their shame. Their minds are occupied with earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself. Philippians 3: 12 - 21


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


"St. Paul often wrote about his pursuit, his goal and his straining to attain the goal of perfect maturity and to enter heaven one day. I call you all, My brothers and sisters, to imitate the saints like St. Paul in working hard to subject yourselves completely to Me in order to attain holiness.


Do not be like those who put their minds on the things of this world and forget about Me. Worldly things will not be able to satisfy your heart. I am the only one who can bring you what your whole being is searching for.


Do not throw away your salvation for things that last but a short time. Instead work hard for the things that last forever. Be My friend today and every day and you will be with Me one day in heaven. Strive to climb the mountain in order to reach holiness with the graces I give you. Take My hand today."

"Love your Father"


Dear Friends,


Obedience and Service in the World


So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work. Do everything without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like lights in the world, as you hold on to the word of life, so that my boast for the day of Christ may be that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.


But, even if I am poured out as a libation upon the sacrificial service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with all of you. In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me. Philippians 2: 12 - 18


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


"All those who believe in God the Father are called to obey Him in everything. Be obedient to the Ten Commandments for in following them you show your love for the Father who created you and keeps you in being at every moment.


The first commandment teaches that all are to worship God and to serve Him alone. Your whole life should be based on faith in God. Your first obligation is to obey your Father in everything. You are to hope in Him and to love Him with all your heart. Do not be indifferent to God but be grateful for all that He does for you.


You are all to adore God and in so doing you acknowledge that He is God and the Lord of everything. Prayers are also offered to God for all your needs. Pray with confidence that He is there and is listening to you and that He will grant you all that you truly need.


You are not to have other gods before the Father. You are not to form any gods either of people, animals or birds and worship them. This is an affront against your Father and a terrible sin. You have only one God and Father in heaven and do not try to make yourself an imitation. Remain free from the occult and all magic and sorcery. These things are of the evil one. Love your Father and follow Him and you will have peace."


Father Melvin


MEDJUGORGE MESSAGES


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 23 - I WANTED TO ROUSE THE FAITH


"What can I desire besides this consecrated Host? In all heaven and earth, what is there apart from You that can satisfy me? O sweetness, O beauty, O power of love!" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God


Mother Teresa - You need only ask at night before you go to bed, " What did I do to Jesus today? " " What did I do for Jesus today? " " What did I do with Jesus today? " You have only to look at your hands.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Anxiety is one of the greatest traitors that real virtue and solid devotion can ever have. It pretends to warm us to do good works, but doesn't and we grow cold; it makes us run only to make us trip. One must be careful of this on all occasions particularly at prayer.


And to better succeed it would be well to remember that graces and the consolations of prayer are not waters of this earth, but of Heaven, and that therefore all our efforts are not sufficient to make them fall, even though it is necessary to prepare oneself with great diligence, but always humbly and tranquilly; one must keep one's heart turned to Heaven and wait from there the Heavenly dew.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Making truth personal through solitude with God


"Only in solitariness is true spirituality born, when the soul stands naked before its God. In that moment these are the only two realities in the universe. In this discovery is born love of neighbor, for then we love our fellow human beings, not because of what they can do for us, but because we see that they too are real or potential children of God. Though truth is not personal, we make it personal by contemplation."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - During Holy Mass, I saw the Lord Jesus nailed upon the cross amidst great torments. A soft moan issued from His Heart. After some time, He said, I thirst. I thirst for the salvation of souls. Help Me, My daughter, to save souls. Join your sufferings to My Passion and offer them to the heavenly Father for sinners. (1032)


Monday of Holy Week. I asked the Lord to let me take part in His Sorrowful Passion that I might experience in soul and body, to the extent that this is possible for a creature, His bitter Passion. I asked to experience all the bitterness, insofar as this was possible. And the Lord answered that He would give me this grace, and that on Thursday, after Holy Communion, He would grant this in a special way. (1034)


I find myself so weak that were it not for Holy Communion I would fall continually. One thing alone sustains me, and that is Holy Communion. From it I draw my strength; in it is all my comfort. I fear life on days when I do not receive Holy Communion. I fear my own self. Jesus concealed in the Host is everything to me. From the tabernacle I draw strength, power, courage, and light. Here, I seek consolation in time of anguish. I would not know how to give glory to God if I did not have the Eucharist in my heart. (1037)

 


Quote of the Day Humility is so precious that it obtains the things that are too high to be taught. It attains and possesses what words do not attain. Bl. John Ruysbroeck


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.


Oct 23 - I WANTED TO ROUSE THE FAITH


During this apparition on a Monday, Marija asks the Gospa why she failed to give her regular weekly message :


I do not wish to force anyone to do what they neither feel or desire, even though I had a special message for the parish in which I wanted to rouse the faith of each believer. But truly, only a small number have accepted my Thursday messages, when in the beginning there were many. It's become a routine affair for them. And lately some are asking for the message only our of curiosity, and not out of faith and devotion to my Son and me (Special Message April 30, 1984).


Also concerned that the people persevere in their faith, Christ said :


Be faithful until death, I will give you the crown of life (Rev 2 :10).


Reflection:


A missionary named Noreen Towers had worked for years among the poor in Nigeria. In spite of all her efforts, she saw absolutely no progress. She says : " I became despondent. I finally reached the breaking point one night … I was beaten. When I went to bed, I didn't know how I could continue.


The next morning, shortly after she awoke, something strange happened to Noreen. It was as though Jesus said to her, " Can you not trust my plan for you? "She writes :


Then I realized that I did not have to see the plan; I only had to trust him. I arose form my bed a different person. My encounter with the living Christ changed me from a broken, defeated person into a person with unshakable hope and faith.


Today, the woman's work among the poor is bearing remarkable fruit.


Like all the virtues, perseverance is a gift of grace, yet Christ never fails to bestow it on those who ask.


This is the primary challenge to rely not on our own strength and endurance, but on the Lord's. It was summarized once in a small prayer : " O Lord, I can't. You can. Please. "


Application:


Today, let us pray to Our Lady for perseverance under one of her most revered titles, Our Lady of Perpetual Help.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 22 - PRAY FOR PEACE


Mother Teresa - Understand the tenderness of God's love. You are precious to Him. He loves you, and He loves you so tenderly that He has carved you on the palm of His hand. " I have inscribed you on the palms of my hand. " (Isaiah 49:16)


Meditations by Padre Pio - Proverbs praises the strong woman: "She puts her hands to the distaff," we are told, and I willing say a few words to you on this matter: Your distaff is the accumulation of your desires.


Therefore spin a little every day, thread by thread weave your design until it is finished and you will infallibly succeed. But be careful not to hurry, because you will tangle the thread with knots and confuse the spindle. Therefore, advance always, and even if you progress at a slow pace, you will still travel far.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Only through silence can we delve beneath the surface of the soul "What is really important is what happens within us, not outside us. The rapidity of communication, the hourly news broadcasts, tomorrow's news the night before - all these make people live on the surface of their souls. The result is that very few live inside themselves. They have their moods determined by the world. Instead of carrying their own atmosphere with them, as the earth does as it revolves around the sun, they are like barometers that register every change in the world outside. Silence alone can give them an inner sanctuary into which they may retire for repose, as hidden gardens wherein like Adam and Eve before the Fall they walk with God in the cool of the evening."

 


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - During Holy Mass, I saw the Lord Jesus nailed upon the cross amidst great torments. A soft moan issued from His Heart. After some time, He said, I thirst. I thirst for the salvation of souls. Help Me, My daughter, to save souls. Join your sufferings to My Passion and offer them to the heavenly Father for sinners. (1032)


Monday of Holy Week. I asked the Lord to let me take part in His Sorrowful Passion that I might experience in soul and body, to the extent that this is possible for a creature, His bitter Passion. I asked to experience all the bitterness, insofar as this was possible. And the Lord answered that He would give me this grace, and that on Thursday, after Holy Communion, He would grant this in a special way. (1034)


I find myself so weak that were it not for Holy Communion I would fall continually. One thing alone sustains me, and that is Holy Communion. From it I draw my strength; in it is all my comfort. I fear life on days when I do not receive Holy Communion. I fear my own self. Jesus concealed in the Host is everything to me. From the tabernacle I draw strength, power, courage, and light. Here, I seek consolation in time of anguish. I would not know how to give glory to God if I did not have the Eucharist in my heart. (1037)

Oct 22 - PRAY FOR PEACE


The following message was given to Marija for the prayer group and pilgrims who had gathered on Mt. Podbrdo :


Dear children, I thank you for having come up here


tonight to pray. At this time your Mother asks you to pray for peace in the world. Therefore, I ask you to come up often on Mt. Kriezevac and Apparition Hill in order to pray for peace and the salvation of the world (Visionary Prayer Group (November 16, 1990).


When he wrote his epistle, James was also thinking of peace :


But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace (Jas a3 :17-18).


Reflection:


The Blessed Mother urges us strongly to pray for peace, more than using the following prayer :


God the Father, origin of divinity, good beyond all good, and fair beyond all fair, you are the abode of calmness, peace, and concord. Put an end to the discord that separates us form one another, and lead us back to a unity of love that may be a reflection of your divine nature.


As you are above all things, unite us by the unanimity of a good mind, so that through the embrace of love and the bonds of affection we may become spiritually one both in ourselves and in each other by means of your peace which renders all things peaceful (St. Dionysius).


Application:


Because of Our Lady's strong desire that we pray for peace,make this one of your major prayer intentions each day.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 21 - FALL ASLEEP IN PRAYER


They deceive themselves who believe that union with God consists in ecstasies or raptures, and in the enjoyment of Him. For it consists in nothing except the surrender and subjection of our will - with our thoughts, words and actions - to the will of God.... -- St. Teresa of Avila RCAV 20.10.06


Mother Teresa - Remember that when your heart feels restless, when your heart feels hurt, when your heart feels like breaking then remember, " I am precious to Him. He has called me by name. I am His. He loves me. "


And to prove that love He died on the cross.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Do not be saddened by the sad spectacle of human injustice; even this has its value in the economy of things. It is over this that you will one day see arise the inevitable triumph of the Justice of God!


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Virtue is the key to Truth


A mirror is silent, yet it reflects forests, sunsets, flowers and faces. Great ascetic souls, given to years of meditation, have taken on a radiance and a beauty which are beyond the outlines of face. They seem to reflect, like the mirror on the outside, the Christ they bear within."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Today, when the doctor [Adam Silberg] making his rounds came to see me, he somehow didn't like the way I looked. Naturally, I was suffering more, and so my temperature had gone up considerably. Consequently, he decided I must not go down for Holy Communion until my temperature dropped to normal.


I said, "All right," although pain seized my heart; but I said I would go only if I had no fever. So he agreed to that. When the doctor left, I said to the Lord, "Jesus, now it is up to You whether I shall go or not," and I didn't think about it anymore, although the thought kept coming to my mind:


I am not to have Jesus-no, that's impossible-and not just once but for several days, until my temperature drops. But in the evening, I said to the Lord, "Jesus, if my Communions are pleasing to You, I beg You humbly, grant that I have not one degree of fever tomorrow morning." (878)


Quote of the Day Purity is a supernatural denial of nature, which means that a mortal and corruptible body is rivaling the celestial spirits in a truly marvelous way. -St. John Climacus

Oct 21 - FALL ASLEEP IN PRAYER


The following advice was given to Jelena on prayer : In the evening, if you fall asleep in prayer and in peace, you will wake up in the morning thinking of Jesus. Then you will be able to pray for peace. But if you fall asleep in distraction, the day after will be clouded and you will even forget to pray that day (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana October 30, 1983).


In this passage, the psalmist speaks with confidence that the Lord will hear his earnest prayer : But I call upon God,
And the Lord will save me.
Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaints and moan,
And he will hear my voice.
--Psalm 55 :6-17


Reflection:


As we see, Our Lady stresses the importance of prayer throughout the day, especially in the morning and at night. These have always been traditional prayer times for the church, and the Divine Office is structured in this way. It has the effect of sanctifying the entire day.


The following are two prayers composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori especially for the morning and evening hours :


A Morning Prayer


Most holy and divine Trinity, one God in three Persons, I praise you and give you thanks for all the favors yow have bestowed on me. Your goodness has preserved me until now. I offer you my whole being and in particular all my thoughts, works, and deeds, together with all the trails I may undergo today. Give them your blessing. May your Divine Love animate them and may they serve your greater glory. I make this morning offering in union with Mary, his Virgin Mother and who was always the faithful handmaid of the Lord.


An Evening Prayer


Jesus Christ my God, I adore you and I thank you for all the graces you have given me this day. I offer you my sleep and all and all the moments of this night, and I implore you to keep me safe from sin.


To this end I take refuge in your Sacred Heart and under the mantle of Our Lady, my Mother. Let your holy angels surround me and keep me in peace; and let your blessing be upon me.


Application:


Tomorrow, begin and end your day with these prayers, or a prayer of your own, as Our Lady asks.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 20 - PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT


"Souls . . . leave me alone by night, alone by day, in the churches. They no longer care about the Sacrament of the Altar. Hardly anyone ever speaks of this Sacrament of Love. Even those who do speak, alas, do so with great indifference and coldness. My heart is forgotten" (Words of Jesus to St. Padre Pio).


Mother Teresa - Believe in Jesus trust in Him with blind and absolute confidence because He is Jesus. Believe that Jesus and Jesus alone is life and sanctity is nothing but that same Jesus intimately living in you; then His hand will be free with you.


Meditations by Padre Pio - All of us are not called by God to save souls and propagate His glory by the noble apostolate of preaching… (but) one can promote God's glory and work for the salvation of souls by means of a truly Christian life, by praying without ceasing that "His Kingdom come…" that "we may not be led into temptation" and that "He deliver us from evil." This is what you ought to do offering yourself continually to the Lord for this purpose.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Whatever you do, you do it to Christ! " On the Last Day, Our Blessed Lord said that He will judge us by our attitude to hospitality: `When did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not care for You?' (Matthew 25: 44). Hospitality, therefore, not only has the duties of which we are aware, but also the more terrible awareness that it is Christ Who is the Stranger.


In all our dealings, we are dealing with the Lord Himself, though we know it not. Maybe if we could see our wars aright, in between two trenches of the enemies, or between a plane in the sky and the target beneath, there is Christ's Body being shot full of holes. What men do to one another, they do to Him, whether the act be of kindness or bitterness. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - February 15, 1937. Today, I heard these words in my soul: Host pleasing to My Father, know, My daughter, that the entire Holy Trinity finds Its special delight in you, because you live exclusively by the will of God. No sacrifice can compare with this. (955) After these words, the knowledge of God's will came to me; that is to say, I now see everything from a higher point of view and accept all events and things, pleasant and unpleasant, with love, as tokens of the heavenly Father's special affection. (956)


The pure offering of my will, will burn on the altar of love. That my sacrifice may be perfect, I unite myself closely with the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. When great sufferings will cause my nature to tremble, and my physical and spiritual strength will diminish, then will I hide myself deep in the open wound of the Heart of Jesus, silent as a dove, without complaint.


Let all my desires, even the holiest, noblest and most beautiful, take always the last place and Your holy will, the very first. The least of Your desires, O Lord, is more precious to me than heaven, with all its treasures. I know very well that people will not understand me; that is why my sacrifice will be purer in Your eyes. (957)


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.


Oct 20 - PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT


Our Lady speaks today of the Holy Spirit: The important thing is to pray to the Holy Spirit that he may descend upon you. When you have him, you have everything. (FY 10-21-83 In John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of the Holy Spirit:


And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you (John 14:16-17).


Reflection:


"Pray to the Holy Spirit," the Blessed Mother tells us today; and Jesus assures us that the Spirit" abides with you and is in you."


Let us then use this time to pray to the Spirit, using St. Augustine's Prayer for the Indwelling of the Spirit:


Holy Spirit, powerful Consoler, sacred Bond of the Father and the Son, Hope of the afflicted, descend into my heart and establish in it your loving dominion. Enkindle in my tepid soul the fire of your Love so that I may be wholly subject to you.


We believe that when you dwell in us, you also prepare a dwelling for the Father and the Son. Deign, therefore, to come to me, Consoler of abandoned souls, and Protector of the needy. Help the afflicted, strengthen the weak, and support the wavering. Come and purify me. let no evil desire take possession of me. You love the humble and resist the proud. Come to me, glory of the living, and hope of the dying. Lead me by your grace that I may always be pleasing to you.


Application:


Continue to use this prayer throughout the week to deepen your devotion to the Spirit of God Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 19 - LOVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART


Our Lady of the Rosary—Oct. 7 "The prayer of the Rosary, or five decades of it, after the Sacred Liturgy of the Eucharist, is what most unites us to God by the richness of the prayers . . . we see that it is indeed a Trinitarian and a Eucharistic prayer, even more than a Marian one. I do not know if we can find prayers more sublime or more appropriate to recite before the Blessed Sacrament" (Sr. Lucia of Fatima).

 


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


Meditations by Padre Pio - I wholeheartedly bless the work of catechizing children, who are the little flowers of Jesus. I also bless the zealous work of missionaries.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Whatever you do, you do it to Christ!


" On the Last Day, Our Blessed Lord said that He will judge us by our attitude to hospitality: `When did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not care for You?' (Matthew 25: 44). Hospitality, therefore, not only has the duties of which we are aware, but also the more terrible awareness that it is Christ Who is the Stranger. In all our dealings, we are dealing with the Lord Himself, though we know it not. Maybe if we could see our wars aright, in between two trenches of the enemies, or between a plane in the sky and the target beneath, there is Christ's Body being shot full of holes. What men do to one another, they do to Him, whether the act be of kindness or bitterness. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - I have desired death so much! I do not know whether I shall ever again in my life experience such great longing for God. There have been times when I fell into a swoon for Him. Oh, how ugly the earth when one knows heaven! I must do violence to myself in order to live. O will of God, you are my nourishment. (899)


Today, the Lord said to me, I demand of you a perfect and whole-burnt offering; an offering of the will. No other sacrifice can compare with this one. I Myself am directing your life and arranging things in such a way that you will be for Me a continual sacrifice and will always do My will. And for the accomplishment of this offering, you will unite yourself with Me on the Cross. I know what you can do. I Myself will give you many orders directly, but I will delay the possibility of their being carried out and make it depend on others. But what the superiors will not manage to do, I Myself will accomplish directly in your soul. And in the most hidden depths of your soul, a perfect holocaust will be carried out, not just for a while, but know, My daughter, that this offering will last until your death. But there is time, so that I the Lord will fulfill all your wishes. I delight in you as in a living host; let nothing terrify you; I am with you. (923)

 


Quote of the Day - Chastity, or cleanness of heart, holds a glorious and distinguished place among the virtues, because she alone enables man to see God; hence Truth Itself said: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." -St. Augustine Today's Tidbit - The city of Naples has a vial of St. Januarius' blood. Each year, on his feast this vial of blood liquefies. In years when this miracle did not occur, severe disasters fell upon the city.

Oct 19 - LOVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART


The Queen of Peace speaks of love today:


If you love with all your heart, you will receive so much. If you hate, you will lose every thing. Dear Children, love makes great things. The more love you have within you, the more you can love the people around you. That is why I ask you to pray unceasingly to Jesus that he fill your hearts with love (LJM 4-12-87).


Christ also speaks of the great commandment:


This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. (John 15:12-13).


Reflection:

 


Application:


As Our Lady says today, "Pray to Jesus that he may fill your hearts with love," and be on the lookout for those in trouble.

