St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Spouse of the Bl.
Virgin Mary:
"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector. As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus, we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love. He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues. Leading us to Jesus, he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.' How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . . Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

"Jesus seems continually to exclaim from the altar: Come to me, all you who work hard and who carry heavy burdens and I will refresh you (Matthew 11:28).
Come, He says, come you who are poor; come, you who are infirm; come, you who are afflicted; come, you who are just and you who are sinners, and you shall find in me a remedy for all your losses and afflictions. This is the desire of Jesus Christ: to console every person who calls upon Him" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).

The Cross is the torch of working Faith.

Pope John Paul II -

On April 2, 1986 reported by Fr. Ivan Dugandzic, OFM, during a meeting with the Holy Father. The Holy Father told him that he follows the events continuously. "You can tell everyone that each day I pray for a happy conclusion to these events." http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.htm

Mother Teresa -

Trust in the good God who loves us, who cares for us, who sees all, knows all, can do all things for my good and the good of souls. One thing Jesus asks of me: that I lean upon Him; that in Him alone I put complete trust; that I surrender myself to Him unreservedly. Love Jesus with a big heart.
Serve Jesus with joy and gladness of spirit, casting aside and forgetting all that troubles and worries you.

If you peal back the veil of humanity, you should see the Divinity

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us not spare ourselves on our ascent to Calvary for love He Who sacrificed Himself for love of us and let us patient, certain of our flight for Tabor (ASN, 42).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Think about what has filled our void today!

"An age without faith is an age of superstition. Religious belief is so essential to the heart that once it is cast aside, some false form is called in to fill the void. Unless the house is tenanted with goodness, seven devils worse than the first come in to dwell there."

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 19 - ST. JOSEPH, HUSBAND OF MARY

As St. Joseph is the patron of workers, it is appropriate today that we hear Our Lady's special message on this topic:

"Dear Children, always pray before your work and end it with prayer. If you do that, God will bless you and your work. These last days, you have prayed little and worked very much. Pray more. In prayer, you will find rest (Weekly Message (July 5, 1984).

In his second letter to the Thessalonians, St. Paul also takes up the theme of work:

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, and we did not eat anyone's bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you. This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to give you an example to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat (2 Thes 3:7-10)

Reflection:

Today we honor St. Joseph, the great guardian and protector of God's greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son, and Mary, our Mother. St. Bernadine of Siena, a Franciscan of the 15^th century, once wrote, "In Joseph the Old Testament finds its fitting close.

He brought the noble line of patriarchs and prophets to its promised fulfillment. What God had offered as a promise to them, he held in his arms."

Joseph is also the patron saint of workers, which is the subject of our readings today, He taught the skills of carpentry to Jesus, who gave labor an intrinsic dignity. From the Vatican II document "The Church Today": "We hold that by offering his labor to God, a man becomes associated with the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who conferred an eminent dignity on labor when, at Nazareth, he worked with his own hands." In the words of Kahlil Gibran, "work is love made visible"; today we celebrate this love in the person of St. Joseph.

Application:

In her message, Our Lady calls us to "always pray before your work, and end your work with prayer." Today let us do exactly that, beginning a practice that will hopefully evolve into a habit.

Teaching from Jesus through The Girl of my Will - 2003-06-11

Gathering of Love with God's Action in Saint Boniface, Manitoba, Canada
Through His Instrument, the Girl of My Will in Jesus

2003-06-11

Jesus: Children of my holy Will, you are in the presence of my action: I speak
in your hearts.

You are in me, you are in my Heart of love; I have gathered you all within me
tonight; enter within yourselves, be present with me; open your heart, I speak
in your heart.

I am Jesus of the Eucharist, I am the Presence.

You have received me within yourselves, I took you within me: life, it is you in
my Life.

Many children who come to Communion take me as being a God who is present: when
you are present, my children, it is because you are living.

I speak within you, listen to my voice, it speaks to you; do not do as the
children who think of other things as soon as they have taken me; they turn
their thought to what they are going to do after Mass: I, I want to meet with
you inside you.

Do you know, my children, that very often I search for who has received me, for
I find no one to keep me company?

I am telling you that I love you, that I want to live in your company.

Remain within me during the moment you have received me, tell me you love me; I,
I place graces of love within you to nourish your soul so that you might have a
nice day.

When your soul benefits from my graces, your life benefits from my graces; you
can work with more peace within yourselves, and when worries that rise up within
you, you are less tormented, for my graces have worked their benefits within
you.

But if you come to me without thinking about me, without telling me that you
love me, I, I am left with your graces that I would have loved to give you, but
you have already turned your back on me.

I beg you, stay with me a few moments, talk to me; let us talk about love
together, tell me that you want to give me your life, show me that you want my
graces.

My Father gave me everything, I want to give you everything.

You must learn to abandon yourselves, to give yourselves, as I give myself to
you; give me everything about yourselves with joy, with love.

I gave myself with love because I loved my Father and I loved you; when you give
yourselves to me, show me that you love me; appreciate what I want to give you:
graces of love, graces of abandonment in my Will of love: my Will is nothing but
gentleness.

I have so much love within me for you!

