Our Lady's Message of January 25, 2008
Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s January 25, 2008 Monthly Message
“Dear children! With the time of Lent, you are approaching a time of grace. Your heart is like ploughed soil and it is ready to receive the fruit which will grow into what is good. You, little children, are free to choose good or evil.
Therefore, I call you to pray and fast. Plant joy and the fruit of joy will grow in your hearts for your good, and others will see it and receive it through your life.
Renounce sin and choose eternal life. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Message to J.N.S.R. Dec. 24, 2007
It is My Holy Nativity
December 24, 2007
JESUS: My child, an anniversary is like a life renewed, bringing with it souvenirs of the past, and the joy of imagining the future of which we catch a glimpse through this door that is opening. I am speaking of My Holy Nativity on this Earth of God and of man.
I am with My Holy Mother who blesses every day that Holy Day. That memory remains and will eternally be part of Her: MARY Most Holy gives to the sinful world Her Most Holy Son, Her ever living Love for He is also Her God.
Her Fiat given to that of the Father of all Kindness, is the Gift by which God tears Himself , and the Mother offers Her Pure and Immaculate Heart so as to allow it to be pierced by that Sword which will pierce through to the Cross bearing Her Divine Son, the Virgin Flesh of Her own Flesh, the Cross of Love and of Forgiveness, where God sacrifices Himself with the Fiat of His Father and that of His Mother for the Salvation of the World.
That Day of My Most Holy Nativity where Heaven visits the Earth, is a day of Suffering and of Joy, of Hope in the pain of this Humanity that does not know yet how to appreciate the Fruit of its Deliverance and does not know how to gather it and even less eat it in the Holy Eucharist:
"Take and eat, this is My Body.
Take and drink, this is My Blood".
My Life, from the Crib to the Cross, is this pathway that My Father is offering you, again and again, in order to help you get through these End Times that must end to allow the Time of God who only waits for your understanding and your decision in order to offer you a New Earth surrounded by the New Heavens. But you do not know how to see with the gaze of your soul, which is, in Truth, the Gaze of God.
I abide in your spiritual body, and as a captain, on watch on his ship, I watch on your soul.
Even if you say you do not know Me, do not love Me, or even if God leaves you all freedom, your soul, I have won it from Satan on My Holy Cross.
And even his, he cannot destroy it: his soul does belong to Me. I paid to the very last with the Price of My Blood, and My Blood is the Life of all of God's souls.
And God, Unique and True, is the One Creator of all Humanity, and of the visible and invisible Universe, He is the Only Master. Satan can set up an army of empty corpses, but he can never steal even one of My souls.
That Day when I saved all the souls on Earth, past, present and future, My Holy Cross became the Witness of your Salvation: it was dripping the Blood of God. Only God, could redeem all His souls.
The Blood of your Lord JESUS Christ is the Price for all the Universe. One drop of My Precious Blood could have saved all the souls, but for the Love of My Father and of My brothers, I allowed all My Divine and Precious Blood to flow to the ground.
My Love is so strong that My Heart burst like a ripe fruit, giving My Forgiveness to all My souls, and giving Glory to My Most Holy Father.
JNSR: O My JESUS of Love, I cannot deny the suffering I am going through, as this is the moment I feel nearer to You. At the worst of my pain, I see You.
I see the sheep still getting lost and Your immense sadness at the sight of Your Great Glorious Cross, through which You would have brought all of them back to Yourself: they have not obeyed You!
O my Sovereign God, Master of all souls and of all things, the Freedom You gave man, has betrayed You once more. Console Yourself, Your Little Remnant will always be faithful to You and is begging Pardon for those who still run away from You.
JESUS of Nazareth has triumphed over Death.
His Reign is Eternal.
He comes to triumph over the World and Time.
Mercy My God for those who blaspheme You,
Forgive them for they know not what they do.
Mercy My God for the scandal in the World,
Deliver them from the spirit of Satan.
Mercy My God for those who run away from You,
Give them a taste for the Holy Eucharist.
Mercy My God for those who will come to repent at the foot of the Glorious Cross,
May they find there Peace and Joy in God Our Saviour.
Mercy My God so that Your Kingdom come,
But save them as there is still time, but the time is drawing near,
and behold I am coming, Amen.
Come, Lord JESUS!
JESUS: I would like to find in each of you, the holy memory they still have, hidden in themselves, of the birth of their souls, virginal birth in Heaven in the first Waters, where each one received My Holy Blessing before starting the pilgrimage on Earth: in order to receive, upon returning to the Home of the Father, the sign of the Cross on their forehead and, like the Prodigal Son, the tender embrace of the Father.
Yes, My child, I am soon coming to awaken this memory asleep in each one and I can come during the night as well as during the day.
And everyone will be present at My Call, and groups will be formed, knowing where they are going and where they come from. Fear will not be there, for the souls are waiting for Me, they will be prepared in one instant.
In your spiritual freedom and in all knowledge, you will judge yourselves before God, God being in you.
My child, continue to offer to your Father in Heaven, thousands of Holy Masses in the whole world for World Repentance in reparation for the great disobedience of this world that did not obey the request of God who wanted to forgive all Humanity and give Peace to all Nations that would have gone up to His Holy Glorious Cross.
JNSR: The Cross of World Repentance and the Forgiveness of God so as to implore God for His Forgiveness and His Peace and surrender to His Most Holy Will, for we are all sinners. Forgive us Lord, we have all sinned against You.
Give us Your Pardon and we shall be saved.
JESUS Christ, Saviour of the World.

“Turn to Me and I will help you”
Reading: Matthew 10:16-33
Dear friends,
“Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.” Matthew 5:11-12
My prayer this morning was spent with Jesus, Our Lord and Redeemer, and He said, “Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you. I hold close to My Heart all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world.