Ann. Our Lady's Apparition at Fatima & the Miracle of the Sun (1917)-Oct. 13 "Let us listen to Mary Most Holy, in whom the mystery of the Eucharist appears, more than in anyone else, as a mystery of light. Gazing upon Mary, we come to know the transforming power present in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 62).


"The Year of the Eucharist has its source in the amazement with which the Church contemplates this great Mystery . . . . I consider it a great grace to be able to call the whole Church to contemplate, praise, and adore in a special way this ineffable Sacrament" (Pope John Paul II, Mane Nobiscum Domine, 29).


Mother Teresa - Serve Jesus with joy and gladness of spirit, casting aside and forgetting all that troubles and worries you.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Nor should you become confused, trying to understand whether you consented or not. So everything with an upright intention; this uprightness which must always be present in your actions, and whenever you valiantly and generously fight the evil tricks of the evil spirit.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - God wants us to get personal " The age of discovery is not yet over and the greatest discovery yet remains to be made by every individual, namely, there are other people in the world besides oneself. As a former Prince of Wales once said: `Number Ten Downing Street can never be a substitute for the good neighbor;' neither can the Community Chest nor Social Welfare Agency. Immediate personal contact, courageous embracing of the worries and burdens involved in full personal and intimate relationships - these are the bloodstream of a healthy society. "


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


I will enclose myself in the chalice of Jesus so that I may comfort Him continually. I will do everything within my power to save souls, and I will do it through prayer and suffering.


I try always to be a Bethany for Jesus, so that He may rest here after all His labors. In Holy Communion, my union with Jesus is so intimate and incomprehensible that even if I wanted to describe it in writing I could not do so, because I lack the words. (735)


During Mass today, I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, Be at peace, My daughter; I see your efforts, which are very pleasing to Me. And the Lord disappeared, and it was time for Holy Communion. After I received Holy Communion, I suddenly saw the Cenacle and in it Jesus and the Apostles. I saw the institution of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior, and I came to know the greatness of His majesty and, at the same time, His great humbling of Himself. The extraordinary light that allowed me to see His majesty revealed to me, at the same time, what was in my own soul. (757)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


Oct 18 - ST. LUKE


Since Luke was a physician, it is appropriate that the Madonna speaks of the sick today: Pray for all the sick. Believe firmly. I will come to help, according to that which is in my power. I will ask my Son, Jesus, to help them. The most important thing, in the meantime, is a strong faith. Many who are sick think that it is sufficient to come here in order to be quickly healed. Some of them do not even believe in God, and even less in the apparitions, and then they ask for help from the Gospa! (FY 2-9-82).


In answer to questions about the sick in 1981, the Gospa responded:


Without faith, nothing is possible. All those who will believe firmly will be cured. (FY 7-24-81).


And last, from the Acts of the Apostles:


Yet more than ever believers were added to the Lord, great numbers of both men and women, so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mats, in order that Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he came by. A great number of people would also gather from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all cured. (Acts 5:14-16)


Reflection:


On this feast of St. Luke, the physician, we cannot help but be aware of the central role that faith plays in healing, for it is mentioned throughout scripture and Our Lady's messages as the one thing necessary.


As we see in her message, Mary asks us to "pray for the sick. Believe firmly...the most important thing is a strong faith." Again, on July 24, 1981: "Without faith, nothing is possible. All those who will believe firmly will be cured." When asked about a sick person on July 29, 1981, the Gospa responded, "Praise be Jesus! She will be cured. She must believe firmly."


Sacred scripture bears out the great healing power of faith. From today's passage from St. James: "This prayer uttered in faith will reclaim the one who is ill, and the Lord will restore him to health" (Jas 5:15).


Taken together, both Our Lady's messages and scripture emphasize that a firm, expectant faith is needed for healing at the hands of God. And this faith, in turn, is deepened and strengthened through prayer, the foundational message of Medjugorje.


On this his feast day, let us pray to St. Luke the physician to help us grow in faith and in prayer, that we may experience healing where it is most needed in our lives today, whether it be physical, mental or spiritual.


Application:


In prayer, call to mind someone who is ill and offer the Prayer for the Sick for them (January 14), which was given by Our Lady in Medjugorje for just such a purpose


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 17 - THE SECRETS


Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and devotion to the Holy Rosary . . . [are] the unparalleled solution to 'fight' Satan, renew our faith, convert sinners, save souls, and bring peace into our lives and into the world" (The Eucharist and The Rosary: The Power to Change the World).


"Exposition [of the Holy Eucharist] is the great need of our times" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).


Mother Teresa - Let none glory in his success but refer all to God in deepest thankfulness; on the other hand, no failure should dishearten him as long as he has done his best.


Meditations by Padre Pio - As regards to the spiritual trials to which the paternal goodness of the Heavenly Father is subjecting you, I beg you to be resigned and if possible tranquil on the assurances of he who takes the place of God, and who speaks to you in His name; who loves you in Him and who desires every blessing for you. You are suffering it is true, but with resignation.


You are suffering, but do not fear, because God is with you and you don't offend Him, but you love Him. You are suffering, but believe, also, that Jesus is suffering within you, with you, for you.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Wars stem from the neglect of morality!


" War is not necessary, but it does become an inseparable ailment of any world that abandons the supremacy of the spirit. Nietzche, after proclaiming the death of God in the nineteenth century, prophesied that the twentieth century would be a century of wars. There is a possible connection between the importance given to politics and the frequency of wars. In any era of history where politics is the major interest, war is the major consequence.


This does not mean that one ought to subscribe to the dictum of Karl von Clausewitz that war is the prosecution of politics by other means. It does mean however, that since politics stresses expediency and pragmatism on a great scale that dedication to truth and morality are minimized. Since the latter are essential for peace, war becomes a greater possibility. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - I will enclose myself in the chalice of Jesus so that I may comfort Him continually. I will do everything within my power to save souls, and I will do it through prayer and suffering.

Quote of the Day I great you from Smyrna together with the Churches of God present here with me. They comfort me in every way, both in body and soul. My chains, which I carry about on me for Jesus Christ, begging that I may happily make my way to God, exhort you: persevere in you concord and in you community prayers. -St. Ignatius of Antioch


Today's Tidbit St. Ignatius was the first to use the term "Catholic Church" as a collective name for Christians.

Oct 17 - THE SECRETS


During one apparition , Our Lady showed Mirjana the first secret, and saw the earth desolate. The Virgin said :


It is the upheaval of a region of the world. In the world there is so much sin. What can I do, if you do not help me?


Remember that I love you. God does not have a hard heart. But look around you and see what men do, for then you will no longer say that God's heart is hard, How many people come to church , to the house of God, with respect, strong faith, and a love for God? Very few! Now you have a time of grace and conversion. It is necessary to use it well (Special Message October 25, 1985).


And from Luke's gospel, Christ says :


There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will faint form fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory, Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near (Lk 21 :25-28).


Reflection :

 


The chastisements spoken of In the Medjugorje secrets are not planned punishments from an angry God, but the final consequences of sin and evil in the world. Like a defective boiler building up with steam, it will eventually blow. Spiritual laws cannot be continuously violated any more than the laws of nature. It is the love and mercy of God that has sent the Blessed Virgin into the world to release the building pressure of sin.


But, as she has said many times, she cannot do it alone. She must have our prayers and sacrifices. "What can I do, » she says today, " if you do not help me?"


Application :


Today, review the priorities of your life. In what place have you put spirituality and prayer?


SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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

African Black Saints, Black Catholics, Coptic, and Orthodox Christians’ Spirituality in Africa, the Caribbean, Oceania, South Pacific Rim, Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Palau, Tuvulu, Nauru, Vanuatu, Australia, New Zealand and Islands of the Solomons, Marianas, Society, Marshall, and all the New Hebrides.

For the coming plagues and illnesses:


FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )


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


Dear friends and family,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN


PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.


September 18, 2009


Public


Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."


"You will make this known."


* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


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


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


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 17 - THE SECRETS


"Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and devotion to the Holy Rosary . . . [are] the unparalleled solution to 'fight' Satan, renew our faith, convert sinners, save souls, and bring peace into our lives and into the world" (The Eucharist and The Rosary: The Power to Change the World).


"Exposition [of the Holy Eucharist] is the great need of our times" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 


Mother Teresa - Let none glory in his success but refer all to God in deepest thankfulness; on the other hand, no failure should dishearten him as long as he has done his best.


Meditations by Padre Pio - As regards to the spiritual trials to which the paternal goodness of the Heavenly Father is subjecting you, I beg you to be resigned and if possible tranquil on the assurances of he who takes the place of God, and who speaks to you in His name; who loves you in Him and who desires every blessing for you. You are suffering it is true, but with resignation. You are suffering, but do not fear, because God is with you and you don't offend Him, but you love Him. You are suffering, but believe, also, that Jesus is suffering within you, with you, for you.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Wars stem from the neglect of morality!


" War is not necessary, but it does become an inseparable ailment of any world that abandons the supremacy of the spirit. Nietzche, after proclaiming the death of God in the nineteenth century, prophesied that the twentieth century would be a century of wars. There is a possible connection between the importance given to politics and the frequency of wars.


In any era of history where politics is the major interest, war is the major consequence. This does not mean that one ought to subscribe to the dictum of Karl von Clausewitz that war is the prosecution of politics by other means.


It does mean however, that since politics stresses expediency and pragmatism on a great scale that dedication to truth and morality are minimized. Since the latter are essential for peace, war becomes a greater possibility. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - I will enclose myself in the chalice of Jesus so that I may comfort Him continually. I will do everything within my power to save souls, and I will do it through prayer and suffering.


I try always to be a Bethany for Jesus, so that He may rest here after all His labors. In Holy Communion, my union with Jesus is so intimate and incomprehensible that even if I wanted to describe it in writing I could not do so, because I lack the words. (735)


During Mass today, I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, Be at peace, My daughter; I see your efforts, which are very pleasing to Me. And the Lord disappeared, and it was time for Holy Communion. After I received Holy Communion, I suddenly saw the Cenacle and in it Jesus and the Apostles.


I saw the institution of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior, and I came to know the greatness of His majesty and, at the same time, His great humbling of Himself. The extraordinary light that allowed me to see His majesty revealed to me, at the same time, what was in my own soul. (757)


Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html - Quote of the Day I great you from Smyrna together with the Churches of God present here with me. They comfort me in every way, both in body and soul. My chains, which I carry about on me for Jesus Christ, begging that I may happily make my way to God, exhort you: persevere in you concord and in you community prayers. -St. Ignatius of Antioch


Today's Tidbit St. Ignatius was the first to use the term "Catholic Church" as a collective name for Christians.


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.


Oct 17 - THE SECRETS


During one apparition , Our Lady showed Mirjana the first secret, and saw the earth desolate. The Virgin said :


It is the upheaval of a region of the world. In the world there is so much sin. What can I do, if you do not help me?


Remember that I love you. God does not have a hard heart. But look around you and see what men do, for then you will no longer say that God's heart is hard, How many people come to church , to the house of God, with respect, strong faith, and a love for God? Very few! Now you have a time of grace and conversion. It is necessary to use it well (Special Message October 25, 1985).


And from Luke's gospel, Christ says :


There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will faint form fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory, Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near (Lk 21 :25-28).


Reflection :

 


There are so many things we want to do, but we keep putting them. Off. But there is one thing we must not put off preparation for the Lord's final coming. For some it will be a time of " fear and foreboding, » yet others are to " strand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is at hand. » It all depends on one's spiritual preparedness.


The chastisements spoken of In the Medjugorje secrets are not planned punishments from an angry God, but the final consequences of sin and evil in the world. Like a defective boiler building up with steam, it will eventually blow. Spiritual laws cannot be continuously violated any more than the laws of nature. It is the love and mercy of God that has sent the Blessed Virgin into the world to release the building pressure of sin.


But, as she has said many times, she cannot do it alone. She must have our prayers and sacrifices. "What can I do, » she says today, " if you do not help me?"


Application :


Today, review the priorities of your life. In what place have you put spirituality and prayer?


Mary, present on Calvary by the cross, is equally present with the Church and as Mother of the Church, in each of our Eucharistic celebrations (see "Ecclesia de Eucharistia," No. 57). Because of this, no one better than she can teach us to understand and live with faith the holy Mass, uniting us to Christ's redeeming sacrifice. When we receive holy Communion we also, as Mary and united to her, embrace the wood, which Jesus with his love has transformed into instrument of salvation, and pronounce our 'Amen,' our 'yes' to crucified and risen Love" (Pope Benedict, Sept. 11, 2005).

 


"I know a person with serious illnesses, who often experiences great pain, who through this Bread [of the Eucharist] had them taken away as though by a gesture of the hand and was made completely well. This is a common experience" (St. Teresa of Avila).

 


Mother Teresa - What have we got that we have not received? " asks St. Paul. If I have received everything, what good have I of my own? If we are convinced of this we will never raise our head in pride. If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Remember that I am the enemy of useless desires, no less than I am of dangerous and bad desires. Because even though one's desires are good, nevertheless, the desire is always defective in our regard, especially when it is combined with excessive haste. Because God does not expect this sort of good, but He wants us to practise another.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Morality and Decency Foster Peace


" The more morality and decency and virtue there are in the world, the more peace there will be in the world. Wars are consequences of a moral rebellion. The Scriptures boldly affirm that war is the result of egotism and selfishness. When civilization is made up of millions of men and women who are at war with themselves, it is not long until communities, classes, states and nations will be at war with one another. Every world war is a turbulent ocean made up of the confluent streams of millions of little wars inside the minds and hearts of unhappy people. War is the final logic of self-will."

 


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


At eleven o'clock Jesus said to me, My host, you are refreshment for My tormented Heart. I thought, after these words, that my heart would burn up. And He brought me into such close intimacy with Himself that my heart was espoused to His Heart in a loving union, and I could feel the faintest stir of His Heart and He, of mine. The fire of my created love was joined to the ardor of His eternal love.


his one grace surpasses all others in its immensity. His Trinitarian Being enveloped me entirely, and I am totally immersed in Him. My littleness is, as it were, wrestling with this Immortal Mighty One. I am immersed in incomprehensible love and incomprehensible torture because of His Passion. All that concerns His Being is imparted to me also. (1056)


Up to now, Jesus has been bringing me to know about, and to have a presentiment of, this grace, but today He granted it to me. I would not even dare to dream about it. My heart is in ceaseless ecstasy, as it were, although outwardly nothing disturbs my contacts with my neighbor or my attending to various matters. Nothing is capable of interrupting my ecstasy, nor can anyone suspect it, because I have asked God to protect me from detection by people. And, together with this grace, there entered my soul a whole ocean of light, enabling me to understand God and myself. Amazement overwhelms me entirely and leads me as if into a new ecstasy [aroused by the fact] that God has deigned to descend to me, who am so little. (1057)

 


Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html - Quote of the Day Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love. In return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrileges, and by the coldness and contempt they have for me in this Sacrament of love...


I come into the heart I have given you in order that through your fervor you may atone for the offenses which I have received from lukewarm and slothful hearts that dishonor me in the Blessed Sacrament. -Third apparition of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque


Today's Tidbit During Margaret Mary's life Jansenism was a heresy causing serious problems in several countries, especially France. This heresy believed that human nature was radically and intrinsically corrupted by original sin and that those who will gain the rewards of eternal life are only those who are predestined for that reward. Jansenism advocated an extremely rigorous moral code. The Church condemned Jansenism because of its views concerning Original Sin and predestination. Many scholars believe that the devotion to the Sacred Heart advocated by St. Margaret Mary was one of the contributing factors to the end of Jansenism.

 


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


Oct 16 - ST. MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE The following was given to Jelena, the locutionist :


I wish that all families consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart each day, for I am very happy when the whole family comes together to pray. In the morning, pray for half an hour (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana Oct 20, 1983).


The Sacred Heart is the powerful symbol of Christ's love for us. He asks us to extend that love to others:


"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another" (Jn13;34).


Reflection:


St. Margaret Mary was born in France in 1647. She joined the Sisters of the Visitation and was later graced with mystical revelations from Christ, who charged her with spreading devotion to his Sacred Heart. Our Lady has referred to this devotion a number of times in Medjugorje, as we see in today's message.


Application:


You may wish to place an image of the Sacred Heart in your home, as well as offer a prayer to the Heart of Jesus each day. One short prayer that was written by Sr. Margaret herself : O Heart of love, I put all my trust in you ; for I fear all things from my own weakness, but I hope for all things from your goodness


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 15 - ST. TERESA OF AVILA

 


"The prayer of the Rosary, or five decades of it, after the Sacred Liturgy of the Eucharist, is what most unites us to God by the richness of the prayers that compose it . . . we see that it is indeed a Trinitarian and a Eucharistic prayer, even more than a Marian one. I do not know if we can find prayers more sublime or more appropriate to recite before the Blessed Sacrament." (Sr. Lucia of Fatima)


"Souls . . . leave me alone by night, alone by day, in the churches. They no longer care about the Sacrament of the Altar. Hardly anyone ever speaks of this Sacrament of Love. Even those who do speak, alas, do so with great indifference and coldness. My heart is forgotten" (Words of Jesus to St. Padre Pio).


Mother Teresa - It is necessary that the Word live in you, that you understand the Word, that you live the Word. You will not be able to live that Word unless you give it to others.


Meditations by Padre Pio - You must not behave violently unless you wish to risk gaining nothing. You must have great Christian prudence.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Eliminate sin and there'll be no need for suffering


"There are two great evils in the world: sin and suffering. Sin is mortal, suffering is physical, and the latter is a result of the former. What happens to the body as pain, and to nature in the form of cyclones, earthquakes and floods, is ultimately an echo, a repercussion and effect of what has already happened in the moral universe. When the big wheel in a machine is cracked, all the little wheels get out of order. As we eliminate sin, we eliminate suffering; as we love God, we cease to hate others. And thus we engage in fewer wars."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Oh, what joy it is to empty myself for the sake of immortal souls! I know that the grain of wheat must be destroyed and ground between millstones in order to become food. In the same way, I must become destroyed in order to be useful to the Church and souls, even though exteriorly no one will notice my sacrifice. O Jesus, outwardly I want to be hidden, just like this little wafer wherein the eye perceives nothing, and yet I am a host


consecrated to You. (641)


Holy Hour.-Thursday. During this hour of prayer, Jesus allowed me to enter the Cenacle, and I was a witness to what happened there. However, I was most deeply moved when, before the Consecration, Jesus raised His eyes to heaven and entered into a mysterious conversation with His Father. It is only in eternity that we shall really understand that moment.


His eyes were like two flames; His face was radiant, white as snow; His whole personage full of majesty, His soul full of longing. At the moment of Consecration, love rested satiated-the sacrifice fully consummated. Now only the external ceremony of death will be carried out-external destruction; the essence [of it] is in the Cenacle. Never in my whole life had I understood this mystery so profoundly as during that hour of adoration. Oh, how ardently I desire that the whole world would come to know this unfathomable mystery! (684)

 


Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html - Quote of the Day Unless you strive after virtues and practice them, you will never grow to be more than dwarfs. -St. Theresa of Avila Today's Tidbit Transverberation is a word that means piercing. The transverberation of Teresa is described in the twenty-ninth chapter of her autobiography.


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


The following was given to Ivan for the prayer group and pilgrims :


Dear children, tonight your mother wants to encourage you to start praying with the heart. This prayer is essential to people living in today's world. And so do not pray just with your lips or without knowing what you pray.


Dear children, I also need your prayers during this time to accomplish the great plans I have. I wish us to work together. I have repeated that many times inn my messages. I need you. And so pray, pray with the heart! (Visionary Prayer Group Oct 31, 1988).