When I, Jesus of love, I give you my graces of love, it is to transform you into
children of love; I want you to be nothing but love, and your life will be
transformed by my surges of love; then, you will learn to trust in me, you will
trust that by abandoning yourselves in me, doubts will disappear, the fear of
not knowing how this will happen will disappear from within you, my children of
love.

Think of a child who goes to his father; he asks him for help to build his
house; he knows that because of his request his father will respond, but as soon
as his father's answer is given to him, he begins to build his house right away
without listening to his father's advice because he is in too much of a hurry.

He wants to do certain things himself because he is too afraid that they will
not be done as he wishes; then comes a time when he begins to doubt the success
of his project; he has not noticed that he has not trusted in his father; he has
not noticed that his own will took over.

His attitude caused doubt and fear to develop within him, and so he no longer
believes in the success of his project, for which he had requested his father's
advice in the first place.

My children, this is what you do when you ask me for something: you ask, but you
keep within yourselves the certainty that it will not be done as you wish, for
if you had been certain that if it would be done according to me: you would not
have left, with your will, to do your own will while thinking that your prayers
had not been answered.

You have not understood that it is you, my children, who have begun to lose
faith. This is why, my children, I am asking you to develop abandonment within
yourselves.

You must abandon yourselves in me, Jesus, in faith, you must know that only

God can do anything for you.

Learn to discover your weakness.

Because of your human will, you have developed all-consuming habits within
yourselves that have indicated to you that you must act.

Remember your saying: Help yourself and Heaven will help you. I, I say to you:
Abandon yourself and Heaven will help you!

God created Heaven and earth, he created you: he is the only one who can help
you throughout your life.

If you have not found happiness within yourselves, around you, you must begin to
abandon yourselves in me: by turning to me, Jesus of love, by giving me your
human will, by allowing yourselves to be transformed by my graces of love, which
I want to give you.

I am the only one who will turn you into children of love, children who trust in
me, Jesus.

Firstly, my children, faith comes from me and trust comes from me; you must ask
me for it the moment you receive me.

With faith, this will be done through my graces; you will see that, without your
noticing it, you will have more and more faith in me, Jesus: I want to develop
within you trust in me, in my Heavenly Father.

To live in me, Jesus, it is necessary to die in me, Jesus: this is where your
true place is.

This world, my children, is no longer love, it did not want my surges of love;
they want to live with their own human will, they no longer come to Mass, they
no longer come to Communion, to receive graces of love for their souls, and so
the children of this world are suffering.

They develop within themselves the habit of building their lives without me, and
so they hurt themselves; they no longer find love around them because they do
not have love inside them, for themselves: there is love there but they do not
know it.

If a child has no love inside himself, he cannot give love! And those who are
around him, they too, if they have no love inside themselves, they cannot give
love.

Love does not come from another, love lives in the self; love is nourished
within you by my graces of love.

It is necessary to help those children; I am not speaking to you to show you
their mistakes, I am speaking to you so you can love them, so you can develop
love within yourselves for them.

My children of love, are you certain that you have enough love for them? Do you,
my children, remain with me in a moment of intimacy when you receive me? Do you
talk to me about love? Do you thirst for me? Did you ask me for faith?

Oh! Children of love, I know each one of you, I know your hope for love; I know
that you suffer because you do not live in love with your brothers and your
sisters.

I want to begin with you, I want to turn you into children of love, I want you
to no longer doubt the power of my love for you and for those who are around
you, I want to teach you to abandon yourselves completely in me, by giving me
your worries, by giving me your illnesses, by giving me your children, by giving
me your husband, your wife, your family: I want everything about you.

There are many wounds inside you.

There are some who have known children who have taken drugs, there are children
who have changed religion.

You who have raised them in your religion, you suffer today to see that your
children have left my Church.

I am Jesus of Love, I have all children in me.

Abandon yourselves, be faithful that I can do anything.

Give me all those who have made you suffer, there are some who have suffered
verbal abuse.

Some know children who have experienced physical violence and this has wounded
your heart to the point of crying: give me everything!

Some are afraid for those who do not come to Mass for they fear they are lost:
give them to me! I want my children! My children, some of my little children are
educated without religion: they suffer! But I say to you that some of you have
children who no longer listen to what you have taught them and this makes you
suffer: give me everything! I want everything about you; all that makes you
suffer, I bore it before you, I took everything within myself: every wound on my
Body has born every impure movement.

It is sin that has made your children like this; it is sin that makes you
suffer; it is sin that has made you sick; look at me on the Cross, I bore all
this for it was sins that marked my Flesh.

Due to the consequence of Adam and Eve's sin, you were forced to live with good
and evil: you were not able to resist evil, nor were your children!

All they do is the consequence of sin.

Will I condemn one or the other because others before them have shown them
certain habits which led them to sin as well? I am asking you, my beloved, to
enter within yourselves and to give me your sufferings: what you cannot change.
I am the Saviour; I came among you to take all the sins of the world to bring
them unto death and through this gesture of love, I was showing you that you
must give yourselves to me, because I purified you and I purified all that was
making you suffer, and I purified all the sins of those you know and of those
you do not know.

