Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.22,2008

 

I am speaking to all My People:  listen to Me

 

January 22, 2008

 

JNSR:  My God, I beg You, let Your Holy Grace come to deliver your children.  Do not allow evil forces with wrong informations, to upset the Truth.  Lord, what is really happening?

 

JESUS:  I already told you that this battle against God and His Church is really the battle against David and Goliath. 

 

And that means that all hands must remain in a position of supplication, such as the hands of Moses supported by Hur and Aaron.  For God, Our Father allows Himself to be touched and gives His Holy Grace when we allude to His Holy Truth.

 

            That battle, started in Italy, and targeting the highest Dignitary of My Church on Earth, is a declared war against Christ Himself.

 

            That country has supported Christianity and My Pope has blessed it.  You all know the fate of the martyrs. 

 

Just like Paul,  that Country that they wanted pagan, has turned around and like one only Subject of Christ JESUS, it stood up, finding again its vision and acclaiming God before the whole world.

 

            Nation after Nation,  I shall conquer them all,  for in this war, as I told you, the country that will use nuclear arms,  these will all turn against it.

 

            The pretext used to annihilate Christianity at its very seat, has just failed, inspiring the greatest animosity known in these Times.

 

            Like a wet fire cracker, it has left only enemies of God, who, little by little, will be discovered everywhere. 

 

Under the simple but cruel pretext of  secularism for all,  a strength is showing again in your country that bears so many Christian souvenirs. 

 

Do not think France is not vulnerable, for it nearly adopted secularism which renders it similar to a statue with the bosom still appearing alive (that is its Christian past), but the rest of the body is of a new material, some sort of plaster of different colors and ready to disintegrate, like this momentary Power under attack from all sides.

 

That  staggering statue is the France of today,

when it was to support all the countries and demonstrate its power to all, as the eldest Daughter of the Church. 

 

And in the case of Italy,  the forces of the enemies of Christ wished to defeat the Church and the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on Earth.

 

My Pope kept his dignity from his opponents of the University of Rome, then, that Sunday, an immense crowd acclaimed him on St. Peter's Square.  But, in that opposition to the Pope, it is the premonitory sign of the cunning maneuvers of My Enemy at the Vatican, as I told you before in December.  Be vigilant and pray,  pray  in order to support My Church and My Pope.

 

            My child, I speak to you so as to warn the World of all that is being planned already in the world and you must immediately warn the children forming My Royal Crown. 

 

All those who remove  My Thorns,  with the help of My Holy Church, so as to build this Crown of children, praying and obedient to God.  When all My Thorns are gone, thanks to all the Holy Masses celebrated in the whole world, then nothing will oppose  My Strength united to yours,  fighting all the forces of Evil, present and to come.

 

            The Pope, there is My Church, prudent but active, for it is obedient to God.

 

            Only Love can conquer all the evil tendencies and the satanic plans.  Pray,  as I ask you to do, and as I have already told you.  Ask Me for Faith.  I give you Hope.

 

            Do not answer those who oppose what I am asking you.  Do as My Pope does, use another path to hear Me.  For I speak in you, JNSR My child, and  I will increase your strength by tenfold when you have to inform My children of Love of all that I  give you.

 

Your God, JESUS Christ,

 

your gentle Love.

Today's Message

March 12, 2008

 

“I am your Brother”

 

Reading: John 10:1-18

 

Dear friends,

 

“Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up the mountain, and sat down there. Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute and many others.

 

They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. The crowd were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.” Matthew 15:29-31

 

I was with Jesus in contemplative prayer this morning for a half-hour. He said, “Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and I love with all My heart all My brothers and sisters living in the world.

 

My joy is full when you accept Me as your Messiah and Lord and follow Me every day. When I was on earth I showed My love for the people by curing them of all their sicknesses.

 

Many sick people came to Me during My public life and asked to be healed. They would bring these poor people to the house where I was staying or they would lay them on the road where I would pass.

 

My compassion for them would prompt Me to help them. I came to renew the world and I started by bringing health to all those who were sick. I would place My hand on them and they were completely healed. These healings, of course, brought great joy to all those who were healed.

