Propechy Meditations
Topic: Prophecy Meditation


Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 19, 2008
 
Come home with Me
 
Reading: Isaiah 52:13  53:12
 
Dear friends,
 
The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Luke 9:22
 
As usual I was in contemplative prayer early this morning. Jesus, our Suffering Saviour, said, Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you and I died for you and for all My brothers and sisters throughout the world.

I accepted to suffer and die at the hands of the Roman soldiers, having been condemned by the Jewish authorities of My day to die on the cross. My people had turned against Me as they could not accept that I was the Messiah, the Son of God. In their rejection of their Saviour, I was able to redeem them and all the people of the world from all their sins.
 
Today many people think that there is no such thing as sin. They do not see the offenses they commit against their Creator who provides for all their needs. They have rejected the commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai by the Father of all of you.

 

If you are His son or daughter, you will follow these commandments and you will live in peace with Him. I came to convict the world of sin and to repair the breach between the Father and you. Open your eyes and see the malice of sin and how horrible sin is. It almost destroyed the world at the beginning and it is bringing this world to ruin if you do not repent and return to your Father.
 
I showed you how terrible sin is by My great suffering and death on the cross. Sin is like a murderer stabbing God who loves him. By sin you reject and insult your Father who gave you life and who created the whole world for you. Even in your sin, the Father pursues you and gives you the grace you need to repent and come back to Him.

 

Never reject this gift offered to you out of love but respond quickly and repent and He will take all your sins away and reinstate you as His beloved son or daughter. Give joy to your Father today by being sorry for your sins and telling Him that you love Him. My Passion continues every day for your salvation. Come home with Me for I love you.
 
Father Melvin

I see a great Flame that I understand represents the Heart of God the Father. I hear a voice say: I am the Eternal Now Creator of Heaven and earth.
 
I have come to remonstrate mankind, for I tell you, never before has the heart of mankind been led so far astray. Hypocrisy is the norm in church and world leaders. Whole religions have embraced debauchery, violence and hatred. The fruit these bear is eternal perdition.
 
Yet, I have sent My Son into the world to give you life-yielding Messages of truth here on this Site. You now know the direct path to My Paternal Heart, to the Light of the Spirit, the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary.

 

All of these come gift wrapped to you in My Divine Will. Herein is the path of salvation, holiness, sanctification and world peace. Are you listening?
 
Do not wait for compromised hearts to tell you it is okay to believe. Open your hearts. Listen to these Messages with your own hearts. Do not fear anyone's disapproval. Fear your own disbelief, which ultimately reverses your journey in holiness.
 
Give Me your heart first. Then I will help you to bring Me many more hearts.
 
I, your Father, love you.

Message From the Father Thru Lec- March 20, 2008

Message From the Father March 20, 2008
6:20 AM

Son, the passion, death and resurrection of my Son Jesus is the centerpiece of our memorial celebration on these days. I sent Him to redeem mankind from heir sins and the enslavement of their bodies to the sinful nature brought bout by the fall of man due to disobedience. With his death, those who follow im must also die to themselves, to their sinful tendency and this can only be ossible thru the dispensation of my graces acquired and bestowed on people who cknowledge my Son's one time, great sacrifice.

 

Acknowledgement means epentance of sin and making a vow not to commit the same sins anymore, therwise, repentance is not complete. Only thru this means can people walk the ath that leads straight to my Kingdom.


Daily renewal of the spirit thru a disciplined examination of conscience is a
must for everyone who desires to meet me in the tabernacle within their hearts.


I knock at people's hearts and if they open the door to let me in, I will come
and take my dwelling there to be their constant companion for the rest of their
lives until such time that they will see with their eyes whom they have harbored
in their inner being.

Go in peace!

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 22 - I have been appealing for renewal

 
"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).    


"Our Eucharistic faith tells us that Christ the King is himself here present, the tabernacle serving equivalently as his throne of grace.  In this context, then, we may aptly apply the inspired and inspiring words: 'Let us come boldly before the throne of grace, to meet with mercy and win that grace which will help us in our needs'" (Heb. 4:16).  (Fr. Richard  Foley, S.J.)
Pope John Paul II -

"Without question these apparitions [in Medjugorje] are entirely true."

Mother Teresa -

Our ideal is no one but Jesus.
We must think as He thinks,
love as He loves,
wish as He wishes;
we must permit Him to use us to the full.
 