It was heartfelt prayer that sustained the early church in the power of the Holy Spirit. From the Acts of the Apostles :


When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness (Acts 4 :31).


Reflection:


One of the greatest masters of prayer in the Catholic church was St. Teresa of Avila. Her classic writings The Way of Perfection, Foundations, and The Interior Castle continue to be studied even today.


Born in Avila, Spain, on March 28, 1515, Teresa was one of the most down to earth mystics that the church has ever known. She was described as " intelligent, hardheaded, charming, and deeply spiritual." Another described her as "talented, outgoing, affectionate, courageous…totally human. She is wise, yet practical; intelligent, yet much in tune with here experience; mystical, yet an energetic reformer."


Other than her writings, St. Teresa is best known for the reforms she initiated in the Carmelite Order. In 1562 she founded her first convent of Discalced (reformed Carmelites, established for nuns who wished a more cloistered and contemplative observance rather than the relaxed discipline of her time. She went on to found 16 more, traveling throughout Spain.


She once wrote :


Christ has no body now on earth, but yours,
No hands but yours, No feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which the
compassion of Christ must look on the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless his people.


Application: "Your mother want to encourage you," the Virgin says today, "to start to praying with the heart. This prayer is essential to people living in today's world."


Today, as both Our Lady and St. Teresa advise, pray with special meaning and concentration.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 14 - DO NOT GIVE UP ON MEDITATION


Ann. Our Lady's Apparition at Fatima & the Miracle of the Sun (1917)-Oct. 13 "Let us listen to Mary Most Holy, in whom the mystery of the Eucharist appears, more than in anyone else, as a mystery of light. Gazing upon Mary, we come to know the transforming power present in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 62).


Our Lady of the Rosary—Oct. 7 "The prayer of the Rosary, or five decades of it, after the Sacred Liturgy of the Eucharist, is what most unites us to God by the richness of the prayers . . . we see that it is indeed a Trinitarian and a Eucharistic prayer, even more than a Marian one. I do not know if we can find prayers more sublime or more appropriate to recite before the Blessed Sacrament" (Sr. Lucia of Fatima).


Mother Teresa - We stand before the world as ambassadors of peace by preaching the message of love in action that crosses all barriers of nationality, creed, or country.


Padre Pio - Those souls who throw themselves into the whirlpool of worldly occupations are poor and unfortunate. The more they love the world, the more their passions multiply; the more their desires are lit, the more they find themselves incapable of carrying out their projects, and thus they are uneasy, impatient, affected by that shock that breaks their hearts; those hearts which do not beat with charity and holy love. Let us pray for these unfortunate and miserable souls, that Jesus may forgive them and draw them to Himself in His infinite mercy.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Virtue is the key to Truth


"Notice how often today men in public life accuse one another of `lying.' Why is it they never speak of truth? May it not be that they studied in the same school as Pilate and asked `What is Truth?' (John 18: 38) and then turn their backs on it. It takes a heap of virtuous living for any one of us to discover Truth. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -Midnight Mass. During Holy Mass, I again saw the little Infant Jesus, extremely beautiful, joyfully stretching out His little arms to me. After Holy Communion, I heard the words: I am always in your heart; not only when you receive Me in Holy Communion, but always. I spent these holy days in great joy. (575)


One time, I was in doubt as to whether what had happened to me had seriously offended the Lord Jesus or not. As I could not solve this doubt, I made up my mind not to go to Communion before first going to confession, although I immediately made an act of contrition, as it is my habit to ask for forgiveness after the slightest transgression. During those days when I did not receive Holy Communion, I did not feel the presence of God. This caused me unspeakable pain, but I took it as a punishment for sin.


However, at the time of Holy Confession I was reproached for not going to Holy Communion, because what had happened to me was not an obstacle to receiving Holy Communion. After confession, I received Holy Communion, and I saw the Lord Jesus who said to me, Know, My daughter, that you caused Me more sorrow by not uniting yourself with Me in Holy Communion than you did by that small transgression. (612)


Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html -


Quote of the Day Humility is the key which opens all the treasures of God. -St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier


Today's Tidbit A martyrology is a work that lists all the canonized saints, their feast days, and a small biography of each saint. Martyrologies may exist for a local district or exist for the general use of the faithful. One of the most exhaustive martyrologies is the Roman Martyrology, which is set up to list all the saints of the Roman Catholic Church, not just one district.


Martyrologies began as accounts of the martyrs for the Faith but began to be expanded as the Church began to officially recognize the saintliness of people who did not die through martyrdom.


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.


Oct 14 - DO NOT GIVE UP ON MEDITATION


Speaking again of her most crucial message, Our Lady says : Pray and fast. Do not give up on meditation. At home meditate at least half an hour (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 21, 1984).


And in Colossians, Paul also stresses prayer :


Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. At the same time pray for us as well that God will open for us a door for the word…(Col 4 :2-3).


Reflections:


Fr. Mark Link tells the story of a young prince who was very handsome except for one thing : he had a crooked back. This birth defect caused him great sorrow and kept him from being the kind of prince that he really wanted to be.


One day the prince's father asked the best sculptor in his kingdom to make a statue of the prince. However, it should portray him with a straight back. The king wanted his son to see himself as he could be. When the sculptor finished the statue, it was truly magnificent. It was so lifelike that you could mistake it for the prince. The king placed the statue in the prince's private garden.


Each day when the prince went to his garden to study, he looked longingly at the statue. Then one day he noticed that when he did this, his heart beat faster and his body tingled. Months passed. Soon the people began to say to one another, » When the prince heard this, his heart beat even faster and his body tingled even more.


Now he began to go to the garden more often. He spent hours standing before the statue, studying it closely and meditating on it. Then one day a remarkable thing happened. The prince found himself standing as straight as the statue.


This story is a kind of parable of each of us. We see Jesus as the perfect image of what we ere born to be. He stands spiritually straight and beautiful. And just as the prince studied and pondered the statue, so we must study and ponder Christ so that we can become his image.


Application:


Today, let us simply take the Madonna's advice and meditate on the life of Christ through scriptural prayer, the rosary, or quiet contemplation.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 13 - SING, BE FULL OF JOY!


"The encounter with Christ, constantly intensified and deepened in the Eucharist, issues in the Church and in every Christian an urgent summons to testimony and evangelization" (Pope Benedict XVI, October 9, 2005).


"Where Jesus is . . . there is joy there is peace there is love. And that is why He made Himself the Bread of Life to be our life of love and joy. No one else can give what He gives and He is there all the time" (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).

 


Mother Teresa - Our vocation is to belong to Jesus. The easiest way and the simplest way of belonging is this: the Holy Spirit makes us do that giving of self, that total surrender to God, without any reflection, without any counting the cost. We call that " blind surrender. "


Meditations by Padre Pio - You are searching feverously for the Supreme Good, but in truth, He is within you, keeping you stretched out on the naked cross, breathing strength into you to bear the intolerable torment, and love, that you may painfully love His love. Your fear of having lost Him, then, is altogether futile, for He is quite near and clasps you to Himself. Equally futile is your anxiety for the future, since the present is a crucifixion of love.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The Golden Quality of Truth


"Grains of truth are like grains of gold that prospectors find; they can be discovered after a long search; they must be sifted from error with great patience; they must be buried with sacrifice to erase the dross and washed in the streams of honesty."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - On Friday during Mass when my soul was flooded with God's happiness, I heard these words in my soul: My mercy has passed into souls through the divine-human Heart of Jesus as a ray from the sun passes through crystal. I felt in my heart and understood that every approach to God is brought about by Jesus, in Him and through Him. (528)


O God, how I desire that souls come to know You and to see that You have created them because of Your unfathomable love. O my Creator and Lord, I feel that I am going to remove the veil of heaven so that earth will not doubt Your goodness.


Make of me, Jesus, a pure and agreeable offering before the Face of Your Father. Jesus, transform me, miserable and sinful as I am, into Your own self (for You can do all things), and give me to Your Eternal Father. I want to become a sacrificial host before You, but an ordinary wafer to people.


I want the fragrance of my sacrifice to be known to You alone. O Eternal God, an unquenchable fire of supplication for Your mercy burns within me. I know and understand that this is my task, here and in eternity. You yourself have told me to speak about this great mercy and about Your goodness. (483)

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.


-OCT 13 - SING, BE FULL OF JOY!

The following was given to Jelena, the locutionist : In difficulties, when you carry the cross, sing, be full of joy! (Locutionist Jelena & Mirjana 1986).
The psalmist also urges us to sing :
O sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
He is to be revered among all gods.
Psalm 96 :1 - 4
Reflection:
Joy and song are two of God's most beautiful gifts to mankind. Needless to say, the greatest joy is found in God himself, as we see from Psalm 96 today.
The following hymn is one of the most ancient in the church. Composed by St. Nicetas, it dates from A.D. Sundays, feasts, and solemnities. Let us offer the TeDeum (You Are God) with joy :
You are God: we praise you;
You are the Lord: we acclaim you;
You are the Eternal Father:
All creation worships you.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise :
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company of apostles praise you.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the holy church acclaims you :
Father, of majesty unbounded,
Your true and only Son,
worthy of all worship,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, O Christ, are the king of glory,
The eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free.
You did not spurn the Virgin's womb.
You overcame the sting of death,
And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God's right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come, and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Brought with the price of your own blood,
And bring us with your saints to everlasting glory.
Amen.


Application:


Joyful pray the TeDeum on the next several Sundays, as priests and religious do throughout the world.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 12 - I LOVE YOU ALL

 


"All the angels . . . fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God" (Rev 7:11).

 


Mother Teresa - The whole of our life must come to that one word "yes." Yes to God: that is holiness. We allow God to take from us whatever He wants and we accept whatever He gives with joy. That is yes in action.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Don't tire yourself with things that cause anxieties, perturbation and worries. Only one thing is necessary, to lift up your spirit and love God.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Truth travels along the narrow way "Truth is a narrow path; either side is an abyss. It is easy to fall either to the right or the left; it was easy to be an idealist in the nineteenth century, as it is easy to be a materialist in the twentieth century; but to avoid both abysses and walk that narrow path of truth is as thrilling as a romance."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - When I entered chapel, I heard these words interiorly: Every time you enter the chapel, immediately recite the prayer which I taught you yesterday. When I had said the prayer, in my soul I heard these words:This prayer will serve to appease My wrath.


You will recite it for nine days, on the beads of the rosary, in the following manner: First of all, you will say one OUR FATHER and HAIL MARY and the I BELIEVE IN GOD. Then on the OUR FATHER beads you will say the following words: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world."


On the HAIL MARY beads you will say the following words: "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world." In conclusion, three times you will recite these words: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world." (476)


During Holy Mass I prayed fervently that Jesus might become King of all hearts and that divine grace might shine in every soul. Then I saw Jesus as He is depicted in the Image, and He said to me, My daughter, you give Me the greatest glory by faithfully fulfilling My desires. (500)

OCT 12 - I LOVE YOU ALL


In this weekly message during May, the Madonna spoke of love:


Dear children, I have told you already that I have especially chosen you just the way you are. I am your Mother and I love you all. During times that are difficult, do not be afraid, for I love you even when you are far from my Son and me.


Please, do not let my heart weep with tears of blood for the souls that are being lost in sin. Therefore, dear children, pray, pray, pray! (Weekly Message May 24, 1984).


In Romans, Paul speaks of the love that has been poured out into our hearts:


And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God is love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us (Rom 5 :3-5).


Reflection:


One of the shows in the television series "Highway to Heaven" dealt with children with cancer, got the idea to have real-life victims play the parts.


.


Application:


Today, simply offer this Prayer for Kindness and Love:


Lord Jesus Christ, help us to realize the power of kindness and love. Help us to use this power the way you intended us to use it when you created us. Help us to use it to bring happiness to those around us. Help us to use it to work miracles, healing people in our time, just as you healed them through in your time. Amen.



SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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

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


Dear friends and family,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN


PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.


September 18, 2009


Public


Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."


"You will make this known."


* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


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


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


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

"I love you all"


Dear Friends,


Duty to Live in the Light


Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. So do not be associated with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth. Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.


Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light.


Therefore, it says: "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light." Watch carefully then how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise, making the most of the opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not continue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the Lord. Ephesians 5:6-17

 


Below I give you the message of Our Blessed Mother received by Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,


"I bless you, My children, and with your faith in Jesus, My Son, and your great love for Him, you are truly the children of light. Do not listen to the empty arguments of those who do not believe in God and do not honor Me; these are still in darkness and working with the evil one.


You are blessed if you obey My Son and live in His light. Learn how to please Him in your daily life. I call you to prayer every day and to go to church on Sunday and on weekdays too if it is possible. Through prayer and good works you will remain close to Jesus and to Me. Follow the commandments of God and you will truly be the beloved of the Father.


Remember the days are evil so be watchful that you do not fall into sin. The darkness is spreading over many parts of the world because the evil one has taken over these areas. Do not be discouraged over this, but let your light shine even stronger. United with My Son Jesus, you can overcome any pressure from the evil one. Unite with your fellow Christians to be a force for good in the world. I love you all."

"Pray with great love"


Dear Friends,


Prayers for the Readers


For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21


Yesterday we had sunshine in the morning but it clouded over in the afternoon and rain started in the evening. It was windy the whole night and it is still windy this morning. It will rain for most of the day today.


I celebrated a Healing Mass last evening at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island for all those who are here on retreat. The Holy Spirit was very active and He touched many who took part. The retreat will end today at noon and so far it went very well. I will soon get ready to go to Argentina for my third visit to that beautiful country. It is now the Spring season in Argentina while here it is the Fall season.


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


"A Christian is one who prays. If a person should say that he or she is a Christian and does not pray, that person is a liar. How important it is, therefore, that you pray regularly every day.


I gave you the prayer 'The Our Father' and you should pray this prayer often during the day. All need to honor and worship the Father every day as the first part of this prayer makes clear. Then you should ask the Father for what you need. In this prayer you ask for the food you need as everything comes from the Father. You also ask Him for forgiveness for all your sins as you forgive those who sin against you. If you refuse to forgive those who hurt you in any way, how can your Father forgive you for all the sins you have committed against Him? So forgive all those who have sinned against you.


Ask for His help to avoid sin because you are weak and without the grace of God you cannot avoid falling into sin. The Father, though, is always ready to give you the strength and the graces you need every day. Pray the Our Father with all your heart and mean what you are saying. Do not race through your prayers like a parrot but pray with great love to your Father who loves you. I bless you all."


Father Melvin


Wednesday, October 07, 2009 "I dwell among you" Dear Friends,


One in Christ


Therefore, remember that at one time you, Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by those called the circumcision, which is done in the flesh by human hands, were at that time without Christ, alienated from the community of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have become near by the blood of Christ.


For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it.


He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:11-22

 


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


"The Jewish Nation had been chosen by God to come and know the Father, to worship Him and to follow the Ten Commandments given to them by the Father through Moses on Mount Sinai. They were the chosen people from whom the Savior was to be born. God had chosen as My Mother the Virgin Mary who is today your Mother too. However, My people rejected Me and condemned Me to death nailing Me to a cross to die.


I was sent to the world to redeem all the people of the world. It was the Gentiles that accepted Me and believed in Me. The Apostles were sent to them to bring them into My Church. They are the glory of My Church as many saints have come from them. The Church today is made up of converted Gentiles who believe in Me and accept Me as their head. May you continue to dwell with Me and grow in holiness every day of your life. I dwell among you and with joy I give you the graces you need."


Father Melvin


Tuesday, October 06, 2009 "My mercy will never end"


Dear Friends,


Generosity of God's Plan


You were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you once lived following the age of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the desires of our flesh, following the wishes of the flesh and the impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest.


But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved), raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.


For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast. For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them. Ephesians 2:1-10

 


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


"I pour My love and mercy upon you, My brothers and sisters. Even when you are in sin I do not stop showing you My mercy. By grace I raised you up from sin and, if you remain close to Me, you will be seated with Me in heaven one day. My grace is a free gift from Me and I am very generous with all My gifts.


Mercy is the perfection of love and I am rich in mercy. I know that without My grace you cannot avoid sin so My grace is always there for you if you open your heart to receive this gift. I suffered and died on the cross to pay the price for your sins and to be able to fill you with My mercy and love.


Come to Me with a humble heart and you will be renewed in My love. My heart is on fire for you and all I wish is that you return this love every day. If I show mercy to you then you in turn must show mercy to all those you meet. You must not hate anyone or be angry with anyone. Be like your Father who lets the sun shine on every person good or bad. Pray for sinners that they might stop sinning and embrace Me as their Savior. I want the conversion of every person on earth so they can be with Me forever in heaven. My mercy will never end while you are on earth. I love you."


Father Melvin

"I love you all"


Dear Friends,


The Church as Christ's Body


Therefore, I, too, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.


May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.


And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way. Ephesians 1:15-23

 


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


"It is a fact that I died on the cross in great suffering for your redemption and now I am in heaven sitting at the right hand of the Father as your leader and Savior. I founded My Church and I am the head of the Church. I appointed St. Peter as My first Vicar to be in charge of My Church on earth. All his successors have the same power that he had and all are to be respected by all the members of the Church for they represent Me.


The Church is My Mystical Body and each member of the Church is part of My Body. If I live in your heart then you are part of Me and all the graces that come from Me flow into you. I want My Body to grow all the time with new members entering every day.


I want My Body to be strong by your deep faith and your great love. Be an active member of My Mystical Body, the Church, by going to church regularly and taking an active part in the celebration of My Sacrifice on the Cross. Come and receive Me with great respect and devotion and you will be blessed. I love you all, My brothers and sisters."


Father Melvin


[Fr. Doucette: 338] Fri, Oct 09, 2009: "Go to adoration"

 


Friday, October 09, 2009 "Go to adoration" Dear Friends,


Jesus said: “Well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.’” Matthew 15:7–9

 


I quote again from the messages of Jesus addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying,


“I love the person with a sincere heart that only believes the truth and expresses his or her deep faith in prayer and in loving everyone. Some honor Me with a selfish motive just to show off but their heart is far from Me. They are more interested in the things of this world than the things of God. Others make out that they are worshiping Me but they simply care about themselves. They do not teach My doctrine, which I brought you when I came into the world. They only teach human doctrines, which are only based on what they see. Most of what they teach is false. One false doctrine that is taught is that freedom means to do whatever you wish. True freedom means that you are free to do what is right and to follow the truth.


Look, My dear friends, at how I acted when I was in the world. I truly honoured My Father and followed His will in all things. I followed Him completely right to My death on the cross.


I never committed a sin during My whole life in the world. I call you all to honour the Father as I did. I also worshipped Him in prayer spending whole nights in prayer as I did on the mountain. I loved to take time every day to be with Him. Your greatest act as a creature of God is to worship the Father with all your heart. You owe the Father thanks for everything because He gave you everything you have. Come and thank Him for all He does for you.


There are many, though, that instead of worshipping the Father, insult Him and commit all kinds of sins against Him. You, who love the Father, make reparation for all these horrible sins committed against Him every day. Go to adoration and pray the rosary to repair the damage that these people have done. Show your Heavenly Father that you love Him with all your heart and even if you should fall, you will ask pardon for all your sins and never stop worshipping Him and loving Him.”


Father Melvin

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 11 - WHEN SUFFERINGS COME


"Many problems darken the horizon of our time. We need but think of the urgent need to work for peace, to base relationships between peoples on solid premises of justice and solidarity, and to defend human life from conception to its natural end. And what should we say of the thousand inconsistencies of a 'globalized' world where the weakest, the most powerless and the poorest appear to have so little hope!