 

When the people saw that I had the power to heal their bodies, many accepted that I came from God and some accepted that I was the Messiah.

 

The first to believe in Me as the Saviour were the Apostles, and Peter, in the name of the others, made a public act of faith in Me. They had seen the many miracles I had performed. If I could heal their bodies, surely I could heal their spirits.

 

Today I continue to heal the sick and many miracles are happening throughout the world. These make people think and for many who are healed or who witness a healing, their faith grows.

 

I want every person to believe in Me as his or her Lord and Saviour. I am your Brother who shows you the way home and who enlightens the way. I love you.”

 

Father Melvin

 

P.S. I heard today that the message of yesterday from Ivan of Medjugorje was false. Somebody spread that around in 2006.

 

I am appealing to you all once more to help Father Charles financially so that he can go to a Catholic university in the autumn. Thank you very much.

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 15 - Read the Bible

 

A Thank You to the Mass Media

"Possible to Nourish One's Spirit Through Radio, TV and Internet"

"When I am before the Tabernacle, I can say only one thing to Our Lord: 'My God, you know that I love you.' 

 

And I feel my prayer does not tire Jesus; knowing the helplessness of His poor little spouse, He is content with her good will" (St. Therese, The Little Flower).

 

The Cross is the noble seat of uncreated Wisdom that teaches me the most high doctrines, subtle and sublime.

 

Therefore, the Cross alone will unveil to me the most secret mysteries, the most hidden things, the most perfect perfection, hidden to the most learned and wise of the world.

Pope John Paul II -

 

June 1986 response to a group of twelve Italian bishops seeking pastoral advice on people making pilgrimages to Medjugorje. "Let the people go to Medjugorje if they convert, pray, confess, do penance and fast." http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.htm

 

Mother Teresa -

 

Love begins at home.

Everything depends on how we love each other. Do not be afraid to love until it hurts, for this is how Jesus loved.

 

Each suffering that the soul endures, is one more dominion which she attains over herself.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

He who begins to love, must be ready to suffer (CE, 25).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

The greater our love for God, the less our needs in this world

 

"Contentment is based on the idea that `our sufficiency is not from ourselves but from God.' The soul does not desire or lack more than what God has supplied him.

 

His will suits his state after he has exhausted his resources and his desire does not exceed his power. Hence everything that happens is judged to be as good and worthy of Divine appointment. As Socrates observed: `He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things.'"

 

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

 

 

O Lord, my Love, I thank You for this day on which You have allowed me to draw a wealth of graces from the fountain of Your unfathomable mercy.

 

O Jesus, not only today, but at every moment, I draw from Your unfathomable mercy everything that the soul and body could want.       (1178)

 

Jesus. From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls.

 

The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls. Speak to the whole world about My mercy.       (1190)

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

Mar 15  -  READ THE BIBLE

 

The Queen of Peace speaks of scripture to the prayer group:

 

I ask you again to multiply your prayers to prepare yourself for Easter. Also, read the Bible, especially those passages that speak of the Passion of Jesus. Prepare yourself to look at Jesus "eye to eye".

 

Tonight when you go home, pray in front of the cross in thanksgiving for all the graces you have received (Visionary Prayer Group March 17, 1989).

 

In Hebrews, Paul speaks of the power of scripture:

 

Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb 4:12).

 

Reflection:

 

The American poet Timothy Dwight once said: "The Bible is a window in this prison-world, through which we may look into eternity."

 

And yet cannot enlighten or reveal God's will to us unless we read and reflect upon it, which Our Lady calls us to do today.

 

In Hebrews, Paul speaks of scripture as living, life-changing, and dynamic. God's word reveals who we are and the purpose of life. It penetrates the core of our moral and spiritual life; it helps us to discern what is within us, both good and bad.

 

As the message of scripture becomes a part of us, it will affect our lifestyle, character, and decisions. It will begin to shape our lives.

