“Come and I will take you to Jesus, my Son”
Reading: Luke 2:22-38
Dear friends,
Simeon said to our Blessed Mother in the temple, “and you yourself a sword will pierce.” Luke 2:35
My time of contemplative prayer this morning was spent with our Blessed Mother who said, “Melvin, my son and Jesus’ friend, I love you. I am interceding for all my sons and daughters, especially those who accept me as their Mother and have a devotion to me. I want you all to believe in my Son Jesus and be His disciples.
Soon after Jesus’ birth, Joseph and I took the Child Jesus to Jerusalem to present Him to God in the Temple according to the law of the Jews. In the Temple that day there was a very old and holy man called Simeon who was waiting for the arrival of the Messiah into the world. He recognized the small infant as the Saviour and he was filled with joy as he held Him in his arms. At the end he turned to me, Jesus’ Mother, and told me, ‘and you yourself a sword will pierce.’ I did not know the full meaning of these words but I knew I would have much to suffer.
The full realization of Simeon’s words came during the Passion and death of my dear Son. I met Him as He was carrying the cross along the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem and saw with my own eyes the suffering He had undergone. I was also present at Calvary as He hung upon the cross until death in terrible pain. It is there at the foot of the cross that Simeon’s prophecy was fully realized. I suffered martyrdom with Him as I stood there praying with Him for the salvation of all the people of the world. I knew that He had to suffer all this pain until death to pay the price for your sins.
Come and I will take you to Jesus, my Son, and your Saviour. Accept Him and believe in Him with all your heart. Repent and be His follower. I love you.”

"Eternal Son of the living God, Whom I here acknowledge really present! I adore Thee with all the powers of my soul. Prostrate with the Angels in the most profound reverence, I love Thee, O my Saviour, Whom I now behold on the throne of Thy love! O dread Majesty, O infinite Mercy! Save me, forgive me! Grant that I may never more be separated from Thee" (St. Basil).
"We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors.... but they all have to learn to live in the same box."
Mother Teresa -
How can you love God whom you do not see, if you don't love the neighbor whom you do see the neighbor you know and live with every day?
Meditations by Padre Pio - It is difficult to become Saints. Difficult but not impossible. The road to perfection is long, just as long as a lifetime. Consolation is rest along the way, but as soon as your strength is restored, you must get up diligently and continue the race.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Ideas are knowledge
"Passion cannot operate unless we have an idea about something. A woman will not `get mad' at a bargain counter, unless she knows that someone is getting the better selection. We speak of people becoming `enthused' about some idea - and an idea is knowledge. No one undergoes the passion of sadness without first having a knowledge of a loss or a disaster."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
August 15, 1937. During meditation, God's presence pervaded me keenly, and I was aware of the Virgin Mary's joy at the moment of her Assumption. Towards the end of the ceremony carried out in honor of the Mother of God, I saw the Virgin Mary, and She said to me, Oh, how very pleased I am with the homage of your love! And at that moment she covered all the sisters of our Congregation with her mantle. With her right hand, she clasped Mother General Michael to herself, and with her left hand she did so to me, while all the sisters were at her feet, covered with her mantle. Then the Mother of God said, Everyone who perseveres zealously till death in my Congregation will be spared the fire of purgatory, and I desire that each one distinguish herself by the following virtues: humility and meekness; chastity and love of God and neighbor; compassion and mercy. After these words, the whole Congregation disappeared from my sight, and I remained alone with the Most Holy Mother who instructed me about the will of God and how to apply it to my life, submitting completely to His most holy decrees. It is impossible for one to please God without obeying His holy will. My daughter, I strongly recommend that you faithfully fulfill all God's wishes, for that is most pleasing in His holy eyes. I very much desire that you distinguish yourself in this faithfulness in accomplishing God's will. Put the will of God before all sacrifices and holocausts. While the heavenly Mother was talking to me, a deep understanding of this will of God was entering my soul. (1244)

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.

Dec 30 - LET YOUR HEARTS CONTINUE TO BE HAPPY
Today Our Lady speaks of happiness and the retreat of Satan:
Dear children, this Christmas Satan especially wanted to spoil God's plans, but you, dear children, discerned Satan even on Christmas Day itself. But God is winning in all your hearts. So let your hearts continue to be happy (Weekly Message Dec 27, 1984).
St. Paul also speaks of joy and the defeat of Satan:
For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I want you to be wise in what is good and guileless in what is evil. The God of peace will shortly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you (Rom 16:10-20).
Reflection:
Happiness, according to many philosophers, is a state of being that nobody recognizes while they are happy, but can recollect all too clearly when they are unhappy. But the happiness that St. Paul and Our Lady refer today is the inner joy that is born of God's love in our hearts. It is the fruit of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ based on total trust. It usually does not happen all at once, but by degrees. As our trust builds, so does our peace.
Application:
Reflect today on these lines from St. Thomas a Kempis:
But true glory and holy joy is to glory in Thee, O Lord, and not in one's self; to rejoice in thy name, and not to be delighted in one's own virtue, nor in any creature, save only for thy sake.