Meditations by Padre Pio -
True servants of God have always preferred adversity as being more in conformity with the way taken by our Head, Who worked out our salvation by means of the cross and humiliations (Epist. IV, p. 148).
 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The empty soul feeds Satan's needs

"Whence came the millions to accept the superstition of Nazism, Fascism, and Communism if it were not from an emptiness of soul brought about by a loss of faith? The essence of political superstition is the identification of the laboring class and Messianism."

Sixth Day

Today bring to me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.      (1220)

Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.       (1221)

      A truly gentle and humble soul
      Already here on earth the air of paradise breathes,
      And in the fragrance of her humble heart
      The Creator Himself delights.       (1222)

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon the souls of little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.       (1223)

Mar 22  -  I HAVE BEEN APPEALING FOR RENEWAL

The Madonna is firm in her call to Lenten renewal and prayer :

" Dear Children, day after day I have been appealing to you for renewal and prayer in the parish, but you are not responding. Today I am calling you for the last time. This is the season of Lent, and you as a parish should out of love, be moved to live my messages. If you do not, I do not wish to continue giving them. God is permitting me that. Thank you for responding to my call." Weekly Message Feb. 21, 1985

Psalm 38 is a repentant call to God :

For I am ready to fall, And my pain is ever with me. I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.

Those who are my foes without cause are mighty. And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

Those who render me evil for good Are my adversaries because I follow after good. Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me; Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. ---Psalm 38 ;17-22

Reflection :

Both Our Lady and the psalmist today call us to repentance, to acknowledge our sin, neglect, or indifference in the sight of God.

Because we have a tendency to sin or to be spiritually lethargic, repentance is the true measure of spiritual sensitivity. It means asking the Lord to forgive us and then abandoning our sinful or lethargic ways. But we cannot do this sincerely unless we are truly sorry for our misdeeds and then commit ourselves to positive action.

This is the Virgin's wish today, that we take to heart her call to renewal and prayer. It is a serious matter for all of us.

Application :

Review your spiritual life today. Has Lent been a time of prayer and renewal for you? If not, make a fresh start today.

5th Marian Dogma Nothing New

5th Marian Dogma Nothing New

Interview With Puerto Rico's Cardinal Aponte

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, MARCH 18, 2008 (Zenit.org).- By declaring Mary the
Spiritual Mother of All Humanity, Benedict XVI wouldn't be saying anything new
about her, only clarifying her role in salvation, says Cardinal Luis Aponte
Mart�nez.

The retired archbishop of San Juan is one of the five cardinal co-sponsors of
the 2005 International Symposium on Marian Co-redemption, held in Fatima, that
are asking Benedict XVI to declare a fifth Marian dogma.

The petition urges the Pope to proclaim Mary "the Spiritual Mother of All
Humanity, the co-redemptrix with Jesus the redeemer, mediatrix of all graces
with Jesus the one mediator, and advocate with Jesus Christ on behalf of the
human race."

In this interview with ZENIT, Cardinal Aponte discusses his views in favor of
the proposed dogma.

Q: Your Eminence, what has led you to take a leadership role in the present
petition to Benedict XVI for this new Marian dogma?

Cardinal Aponte: Our Lady has always been a source of particular strength and
the object of particular love for me. These roles of the Blessed Virgin as our
spiritual mother have always been part of our Catholic tradition. For Latin
American Catholics, it is all contained in her manifestation as Our Lady of
Guadalupe who shows herself as a merciful mother, ready to intercede for us in
our gravest needs, and to use her maternal intercession to bring us closer to
Jesus.

I first spoke of the importance of this dogma to my brother cardinals in the
presence of Pope John Paul II in Rome in 2002. There I related this Marian
proclamation to the Church?s new evangelization. As the first great
evangelization of Latin America was led by Our Lady of Guadalupe, so should the
Mother of Christ be invoked to lead this new evangelization of the third
millennium.

The solemn definition of her motherly roles as co-redemptrix, mediatrix, and
advocate will simply release Our Lady all the more to perform these motherly
functions of intercession for our age for the maximum effectiveness in leading a
new evangelization.

There are new times for the world and the Church. Just imagine how much Our Lady
can help us in the new evangelization and with other elements of difficulty and
crisis in our present age if we solemnly acknowledge her in these God-given
roles of intercession for humanity.

Q: How would you respond to the objection that the Church doesn?t need a new
teaching on Mary at this time?

