BLACK CATHOLICS, BLACK SAINTS

"Dear children! Open your heart to God's mercy in this Lenten time. The Heavenly Father desires to deliver each of you from the slavery of sin. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time and through meeting with God in confession, leave sin and decide for holiness. Do this out of love for Jesus, who redeemed you all with His blood, that you may be happy and in peace. Do not forget, little children: your freedom is your weakness, therefore follow my messages with seriousness. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Message of February 25, 2006

"Dear children! In this Lenten time of grace, I call you to open your hearts to the gifts that God desires to give you. Do not be closed, but with prayer and renunciation say `yes' to God and He will give to you in abundance. As in springtime the earth opens to the seed and yields a hundredfold, so also your heavenly Father will give to you in abundance. I am with you and love you, little children, with a tender love. Thank you for having responded to my call."

"Our Lady of the Eucharistic Heart, I beg you to give Jesus to souls!"

"This morning, at the end of my meditation, I was suddenly given to understand clearly that my duty now, and my task in eternity, until the end of the world, is and will be, through the Blessed Virgin, to send forth rays from the Heart of Jesus on all souls." (Bl. Dina Belanger)

"No invocation responds better to the immense desire of my Eucharistic Heart to reign in souls than: Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, may your kingdom come through the immaculate Heart of Mary." (Words of Jesus to Bl. Dina Belanger)

Mother Teresa -

Whatever you do, even if you help somebody cross the road, you do it to Jesus.

Even if you give somebody a glass of water, you do it to Jesus.

Such a simple little teaching, but it is so important.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Meanwhile don't be afflicted to the point of losing your interior peace. Pray with perseverance, trust, and a serene and calm mind.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Only God can promise and provide perfect bliss!

"In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man, that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and that the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love."

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.

Feb 27 - ASK THEN, FOR ALL THAT YOU NEED

The following message was given to Marija while she was in America in Nov.1988 :

"I invite you to pray and to give yourselves completely to God. I will give you strength and help you whenever you are in need; ask then, for all that you need, for I will intercede for you in God's presence. " (Special Message November 23,1988).

While trusting Our Lady to give us all that we need, we will find at the same time that our trust in God will grow ever stronger :

The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

A stronghold in times of trouble.

And those who know

your name put their trust in you,

For you, O Lord,

have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9

Reflection :

The Lord never forsakes those who seek and trust him; nor can Our Lady, who is forever faithful as her Son. Although loss of suffering may wound us deeply, our God is as close as a whispered prayer. We can trust him to heal us.

This is the spirit of trust that John Cardinal Newman expressed in the following prayer :

"God created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission—I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.

I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good. I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it—if I do but keep his commandments.

Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may take away my friends, he may throw me among strangers, he may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my

future from me—still he knows what he is about. Therefore I will trust him.

Applications :

Simply reflect on Cardinal Newman's prayer once more today. You may wish to offer it especially in anxious or troubled times.

TRUE PEACE will not come to the world until all come to the CROSS.

Message from Our Lady of Emmitsburg. Feb.24,2008

Public Message

Our Lady of Emmitsburg

To the World

through Gianna Sullivan

February 24, 2008

Little children, praised be Jesus!

Let it be known that the greatest gift you can give to God the Father is to love

my Son with all your heart. He loves you. He draws you to Himself; and He

desires you to be filled, to be consumed and to be inebriated by His Love. He

wants you to be all of Him.

Little ones, you have been given a great gift of faith. It is so important,

especially now, to live your faith and to trust Jesus with all your heart---not

just in words, but in reality. Do you really believe and trust Him in all the

circumstances in your life? When things go well you seem happy; but at the

least breakdown, you crash, panic and scream for help.

You have within you the Holy Spirit! Trust Him. Surrender daily in every

circumstance. Know God?s Hand is upon you; and if you are consumed by His Love,

you would only experience the depth and breadth of Peace.

Even in the midst of trials, you can be free, filled with joy, and at peace.

This is the greatest gift of your mercy and love that you can give to my Son

during this Lenten Season. Trust, and live the gift of your faith. It is not

in signs; it is not in visions; it is living in His Truth.

I bless you. I take all your petitions to my most Sorrowful and Immaculate

Heart, and I lay them at the Foot of my Son?s Cross.

Be children of light and love. Anything is possible with God!

Do you believe?

Reflection by Fr. John B. Wang

In this message, our Heavenly Mother again talks about the preciousness of love

and faith. She asks us to fill our hearts with Jesus? love and offer that love

to God the Father. This would be the greatest gift we can offer to Heaven, for

love reigns supreme and surpasses anything and everything.

Faith is another invaluable gift, which not only enables us to believe the

revealed truths, but also to trust in God?s Divine Providence. This trust,

absolute and total, unconditional and unshakeable, brings us freedom, peace and

joy under all circumstances, auspicious or inauspicious, benign or noxious. We

must, therefore, pray for and live in these two supernatural virtues.

Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.6,2008

He who is Risen, your King JESUS Christ

The Risen One speaks to you

*******

January 6, 2008

JESUS: It is on My Holy Resurrection that I founded My Holy Church. It is Universal and alive, for you are all Living beings, in the Image of God.

It is the Cathedral of the Eternal Light and the Purificator. It is the Knowledge of the Eternal Kingdom of God. My Church, My real Church has no walls and is all around Me, with Lights and melodious sounds unknown to men. It is so high and wide that it really extends on all sides to infinity. It has no borders. In the invisible, it radiates, opening its doors, and all My called children may come in.

Indeed, they are always within Me,

for My Holy Church, it is Myself,

your Lord JESUS Christ,

with His Most Holy Cross of Love,

the necessary Key to come in.

I wanted to entrust My great Key, My Holy Cross of Love that reminds you by its 738 meters, of Golgotha, to the Church in France, chosen by My Father and your Father, and I made it the manager of My Cross. That Cross with the blessing of God and of His Bishop, would have become the Great Cross and the Key to the Universal Pardon from God. This Cross, it is the Commitment of God who, seeing the Repentance of the World, opens His Arms to all sinners of the converted world.

In each country, its government is a manager that must deliver his management to the next, and this, to the last one who is called and who will have to hand over to Me all the lands, the goods and the authority, for EVERYTHING must be given back to God. On the Earth, everything is short-lived, everything must return to God, all must come back to God.

But, with this decadence caused by Power and Money, envy, jealousy and hatred, very few men have used the Talents I had entrusted to them so they would bear fruit.

I will not receive even the Talents I gave them. I will only find at the end of their mandate, useless servants, squanderers, greedy and determined to keep for themselves alone, God's Goods and even the large surplus meant to be distributed among the poorest, as I always recommended them to do.

Your disobedience affected even the Church upon the Earth: it hid within itself the request of the Great Priest par excellence, JESUS Christ. The very One who gave it His Life and to whom He wanted to entrust His Key, His Cross, so as to open, through the Church on the Earth, the Door to Heaven, to all the Nations that would have come there, drawn by the Master of the Harvest, in order to deposit the good seed freed from the weed.

For the Cross of World Repentance is also the Cross of the Forgiveness of God. Alas, the time still left to you will run out. The sand-glass that must give you the Sign is before your eyes. Your faith in My Holy Word is dying and yet, I still offer you My Holy Hand:

your Prayers and your offerings of Masses for World Repentance,

I am waiting for them!

Your Lord JESUS Christ.

Amen. †

First Wednesdays begin March 5th

Wednesday, March 5, 2008 is the first of the five First Wednesdays in honor of

the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph.

In her message on April 24, 2005 Our Lady first asked us to have a devotion to

St. Joseph.

?St. Joseph, who accompanied me, I desire you to have a great devotion

to him and love for him and his most chaste heart. He is the foster father of

Jesus, my beloved spouse, and towards the end, when he departed this life, his

soul became without sin, and during the Resurrection, he accompanied my Son

bodily into Heaven. He is the Saint of All Saints because of what he has worked

on earth, living chastely, living in poverty, and loving God and Jesus above his

own self. He is a model of fathers and model of spouses. I desire you all to

imitate his virtues. Pray to him. He hears your prayers and will grace you

with many graces. Ask him to be chaste in heart, and he will help you. (Our

Lady is smiling, she says,) In no way does devotion to St. Joseph detract from

devotion to me or to Jesus. In fact, it leads you to me and to Jesus in a more

intimate way. Go to him, for he hears your prayers.?

In his message of September 13, 2005, St. Joseph said,

?My Son Jesus and the Holy Blessed Virgin Mary desire that there be

devotion

made to my Most Chaste Heart. Let the world know that Jesus, God the Father,

the Holy Spirit, and the Blessed Mother no longer desire this devotion to remain

hidden. Let all people receive and make the First Wednesdays devotions devoted

to my Most Chaste Heart. They will receive purity in abundance, and graces will

abide for fathers and all people if they will venerate this chosen, chaste heart

of mine. It is through this heart that was there for the mother and there for

the Son, I come to ask you to recite the five Joyful Mysteries on Wednesdays and

to spend time meditating upon my joys and sorrows, for I was there. The first

five Wednesdays are to be made and are to be venerated beginning in March. Let

this be known, that I desire this holy devotion to be practiced.

Therefore, you shall make and do four ?first devotions.? 1) the First Mondays

of God the Father, 2) the first Wednesdays of the month, dedicated to my Most

Chaste Heart, 3) the First Fridays dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and

4) the First Saturdays devoted to the Immaculate Heart of your mother. By these

four hearts, we shall save the world.

I desire this message be made known to the world, and I am appearing publicly so

that it may be made known, for too long have I appeared to other people and had

this devotion kept silent. Now it is time. Fathers need a strong role model

they can look up to, and they need to know that they can count on me. Graces

will abide through this heart for all fathers, which are the head of the

household, and therefore to all families.?