This is why when I want you to give me everything, I say to you: Give me your
life, give me the lives of my children.

You know that I love you, that I want you as you are along with your human
weaknesses; I also want the others who are in you, along with their human
weaknesses, because do you know why? Because I have already purified all you
have done and all they have done with my Precious Blood.

I want your yes, I want you to place your yes in my yes.

I am the beloved Son of the Father, I have refused nothing to my Father.

I gave my yes unconditionally despite the fact that I knew all I was about to
endure: I knew everything you were going to do, I knew about all your
rejections.

My beloved, when you come to Communion and you go home without a single I love
you, without a single loving action for me, I, I have seen everything and I have
continued to shed my Blood because I was aware of the movement of love: I was
the movement of love, I am The Love.

This moment is a moment of love for you and for me: ?Let yourself be taken by
me, your God of love; I want you to abandon yourself now with your yes, your yes
of a child.

I want you as a baby, I want to spoon-feed you because you know, if I were to
give to you as quickly as you would like, it would not be possible as you would
lack the strength to see all the wonders that I want for you; I do not want to
crush you with my love, I want to watch over you.

Every day, I will ask for your yes and every day I will give you graces of love,
and you will change and you will become a child of love as I, I wish, as my
Father has always wished for you.

Abandon yourself in faith, and when you shall be completely love: love will
emerge from you effortlessly.

You will be at peace, joyful and those who will come close to you will feel the
love emerging from you and through your example, they too will want to savour
what you have become: this is what you will do for your children, for your
husband, for your wife, for your brothers and your sisters; and I want more than
this: those you carry within you will benefit from all I give you.?

My children of love, I want to transform this world.

I want to turn you into children of love on your behalf, on behalf of those you
love, those you do not know: only love shall conquer evil.

A world of love is on its way; you are called to live in this world of love that
is coming; my Father's Kingdom is coming, my children of love; you shall do his
Will on earth as in Heaven, for all is being accomplished.

You are living in this time of love, you are hearing The Love who speaks to you
inside yourselves; each one of you, at this very moment, hears what I say within
you through this child.

She gave up her human will completely to live in my Divine Will; nothing came
from her, only her yes was uttered through her will; we, the Divine Will, were
aware of her yes.

We are the Alpha and the Omega, we are the Present; this is why we were aware of
her loving yes; we nourished her so as to enable her to do our Will, we chose
her for you because we wanted to speak to you in your hearts: such is our
action!

Be aware that at this very moment the Trinity is speaking to you, God is the
Almighty, God is the Power: you live in this power; become aware of what you
are: you have the Trinity inside you; we are The Love and you must be love.

We know better than you what is good; since your birth, we have been nourishing
you with our surges of love.

All you have done that was good came from us; not for a single moment did we not
pour love into you; this is why, children of God, we are asking you to come to
Communion by abandoning yourselves to our love; it is through us, with us and in
you that we will transform you.

We want your yes in complete abandonment like this child, and we,

we will do everything for you.

Let yourselves be enveloped in our love; you too will be take part in our
action.

When you come to know this moment of love, it will be because you will have
uttered your yes with abandonment, without fear.

If your yes is tiny, we will nourish it; it will take root, it will sprout, it
will become a branch upon which fruit will grow, and I shall graft that branch
to the Tree of Life, for I am the Tree of Life.

I want to nourish you with my Life so you can be children of God, my Father's
children; you were chosen to bring to this world proof that you are God's
children and that they are God's children.

Through your behaviour, through your loving words, through your gift of your
desire to give them love, they will see God's presence, for they will have found
nothing similar in what they have done and in what they have sought out, for you
shall represent happiness.

Children of love, I have spoken within you, in your hearts, so that you can be
witnesses of my action.

Your yes, I will nourish it with my graces of love.

It is in my Being that you will allow yourselves to be transformed for I am
Jesus Eucharist, I am the Presence, the Life; always remain in God's love with
your yes.

I am giving to you, at this very moment, movements of love that let you know
that you belong only to me: you are my Church; I, I am the Head, my consecrated
sons are my active members, you are my members, and I want to nourish all my
members; I want to make of all children of earth one and only Church: the Church
of The Love, the one I founded on earth with my apostles.

I shall return to my Father what he gave to me: you, his children; I love you,
give me your yes.

Through the presence of my priests, receive graces of love from Triune God.

Amen.

The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: God says that I must accomplish
God's Will; he knows that we're weak so he covers us with his Spirit of love so
we can really understand the testimony of his instrument of love; he says: Tell
them that I am the one who wants you to say this.

When we learn to abandon ourselves, God takes everything about us, he does
everything; believe me, he does everything.

Since 2001, I don't need a clock, he tells me when to go to bed too; he shows me
lots of things regarding my health; he told me that when I eat too much
chocolate, it's not good for me.

This afternoon, we were in the car and I was in the back and I was happy; I
said, Ah! I won't put on my seatbelt; but, he said, My daughter, be obedient and
put on your seatbelt.

Jesus is a God who takes care of us, who teaches us to love ourselves.

He's full of tenderness, he teaches us to be good friends too; because me,
before, I was a shy person, I didn't know how to talk to people, not at all.

