BLACK CATHOLICS, BLACK SAINTS

To you I lift up my eyes who are enthroned in heaven. Behold, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress, so are our eyes on the Lord, our God, till he have pity on us. Psalm 123:1-2

I spent a half-hour in prayer this morning with Jesus, Our Lord. He said, Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you and all My brothers and sisters living throughout the world.

I shower upon you all the graces you need and I desire that you turn your eyes toward Me and open your heart to accept these gifts of Mine. I yearn for a new revival among the people of the world that they would leave the past behind and look forward to the glory of My Kingdom, which is already among you. I call you all to pray for this intention of Mine.

My life on earth teaches you that after My suffering and death on the cross there was the Resurrection and the Ascension. Now I live in glory with My Heavenly Father forever.

You too will have a time of suffering but this is not the end, for it will bring you to eternal joy with Me forever if you believe in Me and walk with Me every day. Do not be discouraged concerning your sufferings today but know that it will be much better in the future.

You know that the season of Lent is followed by the joys of Easter. Live just one day at a time cooperating with all the graces I give you.

The saints, who are My great friends, are great examples for you. Read the lives of some of them such as Blessed Brother Andre of Montreal, St. Rose of Lima, St. Padre Pio, St. Charles Luanga, Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and the martyrs of Japan.

All these were joined with Me in their suffering and they cooperated very well with the graces I gave them. They are all with Me in the eternal Kingdom of heaven. I want all of you to be members of My heavenly Kingdom one day.

May your life on earth be a preparation for the glory of heaven. I bless you and I keep you all close to My Heart.

Father Melvin

P.S. I thank all those who sent sympathy cards or e-mail on the death of my mother. I appreciate very much your prayers and words of comfort.

I also thank those who sent money to help Father Charles pay his tuition at the university. He still needs much more money, as the tuition is $15,000.

To send a personal message to Fr. Melvin, address your e-mail to: melvin.doucette@...

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 08 - GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS

"With ever-living ardor, contemplate Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. Following His example, be ready in all circumstances to make yourselves instruments of mercy and communion.

The secret of pastoral success is the crucified and risen Lord, Whom we adore in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. As you well know, in order to be eloquent signs of His love and instigators of His peace in all environments, everyone is first of all asked to cultivate an intimate and constant familiarity with Him.

From intense participation in the Eucharist springs the spiritual energy needed to bring all projects of goodness to fruition." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)

The Cross suffered by you, Jesus Christ, freed me from the slavery of the devil and wed me to the Divinity with an indissoluble bond.

"I am one who came up out of Egypt, and pray God none of my seed shall return thither

. . . . I fell in love with the Blessed Sacrament from the beginning—and by the mercy of God never have fallen out again . . . .

Out of wickedness and sloth I almost ceased to practice my religion . . . . Not for me the Hound of Heaven, but the never-ceasing silent appeal of Tabernacle, and the sense of starving hunger" (J. R. R. Tolkien).

Pope John Paul II -

Mother Teresa -

It is very important that right from the beginning we simply live the gospel. Live the gospel in prayer; live the gospel in words.

You won't be able to give what you don't have.

ray for priests in order that they may be a light in the people so that, as the light rises again, the laity may be able to obtain light and see the errors they commit.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

I understand very well, that your Calvary is becoming more and more painful. But remember that it was on Calvary the Jesus redeemed us, and the salvation of redeemed souls must be accomplished there (Letters III, p. 452).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

You cannot be indifferent and be content

"The Eastern World has struck on the secret of inner peace by suggesting that inner happiness is dependent on the control and limitation of desires.

St. Paul said: `I have learned to be content with what I have' (Philippians 4: 11). Contentment is not indifference though the ignorant sometimes make that identification."

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

O my Jesus, You are giving me back my health and life; give me also strength for battle, because I am unable to do anything without You.

Give me strength, for You can do all things. You see that I am a frail child, and what can I do: I know the full power of Your mercy, and I trust that You will give me everything Your feeble child needs. (898)

Today, during the Passion Service, I saw Jesus being tortured and crowned with thorns and holding a reed in His hand. Jesus was silent as the soldiers were bustling about, vying with each other in torturing Him.

Jesus said nothing, but just looked at me, and in that gaze I felt His pain, so terrible that we have not the faintest idea of how much He suffered for us before He was crucified.