I know many of you are persecuted these days. As they mocked Me when I was living in the world, they will also mock you who believe in Me. They tell all kinds of lies against you as if you were their enemy.
Many of My followers are killed every year, which is the way they treated Me by hanging Me on the cross to die. You are being persecuted not only in non-Christian countries but also in countries that once were known as Christian.
If you are persecuted, think of what I said and it is written in the Bible.
The world you know is under the sway of the evil one and the devil will do anything to you to show his displeasure. He would not react if he did not perceive a threat.
Do not be afraid at what the devil is saying but be afraid if you do not follow Me, for you will fall in his clutches.
I was attacked by the devil while I was fasting in the desert. I was not afraid of him and never would I do what he asked of Me.
It was the devil at work in the hearts of those who called for My arrest, who beat Me and placed a crown of thorns on My head and nailed Me to the cross to die.
The evil one thought he had won when I died but he never imagined that I would rise from the dead and establish My Church. If you are with Me, you will defeat the devil and win a crown of glory in heaven. I am the example you are to follow.
Do not be afraid of those who persecute you, but have courage to follow Me every day. I am with you daily so turn to Me and I will help you. I love you.”
Father Melvin
A Letter from Anne, a lay apostle
My dear friends and fellow lay apostles,
This year, as I looked at baby Jesus in the manger this Christmas, I
thought of the feelings a mother has when someone places her newly born
child in her arms. The very breath goes out of a mother at that moment. One
has to admit to the awesome power of God when one looks into the face of a
new baby.
As I contemplated Jesus in the manger, I thought of what it would be like
to pick Him up and hold Him in my arms. Imagine. How would you lift Him?
And hold Him? Well I think you would be reverent in the extreme, filled
with awe, filled with wonder at what God intended to do with this little
infant in His lifetime.
It came to me so powerfully that this is what He, the Lord Jesus Christ,
asks of each one of us. He longs for this kind of reverent, awed, and
tender treatment for each of His children on earth. Most likely, we have
not been treated like this by others, or at least not all the time. But
surely it is God's plan that we go out into our days and treat everyone we
meet like this, with the same wonder at what God desires to do for and
through each person in the world.
A single mother complained to one of her friends about the difficulties
she was having with her son, who was misbehaving. The things he was doing
were age appropriate, not serious but annoying and frustrating for his
mother. The mother said to her friend, What in heaven's name is God going
to do with this boy?
The friend replied, From the looks of things, He's going to make you a
saint. This made the mother laugh, as it should have but there is great
truth to it.
We have all felt, at times, terrific frustration with someone in our
lives. But if we can treat those who are the most difficult for us with the
tenderness and gentleness we would offer the newborn Saviour, we will make
progress with them. This is a powerful goal for each lay apostle.
Another important task for us at the beginning of the year is that of
examining our prayer life and our prayer commitments. Many apostles trip
because they do not have a disciplined approach to prayer. Consider which
part of the day belongs to the Lord. Where is your silence that Jesus
requests and so badly needs? Let each of us determine again, with Jesus,
what needs to be adjusted in our prayer life.
At this time, the time of the New Year, we are prone to looking over the
last year. Surely we all see some sufferings and perhaps a big cross or a
cross that became heavier and more difficult to carry. We will also see
crosses that were removed or that became lighter and easier to carry.
Looking back, we see opportunities for holiness that Jesus presented us
with and in those opportunities we no doubt see some failures as well as
some successes. We, as lay apostles, see, in looking back over the past
year, somewhere around 365 allegiance pledges to God our Father. And this,
my friends, is cause for rejoicing.
There is one thing I know for sure. The past year was not always easy for
any of us. On some days, we presented ourselves to heaven filled with
confidence and enthusiasm. We felt we had great things to offer heaven. On
other days, we presented ourselves to heaven filled with doubts and
discouragement, anxiety and perhaps even frustration and anger and, very
possibly, fear. Perhaps, on those difficult days, we felt we were a
liability to the family of God.
But in it all, the successes and the failures, the ups and downs of our
confidence and clarity, we persevered. We returned to Jesus, again and
again. We offered Him our days, despite feeling at times that what we had
to offer was not good or not good enough.
In this apostolate, we receive many graces, it is true. There can be no
denying that Jesus blesses our families. He pursues the healing and
conversion of our loved ones. No, my friends, there is absolutely no
denying the fact that Jesus rewards us even while we remain on earth. We
get more than we give.
And what is it that we give?
In all of the contact I have with lay apostles from around the world, one
thing stands out. We are an apostolate of showing up. We keep coming back.
We present ourselves for service regardless of our doubts about our
personal condition. We believe, because Jesus tells us, that what we have
to offer, our willingness, our sometimes flawed commitment, our love for
Him and for each other, is valuable, and indeed even priceless. Alone, each
one of us pledging our allegiance to the Father would impact the Renewal.
Together, our allegiance prayers and our willingness to present ourselves for service each day give heaven a powerful force with which to push God's healing Renewal into the world.
I think next year we can anticipate more failures and more triumphs. We
can anticipate old crosses, new crosses, and opportunities to assist others
with their crosses. This is life and it is the life Jesus has willed for
us. In the midst of our living out the next year of our life, if, in fact
God wills that we remain on earth for another year, we will, all together,
pledge our allegiance to the Father each day. And next January, when we
again look back, I believe we will all be a little holier, just as I pray
we are all a little holier now than we were last year. If this is how it
goes, my friends, it is good.
We must have complete confidence that we will have all that we need to
cope with anything that comes our way. Our confidence comes, not from our
trust in ourselves but from our trust in our beautiful Father, God.
With love and prayers,
Anne, a lay apostle