I had one friend (from childhood) in my life and she was just like me; if she
had been different, I would have been all alone.

And when I met my husband, he had friends; he didn't leave them because of me,
but let's just say that I was happy to be alone with him because I wasn't
comfortable in a group.

And well, today, I'm with friends I don't even know and I have the impression
that I've always known them: it's like a big family that I see everywhere.

It's Jesus who develops this love inside us: this love for our neighbour, this
love for us.

He began with me mostly because I was a person who it wasn't a negative sort of
shyness but I was solitary: I liked being alone a little too much.

And also, he taught me to behave properly as a mother; I can't say as a single
girl because it wasn't that long ago that he began changing me, but as a mother,
he completely transformed me.

And also, he changed me as a wife because before my husband's death, I truly
experienced moments of tenderness and love; it was a different love than the one
I had known, and it was inside me that all this was happening: I was the one he
was changing.

It wasn't my children, it was me; it wasn't my friends, it was me; it wasn't my
husband, it was me: it was me that he was changing.

So, it's the complete opposite of what I had been thinking and seeing around me
since I was a child.

Yes, we were taught, since we were children, to be like this or like that, and
when we were older, at school, they also taught us: to change us according to
what they wanted.

And so, it was the same thing when I started working outside the home, well, I
was taught how to work: how to behave with the clients.

So me, I did the same thing; I have always wanted to raise my children the way
I, I wanted to.

I did the same thing to my husband, eh? I wanted him to be a husband according
to what I, I wanted.

But it was the same thing with my neighbour; I would see my neighbour, and I
wanted him to be like me; if he wasn?t like I wanted him to be, well then! I was
lost; I would say, Ah! My God, something's not wrong. It was the others who were
wrong, it wasn't me.

We were always taught to want to change others for our sake.

So when I would go to Confession, imagine that my sins were always according to
what I knew.

So, sometimes, I had a tendency to judge myself very severely as well: I would
blame myself; it was what I believed!

When Jesus began talking inside me, he began talking to me about love, he began
talking to me about himself; oh, they were really teachings about love! I had a
lesson for all my brothers and sisters every day; imagine that I write quite
badly; even so, he would say, Don't worry about your spelling.

I would write one page, two pages, three pages, it could take up to twenty,
twenty-five minutes, thirty minutes per message; so, we had the whole day for
us, to ourselves.

Nicole: The messages

The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: Ah! The lessons! And so, he
would talk to me all the time, he would talk to me about love; it was with his
graces that he would talk to me since on my own I wasn't able to because it was
really too important; so he would talk to me gently, with simple words so I
could understand; sometimes, he would show me images inside myself, that's when
he made me go forward.

He began talking to me about his Father; ah! now that was wonderful because he
would say that he was in the Father and the Father was in him.

He would talk to me about the love his Father had for me and for all children,
because when he would talk to me about love, it wasn't only about love for me,
but about love for others, but always with the aim of making himself known to
me.

Nicole: What was the last part you just said?

The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: He was describing the love he
has for me and for others, but it was always with the aim of making himself
known to me: of making me discover his love. So, it's the same thing with God
the Father he would give me lessons on love, and I also received some from the
Holy Spirit.

You know, our loving Mother is so humble that I only began receiving some
(visions) in May, at the end of May, beginning of June, when I went to
Medjugorje.

Our loving Mother is the most humble person on earth.

It was with words of gentleness that she allowed herself to be discovered, and
it was her Son who introduced me to his Mother.

And with this, the Trinity, I began to understand what it was? what they wanted
me to understand about the Trinity; now, this, this is different because with my
human will, they knew what I was supposed to learn and not more.

And the writings were becoming more and more intensive: lots and lots of
writing; I began to understand what I was writing; in the month of August, he
began to talk about our neighbour it was always in relation to me, but then he
began talking about our neighbour and, he would talk to me about all the
children of the world: about the love he had for them and the love I also had to
have for them.

So, since 2001, I was receiving graces of love, and this was transforming me
always in relation to my brothers and my sisters; my yes was becoming deeper and
deeper within me, I would say.

At first, when I gave my life, when I gave my yes, I gave it out of love for
Jesus, out of love for my brothers and my sisters; but, you know, deep down I
didn't know what it really meant, and today, I'm still discovering more things:
there are still more changes taking place.

When I began, in the month of July, correcting all the writings, then, Jesus, he
would say, Go to a such and such a spot this was during the first writings so,
I would go to that spot, it was right in the middle of a sentence, and then, all
of a sudden, the writing would start again: he would add a page, two pages and
the last word would be in the middle of the sentence.

When this would happen, I would be there in front of the screen and I would be
stunned; then, sometimes, there were tears, I would cry when I would see this I
know that Jesus is the Intelligence, I know that he is Perfection, but there, I
would see it in front of my eyes, there was so much repetition; sometimes, there
could be one repetition, two repetitions in a single message: it was like this
in almost all the messages.

I asked Jesus: But why, Jesus, didn't you give me this right away at the
beginning? He would say that I was too little, that I had to attend the school
of love; and, he would also say: You have to suffer as I have suffered! You must
follow me, and from the first to the last, it will be like this.