My soul was filled with pain and longing; in my soul, I felt great hatred for sin, and even the smallest infidelity on my part seemed to me like a huge mountain for which I must expiate by mortification and penance.

When I see Jesus tormented, my heart is torn to pieces, and I think: what will become of sinners if they do not take advantage of the Passion of Jesus? In His Passion, I see a whole sea of mercy. (948)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 8 - GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS

The Blessed Mother speaks of love to the prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo:

"Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see so many of you. I desire, dear children, that from today you begin to live a different life. Your Mother gives you her love and asks that you give this love to others so that we can all live the Easter message. When you return to your homes, conclude the day with prayer (Visionary Prayer Group March 4, 1989)

Of love, St. Peter writes:

Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Pt 4:8).

Reflection:

The message of love of neighbor reaches far back in our Judeo-Christian roots. The rabbi Hillel was a renowned scribe in Jerusalem about the time of Christ's birth; he seems to have died about A.D. 10 at an advanced age.

He was called "the Great" or "the Elder," and his interpretations of the Law were more generous than others. He is said to have been the grandfather of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) who taught St. Paul.

Jesus must have heard often of Hillel, and could possibly have spoken with him as a youth during the three days he remained in the Temple. Here is one of the tales Our Lord probably heard.

A certain Gentile came to Shammai (Shammai was the leader of the more strict school of interpretation) and said that he would like to become a convert, but could not stay long in Jerusalem. "Can you teach me the whole Torah while I am standing on one foot?"

Shammai sent him away angrily. So the Gentile went to Hillel with the same question.

Hillel admitted him as a convert, and said, "Whatever is hateful to thee, do not do to thy fellow man. This is the whole Torah, all the rest is commentary. Now go and study."

Application:

For reflection today: Love seeketh not itself to please, Nor for itself have any care, But for another gives its ease, And builds a heaven in hell's despair (William Blake)

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 07 - PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION

"In this vale of tears our life is a continual warfare. We battle against

the enemies of our salvation: the world with its doctrine and example, our own corrupted nature, and the archfiend of human souls, who, the Prince of the Apostles [St. Peter] says, 'as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour' (1 Peter 5:8).

We receive many a wound in this conflict—as often as we succumb to temptation. Great is our need of a physician, and our Physician is Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament" (Fr. Lukas, Etlin, O.S.B.).

"Return to me with all your heart" (Joel 2:12). "The love of the Blessed Sacrament is the grand and royal devotion of faith; it is faith multiplied, faith intensified, faith glorified . . .

Out of it there comes three special graces which are the very life and soul of an interior life: an overflowing charity to all around us, a thirst to sacrifice ourselves for God, and a generous and filial love of Holy Church" (Fr. Frederick Faber).

Pope John Paul II -

Pope John Paul II to Fr Jozo Zovko June 17 1992

"I give you my blessing. Take courage, I am with you. Tell Medjugorje I am with you. Protect Medjugorje."

Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 20

Mother Teresa -

Love until it hurts; it takes deep sacrifice to proclaim the word of God.

My sufferings took as if forms of light, and they placed themselves before the Lord as in an act of adoration.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Therefore, don't fear at all, but consider yourself extremely fortunate to have been worthy of participating in the sufferings of the God-Man.

So there is no abandonment, but love, and great love which God is showing you. Your state is not one of punishment, but one of exquisite love.

Therefore bless the Lord for this, and resign yourself to drinking the chalice of Gethsemane (Letters III, p. 445).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

It's the ol' "bait and switch" in advertising

"Contentment depends upon the control of our desires. Advertising serves many needs but it has also made luxuries appear as necessities, and created a desire for goods which the individual cannot possibly possess in their fullness."

St. Faustina's diary

http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -

While I was saying the chaplet, I heard a voice which said, Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this chaplet; the very depths of My tender mercy are stirred for the sake of those who say the chaplet.

Write down these words, My daughter. Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy.

It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them.

O human souls, where are you going to hide on the day of God's anger: Take refuge now in the fount of God's mercy. O what a great multitude of souls I see! They worshiped the Divine Mercy and will be singing the hymn of praise for all eternity. (848)

Today the Lord's gaze shot through me suddenly, like lightning. At once, I came to know the tiniest specks in my soul, and knowing the depths of my misery, I fell to my knees and begged the Lord's pardon, and with great trust I immersed myself in His infinite mercy.