It is in this world that Christian hope must shine forth! For this reason too, the Lord wished to remain with us in the Eucharist, making his presence in meal and sacrifice the promise of a humanity renewed by his love" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 20).

 


Mother Teresa - Sacrifice, to be real, must cost; it must hurt; it must empty us of self. Let us free our minds from all that is not Jesus. If you find it difficult to pray, ask Him again and again, " Jesus, come into my heart, pray in me and with me, that I may learn from you how to pray. "

 


Meditations by Padre Pio - Do not fear as regards to your spirit: they are tricks, treats and signs of predilection on the part of the heavenly Spouse who wants to make you similar to Him. Jesus sees the disposition and good will of your soul, which is excellent, and He accepts and rewards this, and not your incapability's and inabilities, so be tranquil.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The practicality of truth


" Speculative truth is very easy to accept, e.g., London is the capital of England. The reason is because it does not in any way involve a change in our conduct. It makes no practical difference to our lives. But the truth of morality, such as purity, justice and prudence and charity are not so easy for acceptance, because they often demand a revolution in our behavior.


That is why men are more willing to accept objections against a principle of morality than against a theory of science. Our Divine Lord referred to the difficulty of accepting practical truths when He said: `You will not come to Me because your lives are evil' (cf. John 5: 19-47). "

 


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Once after Holy Communion, I heard these words: You are Our dwelling place. At that moment, I felt in my soul the presence of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I felt that I was the temple of God. I felt I was a child of the Father. I cannot explain all this, but the spirit understands it well. O infinite Goodness, how low You stoop to Your miserable creature! (451)


I knew, more distinctly, than ever before, the Three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But their being, their equality, and their majesty are one. My soul is in communion with these Three; but I do not know how to express this in words; yet my soul understands it well. Whoever is united to One of the Three Persons is thereby united to the whole Blessed Trinity, for this Oneness is indivisible.


This vision, or rather, this knowledge filled my soul with unimaginable happiness, because God is so great. What I am describing I did not see with my eyes, as on previous occasions, but in a purely interior manner, in a purely spiritual way, independent of the senses. This continued until the end of Holy Mass.


This now happens often to me, and not only in the chapel, but also at work and at times when I least expect it. (472)

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.


OCT 11 - WHEN SUFFERINGS COME


The Blessed Mother urges us today to offer our sufferings to God :


Dear children, this evening I especially call you to perseverance in trials. Reflect on how the Almighty is still suffering today on account of your sins. So when sufferings come, offer them up as a sacrifice to God. (Weekly Message March 29, 1984).


In his first letter, Peter speaks of victory over suffering:


Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may be glad and shout for joy when his glory is revealed (1 Pt 4 :12-13).


Reflection:


Viktor Frankl, one of the great psychotherapists of our times, addresses the

 


Frankl says the deciding difference was faith. It was faith that gave their lives and thus their suffering ultimate meaning. This faith put them in touch with a power that helped them maintain their humanity even in the face of incredible


inhumanity. Application:


Our Lady says to us today, "When suffering come, offer them up as a sacrifice to God."


The following prayer, An Offering of Suffering, was written in that spirit :


O my Lord Jesus Christ, I lift up my heart to you in my suffering and ask for your comforting help. I know that you would withhold the thorns of this life if I could attain eternal life without them. And so I commend myself to your loving mercy, accepting this suffering in your name. Grant me the grace to bear it and to offer it in union with your sufferings.


Regardless of the suffering that may come my way, let me trust you always, for you are my Lord, my God, and my All. Amen.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL


"This Fountain [of the Holy Eucharist] is a fountain of light, shedding abundant rays of truth. And beside it the angelic powers from on high have taken their stand, gazing on the beauty of its streams, since they perceive more clearly than we the power of what lies before us and its unapproachable dazzling rays" (St. John Chrysostom).

 


Mother Teresa - It doesn't matter because I belong so totally to Him that He can do just what He wants to do with me.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Be tranquil as far as your soul is concerned. Confide totally, more and more, in Jesus. Make an effort to unite yourself always and in everything to Divine Will, both in happy and sad events, and don't worry about the future.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Two kinds of truth


"There are two kinds of truth; speculative and practical. Speculative truth is the truth of knowing, such as comes to us from philosophy, mechanics, physics and chemistry. Practical truth, however, is concerned with doing and living, such as ethics and morals."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Once, the Image was being exhibited over the altar during the Corpus Christi procession [June 20, 1935]. When the priest exposed the Blessed Sacrament, and the choir began to sing, the rays from the Image pierced the Sacred Host and spread out all over the world. Then I heard these words: These rays of mercy will pass through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out through all the world. At these words, profound joy invaded my soul. (441)


Once when my confessor [Father Sopocko] was saying Mass, I saw, as usual, the Child Jesus on the altar, from the time of the Offertory. However, a moment before the Elevation, the priest vanished from my sight, and Jesus alone remained. When the moment of the Elevation approached, Jesus took the Host and the chalice in His little hands and raised them together, looking up to heaven, and a moment later I again saw my confessor. I asked the Child Jesus where the priest had been during the time I had not seen him. Jesus answered, In My Heart. But I could not understand anything more of these words of Jesus. (442)

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.


Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL


Today Our Lady asks that our lives be an example of good for others:


Dear children, I invite you to pray with the heart so that your prayer may be a true conversation with God.


I ask that each one of you dedicate more time to God, for Satan is strong and wants to deceive you in many ways. Therefore, dear children, pray every day that your lives be a source of goodness not only for your own benefit, but also for all those you meet I am with you and I am protecting you even though Satan wants to destroy my plans and all that the heavenly Father wishes to accomplish here (Monthly Message September 25, 1990.)


And at the Last Supper, Jesus sets an example for his apostles:


After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you?" (Jn 13 :12-15).


Application:


Today, try to be especially aware of your influence on others, and the kind of influence Our Lord and his Mother would like you to be


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 08 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU


"I thirst for Heaven and for the Eucharist. I thirst for love. I thirst for you who are the Life of my life. I thirst for you who are as an Ocean of hope to me, a river to bring me infinite graces, the profound source of the science of the Cross, and the spring of every consolation and the fountain of all that is pure" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

 


Mother Teresa - Total surrender to God must come in small details just as it comes in big details. It's nothing but that single word, " Yes, I accept whatever you give, and I give whatever you take. "


Meditations by Padre Pio - I have nothing to complain of in particular, except this bitter agitation of your, which prevents you from tasting al the sweetness of the cross. Correct this, and continue to do what you have been doing so well up to now.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Though He Who was rich became poor for our sake, yet He would not be an earthly king by force. A poor blind man could stop Him on the roadway to be cured of his blindness, but not all the masses with their universal acclaim and suffrage could make Him king. Then He laid His finger on their error, `You seek Me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied' (John 6: 26). They sought Him not for the higher part of their being, but for their stomachs; not for His morality, but for their economics; not for His saving grace, but because of the dormancy of the spiritual in their souls."


Beware of those who promise the world!


"When loaves are more valued than the Divine Power Which multiplied them; when streams are more admired than the fountains that produced them, the world will accept any kind of a king who promises bread and plenty."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus likes to intervene in the smallest details of our life, and He often fulfills secret wishes of mine that I sometimes hide from Him, although I know that from Him nothing can be hidden. There is a custom among us of drawing by lot, on New Year's Day, special Patrons for ourselves for the whole year. In the morning during meditation, there arose within me a secret desire that the Eucharistic Jesus be my special Patron for this year also, as in the past. But, hiding this desire from my Beloved,


I spoke to Him about everything else but that. When we came to refectory for breakfast, we blessed ourselves and began drawing our patrons. When I approached the holy cards on which the names of the patrons were written, without hesitation I took one, but I didn't read the name immediately as I wanted to mortify myself for a few minutes.


Suddenly, I heard a voice in my soul: I am your patron. Read. I looked at once at the inscription and read, "Patron for the year 1935-the Most Blessed Eucharist." My heart leapt with joy, and I slipped quietly away from the sisters and went for a short visit before the Blessed Sacrament, where I poured out my heart. But Jesus sweetly admonished me that I should be at that moment together with the sisters. I went immediately in obedience to the rule. (360)


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.


OCT 8 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU


Today the Virgin speaks of conversion and the will of God :


Dear children, today I want to thank you for all your sacrifices and prayers. I give you my special motherly blessing.


I call each of you to decide for God. From day to day , discover His will for you in prayer. I wish, dear children, to call all of you to full conversion so that there may be joy in your hearts (Monthly Message June 25, 1990).


And in John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of doing the will of God :


Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me (Jn 6 :37-38).


Reflection:


…So the prayer to say most often is, first of all,"


God, please tell me what you want." And second, "


Give me the strength to do your will."


Application:


In our gospel reading today, Christ said, "I have come down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me." And the Blessed Mother has urged us to "discover God's will for you in prayer." To this end, offer the following prayer today by St. Jane Frances de Chantal :


Lord, what is your will that I do? I am completely open to your plan for me. I desire to live only in you and to be guided by you forever. Grant that your holy will be carried out perfectly in me.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 09 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET


"God waits for us. ... In this very moment when we are celebrating the Eucharist, when we are inaugurating the Synod on the Eucharist, He comes to meet us. ... Will this find a reply? Or does it happen with us as with the vineyard, about which God says in Isaiah: 'He expected it to yield fine grapes; wild grapes were all it yielded'? Is our Christian life often not perhaps rather vinegar than wine? Is it self-pity, conflict, indifference? " (Pope Benedict XVI, Oct. 2, 2005).


Mother Teresa -


And this is just a simple way for us to be holy.


Meditations by Padre Pio - I beg you not to worry about what I am suffering at present and will suffer in the future. No matter how severe this suffering is, when it is placed before the good that awaits us, it is always a delight for the soul.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Pride is the child of ignorance


"Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire. So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html - Often during Mass, I see the Lord in my soul; I feel His presence which pervades my being. I sense His divine gaze; I have long talks with Him without saying a word; I know what His divine Heart desires, and I always do what will please Him the most. I love Him to distraction, and I feel that I am being loved by God. At those times when I meet with God deep within myself, I feel so happy that I do not know how to express it.


Such moments are short, for the soul could not bear it for long, as separation from the body would be inevitable. Though these moments are very short, their power, however, which is transmitted to the soul, remains with it for a very long time. Without the least effort,


I experience the profound recollection which then envelops me-and it does not diminish even if I talk with people, nor does it interfere with the performance of my duties. I feel the constant presence of God without any effort of my soul I know that I am united with Him as closely as a drop of water is united with the bottomless ocean. (411)


When I was attending Mass in a certain church with another sister, I felt the greatness and majesty of God; I felt the church was permeated by God. His majesty enveloped me and, though it terrified me, it filled me with peace and joy. I knew that nothing could oppose His will. Oh, if only all souls knew who is living in our churches, there would not be so many outrages and so much disrespect in these holy places! (409)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


Oct 9 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET


Decrying the lack of perseverance of some, the Madonna once said :


Many have begun to pray for healing here at Medjugorje, but when they return to their homes, they abandon prayer, forget, and also lose many graces (Special Messages September 12, 1986).


Paul also exhorts us to persevere :


Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the holy ones (Eph 6:18)


Reflection:


The virtue of perseverance is exemplified in the life of a man who went blind at the age of three, in the year 1812. When he was old enough, he was sent to a school for the blind in Paris, which was near to his village. There Louis was taught to read by touching large raised letters of the alphabet with his fingers.


He was so successful that he soon found himself teaching others to read by the same method.


But it was not easy. Some people just could not do it, so he determined to invent another method by which blind people could read. He worked and persevered for many a long hour to try to perfect a special alphabet for the blind. When Louis Braille was 20 years old he succeeded.


Application: "Great works are performed not by strength" wrote Samuel Johnson, "but by perseverance. " It is a great Christian virtue, as both Christ and Our Lady attest in our readings.


Today, and especially when you feel drained or weakened, pray for perseverance.

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 07 - Our Lady of the Rosary


Idea inspired by Ecclesia de Eucharistia to help celebrate the Year of the Eucharist: "Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" (Jn 6:68)."Here [in the Holy Eucharist] is the Church's treasure, the heart of the world, the pledge of the fulfilment for which each man and woman, even unconsciously, yearns" (59). Plan a parish mission on the awesome gift of the Holy Eucharist and graces and benefits of Eucharistic Adoration for all.


"During Our Lord's earthly life, 'He went about doing good, and healing . ..' (Acts 10:38). These works of love He still performs in our souls through the Holy Eucharist" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).

 


Mother Teresa - To be holy doesn't mean to do extraordinary things, to understand big things, but it is a simple acceptance, because I have given myself to God, because I belong to Him my total surrender. He could put me here. He could put me there. He can use me. He can not use me.


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


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We are only free when we know the truth! " The only ones who are truly free from the bondage and the burden of self are those who hold to a truth. `The truth will make you free,' said Our Divine Lord (John 8: 32). Only the boxer who knows the truth about fighting is free to stay on his feet. Only the one who knows the truths of engineering is free to build to build a bridge that will stand. The lover of truth is under an eternal law of rectitude; as he submits to it, he enjoys peace. Truth is not something that we invent; if we do, it is a lie; rather truth is something we discover, like love. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - One evening as I entered my cell, I saw the Lord Jesus exposed in the monstrance under the open sky, as it seemed. At the feet of Jesus I saw my confessor, and behind him a great number of the highest ranking ecclesiastics, clothed in vestments the like of which I had never seen except in this vision; and behind them, groups of religious from various orders; and further still I saw enormous crowds of people, which extended far beyond my vision


. I saw the two rays coming out from the Host, as in the image, closely united but not intermingled; and they passed through the hands of my confessor, and then through the hands of the clergy and from their hands to the people, and then they returned to the Host... and at that moment I saw myself once again in the cell which I had just entered. (344)


That same day, when I was in church waiting for confession, I saw the same rays issuing from the monstrance and spreading throughout the church. This lasted all through the service. After the Benediction. [the rays shone out] to both sides and returned again to the monstrance. Their appearance was bright and transparent like crystal. I asked Jesus that He deign to light the fire of His love in all souls that were cold. Beneath these rays a heart will grow warm even if it were like a block of ice; even if it were hard as a rock, it will crumble into dust. (370)


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.


Message of September 25, 2003


"Dear children! Also today I call you to come closer to my heart. Only in this way, will you comprehend the gift of my presence here among you. I desire, little children, to lead you to the heart of my Son Jesus; but you resist and do not desire to open your hearts to prayer. Again, little children, I call you not to be deaf but to comprehend my call, which is salvation for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."


OCT 7 - OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY


Of the rosary, Our Lady said :


Dear children, today I invite you to begin to pray the rosary with a living faith. Only in that way will be able to help you. You wish to receive graces, but you do not pray. I am not able to help you if you do not decide to begin.


I invite you, dear children, to pray the rosary in such a way that it will be a commitment for you, achieved in joy. In this way, you will understand the reason why I have been with you for such a long time. I want to teach you to pray (Weekly Message June 12, 1986).


In Luke's gospel, the risen Christ joins his disciples on the road to Emmaus :


Then he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.


As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went to stay with them. When he was at the table with them he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.


Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?" That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together (Lk 24 :25-33).


Reflection:


In this story we find that the risen Christ "interpreted for them every passage of scripture which referred to him," so that his disciples would understand the meaning of his life, death, and resurrection.


In meditating on the mysteries of the rosary, Jesus also helps us to interpret and understand the meaning of his life and death. And today Our Lady as well says to, "let the faithful meditate each day on the life of Jesus while praying the rosary." It is not necessary to concentrate on the repetitive prayers of the rosary (which serve as a type of mantra), but to let the quiet rhythm of the prayers keep us centered on the particular mystery on which we are meditating.


The more we reflect on the lives of Jesus and Mary through the mysteries, the more we become like them in mind and heart. By means of the rosary, the Spirit of God gradually transfigures our hearts and minds to resemble those of Christ and his Mother.


Application:


Pray the scriptural rosary if you have a book with the verses, or if not, pray the traditional rosary truly from the heart, "meditating on the life of Jesus," as Mary asks of us.

 


SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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

FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )


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


Dear friends and family,


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


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


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


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


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


With all my love,


Jo Ann Riggio, RN


PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.


September 18, 2009


Public


Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."


"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."


"You will make this known."


* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

 


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


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


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


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

"I love you all" Dear Friends,


The Church as Christ’s Body Therefore, I, too, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.


May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.


And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way. Ephesians 1:15–23

 


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


“It is a fact that I died on the cross in great suffering for your redemption and now I am in heaven sitting at the right hand of the Father as your leader and Savior. I founded My Church and I am the head of the Church. I appointed St. Peter as My first Vicar to be in charge of My Church on earth. All his successors have the same power that he had and all are to be respected by all the members of the Church for they represent Me.


The Church is My Mystical Body and each member of the Church is part of My Body. If I live in your heart then you are part of Me and all the graces that come from Me flow into you. I want My Body to grow all the time with new members entering every day. I want My Body to be strong by your deep faith and your great love. Be an active member of My Mystical Body, the Church, by going to church regularly and taking an active part in the celebration of My Sacrifice on the Cross. Come and receive Me with great respect and devotion and you will be blessed. I love you all, My brothers and sisters.”


Father Melvin


Sunday, October 04, 2009 "Come to prayer every day" Dear Friends, The Father's Plan of Salvation


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. Ephesians 1:3-10


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


"I bless you all, My brothers and sisters. As the Son of God I lived for eternity in heaven with My Father and with the Holy Spirit. When the angels were created they served us and were our messengers. I was with My Father when He created the world and everything in it. The earth was chosen as the place for human beings and the Father created Adam and Eve, the first man and the first woman. They were placed in Paradise to live in peace and love and the Father visited them. However, after their great transgression against the Father, they were expelled from Paradise to suffer and to die.


My Father offered them a Redeemer who would come to save the people from their sins. I am the Savior sent by the Father to suffer and die on the cross. I offered Myself in sacrifice to take away your sins and to open heaven for you. In this way I showed you the great love I have for each one of you. I expect you and every person on earth to accept Me as your Lord and Savior and to unite yourselves totally to Me. I am the only one who can offer you salvation.


Come, My dear brothers and sisters, and offer yourselves completely to Me and walk in My footsteps. I will help you to carry your cross every day. The Father and I are pouring the New Pentecost upon you so open your heart to accept this great gift of the Holy Spirit. Come to prayer every day and you will have the graces you need to avoid sin and to help all those in need."


Father Melvin Saturday, October 03, 2009


"I love you and bless you" Dear Friends,


Live in the Community of Christ


Even if a person is caught in some transgression, you who are spiritual should correct that one in a gentle spirit, looking to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deluding himself. Each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast with regard to himself alone, and not with regard to someone else; for each one will bear his own load.


One who is being instructed in the word should share all good things with his instructor. Make no mistake: God is not mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows, because the one who sows for his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows for the spirit will reap eternal life from the spirit.


Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up. So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all, but especially to those who belong to the family of the faith. Galatians 6, 1 -10

 


Now follows the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words, "I bless you, My son, and all My children throughout the world. Be aware that you will be tempted in all kinds of ways in the world today. Many are tempted by the flesh and live far away from My Son who calls you all to follow Him. So many people are caught in drugs and alcohol and are imprisoned by these things. Others live in sin because they follow their sexual desires. The evil one is also there to tempt you and if you are not strong in the faith, you will fall into serious sin.