Once, I was doing corrections, and oh boy, he was adding so much, Jesus of love
come on, you're the one who's making me say this, Jesus and, he was adding on,
and adding on, and adding on and, then, I skipped one. I knew that he wanted me
to stop there, but I was tired; so, I just kept on going, and going pretending
not to notice; he said to me, My daughter, go back! You know where, go back to
the right spot. So, I said, Yes, Lord.

At times, things have happened to me that have shown me God's action.

I was in the process of I'm going to give you just one example: I was doing
because when I talk about corrections, I'm not the one who does the corrections.
I don't know what to call this, but when, in Jesus, I look at a place (in a
text) he, he talks to me: Take that word, put it in that sentence there. Well,
me, I call this correcting because we're working backwards. So, I was working on
a text that was about stubbornness a person who argues, people who don't always
agree with us so, the Lord, he began talking about Don Quixote; yes, he used to
say: You are like windmills, you are fighting the wind. He is saying: You do not
know where the wind is coming from, and it hits you in the back.

He was about to continue the writing when all of a sudden, I couldn't understand
anymore because usually, when I'm correcting, something happens: at every
sentence, I know what it means, I understand, I can see the light through it;
even with one word, I can look at it and I can explain; I don't know how this
happens but this is how it is but now, I couldn't understand, I was completely
blocked: 'Jesus, something's not working, I can't understand what you want to
say. I had been stuck on the same word for five, ten minutes, I couldn't
understand.

During those moments, he makes me live things inside myself, like a kind of
suffering; then, the telephone rings, I answer and it was the person who
organizes the gatherings.

She says this to me: The meeting at Lake of St. John, it's not working out.
Then, she says, Me, I told them something like: She can't possibly give a
message individually to one hundred and fifty people in one hour, and so, she
told me to cancel everything.

She was telling me this about the other person and so I said, Don't worry,
everything will work out. I was repeating everything the Lord was telling me,
but I didn't know how he was going to go about it!

So, I said, Give me the telephone number of the person and I will call her. So
when I picked up the phone and reached the person in question, she told me that
the other person had misunderstood, that she had given me the wrong information,
while she, she had given a different message; she said, I had had a nice day,
and then, voila, bang, here she comes and says those things to me; that's it,
she ruined my day! And so, what they were living, I was in the process of
writing it: this happened several times.

After that telephone call, I understood everything the Lord wanted to explain to
me and I can, in the Holy Spirit, bear witness that this happened several times
with different messages.

Once, there was a young girl, a wife, who was the victim of verbal violence from
her husband, and the same thing happened.

It's not because Jesus provokes events, of course not; it's because he took that
moment, the Lord, he knows everything, and so, when the phone rang right in the
middle of a sentence, it was exactly what she was living: he had to know this,
and he combined the two moments.

With the writings, I began to understand my brothers and my sisters, not to
judge them but to understand love: how much Jesus loves them! Because if you
only knew how he, he manages to arrange all this, it's incredible!

He makes us see how human they are, how far they have let themselves go because
of their human will; he shows them how they are; through examples, he really
shows what they're living and he, he says why they're living this and how he can
help them; you know, it's through his love, it's God's love that is going to
change us.

He's a free God, Jesus; he says that this is for each one of us and he also
wants to help us regarding our brothers and our sisters, because he says that if
we know ourselves, us, and if we know our neighbour, we're going to learn to
better love ourselves because we're made of love, and we're made to give.

We have to begin to know Jesus, to know the Father,

to know the Holy Spirit and to know his Mother.

And then, he teaches us to know ourselves, to love ourselves, to trust in their
love, to abandon ourselves in them, because due to our human will we have hurt
ourselves, and with this, we have lacked trust, even in God: over time, we have
learned to manage on our own with what we know, with what we are.

But by discovering God's love, well, us, we have faith, we can abandon
ourselves: we abandon ourselves more easily; so, if we, we learn to become love,
well then, it's to love others: love is meant to be given.

Jesus is love; he is a Movement of giving, Jesus: Jesus is in the Father, the
Father is in the Son, the Son and the Father are in the Holy Spirit; do you see
which movement this is? Then, we, by giving ourselves in Jesus, we enter into
this movement: in me, in you, in them and in you.

So, this is how we will, with what we are, with the love that we are, help our
brothers and our sisters to become love as well, but we're not the ones who are
going to do this that's the best part of this.

You know, this morning I received a beautiful message in English; he said to me,
Repeat, so, I repeated, but when I went upstairs, I had already forgotten it, I
was really stuck! He said this was the message, it was for her he said, You,
you talk again, and, imagine, I didn't know what it meant and after, he said,
For me. He said this to Nicole.

Jesus wants to transform us into beings of love for our brothers and our
sisters.

He wants to turn us into instruments of love, he doesn't want us to do this, he
wants us to enter into him.

Jesus is in the Father, Jesus is the Word, he is the accomplishment of his
Father's Will; us, we must enter into Jesus: we must enter into the Word; so, we
are not the action, we are not the Will, that's Jesus.

If Jesus received everything from his Father, we who are going to enter into
Jesus, we?re going to receive everything from Jesus, who received everything
from the Father.