Cardinal Aponte: There is nothing new in this teaching. It is actually very
ancient. It is important to keep in mind that this truth is already an official
doctrine of the Church regarding Mary as taught at the Second Vatican Council --
"Lumen Gentium," Nos. 57, 58, 61, 62 -- and has been the consistent teaching of
the papal magisterium for centuries.

John Paul II called Mary the ?co-redemptrix? six times during his pontificate.
The role is always understood in complete dependency to Jesus and as a human
participant with the redeemer in the work of salvation.

When Blessed Pope Pius IX proclaimed the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception
as a dogma in 1854, he explained that a dogmatic statement would add greater
light and appreciation of the doctrine, leading to its ?perfection.? That?s what
this definition would do for Our Lady?s spiritual motherhood -- add nothing new,
but provide greater appreciation, understanding, and clarity of the existing
truth.

Q: Do you think that these functions of co-redemptrix, mediatrix, and advocate
within her general role as our spiritual mother may be too difficult for the
common person to comprehend?

Cardinal Aponte: On the contrary, I think, for example, that the faithful in
Latin America both comprehend this Marian doctrine in their hearts and already
experience these maternal roles of Mary in their lives. Once again, Our Lady of
Guadalupe embodies these motherly roles in a dynamic way, as a mother who
suffered with Jesus for us, a mother who comes to nourish us with the graces of
Jesus, and a mother who intercedes for us in our needs. That?s co-redemptrix,
mediatrix, advocate.

John Paul II, in his brilliance, always spoke of Our Lady?s mediation in terms
of her motherhood, using the expression ?maternal mediation.? What is more
common and understandable than a mother who suffers, nourishes, and pleads for
her people? That?s what Our Lady does for us as a spiritual mother. It is really
quite simple and already part of the daily experience of the Catholic faithful.
What may be challenging to some of the learned has already been revealed to the
little ones and accepted within the Church.

Q: The principal objection to this new Marian dogma seems to be ecumenism. Would
this papal definition hurt the Church?s critically important mission of
ecumenism in your view?

Cardinal Aponte: Mothers by their very natures and vocations are unifiers of
families. So, too, with the Mother of Jesus within the family of Jesus. The
Church?s mission of ecumenism is extremely important, but by leaving the Mother
out, we only impede our own progress toward eventual Christian unity in the one
body of Christ.

John Paul II made it clear in his encyclical on ecumenism, "Ut Unum Sint," that
authentic Catholic ecumenical activity could never include either compromise of
Catholic doctrine or impede proper doctrinal development, and this includes the
doctrine regarding Mary.

A solemn definition regarding Our Lady?s spiritual maternity would actually be a
giant step forward in ecumenism, as it would clearly distinguish what the Church
definitively teaches -- that Mary is not a goddess, that Catholics don?t place
Mary on a level of equality with Jesus her divine son, and that Mary as a human
participated in the historic act of redemption in a way absolutely and
completely dependent on Jesus. This would clear up a myriad of misunderstandings
amidst our non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters, leading to greater
dialogue and unity regarding Jesus? mother and within his body. This is true
ecumenism from a Catholic perspective.

At the time preceding the definition of the Assumption in 1950, the same
objections regarding ecumenism were raised to Pius XII. After the definition,
the Church experienced its greatest progress to date in ecumenism leading up to
the second Vatican council.

Mary is the Mother of the ecumenical movement, the Mother of unity, not is
obstacle. Let us give her the opportunity to unite us in ways only a mother can
by openly and proudly declaring her maternal roles of intercession for us. Just
think of how powerfully she could help us in the mission of Christian unity if
we solemnly invite her to intercede for this goal.

Divine Mercy Novena


Jesus further asked that this Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena of Chaplets to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday.  Say one chaplet each day following the novena intention. In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:

"On each day of the novena you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls. By this novena I will grant every possible grace to souls." (Diary 1209, 796)

First Day
"Today bring to Me All Mankind, especially all sinners and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me."

Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins, but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

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 strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind."

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

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.

Third Day
"Today bring to Me All Devout and Faithful Souls and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in the great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.

Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fourth Day
"Today bring to Me Those Who Do Not Believe In God and Those Who Do Not Yet Know Me. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy."

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your  wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which  is Your Most Compassionate Heart.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart  of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not  know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too,  may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fifth Day
"Today bring to Me the Souls of those who have separated themselves from My Church and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is My Church. As they return to unity with the Church My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion."