My dear children, I call you to be active participants in the community of My Son Jesus. He established His Church as a community of believers who help each other and pray together often especially every Sunday. Pray often, My sons and daughters, to receive the graces to resist all these temptations and to remain in close union with My Son and with Me. Jesus, who died for you on the cross, wants to save you all. Come to Me and I will take you to Him. I love you and bless you."

"Remain always united to Me"


Dear Friends, God's Free Children in Christ


I mean that as long as the heir is not of age, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything, but he is under the supervision of guardians and administrators until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were not of age, were enslaved to the elemental powers of the world. But when the fullness of time had come,


God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption. As proof that we are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. Galatians 4:1-7

 


Here is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "Before My coming into the world, all the people were in darkness and lived as slaves. They were under the power of the evil one because of the sin of your first parents and all lived in sin. In those days no one could reach salvation.


It was in the fullness of time that I came into the world. The Father had already announced the coming of the Savior after the grave sin of Adam and Eve. However, it was important to prepare the people for My coming. He selected Abraham and through him He built up a nation of His children. They came to believe in the Father and lived for most of the time as His people. I, your Savior, came to be born and to belong to that nation, the Jewish Nation. My Mother was a Jewish woman and My stepfather too. All the holy people of this nation were awaiting the coming of the Messiah for hundreds of years.


I came into the world to make you all the beloved children of the Father and My brothers and sisters filled with the Holy Spirit. I ransomed you from sin by My Passion and death on the cross and by My resurrection from the dead. Together with the Father I sent the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and all those gathered in the upper room. You are indeed the beloved children of God and heir to heaven. Remain always united to Me."

"I want you all with Me"


Dear Friends,


Faith and Liberty Realize then that it is those who have faith who are children of Abraham. Scripture, which saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham, saying, "Through you shall all the nations be blessed."


Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith. For all who depend on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not persevere in doing all the things written in the book of the law." And that no one is justified before God by the law is clear, for "the one who is righteous by faith will live." But the law does not depend on faith; rather, "the one who does these things will live by them." Christ ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree," that the blessing of Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:7-14

 


Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "It is a fact that Abraham was justified because of his faith in God. He believed although he did not see. God the Father told him to leave his country and to travel to a foreign country and he believed and went where the Father led him. He had no children because his wife was barren but God promised him a child and Isaac was born. The Father told him that in time his children would be as many as the sand on the seashore and you know that at the time of the return of the Jewish people from exile in Egypt there were thousands of Jews all descendants of Abraham.


Faith is the most important gift that you can receive and you have to live by faith. Those who believe in Me, your Lord and Savior, and follow Me will receive the gift for which they were born. That gift is life everlasting in heaven with the Father, with Me, His Son, with the Holy Spirit, together with My Mother, all the angels and saints. You were all created for everlasting happiness. I want you all with Me so cooperate with My graces and you will one day enter heaven."

"I will lead you" Dear Friends,


Faith and Works We, who are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles, yet who know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin?


Of course not! But if I am building up again those things that I tore down, then I show myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing." Galatians 2:15-21

 


Here is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "My friends, I love you. What good is it for a person to do many good things if he or she does not believe in Me? If you have rejected Me, there will be no salvation for you. You remember that I could not do anything in My hometown of Nazareth because the people refused to believe in Me. Justification comes through faith in Me and not by following the law. It is a fact that a person who believes in Me and does good deeds to help others will receive great merit. All believers are to follow Me and they will be rewarded.


If one does not believe in Me, how can that person be freed from his or her sins? Such a person remains a sinner and those sins are not absolved. It is the person who has great faith and love in Me that will be pardoned and I will come and dwell in his or her heart. You all need to grow in faith and to get rid of all your doubts. It is through faith and love that you will grow in holiness and I will lead you to the summit of the mountain. I want you all close to Me obeying My words every day. I will lead you up the right path and you will have peace. I bless you all."

"Pray for the great gift of faith for these people"


Dear Friends,


Paul's Call by Christ


Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin. For I did not receive it from a human being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it, and progressed in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my race, since I was even more a zealot for my ancestral traditions.


But when God, who from my mother's womb had set me apart and called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him to the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; rather, I went into Arabia and then returned to Damascus.


Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to confer with Kephas and remained with him for fifteen days. But I did not see any other of the apostles, only James the brother of the Lord. As to what I am writing to you, behold, before God, I am not lying. Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. And I was unknown personally to the churches of Judea that are in Christ; they only kept hearing that "the one who once was persecuting us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." So they glorified God because of me. Galatians 1:11-24


I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at 9:30 a.m. at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and in the evening I was at the prayer meeting at our church. There was a good group present. I will leave for Quebec City early tomorrow morning and I will not be back before September 28 in the evening. Please pray that this trip goes well.


Here is a message from Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,


"St. Paul is a saint and in heaven today but he was not always a believer. He was born a Jew and lived strictly as a Jew. When he heard about the Church I founded, he tried with all his strength to destroy it. He was present at the stoning of St. Stephen and he traveled around arresting the Christians and throwing them in jail. However, one day on his way to Damascus, he received a great experience. I intervened in his life by showing him that indeed I am the Messiah. He was converted and began to work hard for the conversion of the Gentiles, the non-Jews.


If St. Paul a great persecutor of the Church was converted, then many other non-believers can be converted too. There are thousands of conversions every day throughout the world. Pray, My friends, for this intention every day. I want that all the people of the world may come to believe in Me and follow Me and one day they will be with Me in heaven. Answer all the questions of the people who come to you or send them to someone who can help them. Pray for the great gift of faith for all these people."

"You are to worship God alone"


Dear Friends,


Loyalty to the Gospel


I am amazed that you are so quickly forsaking the one who called you by the grace of Christ for a different gospel (not that there is another). But there are some who are disturbing you and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than the one that we preached to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said before, and now I say again, if anyone preaches to you a gospel other than the one that you received, let that one be accursed! Am I now currying favor with human beings or God? Or am I seeking to please people?


If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ. Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin. For I did not receive it from a human being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:6-12


It was sunny most of the day yesterday but it was windy and cold for this time of the year. We had no rain during the night but today it will be cloudy and colder.


I was at the Eucharistic Adoration at the Immaculate Conception Parish Church last evening from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. I was in prayer with Jesus and He confirmed what He told me a few weeks ago about the miracle that will take place in the future. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. and in the evening I hope to be at the prayer meeting at our church. Early Friday morning I will leave for Quebec with my driver Ceo.


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


"St. Paul was really amazed that some of the Galatians should forsake the Gospel he taught them for any teaching which goes against the Gospel. There are always false teachers spreading a teaching that is contrary to what I brought you when I was on earth. Instead of the Gospel they teach the laws of the Jews or the false laws that originated in society. There are some today who go around preaching that it is not a sin to kill the unborn and they call people to enter New Age, a very false religion, which does not come from Me.


There is only one Gospel which I left My Church and through the graces I won, My Church will be faithful to this Gospel until the end. There is only one, the successor of St. Peter, who has infallible authority to teach the truth and only the truth. Listen to him and be a member of the church he governs. It is the truth that there is a baby in the womb of his mother from the day of conception. All are to respect that life created by God the Father, Himself. New Age teaches that each person is god, when the truth is that there is only one God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who is the Creator, the Savior and the Sanctifier of the peoples of the world. You are to worship God alone and no one else."

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL


"This Fountain [of the Holy Eucharist] is a fountain of light, shedding abundant rays of truth. And beside it the angelic powers from on high have taken their stand, gazing on the beauty of its streams, since they perceive more clearly than we the power of what lies before us and its unapproachable dazzling rays" (St. John Chrysostom).

 


Mother Teresa - It doesn't matter because I belong so totally to Him that He can do just what He wants to do with me.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Be tranquil as far as your soul is concerned. Confide totally, more and more, in Jesus. Make an effort to unite yourself always and in everything to Divine Will, both in happy and sad events, and don't worry about the future.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Two kinds of truth "There are two kinds of truth; speculative and practical. Speculative truth is the truth of knowing, such as comes to us from philosophy, mechanics, physics and chemistry. Practical truth, however, is concerned with doing and living, such as ethics and morals."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Once, the Image was being exhibited over the altar during the Corpus Christi procession [June 20, 1935]. When the priest exposed the Blessed Sacrament, and the choir began to sing, the rays from the Image pierced the Sacred Host and spread out all over the world. Then I heard these words: These rays of mercy will pass through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out through all the world. At these words, profound joy invaded my soul. (441)


Once when my confessor [Father Sopocko] was saying Mass, I saw, as usual, the Child Jesus on the altar, from the time of the Offertory. However, a moment before the Elevation, the priest vanished from my sight, and Jesus alone remained. When the moment of the Elevation approached, Jesus took the Host and the chalice in His little hands and raised them together, looking up to heaven, and a moment later I again saw my confessor. I asked the Child Jesus where the priest had been during the time I had not seen him. Jesus answered, In My Heart. But I could not understand anything more of these words of Jesus. (442)

Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL


Today Our Lady asks that our lives be an example of good for others:


Dear children, I invite you to pray with the heart so that your prayer may be a true conversation with God.


I ask that each one of you dedicate more time to God, for Satan is strong and wants to deceive you in many ways. Therefore, dear children, pray every day that your lives be a source of goodness not only for your own benefit, but also for all those you meet I am with you and I am protecting you even though Satan wants to destroy my plans and all that the heavenly Father wishes to accomplish here (Monthly Message September 25, 1990.)


And at the Last Supper, Jesus sets an example for his apostles:


After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you?" (Jn 13 :12-15).

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 09 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET


"God waits for us. ... In this very moment when we are celebrating the Eucharist, when we are inaugurating the Synod on the Eucharist, He comes to meet us. ... Will this find a reply? Or does it happen with us as with the vineyard, about which God says in Isaiah: 'He expected it to yield fine grapes; wild grapes were all it yielded'? Is our Christian life often not perhaps rather vinegar than wine? Is it self-pity, conflict, indifference?" (Pope Benedict XVI, Oct. 2, 2005).


"Before . . . Christ glorified and enthroned, let everyone fall to their knees in adoration" (Pope John Paul II, August 18, 2004).

 


Mother Teresa - And this is just a simple way for us to be holy.


Meditations by Padre Pio - I beg you not to worry about what I am suffering at present and will suffer in the future. No matter how severe this suffering is, when it is placed before the good that awaits us, it is always a delight for the soul.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Pride is the child of ignorance


"Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire. So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Often during Mass, I see the Lord in my soul; I feel His presence which pervades my being. I sense His divine gaze; I have long talks with Him without saying a word; I know what His divine Heart desires, and I always do what will please Him the most. I love Him to distraction, and I feel that I am being loved by God.


At those times when I meet with God deep within myself, I feel so happy that I do not know how to express it. Such moments are short, for the soul could not bear it for long, as separation from the body would be inevitable. Though these moments are very short, their power, however, which is transmitted to the soul, remains with it for a very long time.


Without the least effort, I experience the profound recollection which then envelops me-and it does not diminish even if I talk with people, nor does it interfere with the performance of my duties. I feel the constant presence of God without any effort of my soul. I know that I am united with Him as closely as a drop of water is united with the bottomless ocean. (411)


When I was attending Mass in a certain church with another sister, I felt the greatness and majesty of God; I felt the church was permeated by God. His majesty enveloped me and, though it terrified me, it filled me with peace and joy. I knew that nothing could oppose His will. Oh, if only all souls knew who is living in our churches, there would not be so many outrages and so much disrespect in these holy places! (409)


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. -


Oct 9 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET


Decrying the lack of perseverance of some, the Madonna once said :


Many have begun to pray for healing here at Medjugorje, but when they return to their homes, they abandon prayer, forget, and also lose many graces (Special Messages September 12, 1986).


Paul also exhorts us to persevere :


Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the holy ones (Eph 6:18)


Reflection:


The virtue of perseverance is exemplified in the life of a man who went blind at the age of three, in the year 1812. When he was old enough, he was sent to a school for the blind in Paris, which was near to his village. There Louis was taught to read by touching large raised letters of the alphabet with his fingers.


He was so successful that he soon found himself teaching others to read by the same method.


But it was not easy. Some people just could not do it, so he determined to invent another method by which blind people could read. He worked and persevered for many a long hour to try to perfect a special alphabet for the blind. When Louis Braille was 20 years old he succeeded.


Application:


"Great works are performed not by strength" wrote Samuel Johnson, "but by perseverance." It is a great Christian virtue, as both Christ and Our Lady attest in our readings.


Today, and especially when you feel drained or weakened, pray for perseverance. Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 08 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU


"I thirst for Heaven and for the Eucharist. I thirst for love. I thirst for you who are the Life of my life. I thirst for you who are as an Ocean of hope to me, a river to bring me infinite graces, the profound source of the science of the Cross, and the spring of every consolation and the fountain of all that is pure" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).


Mother Teresa - Total surrender to God must come in small details just as it comes in big details. It's nothing but that single word, " Yes, I accept whatever you give, and I give whatever you take. "


Meditations by Padre Pio - I have nothing to complain of in particular, except this bitter agitation of your, which prevents you from tasting al the sweetness of the cross. Correct this, and continue to do what you have been doing so well up to now.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Though He Who was rich became poor for our sake, yet He would not be an earthly king by force. A poor blind man could stop Him on the roadway to be cured of his blindness, but not all the masses with their universal acclaim and suffrage could make Him king. Then He laid His finger on their error, `You seek Me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied' (John 6: 26). They sought Him not for the higher part of their being, but for their stomachs; not for His morality, but for their economics; not for His saving grace, but because of the dormancy of the spiritual in their souls."


Beware of those who promise the world!


"When loaves are more valued than the Divine Power Which multiplied them; when streams are more admired than the fountains that produced them, the world will accept any kind of a king who promises bread and plenty."

 


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus likes to intervene in the smallest details of our life, and He often fulfills secret wishes of mine that I sometimes hide from Him, although I know that from Him nothing can be hidden. There is a custom among us of drawing by lot, on New Year's Day, special Patrons for ourselves for the whole year. In the morning during meditation, there arose within me a secret desire that the Eucharistic Jesus be my special Patron for this year also, as in the past.


But, hiding this desire from my Beloved, I spoke to Him about everything else but that. When we came to refectory for breakfast, we blessed ourselves and began drawing our patrons. When I approached the holy cards on which the names of the patrons were written, without hesitation I took one, but I didn't read the name immediately as I wanted to mortify myself for a few minutes.


Suddenly, I heard a voice in my soul: I am your patron. Read. I looked at once at the inscription and read, "Patron for the year 1935-the Most Blessed Eucharist." My heart leapt with joy, and I slipped quietly away from the sisters and went for a short visit before the Blessed Sacrament, where I poured out my heart. But Jesus sweetly admonished me that I should be at that moment together with the sisters. I went immediately in obedience to the rule. (360)

OCT 8 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU


Today the Virgin speaks of conversion and the will of God :


Dear children, today I want to thank you for all your sacrifices and prayers. I give you my special motherly blessing.


I call each of you to decide for God. From day to day , discover His will for you in prayer. I wish, dear children, to call all of you to full conversion so that there may be joy in your hearts (Monthly Message June 25, 1990).


And in John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of doing the will of God :


Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me (Jn 6 :37-38).


Reflection:

 


The hardest thing I have to do now, each day, is to decide what is God's will rather than what is my will.


So the prayer I say most often is, first of all,"


God, please tell me what you want." And second, "


Give me the strength to do your will."


Application:


In our gospel reading today, Christ said, "I have come down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me." And the Blessed Mother has urged us to "discover God's will for you in prayer." To this end, offer the following prayer today by St. Jane Frances de Chantal :


Lord, what is your will that I do? I am completely open to your plan for me. I desire to live only in you and to be guided by you forever. Grant that your holy will be carried out perfectly in me.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 07 - Our Lady of the Rosary


Idea inspired by Ecclesia de Eucharistia to help celebrate the Year of the Eucharist:


"Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" (Jn 6:68)."Here [in the Holy Eucharist] is the Church's treasure, the heart of the world, the pledge of the fulfilment for which each man and woman, even unconsciously, yearns" (59). Plan a parish mission on the awesome gift of the Holy Eucharist and graces and benefits of Eucharistic Adoration for all.


"During Our Lord's earthly life, 'He went about doing good, and healing . ..' (Acts 10:38). These works of love He still performs in our souls through the Holy Eucharist" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).


Mother Teresa - To be holy doesn't mean to do extraordinary things, to understand big things, but it is a simple acceptance, because I have given myself to God, because I belong to Him my total surrender. He could put me here. He could put me there. He can use me. He can not use me.


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


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We are only free when we know the truth!


" The only ones who are truly free from the bondage and the burden of self are those who hold to a truth. `The truth will make you free,' said Our Divine Lord (John 8: 32). Only the boxer who knows the truth about fighting is free to stay on his feet. Only the one who knows the truths of engineering is free to build to build a bridge that will stand. The lover of truth is under an eternal law of rectitude; as he submits to it, he enjoys peace. Truth is not something that we invent; if we do, it is a lie; rather truth is something we discover, like love. "

 


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - One evening as I entered my cell, I saw the Lord Jesus exposed in the monstrance under the open sky, as it seemed. At the feet of Jesus I saw my confessor, and behind him a great number of the highest ranking ecclesiastics, clothed in vestments the like of which I had never seen except in this vision; and behind them, groups of religious from various orders; and further still I saw enormous crowds of people, which extended far beyond my vision.


I saw the two rays coming out from the Host, as in the image, closely united but not intermingled; and they passed through the hands of my confessor, and then through the hands of the clergy and from their hands to the people, and then they returned to the Host... and at that moment I saw myself once again in the cell which I had just entered. (344)


That same day, when I was in church waiting for confession, I saw the same rays issuing from the monstrance and spreading throughout the church. This lasted all through the service. After the Benediction. [the rays shone out] to both sides and returned again to the monstrance. Their appearance was bright and transparent like crystal. I asked Jesus that He deign to light the fire of His love in all souls that were cold. Beneath these rays a heart will grow warm even if it were like a block of ice; even if it were hard as a rock, it will crumble into dust. (370)

Message of September 25, 2003


"Dear children! Also today I call you to come closer to my heart. Only in this way, will you comprehend the gift of my presence here among you. I desire, little children, to lead you to the heart of my Son Jesus; but you resist and do not desire to open your hearts to prayer. Again, little children, I call you not to be deaf but to comprehend my call, which is salvation for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."


OCT 7 - OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY


Of the rosary, Our Lady said :


Dear children, today I invite you to begin to pray the rosary with a living faith. Only in that way will be able to help you. You wish to receive graces, but you do not pray. I am not able to help you if you do not decide to begin.


I invite you, dear children, to pray the rosary in such a way that it will be a commitment for you, achieved in joy. In this way, you will understand the reason why I have been with you for such a long time. I want to teach you to pray (Weekly Message June 12, 1986).


In Luke's gospel, the risen Christ joins his disciples on the road to Emmaus :


Then he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.


As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went to stay with them. When he was at the table with them he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.


Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?" That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together (Lk 24 :25-33).


Reflection:


In this story we find that the risen Christ "interpreted for them every passage of scripture which referred to him," so that his disciples would understand the meaning of his life, death, and resurrection.


In meditating on the mysteries of the rosary, Jesus also helps us to interpret and understand the meaning of his life and death. And today Our Lady as well says to, "let the faithful meditate each day on the life of Jesus while praying the rosary." It is not necessary to concentrate on the repetitive prayers of the rosary (which serve as a type of mantra), but to let the quiet rhythm of the prayers keep us centered on the particular mystery on which we are meditating.