He said this morning that Nicole and I, we're going to be the repetition of the
voice of The Love: what God is reserving, he says it in the moment of his
choosing.

This is what he's going to do with us, he's going to take us with what we are,
and he's going to develop us according to our rhythm, not according to what we,
we want.

Yes, he said once in his writing: I will not transform you at the speed of your
jet planes. He says that he knows our weakness, he knows all that we have lived
and that we, we do not know.

You know, it's very reassuring to leave everything in Jesus: to do nothing.

You know, when you leave your home and you arrive in a province where you don't
speak the language, and there are about a hundred people, and nothing has been
prepared, absolutely nothing has been prepared he doesn't even tell me a few
moments beforehand what we're going to talk about, not at all, because he says:
It's not your gathering, it's my gathering.

Even (when I am) in the action, when I come to sit here to bear witness, I don't
know what I'm going to say at all.

Once, he gave me the reason for this: he said that every gathering of love takes
places in the heart of every person who is present here; he says that all the
words that were uttered because he told me this afterwards they depend on
every one of you, on what you have already lived, on what you are living now.

He could, through his power, tell me in advance what is going to happen, what
the message is going to be; he says he doesn't want to do this because he says:
You too, you will learn to discover yourself in harmony with your sisters and
your brothers. He says that this is in respect of freedom; Jesus, he says, If I
were to tell you what is in the hearts of my children, without their being aware
of it it would be as if he were violating your interior.

Jesus is a God of love, he's a God who is free, he wants us to be free.

Even in his teachings, God teaches us how to behave by giving us a loving
example.

You know, I didn't know this, I just learned it at the same time as you and he
often does this.

When I was sitting there before, I was saying: Ah! Lord, you won't leave me like
this, eh? You won't leave me here without coming to talk to me? What am I going
to look like up there if you don't come and talk to me? So, he said, Have faith,
I'm here. Have no fear.

But, one day, this is what he said to me: Would you be prepared to be mocked on
my behalf? So, I said, Yes, and I don't know what's going to happen that day.

Dear Jesus of love, he spoils us with graces, you know, while he's telling us at
the same time about what's going to happen, because you're going to live moments
of love, of transformation, because he's preparing us for something huge.

He wants to turn us into children of the Divine Will.

He wants us to become like Adam and Eve once were before the sin, and only the
Son of God is going to be able to do this.

He's going to envelop us in his love, he's going to envelop all our yeses and
then, with his yes, he's going to envelop the offence that Adam and Eve did to
his Father; since Jesus is the only one who was able to give his yes in order to
save us, he is the YES, the yes that will envelop the no, and then, God the
Father will be joyful.

Do you know that God the Father created the seventh day as a day of rest? The
seventh day, we're supposed to reserve it for him; we're supposed to show him
our love; we're supposed to tell him how much we love him; the seventh day, this
is his day, it's his day with his children: we call this our day of rest.

When God the Father will receive his Son's yes, which will envelop the no, God
the Father will rest.

When Jesus spoke to me like this, I realized that it?s impossible to grasp all
of God's love for us; do you know what it means to wait after your children? You
have a child, we have known children, we have children of our own, eh? Imagine
that a child doesn't do as he wishes and yet he doesn't scold him.

We wait, and we wait, and we wait for him to come home; remember the prodigal
son that's each and every one of us; well, our Heavenly Father is waiting after
us.

He's waiting for our yes to The Love in his Son.

God the Father, he gave us the most beautiful proof of his love: his Son, the
Being of his Being. Us, we have to give our yes in Jesus in order to give the
Father what he's expecting from us, in order to give God the Father all he is
due to receive: all he has given us, well, we must give it to him by going
through the Son.

When we say yes, we are agreeing to give our life; it's not just a little yes,
eh? I have just realized this it is a yes but it's quite a yes because this yes
comes from the Father; since we come from him, it belongs to him but because of
our human will, we can't give our yes directly to God the Father.

We have to go through the yes of Jesus, we have to enter into the yes of Jesus.

There is only one yes on earth: that's the yes of Jesus; there was one other yes
it was Mary's Fiat and her yes brought the Yes to earth.

Mother Mary's yes is a pure yes: it was a yes that had never known any
imperfection, it was perfect: her yes.

It was necessary for a yes from earth to draw a yes from Heaven, and so Mother
Mary's yes entered into the yes of Jesus.

It was the first yes that entered into Jesus.

You know, for many years, Mother Mary lived in Jesus with her yes, before Jesus
came to teach us to say our yes. For thirty years Jesus lived with his Mother in
the perfection of that yes.

Such was the Will of his Father to give to Mary's yes all the gratitude she was
meant to receive, because Mary was purity, the only one who did not have sin
within her.

And Mother Mary always kept her yes and her purity of heart, of soul and of
body, for Mother Mary became merged with her yes; she allowed herself to be
enveloped by her Son's yes.

She had no other life than for her Son, who was making her discover the Father's
love:

she, the Pure, who had always given her yes to the Father.

You know, when you know the yes, you don't have to look for love elsewhere other
than in Jesus; it nourishes you.