Such knowledge does not depress me nor keep me away from the Lord, but rather it arouses in my soul greater love and boundless trust. The repentance of my heart is linked to love.

These extraordinary flashes from the Lord educate my soul. O sweet rays of God, enlighten me to the most secret depth, for I want to arrive at the greatest possible purity of heart and soul. (852)

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.

Mar 7 - PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION

During Lent of 1988, Our Lady said to Ivan's prayer group:

"Prepare yourself for the time of Lent by renouncing something. During Lent I will need your help for the accomplishment and fulfillment of all my plans (Visionary Prayer Group February 1, 1988)

Ezekiel also asks us to renounce something—the spirit of sin:

But if the wicked turn away from all their sins that they have committed and keep all my statues and do what is lawful and right, they shall surely live; they shall not die.

None of the transgressions that they have committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that they have done they shall live (Ez 18:21-22).

Reflection:

The concept of renunciation or penance often has a negative connotation; to give up something for Lent or Advent seems to be an imposition that no one welcomes.

And yet the actual effect of penance is to set us spiritually free; we develop a greater desire for God and a growing freedom from material things---and thus peace begins to take root in our hearts.

When we begin to live this interior freedom from exterior things, we begin rapidly in the spiritual life.

Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries, has written:

Once you embrace God, you let go of other things, because there is no room for them anymore. So the core issue is not giving up luxury or wealth; you have found something better when you have found God. God leaves no room in your life for other things.

For instance, a candidate for the Olympic swimming team will need to "renounce" smoking if he is to realize his dream of competing for the gold medal.

When Our Lady asks a penance or sacrifice from us, it is so that we can win in the spiritual life, with its attendant gift of inner peace. The issue is one of liberation or freedom from material appetites that shackle us from embracing God more and more with our hearts.

Application:

Let us heed the Gospa's request today by renouncing (giving up) something special so that we can grow spiritually.

Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.16,2008

Divine Intellect, Gift of God

January 16, 2008

JNSR: What do You want to tell me today, so that I speak to all Your children?

JESUS : Nothing is more important than what I inspire to each heart that is listening. Like the flood-gate that opens by necessity, today, I open the Flood-gate of Heaven.

When you say: "that through kindness towards one and to others who are willing to help God in His informations, I am willing to keep you informed on the state of certain things", My child, it is necessary to place each thing in its time.

And this time that has come is a time when everything will be very hard to understand, for the traps of the Evil One will not cease to be everywhere, sometimes creating such confusion that you will think that I am the One showing you a path to follow, or that I expect something from you. Beware, for many will be fooled.

In everything, be careful, and remember that God will never ask you the impossible. Today, the Evil One will confuse every path.

When I wish to open a channel in order to talk to you, you will know, but never force the communication, for I am not in anything that resists Me and that can only be opened by force: through hearing, nothing is from Me.

That is why you must be very careful: from now on, it will be through interior visions that I will speak to you and you will know it, because of My Love in you and for My attentive children.

Many countries want to hold meetings in order to ruin you, especially against the Country of My Holy Birth, for it is by totally stripping bare, that they will seize it. Jacob-Israel knows it well, and his Ladder, he is opening it and this time he is throwing it himself from the Earth to Heaven.

Rest assured that the invisible is much more active than ever. The cunning ones shall not win the struggle with the Lord; even if today they are numerous.

I am watching and watch with Me all of you. My child, keep on writing for Me. I speak to you for Israel as for every country that wants Peace.

It is not with presents that one can win a cause. God alone is the Master of all Nations.

Gifts are like coins having two faces. And like a present, it is claiming some exchange, perhaps not of the same value, but nevertheless its own weight demands some response in return.

Thus buying one's peace of mind, buying Peace is like one who wants to buy the wind: it

escapes and has no value, never can we know its weight nor its price.

Israel wants to buy its Peace and thus it even offers the Gift of God to its brother who is in a critical situation, unstable and dangerous.

God wishes to remind us once again that Jacob bears the name of Israel from now on, and God Alone can offer him Peace.

Ever since he wrestled with the Angel of God, God calls him Israel, and that existing battle with Peace in sight, is but a promise.

Indeed it is a spiritual battle which will end before starting, for behold the Dawn is arriving with the Day of the Eternal One.

That extended arm to offer what is no longer Jacob's, since he is Israel, God shall twist his arm before he goes on breaking up again the Gift of God. Israel can, in no way, be similar to other Nations: God is requesting it not to wrestle with Him any longer.