The more we reflect on the lives of Jesus and Mary through the mysteries, the more we become like them in mind and heart. By means of the rosary, the Spirit of God gradually transfigures our hearts and minds to resemble those of Christ and his Mother.


Application:


Pray the scriptural rosary if you have a book with the verses, or if not, pray the traditional rosary truly from the heart, "meditating on the life of Jesus," as Mary asks of us.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 05 - DRAW CLOSE TO GOD

 


St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968), Priest, Stigmatist, Mystic, Italy —Sept. 23


The patron of Eucharistic adorers, St. Padre Pio was passionately in love with the Holy Eucharist. He wrote: "Let me recognize you as your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the eucharistic Communion [may] be the light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart."


"In the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist, in this sacrament of love, we have true life, a blessed life, and true happiness." "Let us spend our whole lives giving thanks to the divine Father who, in an excess of love for us, sent His only begotten Son and our most sweet Lover. Protected, covered and defended by the Presence of this dear Lord, let us stand before Him [in the Holy Eucharist] and pray with the humility of the creature and the confidence and freedom of the child."


Mother Teresa - We must say, " I belong to you. You can do whatever you like. "


Meditations by Padre Pio - Drive away, once and for all, every perplexity and anxiety, and enjoy in peace, the most sweet pains of the Beloved.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - True liberalism is intended to seek the truths of God " Submission is one of the deepest needs of the human heart. After a century and a half of false liberalism, in which it was denied that anything is true, and that it makes no difference what you believe, the world reacted to totalitarianism. It grew tired of its freedom, just as children in progressive schools grow tired of their license to do whatever they please.


Freedom fatigues those who want to shirk responsibility. Then it is they look for some false god into whose hands they can throw themselves, so they will never have to think or make decisions for themselves. Nazism, Fascism, and Communism came into being during the twentieth century, as a reaction against false liberalism. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -The next day, I felt very weak, but experienced no further suffering. After Holy Communion, I saw the Lord Jesus just as I had seen Him during one adoration.


The Lord's gaze pierced my soul through and through, and not even the least speck of dust escaped His notice. And I said to Jesus, "Jesus, I thought You were going to take me."


And Jesus answered, My will has not yet been fully accomplished in you; you will still remain on earth, but not for long. I am well pleased with your trust, but your love should be more ardent. Pure love gives the soul strength at the very moment of dying. When I was dying on the cross, I was not thinking about Myself, but about poor sinners, and I prayed for them to My Father. I want your last moments to be completely similar to Mine on the cross. There is but one price at which souls are bought, and that is suffering united to My suffering on the cross. Pure love understands these words; carnal love will never understand them. (324)

OCT 5 - DRAW CLOSE TO GOD


Our Lady's monthly message for February, 1992 :


Dear children, today I invite you to draw still closer to God through prayer. Only that way will I be able to help you and to protect you from every attack of Satan.


I am with you and I intercede for you with God, that he protect you. But I need your prayers and your "Yes."


Your get lost easily in material and human things and forget that God is your greatest friend. Therefore, my dear little children, draw little children, draw close to God so that the can protect you and guard you from every evil (Monthly Message February 25, 1992).


And in Matthew's gospel, Jesus instructs his disciples in prayer :


But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you (Mt. 6 :6).


Reflection:


It is a striking statement that Our Lady makes today that only through prayer can she help us. It is a reiteration of previous messages in which she has pleaded for our prayer, for it seems to be imperative to her. So much is at stake :personal peace, Our Lady's help in our lives, protection form the Evil One, the healing of mind or body; and more generally, the realization of Mary's plans in Medjugorje : the mitigation of the secrets, peace among nations, and the salvation of souls.


The Madonna has said that she is powerless without our prayer! Just think of it :


we have it within our power to bring peace not only to our own hearts, but the nations of the world. It is as if Our Lady magnifies our prayer a million-fold through her intercession, and so works miracles. But she must have our prayer; our free will in this regard either binds or frees her hands, either opens or closes the tabernacles of grace.


Application:


It has been said that, "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." Today, pray to understand more fully the power of your prayer and Our Lady's dependence upon it.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 04 - ST.FRANCIS OF ASSISI


St. Francis of Assisi, Deacon, Founder of Franciscans (c. 1181-1226),Italy—Oct. 4 Devoted to a life of Eucharistic Adoration and service of the poor, St. Francis wrote: "For One in such a lofty position to stoop so low is a marvel that is staggering. What sublime humility and humble sublimeness, that the Lord of the Universe, the Divine Son of God, should stoop as to hide Himself under the appearance of bread for our salvation!" "See the humility of God, brothers, and pour out your hearts before Him."


"Father, you have given us the gift of your living Son, and you allow him to come to us again and again in the Host . . . . Let us welcome Him in the fullness of His divine power" (Adrienne von Speyr).


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.


Padre Pio - Let us walk always, even with slow steps, as long as we have good intentions, we cannot but make progress. No, it is not necessary to be always attentive to everything for the exercise of the virtues.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - "There are two ways of knowing how good God is. One is never to lose Him, the other is to lose Him and find Him again."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O living Host, my one and only strength, fountain of love and mercy, embrace the whole world, fortify faint souls. Oh, blessed be the instant and the moment when Jesus left us His most merciful Heart! (223)


To suffer without complaining, to bring comfort to others, and to drown my own sufferings in the most Sacred Heart of Jesus! I will spend all my free moments at the feet of [Our Lord in] the Blessed Sacrament. At the feet of Jesus, I will seek light, comfort, and strength. I will show my gratitude unceasingly to God for His great mercy towards me, never forgetting the favors He has bestowed on me, especially the grace of a vocation.


I will hide myself among the sisters like a little violet among lilies. I want to blossom for my Lord and Maker, to forget about myself, to empty myself totally for the sake of immortal souls-this is my delight. (224) Prayer during the Mass on the day of the perpetual vows. Today I place my heart on the paten where Your Heart has been placed, O Jesus, and today I offer myself together with You to God, Your Father and mine, as a sacrifice of love and praise. Father of Mercy, look upon the sacrifice of my heart, but through the wound in the Heart of Jesus. (239)

OCT 4 - ST.FRANCIS OF ASSISI


In an early message in 1981, Our Lady said :


God has chosen St. Francis as his elected one. It would be good to imitate his life. In the meantime, we must realize what God ordains us to do (First Years Oct 7, 1981).


The Life of Francis was itself a hymn of praise to God; as the psalmist sings :


Kings of the earth and all peoples,
Princes and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and women alike,
old and young together!
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For his name alone is exalted;
His glory is above earth and heaven.
Psalm 148 :11-13
Reflection:


The Franciscans of Medjugorje are deeply devoted to their founder and patron, St. Francis of Assisi. His simplicity, poverty, and holiness are the ideals that have guided them for centuries. The Vibrant faith of the Catholics of Yugoslavia has been nourished and protected by the Franciscans, even in times of great persecution under the Ottoman Turks and, more recently, under a Communist regime. Many gave their lives in service to God and his people.


Let us listen to Francis' own words which give us a glimpse of his personality.


Let us pray with him :


The Prayer of St. Francis


Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness,light; and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.


Application:


On this feast day, let us pray for the gentle spirit of St. Francis, and also for his heroic courage, which his followers has imitated so well over the centuries.


Mirjana's apparition on the 2nd of every month


Hi there dear prayer group family,


The second of the month Our Lady gives Mirjana a message regarding unbelievers and today is the day especially that we pray for them.


One thing I need to let you know is that the messages for the entire world are given on the 25th of each month through the visionary Marija as per Our Lady's instructions. Mirjana's 2nd of the month messages on the other hand are not generally shared outside of the village and mainly for those who are there. Mirjana's messages are for the purpose of praying for unbelievers, and should be taken in the context that it is meant for those who are far from God, those who are unbelievers.


Since Our Lady said the 25th of the month message is for the entire world, the parish of St. James does not officially post these 2nd of the month messages to the whole world. These messages are good for us to know so we can pray for those who are far from God.

Our Lady's message given by Mirjana on October 2, 2009


Dear Children, As I look at you, my heart seizes with pain. Where are you going my children? Have you sunk so deeply into sin that you do not know how to stop yourselves? You justify yourselves with sin and live according to it. Kneel down beneath the Cross and look at my Son. He conquered sin and died so that you, my children, may live. Permit me to help you not to die but to live with my Son forever.


Thank you!


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 03 - GROW IN LOVE

 


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 - Don't be upset when you are unable to meditate, receive Communion or carry out all the pious practices. In the meantime, try to make up for this in different manner, by keeping yourself united to Our Lord with a loving will, with ejaculatory prayers and Spiritual Communions.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The Church can not stand still and wait! "The world is not as irreligious as it seems at first glance. Religion has moved out of churches, to a large extent, to cope with our frustrations, despairs, shames and neuroses. The only mistake the churches can make in the new order is to assume that everybody must come to them instead of their going to everybody."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Once, I desired very much to receive Holy Communion, but I had a certain doubt, and I did not go. I suffered greatly because of this. It seemed to me that my heart would burst from the pain. When I set about my work, my heart full of bitterness, Jesus suddenly stood by me and said, My daughter, do not omit Holy Communion unless you know well that your fall was serious; apart from this, no doubt must stop you from uniting yourself with Me in the mystery of My love. Your minor faults will disappear in My love like a piece of straw thrown into a great furnace. Know that you grieve Me much when you fail to receive Me in Holy Communion. (156)


One morning after Holy Communion, I heard this voice, I desire that you accompany Me when I go to the sick. I answered that I was quite willing, but after a moment of reflection I started wondering how I was going to do so; the sisters of the second choir* do not accompany the Blessed Sacrament. It is always the sister-directresses who go. I thought to myself: Jesus will find a way. Shortly afterwards, Mother Raphael sent for me and said, "Sister, you will accompany the Lord Jesus when the priest goes to visit the sick." And all through the time of my probation I carried the light, accompanying the Lord and, as a knight of Jesus, I always tried to gird myself with an iron belt, for it would not be proper to accompany the King in everyday dress. And I offered this mortification for the sick. (183)


*At that time the Congregation was divided into two choirs, the so-called director sisters and coadjutor sisters. The membership to one or the other was decided by the Congregation's governing body on the basis of the candidate's intellectual level, age, and abilities. The director sisters' task was to manage the Congregation and the penitents' home. The coadjutor sisters did the manual work and served as helpers to the director sisters, especially in the area of physical labor.

 


Quote of the Day Chastity is the lily among virtues and makes men almost equal to angels. -St. Francis de Sales


Today's Tidbit Capital sins are also known as deadly sins. These are moral faults which, if habitual, give rise to many more sins. These sins are pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth. These sins are countered by the virtues of humility, liberality, chastity, meekness, temperance, brotherly love and diligence.


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.


OCT 3 - GROW IN LOVE


The Queen of Peace speaks of love today :


Dear children, I desire that you grow in love. Just as a flower cannot grow without water, so you cannot grow without God's grace. Everyday, then, you should ask God for his blessing so that you can grow normally and that your actions will be in union with his will (Weekly Message April 10, 1986).


In Luke's gospel, Christ extends his love to a leper:


Once, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground and begged him, "Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean." Then Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I do choose. Be made clean." Immediately the leprosy left him (Lk 5:12-13).


Reflection:


Because it was often highly contagious and there was no known cure, leprosy was feared disease. (Sometimes called Hansen's disease, leprosy still exists today in a less contagious, treatable form.) To prevent the spread of infection, the priests monitored the disease, banishing, from the community those persons whose leprosy was active and readmitting lepers whose disease was in remission. Lepers were considered untouchable since people feared contracting their disease. Yet Jesus reached out and touched this leper out of love, and the man was healed .


We may consider certain people untouchable or repulsive, yet Christ and his Mother call us to reach out and touch them with God's love so that we may both be healed. Application:


Look about today for those who are in special need of your care and concern, even "the least of God's children." Keep before Christ a prayer intention for the most rejected and despised of his people.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 02 - THE GUARDIAN ANGELS


"The Blood of Christ is his Sacrifice applied to us; it enters the souls of the redeemed; it is the inextinguishable source of all heroism. Even in the face of everyday events which seem to threaten our security, we know where to find strength, perseverance and certainty. This we have learnt from those who, responding generously to the Saviour's call and offering him their own lives and blood, have striven to find and keep that peace which the world refuses to understand, which is the work of God" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).


Mother Teresa - We are but instruments that God deigns to use; these instruments bring forth fruit in the measure that they are united to God...... We obtain grace in proportion to our sanctity, to our fervor, and to our degree of union with our Lord.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Live right and you'll always be right! " What is driving people to sleeping tablets is to some extent driving them to psychoanalytical couches - they are in flight from what is distasteful and what cannot be blotted out - and most often it is unrequited guilt. We point out these sad facts to remind those who are full of fears and anxieties that there is another remedy besides sleeping tablets, and that is consciously confronting our guilt and asking the pardon of God. Another way is to live right, so we won't have to try to forget. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, You alone know what persecutions I suffer, and this only because I am being faithful to You and following Your orders. You are my strength; sustain me that I may always carry out what You ask of me. Of myself I can do nothing, but when You sustain me, all difficulties are nothing for me. O my Lord, I can see very well that from the time when my soul first received the capacity to know You, my life has been a continual struggle which has become increasingly intense.


Every morning during meditation, I prepare myself for the whole day's struggle. Holy Communion assures me that I will win the victory; and so it is. I fear the day when I do not receive Holy Communion. This Bread of the Strong gives me all the strength I need to carry on my mission and the courage to do whatever the Lord asks of me. The courage and strength that are in me are not of me, but of Him who lives in me-it is the Eucharist.


O my Jesus, the misunderstandings are so great; sometimes, were it not for the Eucharist, I would not have the courage to go any further along the way You have marked out for me. (91)

 


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


OCT 2 - THE GUARDIAN ANGELS


With reference to angels, the Blessed Mother once said to Jelena :


Today I rejoice with all my angels ! The first part of my plan has been realized (Locutionist Jelena & Mirjana March 21, 1984).


The Book of Exodus refers to angels as guardians :


I am going to send an angel in front of you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Be attentive to him and listen to his voice (Ex 23 :20-21).


Reflection:


The Queen of Peace refers to angels a great deal in Medjugorje, and is even more often seen with them by the visionaries. They are always with her on Christmas, Easter, and other feast days.


That we each have a guardian angel has been a belief of the church for centuries, going back as far as the Old Testament, as our readings today indicated. St. Bernard, the great scholar and Doctor of the Church,


said the following of them : "The angels are here; they are at your side, they are with you, present on your behalf. They are here to protect you and to serve you."


Application:


Today, let us honor our guardian angels on their feast with the following prayer :
O most faithful companion,
Appointed by God to be my guardian,
And who never leaves my side,
How shall I thank you for your faithfulness and love
And for the benefits which you have obtained for me!
You watch over me when I sleep;
You comfort me when I am sad;
Your avert the dangers that threaten me
And warn me of those to come;
You withdraw me from sin and inspire me to good;
you exhort me to penance when I fall and reconcile met to God.
I beg you not to leave me.
Comfort me in adversity,
Restrain me in prosperity,
restrain me in prosperity,
defend me in danger,
and assist me temptations.
Offer up in the sight of the Divine Majesty
My prayers and petitions,
And all my works of piety,
And help me to persevere in grace
Until I come to everlasting life. Amen.
Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 01 - The month of Mary


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. "


Meditations by Padre Pio - 1 Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Why do we try so hard to forget?


" Memory is the source of unhappiness to many people today; hence their attempts to stifle it with alcohol and drugs. What is the explanation for the vast amount of sleeping tablets sold to the American public? It has been pointed out that enough are sold to put every person in the United States to sleep twenty-two nights a year, or to put nine million to sleep three hundred and sixty-five nights a year. Undoubtedly, some of this is medically necessary for the easing of pain, but more likely most of the pills are taken in an effort to `forget' or `get away from it all.'


The memory has the peculiar trick of never asking our permission for anything it shoots up into consciousness; sometimes the more displeasing the ideas are, and the harder we try to forget them, the quicker and the more often they flash before our eyes. It is a psychological fact that the more the mind fears a thing, the more that fearful thing comes like a ghost out of the past to torture it.


What we hate and dread we remember best, and nothing that we present to our mind can blot it out. No wonder Macbeth in desperation asked his physician: `Canst thou not...pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow; raze out the written troubles of the brain...which weigh upon the heart?' (Macbeth, Act V, Scene iii, Line 40)."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, give me strength to endure suffering so that I may not make a wry face when I drink the cup of bitterness. Help me Yourself to make my sacrifice pleasing to You. May it not be tainted by my self-love, even though it extend over many years. May purity of intention make it pleasing to You, fresh and full of life. This life of mine is a ceaseless struggle, a constant effort to do Your holy will; but may everything that is in me, both my misery and my strength, give praise to You, O Lord. (1740)


When I met with the Lord, I said to Him, "You are fooling me, Jesus; You show me the open gate of heaven, and again You leave me on earth." The Lord said to me, When, in heaven, you see these present days, you will rejoice and will want to see as many of them as possible. I am not surprised, My daughter, that youcannot understand this now, because your heart is overflowing with pain and longing for Me. Your vigilance pleases Me. Let My word be enough for you; it will not be long now. And my soul found itself once again in exile. I lovingly united myself to the will of God, submitting myself to His gracious decrees. (1787)

 


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


Oct 1 - THE MONTH OF MARY


The Blessed Mother speaks of grace today:


Dear children, pray during this month. God has allowed me to help you everyday with graces, in order to protect you from evil. This month is mine. I would like to give it to you. Pray and God will give you the graces that you ask for. I will support your requests. (WM 10-25-84).


St. Paul also speaks of grace:


But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man's trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many (Romans 5:15).


Reflection:


The month of October is traditionally dedicated to the Mother of God, and parishes often honor her with votive Masses, community rosaries, and other special devotions. We are thankful that the effect or merit of these prayers are her special gift to us, for she says, "this is my month -- I want to give it to you."


In today's message she speaks several times of "grace," meaning "favor," the love or the magnanimity of God. Mary herself is often the mediator of this grace: "God allows me every day to help you with graces..." These cannot be earned, but are pure gifts: "But if the choice is by grace, it is not because of their works -- otherwise grace would not be grace" (Romans 11:6).


Although a gift, God always chooses to give his grace to all who ask. Our Lady says, "You just pray and God will give you the graces you are seeking." Other than this, the most important thing is to respond to the graces given: "As your fellow workers," St. Paul writes, "we beg you not to receive the grace of God in vain" (2 Cor 6:1). Indeed, grace and works of charity are the heavenly treasure we are asked to store up instead of earthly wealth; in this task, we have the Blessed Virgin's words: "I will help along with it."


Application:


Let us pray that this Marian month of October will be a time of special grace for us as we honor the Queen of Peace, the bearer of God's grace.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 06 - PRAY AND RENEW YOURSELVES


"Sacrament of my God, my Jesus, my life and my love, how I love to be with Thee. Ah, how necessary art Thou to my heart! How sweet and tender are the sentiments Thou excitest in my soul! God of love, divine object of all earthly happiness, what peace I enjoy when near Thee! What holy joy, what transports even amidst the troubles and sorrows of my offenses. Before Thee the universe is in a profound silence! Before Thee all things are as nothing to me; Thou alone, O my Jesus, art all to me." (St. Catherine of Genoa)


Mother Teresa - And this is our strength and this is the joy of the Lord.