Me, I gave my yes to Jesus of love, I'm not pure; Jesus had pity on me, he
transformed me through his graces of love.

My husband died on March 4; the love I have for my husband is a combination of
God's love and human love.

God the Father chose my husband and he also chose me for him; we lived together
in love, we experienced difficulties together and we learned to weather the
storms: we always trusted in Jesus of love.

I believe that without God's love: you can't live as a couple; if a couple isn't
Catholic and they live together, that's because they have God's love inside
them, because we're God's children.

So, when my husband died, I felt a great emptiness inside myself because I
missed him; I missed his body, I missed his words, I missed his human words, I
missed his affection, I missed his company, but Jesus of love was enveloping me
in his graces of love and this comforted me, this gave me peace, and his love
for me was so strong that I fell deeply in love with Jesus: this fills the void
I felt because of my husband's absence.

Today, I asked Mother Mary: Mother Mary, I would like to have the grace of
always being my husband's (only) wife, and I'm certain this will always be so,
do you know why?

Because now, they are all brothers and sisters.

Mother Mary, she had God's love that nourished her constantly because she had
received in her womb: The Love.

You, can you imagine that a woman has God inside of her? Can you imagine The
Love that was nourishing her? She was carrying all of you, you were all God's
children; she was carrying all the children of God the Father within herself,
she was becoming the Mother of all the children of earth.

Through this movement of love, Mother of Love was becoming the worthy Mother of
all the children of earth since Adam and Eve up to the last one to be created.

And so, if I, I don?t love my brothers, then she couldn't have loved her
children either as: men and women. If to me, through God's love, he gave me the
grace to see all male children as my brothers, females as my sisters, how could
Mother Mary, who bore the divine Love, God of Love, who became the Mother of all
the children of earth, not see God's children as her children; so, this answers
certain questions, eh?

Mother is Purity. Mother of love, she has always been purity. Mother of love
will always be purity: in body, soul and spirit.

Mother is the Immaculate One!

I give thanks tonight to God for having revealed to us the splendour of Mary's
purity with such simplicity.

It?s so wonderful to hear Jesus talk and to be covered by the Holy Spirit to
discover these words of love at the same time as you: this is a movement of love
created by the Trinity.

You know, what has just been said tonight, they?re words that came to me through
the Holy Spirit, and what comforts me is that I carry my brothers, that we carry
all our brothers and our sisters of the entire world; what he showed us tonight,
I wish all children had heard this.

Well, now, it's not children, eh, Lord, that you just said to me It's my
brothers and my sisters.

I have a tendency to say my children because God, he goes through me, and
sometimes, I don't really know if it's me in the Holy Spirit or if it's he's the
one who's talking.

He's saying: This is to make you understand that what you say can only come from
The Love: I am The Love, and The Love and the Holy Spirit merge into one! (Here,
the interpreter, Nicole, asks her to repeat.) Me, I can't, Jesus repeats; he
says, I am The Love, The Love is in you and because I am in you and you, you are
in me, you are the movement of love in my movement within me, and love is love
to such an extent that they become one.

You see, this is my life!

The two chosen ones of the Lord each receive a gift from the people of Western
Canada:

When I came here to Manitoba and to Saskatchewan, God told me nothing, he did
not warn me of what I was going to receive either; and I discovered a big
family.

You know, Canada has no borders: Canada is one and only one country.

We have separated our country.

Jesus, he said, In the New Earth, there will be no borders.

We will all be united in God's love.

We have developed a sense of pride: in my country, in my province, in my
continent; we have created a sense of ownership but Jesus, what he wants: is us
with our yes.

We're going to give it to him, and there will no more of this.

So, when we will go to the New Earth, from one end to the other, we're going to
feel at home everywhere.

Well, he started with me because I feel at home here.

Message From the Father Thru Lec- March 18, 2008

Note: Sounds like a personal message for me but let me share just the same.
There is an explanation for the scripture verse, Many are called but few are
chosen - Lec

MESSAGE FROM THE FATHER March 18, 2008
6:45 AM

Son, I am fully aware of what is going on inside you but let me tell you that
all these aches, pains, illnesses, weakness, suffering, feeling of helplessness
are mere signs for a wake up call into your spirit. Only in this kind of
situation will you attain further gains in ascension in the spirit realm a
point in your transformation process where being dead to self is the basic
necessity for my spirit to attain a greater foothold in your being for in your
weakness, I am strong. When you are emptied of your old inclinations and
passions will your transformation in the spirit become an accomplished fact.
There is no other way but the way of the cross of my Son Jesus.

Just as Jesus suffered, so must suffer too those who follow in His footsteps.
This is the narrow way, the unpopular path taken and embraced by the saints but
ask me now how they are doing right now in my Kingdom of peace, happiness and
everlasting glory and I will tell you that the short time on earth that they
endured drinking on the cup of suffering of my Son Jesus now they recall as
their sure and unmistakable means of passage to their glorious eternity.

Not everyone on earth would like the suffering of the Saints, only a few
enlightened ones. NOW, DO YOU STILL WONDER WHY SO MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE
CHOSEN? WILL THE GREATER NUMBER ACCEPT SUFFERING AS THE CHOSEN
ANSWER IS OBVIOUS, SON!