 

Application:

 

Continue to make sacred scripture a part of your daily life. As Our Lady requests of us for Lent, begin to read the narratives of Christ's Passion, beginning today with Matthew 26:36 –27:61. The others are Mark 14:32—15:47; Luke 22:3923:56; and John 18:1—19:42.

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 14 - Satan is trying to destroy

 

 "Our Lady gave her flesh for the Incarnation and thereby made possible the Eucharist, where we receive the Flesh that is Bread for the world.

 

In going to the encounter with Our Lady, young people themselves learn to offer their own flesh, their daily life, so that it may be given over to the Lord. And they learn to believe and little by little to say 'yes' to the Lord." 

 

"I am very grateful because Eucharistic Adoration is being increasingly renewed. During the Synod on the Eucharist, the Bishops talked a great deal about their experiences, of how new life is being restored to communities with this adoration, and also with nocturnal adoration, and how, precisely in this way, new vocations are also born" (Pope Benedict XVI, Feb. 22, 2007).

 

 

 

 St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr (d. 107), Syria—Oct. 17

"Be careful, therefore, to take part only in the one Eucharist; for there is only one Flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ and one cup to unite us with His Blood."

 

The Cross grafts into me all the virtues.

 

Mother Teresa -

 

Find Jesus, and you will find peace.

 

The Cross is to the creature as the bridle to the horse

 

What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle? The Cross tames him and restrains him. It softens him, pacifies him and leads him by the hand.

 The soul by becoming all love, is in continuous contact with Me.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

The good-hearted mean is always strong; he suffers, he sheds tears and he consoles himself sacrificing himself for God and his neighbor (CE, 23).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

The good of sacrifice makes the effort worthwhile

 

"The violin strings, if they were conscious, would complain when the musician tightened them, but this is because they do not see that the sacrificial strain was necessary before they could produce a perfect melody.

 

Evils actually become lighter by patient endurance and benefits are poisoned by discontent."

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

 

 

God's floodgates have been opened for us. Let us want to take advantage of them before the day of God's justice arrives. And that will be a dreadful day!       (1159)

 

Today during the Angelus, the Lord gave me an understanding of God's incomprehensible love for people. He lifts us up to His very Godhead. His only motives are love and fathomless mercy.

 

Though You make known the mystery to us through an Angel, You yourself carry it out.       (1172)

 

Whatever Jesus did, He did well. He went along, doing good. His manner was full of goodness and mercy. His steps were guided by compassion.

 

Toward His enemies He showed goodness, kindness, and understanding, and to those in need help and consolation.

 

I have resolved to mirror faithfully these traits of Jesus in myself during this month, even if this costs me much.       (1175)

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

MARCH 14 - SATAN IS TRYING TO DESTROY

 

Regarding Satan, the Blessed Mother said to Ivan's prayer group:

 

"Dear Children, during this Lent Satan is trying by every means to destroy in you what we have started. I warn you as a mother, let prayer be your weapon against him. (Visionary Prayer Group March 12,1988).

 

In his first letter, Peter also warns of Satan:

 

Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the Devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.

 

Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. (1 Pt 5:8-9).

 

Reflection:

 

The Madonna of Medjugorje continues to emphasize the reality and danger of Satan, for just as a physician cannot treat an illness without a diagnosis, so we cannot fight the Evil One without first acknowledging his existence and power.

 

In a sermon in Medjugorje on this subject, Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, at one time the spiritual director of the visionaries, said: "Recently Our Lady's messages have been warning us of Satan's presence and we in Medjugorje have actually been experiencing this.

 

 It is not an academic question for us, but the actual experience of Satan's presence and attacks…

 

But Our Lady has taught us how to face this problem, how to fight it. She always points out the weapons we can use against the Evil One: prayer, penance, and as active spiritual life…

 

Through Our Lady, we have discovered Satan's presence hidden in civilization, which has denied his existence, just as it has denied the presence of God. Satan exists, he is real. But we have the weapons to fight him.

 

Application:

 

Simply take to heart the Madonna's message today: «I warn you as a mother, let prayer be your weapon against Satan."