(NBRS 6: 22-27)

Only the Eternal One can give you His Peace, by acknowledging to all Nations God's True Name, which is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is the Universal Christ, Gift of the Father. For the Christian World, the Jewish World and soon for all Nations, it will be thus.

There is but One God, Unique and True, whose name is Yeshoua, and is written Y H Sh W H: Y (Father) - H (Holy Spirit) - Sh (Human Nature of the Son) - W(Divine Nature of the Son) - H (Holy Spirit).

My child, keep on writing. No one can say that God is into politics. But God can blur or destroy in a second, all the stratagems of the World if the Equilibrium of the World is in jeopardy.

Because of that, the Lord asks everyone to be vigilant in everything. And what is being prepared around you, must in no way, bring you to be careless and not to be on your guard. Not wanting to refer to all that has already been said and announced, you must remain awake.

In Heaven, the Sentinels of God who see everything, are also trying to convince you that a man in the know is better than a man asleep.

They are so very near you that they are ready to show you the way you have to take, to beware of those very risky ones, such as the ancient Empire of the Czars and the Chinese Empire and some others just beside them. They also, will hear Me.

But I repeat: Peace can only come from God, and informing the Countries, those wanting Peace, to remain united between themselves and with God. I am the God of Victory in Peace.

And now, let Me speak to the warlike Spirit: if that Spirit escapes from those who will begin the atomic war against all those countries desiring only Peace, that fire, started by an evil spirit, will only be for a very short time, but there will be no victor.

Not even one look-alike human being, not even one lone man standing by himself, being sustained by his own structure of bones, so as to bury his brothers or enemies, for there will be nothing left to bury.

The nuclear arm will have transformed the whole Earth in little pieces so that it will be impossible to tell whether this is stone or bone, those ashes that cannot be called Earth.

So that all will understand, the Good as well as the not so Good, I will show them this same letter: what good would be such a war, for you all possess this destructive bomb!

Ah, if only you had kept within you, in your original genes, the Intelligence of God, this unique gift reserved for these unique times, in order to choose in all divine intelligence this unique answer to all your problems of this day for you are all on the edge of the cliff.

So, who will be right: war or Peace? Who will you choose: God or the Evil One? You know, you are already near Me, ready to find Me again if you, again, find your Original Intelligence, that which God has placed within you, so that you could find it just in time.

Everyone will then know that I am not far from you and that I am the Unique God who loves you exactly as you are, for coming to Me, you will recognize Me, for I dwell in everyone.

And then, the Omega will end this total lack of understanding, existing to this day, for you will have lived this key phrase: Search and you shall find.

God is peace, Love and Pardon, and today it is getting late and for each of My children, I let Myself be found.

I come to make you discover the Intelligence of God, that I placed in each of you and I come to light up the whole Earth with the Breath of the Holy Spirit, the Divine Fire that will dwell in all hearts, with the Fire of My Divine Sacred Heart which is consumed with the Love for all My children of Love.

The stupid Beast of this World, living in the brains that welcomed it and nurtured it, that which is pride and vanity, envy and jealousy, senses its near death.

Just like the spirit of Evil and the spirit of these Times who is its acolyte, are now agonizing, for My Time of Love and Peace has been announced to them and they already feel it.

JESUS, Victor over the World.

† † †

Note: This Message from JESUS is the echo of an earlier Message given to JNSR on August 10, 1990 in "Witnesses of the Cross, Vol. 1".

" Prayer must come up like a WALL between Evil and all of you who pray. That WALL must be erected to protect all the Countries that will be invaded.

Teach everyone that a Prayer is more effective than an ATOMIC bomb. The incense from your prayers is STRONGER than those high tech engines put in place, in order to destroy Humanity, by those Men who have no humanity left in them.

I will not let them act as far as the disaster they seek; they will take with them in their coffins, their infernal machines with all that they contain, including their own corpse. If JESUS did not intervene, there would never be another green blade of grass on your Planet so very damaged. But, for some time yet, Man has the word, and his word is: DEATH.

When will you understand that to refuse to love and to serve your One True God, has brought your World to this extreme limit? No, not yet.

Therefore, I will let these Times go and they will end in Fear and Destruction. I will intervene before Humanity is lost forever. For sucis Man: he believes he can stop the scourge of Death by responding with Death".
