BVM to db during 10:00AM Cenacle of Prayer

My children I love you. I am near to you in each moment of your lives.

Dear children do not succumb to the subtle seductions of the enemy of salvation.

My dear children listen to the Holy Spirit. Hear and respond to the call to

conversion. Amend your lives to reflect the very holiness of God.

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

“Our Lady Of Fatima”
 

Michael said:  I bow down only to Jesus Christ

Blessed Mother replied:  YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR MY SON JESUS CHRIST LOVES AND PROTECTS YOU.

- now over the picture of The Sacred Heart, St. Padre-Pio has appeared and he is celebrating mass.

-and now on the-wall … I see a LARGE BROWN CROSS …

-and now I see a LARGE  BROWN ANCHOR

-and now I see The Holy Spirit as a ‘DOVE’ on the-wall … and It’s coming from –the-wall- and is going around the room,  and It’s going “through” everyone’s heart … including everyone on the radio internet.

And now once again… I see …

"OUR LADY OF FATIMA"

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 29 - THROUGH FASTING     

Holy Sacrifice!

Nor was it to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; for then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, He has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9:25-26

--------------------

Today's verse is one of the all-time favorites among critics of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Such critics allege that the Mass "sacrifices Jesus again and again."  In reality, however, the Mass is a participation in the one and only sacrifice there ever has been, will be, or even could be for the sins of the world: the sacrifice of Christ.  Since it is a real participation, it is a real sacrifice, for Christ is our Paschal Sacrifice.  But since it is a participation, it is not a repetition.  The Christ Who is present on the altar under the appearance of bread and wine is the very same Christ Who died on the cross two thousand years ago.  The sacrifice into which we enter is the one and only sacrifice He ever offered on Calvary.  And the new life we receive from Him Who is really present in the Eucharist is the Risen Life He brought with Him out of the tomb.

Let us keep the joy of loving Jesus in our hearts. And let's share that joy with everyone we meet. Passing on joy is something which is very natural. We have no reason for not being joyful, since Christ is with us.

Christ is in our hearts.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

If there is no outrage, evil will continue

"As long as the people are not aroused to abuses or evil, they will not support social legislation. It must be remembered that all crimes against society are founded on false and wicked ideas, and until these are altered, society will not be altered. A lion is not gentle once it is behind a cage; a wild horse is not less ill-tempered because of a bridle and kicking stirrups put on it."

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

 I feel that God will let me draw aside the veils [of heaven] so that the earth will not doubt His goodness. God is not subject to eclipse or change. He is forever one and the same; nothing can contradict His will. I feel within myself a power greater than human. I feel courage and strength thanks to the grace that dwells in me. I understand souls who are suffering against hope, for I have gone through that fire myself. But God will not give [us anything] beyond our strength. Often have I lived hoping against hope, and have advanced my hope to complete trust in God. Let that which He has ordained from all ages happen to me.       (386)

On one occasion, the Lord said to me, Why are you fearful and why do you tremble when you are united to Me? I am displeased when a soul yields to vain terrors. Who will dare to touch you when you are with Me? Most dear to Me is the soul that strongly believes in My goodness and has complete trust in Me. I heap My confidence upon it and give it all it asks.      (453)

Jan 29 - THROUGH FASTING

In the second year of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin gave the following message on fasting :

The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature. Charity cannot replace fasting. Those who are not able to fast can sometimes replace it with prayer, works of love, and confession; but everyone, except the sick, must fast (First Years July 21,1982).

Fasting was a common practice in the early church. In this passage, Paul and Barnabas fast and pray for the new church leaders :

And after they has appointed elders for them in each church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe (Acts 1 4 :23).

Reflection :

In the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer wrote, Who will pray, he must fast and be clean, And fat his soul, and make his body lean.

Fasting is a difficult teaching, for it entails sacrifice and self-denial. And yet Our Lord and his Mother would not ask it of us unless it were vitally important, as Mary says, to " the salvation of the world, " to the fulfillment of her plans in Medjugorje. And as she has told us many times, those plans are totally dependent on our prayers and sacrifices.

If we feel trepidation at the prospect of fasting, it is best simply to confide this to Our Lady and ask for the special graces we need to live this message. We can be sure that she will answer this prayer without delay, for she urgently needs our help.

Application :

Asking boldly for Mary's help, make a decision to fast this Friday. Be sure to offer this sacrifice for one of your prayer intentions, or those of Our Lady, since fasting greatly amplifies the power of prayer, even to working the miraculous.