Meditations by Padre Pio - May your sermon be continual self-sacrifice; be discreet wherever you go and be like the smile of God.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - A liberal is one who has lost sight of the shore " Self-will always repudiates a truth which challenges it. However successful self-will may be, it is never satisfied; that is why the egotist is always critical. The `head that wears the crown is uneasy,' not because he is tired of the crown, but because he is tired of himself. He has it within his power to do anything he pleases, and this living without boundaries and limitations becomes as dull and stagnant as a swamp. A river must be happier than a swamp because it has banks and boundaries; a swamp is a valley of liberty that lost its shores and became `liberal.' "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - On several occasions, I have learned how some religious defend their own glory under the pretext of being concerned for the glory of God, whereas it is not a question of the glory of God, but of glory of self. O Jesus, how painful this has been for me! What secrets the day of Your judgment will bring to light! How can one steal God's gifts? (1149)


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. -


OCT 6 - PRAY AND RENEW YOURSELVES


Today the Blessed Mother speaks of prayer, love, and the rosary: The rosary is not an ornament for the home, as some often times limit themselves to using it. Tell everyone to pray it (First Years March 18, 1985).


All your prayers touch me very much, especially your daily rosary (Special Message March 18, 1987).


Dear children, I thank you because by your coming here you have helped to fulfill the plan of God. During this time, pray and renew yourselves. Tonight when you go home, pray the Joyful Mysteries in front of the cross (Visionary Prayer Group March 3, 1989).


And in Ephesians, Paul prays for his people :


I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him (Eph 1:15-17).


Reflection:


It has been said that prayer is the most exalted action of which man is capable. In Medjugorje, the Madonna speaks especially of the prayer of the rosary: "Pray, and let the rosary always be in your hands as a sign to Satan that you belong to me." Of the rosary, Fr. Slavko Barbaric once said in a sermon :


Why these one hundred and fifty Hail Mary's? It is simple, really. In the rosary, Our Lady calls us to a form of prayer which is very suitable the present time repetitive, meditative, and biblical.


When you start praying the rosary with your heart, you start learning from Our Lady how you should behave in this life : for example, accepting the Lord's will, as Mary did herself at the Annunciation; or thinking of others, as she did when she visited Elizabeth. The rosary is a means of living with Jesus and his Mother, teaching us about the Christian life.


Application:


Today, pray the rosary which the Mother of God so ardently recommends.


SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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

METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


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


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


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

PADRE PIO MESSAGES


Sept 23 Life is nothing but a continual struggle against one's self, and it does not open to beauty without the price of suffering. Always keep Jesus company in Gethsemane and He will know how to comfort you in the hours of anguish that will come.


Sept 24 There is one thing I absolutely cannot stand and it is this: if I have to rebuke someone, I am always ready; but I cannot bear to see someone else do it. To see someone humiliated or mortified like this is unbearable for me.


Sept 25 May God be pleased to see that these poor creatures truly repent and return to Him. One must truly be a mother towards all those people and, for this reason, have great care for them, because Jesus tells us that there is more festivity in Heaven for the sinner who repents than for the perseverance of 99 just people. These words of the Redeemer are truly comforting to many souls who unfortunately sin, and who then want to repent and return to Jesus.


Sept 26 The woes of humanity: these are thoughts for everyone.


Sept 27 Don't try, excessively, to heal your heart, as your efforts would only make it more infirm. Don't make too great an effort to overcome your temptations, as this violence would only make them stronger. Despise them and don't dwell on them too much.


Sept 28 Do good everywhere, so that everyone can say: "This is a son of Christ." Endure tribulation, sickness and pain for the love of God and for the conversion of poor sinners. Defend the weak, console those who weep.


Sept 29 Don't worry about taking up my time, because the time best spent is that spent in the sanctification of souls, and I don't know how to thank our Heavenly Father when He presents me some souls that I can help in some way.


Sept 30 Never has the thought of revenge crossed my mind. I have prayed for them (the slanderers) and I pray. Perhaps sometimes I have said to the Lord: "Lord if to convert them a punishment is necessary, then give it so that they may be saved."


Medjugorje Day By Day SEPT 27 - ST. VINCENT DE PAUL


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


Meditations by Padre Pio - Don't try, excessively, to heal your heart, as your efforts would only make it more infirm. Don't make too great an effort to overcome your temptations, as this violence would only make them stronger. Despise them and don't dwell on them too much.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Mental parchments patch us to our past


" Lord Bacon and Coleridge both held that nothing that is impressed on the memory ever leaves it. This is evident in persons who in old age are brought before the scenes of their childhood, and immediately names, places and incidents come out from their storehouse of memory and the past is lived again. As old palimpsests bear the original writing under dust or new messages, so the memory retains all that we have seen and heard, said and done. Today is but the product of all our yesterdays, and our present is but the harvest of the past. The fragments of our memory are very much like islands for the moment unconnected. But it may be that they are continuous, as the solid earth itself is continuous if one did but drain off the water from the seas.


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


O my Jesus, from the moment I gave myself completely to You, I have given no thought whatsoever for myself. You may do with me whatever You like. There is only one thing I think about; that is, what do You prefer; what can I do, O Lord, to please You. I listen and watch for each opportunity. It matters not if I am outwardly judged otherwise in this matter... (1493)


Today, since early in the morning, my soul has been in darkness. I cannot ascend to Jesus, and I feel as though I have been forsaken by Him. I will not turn to creatures for light, because I know that they will not enlighten me if Jesus wills to keep me in darkness. I submit myself to His holy will and suffer. Still, the struggle is becoming more and more desperate. During Vespers, I wanted to unite myself with the sisters through prayer. (1496)


Lord, You know that since my youth I have always sought Your will and, recognizing it, have always tried to carry it out. My heart has been accustomed to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, to whom I am faithful. In the midst of the greatest din I have heard the voice of God I always know what is going on in my interior... (1504)


Daily Quote Humility has been regarded by the Saints as the basis and guardian of all virtues. -St.

 


Many saints practice mortification to progress in virtue. This term can be used to refer to any acts of self-discipline, including hardship, austerities, and penances undertaken for the sake of improving the soul. Intention of the Day--Please pray for all teachers.


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.


SEPT 27 - ST. VINCENT DE PAUL Speaking of her plans for us, the Blessed Virgin said:


Dear children, today I want to call all of you to start living a new life from this day on. Dear children, I want you to understand that God has chosen each of you to participate in His great plan for the salvation of mankind. You cannot comprehend how great your role is in God's design (MM 1-25-87)


St. Paul also speaks of God's plan of salvation and our responsibility to participate in it:


Therefore we must pay greater attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. For if the message declared through angels was valid, and every transgression or disobedience received a just penalty, how can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?


It was declared at first through the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him, while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed according to his will (Hebrews 2:1-4).


Reflection: Proclaiming the salvation of God through word and deed was the primary motivation of the life and work of St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660). Ordained a priest in 1600, his work with the poor and his preaching attracted widespread attention. In 1625 he founded his own community, the Congregation of the Mission, dedicated to the care of the poor and the formation of priests.


Eight years later, together with St. Louise de Marillac, he founded the Sisters of Charity, whose main work was care of the sick, of orphans, and children in need.


He once said to his priests:


Do the good that presents itself to be done. I do not say we should go out indiscriminately and take on everything, but rather those things God lets us know he wants of us. We belong to him and not to ourselves. If he increases our work, he will add to our strength as well.


To all his religious he wrote, "It is our duty to prefer the service of the poor to everything else and offer such service as quickly as possible."


Application: In her message today, the Virgin calls us to pray to discern our role in God's plan. Today, simply, pray for the grace of understanding and for the compassion to serve Christ in the poor.


Medjugorje Day By Day SEPT 26 - LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD


Message of September 25, 2005 "Dear children! In love I call you: convert, even though you are far from my heart. Do not forget, I am your mother and I feel pain for each one who is far from my heart; but I do not leave you alone. I believe you can leave the way of sin and decide for holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call."


Message of September 25, 2009


"Dear children, with joy, persistently work on your conversion. Offer all your joys and sorrows to my Immaculate Heart that I may lead you all to my most beloved Son, so that you may find joy in His Heart. I am with you to instruct you and to lead you towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"The tender love of God for the world infused into my soul a need for adoration, respect and love towards the Blessed Sacrament" (Mother Mary of Jesus, Foundress of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice).


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


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


Meditations by Padre Pio - The woes of humanity: these are thoughts for everyone.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We can overload our memories and stall


" God has blessed some people with remarkable powers of retention. It is said that Themistocles knew by heart the names of twenty thousand citizens of Athens. History records that Cyrus knew the name of every soldier in his army. On the other hand, Aristotle held that people who have such vivid memories for details never have good judgment. This may be because images pile up with such rapidity as to destroy the relation between abstract ideas which are essential for judgment. "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my Jesus, although I have such very strong impulsions, I am to act on them slowly, and this only in order not to spoil Your work with my haste. O my Jesus, You give me to know Your mysteries, and You want me to transmit them to other souls. Soon now it will be possible for me to act. At the moment of apparent absolute destruction, my mission, now no longer hindered by anything, will begin. Such is the will of God in this, and it will not change; although many persons will oppose it, nothing will change God's will. (1389)


Today the Lord Jesus is giving me an awareness of Himself and of His most tender love and care for me. He is bringing me to understand deeply how everything depends on His will, and how He allows certain difficulties precisely for our merit, so that our fidelity might be clearly manifest. And through this, I have been given strength for suffering and self-denial. (1409)


So today I submit myself completely and with loving consent to Your holy will, O Lord, and to Your most wise decrees, which are always full of clemency and mercy for me, though at times I can neither understand nor fathom them. O my Master, I surrender myself completely to You, who are the rudder of my soul; steer it Yourself according to Your divine wishes. I enclose myself in Your most compassionate Heart, which is a sea of unfathomable mercy. (1450)

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. SEPT 26 - LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD


The Queen of Peace speaks of love today:


Dear children, you must understand that a person has to pray. Prayer is no laughing matter, but a conversation with God himself. In every prayer, then, you must listen to the voice of God. Truly, without prayer a person cannot live. Prayer is life. (LJM 9-10-84). In Luke's gospel, Jesus also urges us to pray:


So I say to you, ask and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-10).


Reflection:


Prayer is by far the most frequent message given in Medjugorje, since from it flows a fountain of graces that are obtainable in no other way. For example: Peace: "In prayer, you will find peace." (WM 7-5-84)


Joy: "By means of prayer...you will obtain joy. (MM 8-25-89)


Love: "Pray, because in prayer each one of you will be able to achieve complete love." Holiness: "By prayer and sacrifice you will begin to live in holiness" (WM-11-13-86)


Grace: "Without prayer, dear children, you cannot experience...the graces which I offer to you." (WM 7-3-86)


Happiness: "Prayer makes one know happiness" (FY 10-20-84)


We can see why Our Lady calls us so urgently to prayer, for there are so many gifts she wishes to give us. "Before all, pray," she once told Jelena. "I say it again, pray! Know that in your life the most important thing is prayer."


Application:


Today, spend some extra time in prayer, opening your heart to receive the graces of the Holy Spirit.


Meditations by Padre Pio -
May God be pleased to see that these poor creatures truly repent and return to Him. One must truly be a mother towards all those people and, for this reason, have great care for them, because Jesus tells us that there is more festivity in Heaven for the sinner who repents than for the perseverance of 99 just people. These words of the Redeemer are truly comforting to many souls who unfortunately sin, and who then want to repent and return to Jesus.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - God demands full restitution from all


" We once received a plain, brown envelope in which there was stuffed $4,600 in bills, and to which was attached an anonymous note to the effect that the sender was making reparation for his dishonesty to an insurance company, the name and address of which was given. We sent the money to the insurance company and told them of the unjust claim that had been made against them, but the name of the one who had made the restitution remained unknown.


Regardless of how much one may have taken, and regardless of how secretly it may have been done, and regardless of how one may have justified it in his own false conscience, the Divine words still stand: `Believe Me, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.'"


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Prayer. O Jesus, stretched out upon the cross, I implore You, give me the grace of doing faithfully the most holy will of Your Father, in all things, always and everywhere. And when this will of God will seem to me very harsh and difficult to fulfill, it is then I beg You, Jesus, may power and strength flow upon me from Your wounds, and may my lips keep repeating, "Your will be done, O Lord." O Savior of the world, Lover of man's salvation, who in such terrible torment and pain forget Yourself to think only of the salvation of souls, O most compassionate Jesus, grant me the grace to forget myself that I may live totally for souls, helping You in the work of salvation, according to the most holy will of Your Father.... (1265)


Jesus, my most perfect model, with my eyes fixed on You, I will go through life in Your footsteps, adapting nature to grace, according to Your most holy will and Your light which illumines my soul, trusting completely in Your help. (1351)


Sixth day. O my God, I am ready to accept Your will in every detail, whatever it may be. However You may direct me, I will bless You. Whatever You ask of me I will do with the help of Your grace. Whatever Your holy will regarding me might be, I accept it with my whole heart and soul, taking no account of what my corrupt nature tells me. (1356)


Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html -


Quote of the Day


No man can attain to the knowledge of God but by humility. The way to mount high is to descend. -Bl. Giles of Assisi


Loving Mother of the Redeemer, gate of heaven, star of the sea, assist your people who have fallen yet strive to rise again. To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator, yet remained a virgin after as before. You who received Gabriel's joyful greeting, have pity on us poor sinners.


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.


SEPT 25 - WITH LOVE OVERCOME EVERY SIN


The Queen of Peace speaks of love today:


Dear children, today I call you to holiness. Without holiness you cannot live. Therefore, with love overcome every sin and difficulty which comes to you. Dear children, beseech you to live love in your lives. (WM 7-10-86)


In Luke's gospel, Zacchaeus is converted through Christ's love:


When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today." So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, "He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner."


Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, "Look, half my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much." Then Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost." (Luke 19:5-10).


Reflection:


To finance their great world empire, the Romans levied heavy taxes against all nations under their control. The Jews opposed these taxes because they supported a secular government and its pagan gods, but they were still forced to pay. The tax collectors -- Jews by birth who chose to work for Rome -- were considered traitors among the people of Israel. Further, it was common knowledge that they enriched themselves by gouging their fellow Jews of extra tax money which they kept for themselves.


No wonder the crowds were displeased when Jesus went home with the tax collector Zacchaeus. But despite the fact that Zacchaeus was a turncoat, Christ loved him. In response, the little tax collector was converted.


In every society certain groups of people are considered `untouchable' because of their politics, their immoral behavior, or their lifestyle. It is important not to give in to social pressure to avoid these people, for they are still loved by Christ and his Mother. Like Jesus, we are called to reach out to them and convey a love and concern that will help them on the road to conversion. As Our Lady says today, "With love, overcome every sin and every difficulty that confronts you."


Application:


Today, pray for the tolerance and love to help the sinners and outcasts of your own community.

 


Message from Our Blessed Mother to Jorge Zavala September 16, 2009


St. Bruno’s Church, San Bruno, CA


Dear little children,


Daily you face many challenges and it is only in the light of God that you are able to discern and choose for the truth.


In these times when the truth is distorted in so many ways, you, in union with the Vicar of Christ, must be witnesses of Jesus the Truth and Light of every created being.


These are times when peace is threatened daily and it is for this reason that I send you to be a sign of the love of God, especially to those who are far from me.


I love you, my children; I give you my blessing and may the peace of the Lord remain always in your hearts.

For the coming plagues and illnesses:


METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN


FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)


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

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father


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


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


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


The Lord's Prayer


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


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


Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

 

 


Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa


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


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


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


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

The Justice of the ETERNAL FATHER to littlest of servants September 23, 2009


While in Church this morning while praying before the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision and message


(I asked and received the same vision two days in a row as a confirmation that what I was getting was correct).


I saw the ground shaking and skyscrapers falling, roads cracking and splitting apart, and many, many freeway overpasses that had collapsed.


I then was taken into the air and I was looking over a huge city and I saw complete devastation in many areas.


I then saw the name Los Angeles and I saw over the name Los Angeles the names one after another ABORTION, PORNOGRAPHY, MURDER, MATERIALISM, AND SEXUAL ABUSE OF THE CHILDREN.


The ETERNAL FATHER then spoke and told me that HIS JUSTICE was HIS MERCY because mankind was no longer living under HIS TEN COMMANDMENTS and that if HE did not correct us we would soon destroy ourselves and the world with it. That HE could not allow this and so the time for HIM to step in and save us had come.


I then saw the TWO TABLETS OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THEY WERE CRUMBLING.


The ETERNAL FATHER spoke again and said that the TEN COMMANDMENTS were given so mankind could live in the world without destroying it. That the world and especially the United States (the United States has been the most BLESSED NATION in the history of the world so our accountability is higher) were no longer not only not living under them but were destroying them.


I then saw an Angel and He was holding the two tablets of TEN COMMANDMENTS in His Hands and again they begin to crumble.


I then saw the city of Los Angeles again and this time written over it I saw the month of OCTOBER.


I then saw the HAND of the ETERNAL FATHER and it was STRETCHED OUT OVER the CITY.


WOE TO THOSE WHO DESTROY MY CREATION MY HAND OF JUSTICE WILL REACH THEM. WOE TO THOSE WHO DESTROY MY PRECIOUS LITTLE ONES MY HAND OF JUSTICE WILL REACH THEM AND THEY WILL BE CAST INTO THE DEEPEST PARTS OF HELL.


WOE TO THOSE PLACES OF SLAUGHTER MY HAND OF JUSTICE WILL DESTROY THEM.


WOE, WOE, WOE TO THOSE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THE DESTRUCTION OF MY COMMANDMENTS MY HAND OF JUSTICE WILL FIND YOU AND HELL WILL YOUR DESTINATION.


THE TIME OF MY JUSTICE IS AT HAND. WORLD PREPARE!!!

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2009


YOU HAVE COME NOW INTO PRAYER THAT HAS TAKEN ON NEW MEANING. I SHALL TAKE EACH PRAYER AND IT SHALL GO BEYOND THE HEAVENS TO THE VERY ROOT OF EVIL. I SHALL CARRY THEM TO THE FATHER AND AS HE ACCEPTS THEM THEY SHALL BE GIVEN TO MY SON! EACH PRAYER SHALL CARRY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND LIKE NO OTHER TIME THESE PRAYERS SHALL THRUST THE HEART OF EVIL CAUSING A DISTURBANCE LIKE NONE OTHER.


IT WILL BE THE HAND OF GOD THAT SHALL BRING ABOUT A STUNNING OF EMOTION AND BRING ABOUT A NEW STRENGTH TO THOSE WHO PRAY AND TRUST. YOU ARE INDEED IN A BATTLE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE AND SO IT IS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE PROTECTION I HAVE PROMISED. WITH THE CROSS YOU SHALL CAUSE HEAVEN TO OPEN AND THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST SHALL FLOW TO ALL THOSE WHO VENERATE IT. EVIL IS REPULSED BY THE SIGHT OF JESUS?


BLOOD AND FEARS IT. THEREFORE, AS YOU ARE COVERED BY IT - YOU TOO SHALL BE FEARED. MUCH HAS BEEN DONE TO THWART THIS PROTECTION GIVEN YOU, BUT GRACE HAS ENTERED AND YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND HAVE OVERCOME THOSE ATTEMPTS TO STOP WHAT I HAVE BEGUN. NOW PRAY. PRAY WITH DEEP LOVE AND TRUST. PUT ASIDE ANY WORRY OR ANXIETY, YOU ARE WELL CARED FOR IN THIS BATTLE OF ALL BATTLES.