MESSAGE via L., V+J
March14, 2008- - -11:20 A.M.

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with
Your Most Precious Blood." (and various other prayers of testing)

Then Father God spoke, "My daughter, tell all My people everywhere to be alert
and obey My every word. Nothing, NO NOTHING, is free from chemicals, toxins,
germs, poisons!

Food, water, drugs, anything fresh or canned or processed, clothing,
toiletries, furniture, etc- -everything IS CONTAMINATED! These elements enter
through your pores, nose, mouth. They are carried inside on your clothing,
especially on your shoes.

Dieases will run rampant and quickly worsen. Most everything is imported
and passes through customs. No age or gender is exempt: no animals, either.

Fresh foods are imported and /or packaged in a foreign land. Frozen and
canned meats, fish, fruit, vegetables, baby food, pet foods- - -all are tainted!

You people say that you are too busy to read ALL labels therefore you are
too busy to take care of your bodies which are TEMPLES OF GOD! Train yourself
to obey My words. Only this can and will save your life and the lives of all
creatures, all people.

Each second, each minute, each hour of the year you are being exposed to
deadly elements. Through Me, protect your life, all life, your planet.

Your government and all its branches MUST join together to make your country
and all its people safe!

If you do not heed ALL My words YOU WILL PERISH! Amen, I, your God have
spoken! Amen, all is true and all is quickly coming to fruition!"

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 18 - Be thankful in front of the cross

"Among the graces which Jesus gave to His foster-father—and He flooded him with the graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament. That is the one we must ask of St. Joseph.
Have confidence, strong confidence in him. Take him as the patron and the model of your life of adoration" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

"Christian piety has rejoiced to learn from the Book of Acts that Mary was present at the first gatherings of the faithful, when they broke bread together as brothers and spent long hours in prayer. And modern art has often portrayed the heavenly Mother in the act of receiving from the hand of St. John, the beloved disciple, the Communion of the Body and Blood of her Son . . . . When we say that in the Eucharist we have the Son and in Mary we have his Mother, have we not said all?" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).

The Cross is the food of Hope.

Mother Teresa -

Am I convinced of Christ's love for me and mine for Him? This conviction is like sunlight which makes the sap of life rise and the buds of sanctity bloom. This conviction is the rock on which sanctity is built.
What must we do to get this conviction?
We must know Jesus, love Jesus, serve Jesus.
I must not attempt to control God's actions; I must not count the stages in the journey He would have me make. I ask Him to make a saint of me, yet I must leave to Him the choice of that saintliness itself and still more the choice of the means which lead to it.

Everything of you should be sweetness and peace

Meditations by Padre Pio -

If you suffer with resignation in doing His will, you do not offend Him but love Him. And your heart will find great comfort in remembering that in your hour of pain Jesus Himself suffers in you and for you. He did not abandon you when you fled from Him; why should He abandon you now that you are proving your love for Him by the martyrdom of your soul? (GF, 174).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

America is spoiled because she expects too much!

"The discontent is far greater among the over-privileged than the underprivileged. The rich need the psychoanalysts more than the poor. Few European minds cracked under two wars. Many American minds have. The first learned not to expect anything. This lesson America has yet to learn."

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

Second Day

Today bring to me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind. (1212)

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that we may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

The fountain of God's love
Dwells in pure hearts,
Bathed in the Sea of Mercy
Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company [of chosen ones] in Your vineyard-upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen. (1213)

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 18 - BE THANKFUL IN FRONT OF THE CROSS

Our Lady reminds us of her message of March 13^th, and speaks of gratitude:

"Dear Children, remember the four things you have to do during Lent. Tonight when you go home, I ask you to be thankful in front of the cross for all that you fell you should be grateful for; thank Jesus for what you have. My Son will hear you (Visionary Prayer Group February 13, 1989).

Second Corinthians also speaks of gratitude:

Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God (2 Cor 4:15)

Reflection:

The Virgin speaks many times of gratitude in her messages, for it is a form of love of God. Poets and writers have searched for words beautiful enough to express their thanks for such great gifts, but none have succeeded so well as St. Francis of Assisi. May his Canticle of the Sun be our own hymn of thanksgiving today:

O most high, almighty Lord God, To You belong praise, glory, honor and all Blessings. Praise to my Lord God with all his creatures, And especially our brother the sun, who brings Us the day and who brings us the light; Fair is he who shines with such great splendor;

O Lord, he signifies You to us! Praise to my Lord for our sister the moon and For the stars. Which he has set clear and lovely in heaven. Praise to my Lord for all those who pardon One another for his love' s sake, And who endure weakness and tribulation; Blessed are they who peaceably shall endure; For You, O God, shall give them a crown! Praise to my Lord for our sister, the death Of the body from which no man escapes. Woe to him who dies in mortal sin! Blessed are they who are found walking in Your most holy will, For the second death shall have no power To do them harm. Praise and bless the Lord and give him thanks, And serve him with great humility.

Application:

Offer one decade of your rosary today simply in thanksgiving to God For all his gifts. In addition, review Our Lady's message of March 13^th, as she has requested today.