MESSAGE FROM MOTHER MARY December 28, 2007
7:10 AM
Son, I wish to take this opportunity to say something to my Sons and Daughters,
the Brothers and Sisters of my Son Jesus.
The Mother of your Lord is here once more as it has become my predilection to be
of help to my Son in winning more souls for the Kingdom.
My motherly heart reaches out to people of all faith, not only to those who have
recourse to me as the Mother of my Lord. Every soul is the Father's creation,
no one else. Each soul is sent to earth to inhabit bodies which has no equal in
its uniqueness as each soul is given by God a role to play in the earth life.
Souls incarnate on earth for a divine purpose. Life on earth is an education
process, a process which at the same time grants the soul his free will choice
in his journey to find the way back to the Creator. Whether to gravitate
towards the light or the darkness is a continuing dilemma in which every soul is
subjected to and depending on the individual choices, either the soul finds its
way back to the Kingdom or be lost along the way.
Each soul on earth is treated fairly. The seeming injustice manifested in
glaring poverty, very unlivable conditions, untold misery, these are all part of
the education process as well as byproducts of man's free will choice that
obviously gravitated out of the light. The free will choice exercised by the
first humans reverberated through the ages but the good news is that these are
all taken into account by the Almighty and in due time not too far away, will
institute measures that will correct this apparent life's inequity.

MESSAGE FROM JESUS
December 28, 2007
6:50 AM
Son let me speak through you!
My brothers and sisters of the world, it is my pleasure to commune with you.
More than two thousand years have passed since I left the earthly abode, body,
soul and spirit and have not yet fulfilled my promise to come back when I can be
seen as I am. I understand the deep yearning of those who eagerly watch for my
appearing, but while this physical manifestation is yet to happen according to
what is written, may I remind you my brothers and sisters that even if you
cannot see me at this point in time yet, I am to serve notice that I am present
in those who have a piece of heaven in their hearts. I have continuing
fellowship with those who can feel my subtle presence, so to them, I have
already come. It is my presence in their lives that makes no difference at all
whether I come to be seen by the eyes even in a thousand years from now or
perhaps today. To them, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. When I come to be
physically seen, those who have me now in their hearts will not be caught by
surprise anymore. They will be the ones to sing with their hearts out
Allelujah in the highest Our Lord Has Come!
Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Men!

Natural Disasters at Record Level in 2007
"Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, "You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down." As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" And Jesus answered them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs. "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And then many will fall away, and betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because wickedness is multiplied, most men's love will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come. "So when you see the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let him who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle. And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days haad not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Then if any one says to you, 'Lo, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Lo, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, 'Lo, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out; if they say, 'Lo, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken and one is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed,' and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth." (Cf. Mat 24)
Louise Tomkiel (1)
August 22, 2007
Louise began to receive a message and said, "Jesus, cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
Your God then spoke, "What I am doing with My hand combined with what man is doing with his weather machines (2) is causing more disasters than the earth has ever witnessed. What you are now experiencing is only the beginning of the 'labor pains.'
Mother Nature will run rampant the world over. Very few will survive what is to come. Land, sea and sky will act violently, Simultaneously to destroy both sin AND sinners.
All will be for all must be purified before My Son reigns as Eucharistic King (3) which will prepare the way for His 'coming.'
Prepare the way for Jesus! Repent! Forgive! Love all! Pray! Become poor in spirit! Trust Me! Exalt in the Lord for I alone am THE WAY --- THE ONLY WAY!
Watch and see the world change as the Mighty Purification begins.
AMEN, I, your God have spoken!"

Munich Re Says Losses From Natural Disasters to Rise
BLOOMBERG - December 27, 2007 -- Munich Re, the world's second-biggest reinsurer, said losses from natural catastrophes will rise because of climate changes, costing clients more for insurance premiums. ---
--- [Further, it stated]
The number of natural catastrophes this year rose to 950, the highest since Munich Re began keeping track in 1974. In 2007, one of the warmest years on record, the most costly catastrophe for insured losses was winter storm Kyrill, which battered Europe including Germany in January and caused $5.8 billion in damages.
Insured losses this year, however, remain well below the 2005 level of $99 billion when hurricanes such as Katrina and Rita made it the worst on record for natural catastrophes. No major hurricane has struck the U.S. during the hurricane season in the last two years.
Record rainfall in Britain caused floods in June and July and led to about $6 billion in insured losses. The most deadly disaster globally occurred in November in Bangladesh and India when Cyclone Sidr killed about 3,300 people, Munich Re said. ---

NOTE: We respectfully recognize and accept the final authority regarding apparitions, locutions and prophecies presently being reported around the world rests with the Holy See of Rome and the Magisterium of Holy Mother Church to whose judgment we humbly and obediently submit.
The web site, era-of-peace, together with its mother web site,
www.call2holiness.org
have been designed to serve a very unique purpose. As discussed in greater detail on the home page of era-of-peace, it is used in conjunction with its mother site to assist and guide all of God's children through the Great Tribulation of the book of Revelation.
Accordingly, primary emphasis has been given to the accumulation of few archived messages at the era-of-peace web site, as opposed to many individual emailed messages to members. Our intention is to build a relatively small base of messages, to facilitate the painting of the "big" picture as eschatology is realized daily. As new members join, especially during the foretold confusion associated with the Warning, they will see for themselves the foretold events materializing together with supporting evidence.