TONIGHT I SAY TO YOU, I LOVE YOU. I PRAY WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. I TOO VENERATE THE CROSS AND THE WOUNDED JESUS IT HOLDS. I TOUCH THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS OUT TO ALL OF YOU AND THUS YOU HAVE IT ALL.


I DO NOT GIVE A BLESSING, BUT INSTEAD I STAND WITH YOU IN BATTLE HELPING YOU, ENCOURAGING YOU. ADORE AND PRAISE GOD DO THIS MY CHILDREN - FOREVER.

YES AS YOU SEE DISASTERS CONTINUE, THE KILLINGS IN IRAQ CONTINUE AND THE KILLINGS IN AFGHANISTAN ARE INCREASING. AND ON TOP OF THAT DISASTER ANOTHER DISASTER WILL TAKE PLACE IF YOUR PRESIDENT SENDS IN THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF MORE TROOPS INTO AFGHANISTAN. HOW MUCH MORE KILLINGS CAN GO ON?


MY DEAR DEAR CHILDREN


BUT IT DOES NOT STOP THERE, EVERY PART OF THE COUNTRY OF THE WORLD HAS DISASTERS. INDIA NOT ONLY ADULTS BUT CHILDREN STARVE FROM HUNGER AND THAT IS IN INDIA. ALSO OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE THE SAME DISASTERS. HERE IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE SOUTH TENNESSEE, AND ESPECIALLY GEORGIA WITH FLOODS AND NOT A FOOT OR TWO, CARS ARE ALMOST BURIED UNDER WATER AND BECAUSE OF THESE FLOODS AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND ALSO A TWO YEAR OLD CHILD HAS DIED DUE TO FLOODS IN THE SOUTH.

MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN


IN NEW YORK CITY SUPPOSEDLY THEY CAUGHT SOME PEOPLE TO BE TERRORISTS, WITH PLANS OF BLOWING UP STADIUMS AND ALSO RAILROADS BUT DO YOU THINK IT WILL END THERE? DO YOU NOT THINK THAT IT CAN BE A DECOY, AND A TERRORIST ATTACK WOULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY? OR THEY CAN ALSO FEEL THAT IF THEY WERE CAUGHT THEN IT’S OVER AND WHAT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM TRYING TO ATTACK TOMORROW?


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN


YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE DISASTERS. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE KILLINGS, TERROR ATTACKS. IF ONLY PEOPLE WOULD PRAY THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY KIND OF WAR OR ATTACKS.


MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN


PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT THE XVI AND FOR HIM TO COMPLETE HIS MISSION, PRAY FOR YOUR PRIESTS, PRAY FOR YOUR CHURCHES THAT THEY STAY UNITED AS ONE. ATTEND CONFESSION AND HAVE YOUR SOULS CLEANSED AND BE PREPARED FOR THE RETURN OF MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

Medjugorje Day By Day Sept 24 - I ESPECIALLY THANK THE YOUNG


"O most sacred, most loving heart of Jesus, thou art concealed in the Holy Eucharist, and thou beatest for us still . . . . In worshipping thee I worship my incarnate God, my Emmanuel" (John Henry Cardinal Newman).


St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968), Priest, Stigmatist, Mystic, Italy Sept. 23


The patron of Eucharistic adorers, St. Padre Pio was passionately in love with the Holy Eucharist. He wrote: "Let me recognize you as your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the eucharistic Communion [may] be the light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart." "In the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist, in this sacrament of love, we have true life, a blessed life, and true happiness." "Let us spend our whole lives giving thanks to the divine Father who, in an excess of love for us, sent His only begotten Son and our most sweet Lover. Protected, covered and defended by the Presence of this dear Lord, let us stand before Him [in the Holy Eucharist] and pray with the humility of the creature and the confidence and freedom of the child."

 


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


Padre Pio - There is one thing I absolutely cannot stand and it is this: if I have to rebuke someone, I am always ready; but I cannot bear to see someone else do it. To see someone humiliated or mortified like this is unbearable for me. -


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Restitution must be made sooner or later


" Every act of dishonesty disturbs the balance of justice and therefore, demands restitution. The old law of Moses on stealing was, `If he is found guilty, he must make restitution, giving back in full all that he hoped to gain by his knavery, and a fifth part beside, to the owner whom he has wronged.' "


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Prayer. O Jesus, stretched out upon the cross, I implore You, give me the grace of doing faithfully the most holy will of Your Father, in all things, always and everywhere. And when this will of God will seem to me very harsh and difficult to fulfill, it is then I beg You, Jesus, may power and strength flow upon me from Your wounds, and may my lips keep repeating, "Your will be done, O Lord."


O Savior of the world, Lover of man's salvation, who in such terrible torment and pain forget Yourself to think only of the salvation of souls, O most compassionate Jesus, grant me the grace to forget myself that I may live totally for souls, helping You in the work of salvation, according to the most holy will of Your Father.... (1265)


Jesus, my most perfect model, with my eyes fixed on You, I will go through life in Your footsteps, adapting nature to grace, according to Your most holy will and Your light which illumines my soul, trusting completely in Your help. (1351)


Sixth day. O my God, I am ready to accept Your will in every detail, whatever it may be. However You may direct me, I will bless You. Whatever You ask of me I will do with the help of Your grace. Whatever Your holy will regarding me might be, I accept it with my whole heart and soul, taking no account of what my corrupt nature tells me. (1356)

Quote of the Day


Every virtue in your soul is a precious ornament which makes you dear to God and to man. But holy purity, the queen of virtues, the angelic virtue, is a jewel so precious that those who possess it become like the angles of God in Heaven, even though clothed in mortal flesh. -St. John Bosco


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.


SEPT 24 - I ESPECIALLY THANK THE YOUNG


The Blessed Virgin commends the young today:


Dear children, today I thank you for all of your prayers. Continue to pray all the more so that Satan will remain far from here. Dear children, Satan's plan has failed. Pray for the fulfillment of God's plans for the parish. I especially thank the young people for the sacrifices they have offered. (WM 9-5-85)..


And in the Book of Proverbs, the author addresses the young:


My child, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them escape your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22).Reflection:


A fifteen year-old girl pulled a driver from his burning truck recently near Washington, D.C., saving his life. The girl had been riding in a car with her mother when the 13-ton truck passed by. Moments later it overturned and burst into flames when its steering wheel broke.


Seeing the driver unconscious, the young lady leaped out of her car, dragged the driver through the truck window, and quickly beat out the flames, which were rapidly spreading over his body.


An emergency such as this provides eloquent proof of the love and courage that God has instilled in our youth. Today Our Lady thanks them for the sacrifices they have made in living her messages, and asks us to continue to encourage and pray for her young people. Application:


This week, make a special effort to befriend and encourage any young people who cross your path. If the occasion permits, share with them the story of Medjugorje.

From Our Lady to Gianna Talone Sullivan September 14, 2009 - The Feast of the Triumph of the Cross


My dear little children, praised be Jesus!


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


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


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


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


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


It happened in Noah’s time; it happened in my Son’s time, and it continues to happen. Something begins as good, and people rally to pray to God and thank Him; and then the cross comes, and they blaspheme Him. So too with the prophets of the past and now! They are judged and crucified by those who are self-righteous and all-knowing and very presumptuous of their own salvation. And once again the Church happens to be the leading hand with the condemnation and the degradation of good character.


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


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


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


Peace (fading whisper).


From Our Lady to Gianna Talone Sullivan - September 17, 2009


My dear little children, praised be Jesus!


Thank you, children, for your prayers. I love you. God loves you. He thanks you for your faithfulness, your commitment and your fidelity to your own “fiat.â€


You know, children, I have been appearing in many places all over the world. Even now, the Church in her graciousness has reopened the investigation in Yugoslavia. As you look throughout the world at my many appearances, know that I have come here; and just as events are occurring in another country, so too here I am! Now!


Where else would I go in this country (the United States of America) other than where the sacraments began and where Catholicism began? Would I not be here to bless my priests and my seminarians? Would I not be here to bless all the people who make pilgrimage here, that they may turn their hearts to the Truth and receive the blessings and graces from God?


Can you not see that even in the past in every place that I have been, there has been evil? Evil has tried to mask and to mitigate and to literally destroy every good work I have done for my Son.


But during these times I invite my Church, Mother Church, the Church of my Son, to look and see! Look at the millions of people who have come here, not only when the authorities allowed my presence in a more visible way, but even afterwards, people being drawn to all the other areas here at the Center of my Immaculate Heart, coming to pray and to receive graces.


In other places in the world, my priests through their upbringing are more open to receive these graces from God; but here though, on Satan’s turf as I once before called this country (Private OLOE, Jan. 30, 2004), in the most powerful nation in the world, there are Bishops fighting against not only this current Pope, but previous Popes, and fighting for eminency in what to do and to be, and leading people in a different way.


But as your Mother, the Mother of God your God I am here to say that through His suffering and your suffering which I have endured for you: I am not leaving, because I am here to save this country!


I am here (in the USA) where your first native-born American Saint lies, (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton) where your first American saint of another nationality lies (St. Frances Xavier Cabrini), and where Catholicism in this country began.


Am I a liar? You can tell God that face to face when you see Him!


You have the facts, and you know the Truth because God is the Truth; and I live in Him. Our Hearts are One. Your Savior is my Son; and God the Father has deemed me, in my humility and graciousness and “fiat,to be without sin so that through my blood His Son could be born human and without sin.


You most definitely need to pray all of you; all of you! and beg God’s forgiveness. Ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you in what areas you need to be forgiven, because there is so much damage that has come into the world. You have been very much misled, and without Mother Church you would have no hope at all.


I love you, and I will always take your petitions to my Son. Remember: He is God, and no servant is greater than the Master!


Live your life fully now, or be meek and humble and fully live your life in His glory. Peace (fading whisper).

Messages to The Two Patricks August 2-21, 2009


Sunday 2 August 2009


Jesus:


I Love you, My children, love Me in return. Show that you love Me by the way you live your lives.


Come to Me often in prayer so that I can fill you with My Love. Trust in Me, your God, children, and I will renew your souls. Trust in Me and allow Me to Teach you in the Ways of Truth. I Love you. Trust in Me. I am the Path that leads to all Peace, trust in Me. I, your Jesus, Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Tuesday 18 August 2009


Jesus:


Look only to the Truth and see My Love for you, My children. Turn away from this world and come, follow Me, for I am your God. I have given My All for you so that you could have a place with Me in My Father’s Kingdom.


Come, trust in Me and allow Me to show you the Truth of My Life in you. Trust in Me and I will guide you back from the darkness of this world. I am your God and I have come in these Words to give you hope and bring you to the safe Refuge of My Heart. I say again and again, trust in Me and I will bring you to safety.


Trust, children, trust for no longer can you find anything in this world that will bring you peace for all has become tainted with the unlove that has been brought about by sin. No longer can you trust the shepherds that have been sent for many have become tainted and no longer follow My Path but follow the path of satan that only leads to the eternal fire. Look at the Truth. Wake up and you will see if you want to. My Words of Scripture are being changed into lies, words that I did not speak, in order to deceive My people and lead them to the fires of hell.


Sin has not changed, sin cannot be accepted in My Kingdom. Sin is still an abhorrence to Me and only leads to death eternal. Lies and deceit cannot be My Way. Many accept sin now as being Truth because of the times you live in. No, children, My Life does not change, My Laws do not change and I will not accept sin as truth. My Commandments do not change. Homosexuality is a sin in My sight, sex outside of marriage is still a sin in My sight.


This is Truth: My Laws do not change. This is what you must look at and trust in My Truth, My Words, for they are Words of Eternal Life. I Love you, come to Me, I await your answer. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Friday 21 August 2009


Jesus:


Look always to the Truth and see Me in all that you meet and always trust in Me. My Love for you is great, My children, and I only want to guide you back from the danger you are in. Your lives are very short and you do not have much time in order to find the Truth. Look, My little ones, I am Coming and you have not prepared. I Love you, pay heed to these Words for they are your lifeline in this world of darkness. I, your Jesus, Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Sharings given by Dory Tan on September 5th and 8th DE1


Sharing by Dory Tan on September 5th 2009 in Marmora


At the Tenth Station before Our Blessed Mother appeared, Dory seemed troubled. When I later asked Dory about this she said she felt a very strong feeling of distraction. After a short time Dory said she heard Our Blessed Mother's words reminding her to be strong. Our Blessed Mother then appeared to Dory and after the apparition Dory shared with us that what happened to her just now is for every one of us. Our Blessed Mother is asking all of us to be very strong now. This is very serious because the enemy is all around us, even in this Holy Place. She is begging us not to be distracted by anyone. She wants us to pray from our hearts and remain simple and offer everything to Our Lord and to Her. They know all our needs.


Dory said, Our Blessed Mother repeated again today that all She needs from all of us is a simple heart, a clean heart and strong faith and to believe that She is here with all of us.


Our Blessed Mother is again showing us how much She loves us by giving Her Light that is Her Son Jesus. Our Blessed Mother asked Dory to tell everyone that even though they already have their Light, they can get another Light on September 8th. This Light that they will get is not for them but a Light to share with others, because they already have their Light. Our Blessed Mother wants us to share this Light with everyone. This Light is very powerful. It is from Her Son Jesus to save our souls and to take us to Heaven. Dory said we must follow what Jesus said; "If you love Me you must love your neighbour." We must show Jesus and Our Blessed Mother how much we love Them by praying for each other and helping each other. Remember the words of The Infant Jesus; "I am counting what you are doing. Don't let Me stop counting."


Dory reminds us that The Infant Jesus is waiting at the door of Heaven for us. She said that this life on earth is nothing now. We must focus our life on getting to Heaven. That Light, along with doing the will of God is what will bring us through that door into Heaven.


Dory ends by saying: God Bless us all and see you September 8th on Our Blessed Mother's Birthday.


Our Blessed Mother's Birthday September 8th 2009


At the Tenth Station before the apparition, Dory said that Our Blessed Mother wanted us to open out hearts to Her and She promised that She would be here today to listen to our prayers.


After the apparition Bishop Danylak, Dory's Spiritual Leader, blessed Dory before she began her sharing.


Dory thanked everyone for being here today and joining in our prayers. She said, Our Blessed Mother wanted her to emphasize that at midnight and again today, She is wearing a gold gown. Dory said, the meaning of wearing gold is happiness and joy. Our Blessed Mother told Dory that this is one of Her happiest birthdays and She is joyful because so many people attended. She also asked Dory to remind us of what Her Son The Infant Jesus said; "I am counting what you are doing. Don't let Me stop counting."


Dory said, we have made Jesus and Our Blessed Mother very happy today with the way we are gathered here in prayer. We should take this happiness home with us in our hearts and share it with our families and neighbours.


Our Blessed Mother also asked Dory to emphasize to all of us the importance of the Light in the candle. This Light is Her Son Jesus Our Lord and Saviour. Through this Light, Our Blessed Mother is assuring us that we are with Her and will go to Heaven. Our Blessed Mother told Dory that if we are following the will of Her Son Jesus and following the messages She has given to us and we have our Light we will go to Heaven. This is why the Light is so important to share with others.


Dory wants to remind us again that the only Light we can share is from the candle that was lit from Our Blessed Mother's Candle. When you share the Light with others, they cannot share their Light. It is just for them.


Dory wants us to remember how happy we have made Jesus and Our Blessed Mother today. She wants us all to continue with what we are doing so that we don't waste this Light that Jesus and Our Blessed Mother have given to us to take us to Heaven.


Dory ends by saying: God Bless us all.

"With your substance you have fed that same Jesus who every day gives me life, your life, O Mary, that very life which he owes you. Every drop of his blood you gave him so that it should be mine. With your virgin milk you fed him so that he might die on the Cross and open the gates of heaven for me. My beloved Mother, it is to you, then, that I owe my happiness which I enjoy in contemplating him" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God)..

 


Of the Holy Eucharist, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton wrote: "Can there be any comparison to this blessedness? Adored Lord, increase my faith, perfect it, crown it."

 


Mother Teresa - Love Jesus generously.


Meditations by Padre Pio - I belong entirely to everyone. Everyone can say: "Padre Pio is mine." I deeply love my brothers in exile. I love my spiritual children as much as my own soul and even more. I have regenerated them to Jesus through suffering and love. I can forget myself but not my spiritual children, indeed I can assure you that when the Lord calls me I will say to Him: "Lord, I will remain at the gates of Paradise; I will go in when I have the last of my children enter."


I suffer so much because I cannot win all my brothers for God. At times I am on the point of dying of heartache on seeing so many suffering souls without being able to relieve them and so many brothers allied to satan.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Sincere Honesty and Insincere Honesty


" Abraham Lincoln once said, `If, in your judgment, you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.' It has often been said, `Honesty is the best policy,' on the grounds that it will keep you out of trouble and make you admired. Someone has remarked concerning it, `He who acts upon this principle is not an honest man.' It would seem however, that there is some decline in honesty, for there is now one major crime committed in the United States for every sixty persons. In the last ten years, the crime rate in the United States has been exploding at a rate four times as fast as the rate of the growth of our population."

2009 Heavenly Messages as given to Anna Marie, an Apostle of the Green Scapular


MESSAGE FROM OUR SAVIOR JESUS JESUS SPEAKS ON GIVING TO THOSE IN NEED SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 AT 2:10 PM


Anna Marie: My Lord, are you calling me?


Jesus: Yes my dear one.


Anna Marie: My loving Lord, may I ask, are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?


Jesus: Beloved, it is I your Savior, Jesus of the Most Blessed Trinity (angel appeared).


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord. May I also ask, will you bow down Jesus and adore God your Eternal and Holy Father, who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life of all that is seen and unseen?


Jesus: Yes little one, I your Savior Jesus of the Blessed Sacrament, Healer of all souls, Seat of Wisdom and Mercy, will now and will always bow down and adore God my Holy Eternal, Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. And yes daughter, I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, born in a manger in Bethlehem.


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


Jesus: Little one, I know that you have many thoughts and concerns over the way your nations government is currently not listening to me, their Messiah, but this arrogance has been in motion for many, many years. All Christians must return to prayer now, before a tragic incident takes place that would bring your nation to their knees, when it is too late to stop it. A nation must always pray to God for protection, wisdom and prosperity within the confines of generosity for others and mercy for the least of my people. Your country does help those in greater need, but is falling short in daily prayer and thanksgiving to God our Father in Heaven for all your country has and its citizens are able to possess. Owning possessions will not help anyone enter into the Kingdom of God, how a man or woman shares those possessions will.


Jesus: Giving to anyone in need is equivalent to giving to me, their Savior. When a gift of love is given, no reward or gratitude by the receiver is expected. You give because you love. You love because it was a gift given to you from up above.


My Father gives to you from His love of you. Yet He does expect you to share a portion of your gifts with others in need. This portion has been set and is such a small portion that no excuse can be made if you do not give to others. The portion is only 10%.


Ten percent is but a fraction of what you receive. Why do so many Americans refuse to share even this very small amount? Why must you choose greed over generosity? Was not my Father more than generous with you, sinful children, when He permitted His only Son to suffer by being tortured, then crucified because of your own sins?


Jesus: Beloved children, I now turn to you and again request you to open your hearts, your hands and your purse. Give your time, your talents, your money and all that you can to those in need. Do not worry if you and your families will have enough, I will provide for you because you gave 10% to those in greater need. Trust in your Savior, trust in your God. Trust in my mercy and you will never be disappointed. I love you and am blessing each of you this day. Your merciful Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.


End of Message

 


SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH


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


Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


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