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your Own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Sixth Day
"Today bring to Me The Meek and Humble Souls and the Souls of  Little Children and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace I favor humble souls with My confidence."

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy, and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls and upon little children, who are enfolded in the abode of the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight you take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Seventh Day
"Today bring to Me The Souls Who Especially Venerate and Glorify My Mercy and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death."

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your Mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident in Your Mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.

Eighth Day
"Today bring to Me The Souls Who Are Detained in Purgatory and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only know the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice."

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated. 

Eternal Father, turn Your most merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded, manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.

Ninth Day
"Today bring to Me The Souls Who Have Become Lukewarm and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy."

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love let these tepid souls, who, like
corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love; and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen

1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.

2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

(Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).

4. Conclude with (three times):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

 

 

In 1933, God gave Sister Faustina a striking vision of His Mercy,
Sister tells us:

"I saw a great light, with God the Father in the midst of it.
Between this light and the earth I saw Jesus nailed to the Cross
and in such a way that God, wanting to look upon the earth, had to
look through Our Lord's wounds and I understood that God blessed
the earth for the sake of Jesus."

Of another vision on Sept. 13, 1935, she writes:

"I saw an Angel, the executor of God's wrath... about to strike
the earth...I began to beg God earnestly for the world with words
which I heard interiorly. As I prayed in this way, I saw the
Angel's helplessness, and he could not carry out the just
punishment...."

The following day an inner voice taught her to say this prayer on
ordinary rosary beads:

"First say one 'Our Father', 'Hail Mary', and 'I believe'. Then on
the large beads say the following words:

'Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement
for our sins and those of the whole world.'

On the smaller beads you are to say the following words:

'For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the
whole world.'

In conclusion you are to say these words three times:

'Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us
and on the whole world'.

Jesus said later to Sister Faustina:

"Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who
says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests
will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most
hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will
receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to
know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to
those who trust in My Mercy...."

"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I
will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just
judge but as the Merciful Savior".

Lent & Holy Week with Our Lady of Emmitsburg

Let us ponder this past Lent
and the coming
Holy Week Tridium
with
Our Lady of Emmitsburg

Ash Wednesday - It all began 6 weeks ago!

"He makes everything NEW...As sin is destroyed, each of you is renewed, just as a newborn child, totally dependent, innocent and pure." (OLOE, February 25, 2004 - Full Text...)

Holy Thursday - The institution of the Most Holy Eucharist. What does this mean for humanity?

In this new tomorrow I encourage you to look to my Son in the...Most Holy Eucharist. The Eucharistic Reign is one in which my Son comes to you.The most precious gift you have is my Son in the Most Blessed and Holy Eucharist, and I His Mother am right by His side." (OLOE, January 1, 2004 - Full Text...)

You do not know the great gift that Jesus my Son has left for you in the Most Holy Eucharist." (OLOE, June 13, 2004 - Full Text...)

Good Friday - What did Our Lady feel?

When my Son died on the Cross, my heart was torn from Him, and I was in shock. There was complete emptiness in me. I was numb. When I received my Son in my arms, all my emotion poured out; then there was nothing left in me. I wanted to die with Him. In my heart, I did; but I had to remain on this earth for you." (OLOE, April 15, 2007 - Full Text...)

Holy Week and the Glorious Resurrection
with
Our Lady of Emmitsburg

The Final Chapter - Don't miss this inspiring 9-minute video!...

Stations of the Cross - Beautifully done 13-minute video!...

Holy Saturday - The Easter Vigil

"All that you desire will be fulfilled within the one act of your 'fiat', as was in my 'fiat'. Your cross may be within your heart, interior. Your cross may be exterior and physical. Your cross may be psychological, emotional or spiritual. At whatever level it is, it is the true Cross; and the Resurrection and the Glory it brings is all encompassing and wipes out the past, making all anew!" (OLOE, April 15, 2006 - Full Text...)

Easter Sunday - What is the meaning of Easter?

"This is the meaning of Easter, little children. It is not only the Death and Resurrection of my Son, but the breadth and depth of His Love which He embraced for each one of you in order that you could be free and live with Him for all eternity; free from the chains of pain, misfortune, poverty, illness and the sin of death; free, happy and unequivocally His forever and ever." (OLOE, April 2, 1998 - Full Text...)
