“I am the Resurrected Jesus”

Reading: John 20:19-23

Dear friends,

“Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord.’” John 20:18

We will have Eucharistic Adoration at our church today at 5:00 p.m. for one hour. I will celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 this evening so our visitor, David Little, can attend.

I am getting ready to go to the Trappist Monastery in Rogersville, New Brunswick. I will give a retreat in French at the monastery itself starting Friday evening and ending Sunday at noon.

Today is the traditional day to celebrate the Annunciation but as it is during the Octave of Easter, the celebration of this great feast is transferred to March 31 this year.

I was in prayer early this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and God, and He said, “Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you.

I love all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I fill your hearts with joy during this Easter season as heaven and earth celebrate My Resurrection.

The Church has extended the celebration of the Feast of Easter for eight days and this period is called the Octave of Easter. After reliving My Passion and death on the cross, you need to rejoice with Me now that I am raised from the dead.

The Resurrection is a great event in the life of every Christian. Your faith is founded on the Resurrection, which I predicted three times before it happened.

The Apostles could not grasp it, as the Resurrection did not mean anything to them. They had never seen a person come back from the dead.

After I came back from the dead, I appeared to the Apostles for forty days in order to revive their faith and to teach them all they needed to know.

All you who believe in Me, I have given you all a special gift at Easter. I filled you with My joy. This joy is expressed in the word ‘alleluia.’ The more you say this word, the greater joy you will have in your heart. My Resurrection brought Me very close to each one of you.

I no longer live in one place in Israel but now I am present everywhere in every city or village in the world where there are people who believe in Me. I also live in your heart if you follow Me and cooperate with My grace.

I wish to remain forever in your heart so that we have a close and personal bond of love. Spend time in prayer with Me. I am the Resurrected Jesus who is your great friend. I love you.”

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 24, 2008

I am your Father who loves you

Reading: Matthew 28:16-20

Dear friends,

Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

Then go quickly and tell the disciples, He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Matthew 28:5-7

I spent Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday at St. Philip and St. James Church in Egmont Bay, P.E.I., except for Easter Vigil as I was at Mount Carmel Church a short distance from Egmont Bay. I stayed with a very nice family all the time I was there.

Today I will go to the Manor in Alberton to celebrate Holy Mass with the people who reside in this nursing home. When I get there I automatically look around to see my mother but of course she is gone.

Tomorrow I will have a visitor from New Brunswick. His name is David Little who is the President of the St. Thomas More Society of Canada, a non-profit organization to help save the unborn.

He has been fighting tax-funded abortions for many years. He will give a talk at St. Simon & St. Jude Church in Tignish on Monday, March 31, after the 7:00 p.m. Holy Mass. Everyone is welcome.

I wish you all a joyful Octave of Easter.

I was with God the Father this morning during my time of contemplative prayer. The Father said, Melvin, My son, I love you and bless you, together with all My sons and daughters throughout the world.

You are now in the time of Easter, a time of great joy at the resurrection of My dear Son, Jesus. You relived His Passion and death on the cross on Friday as He gave up His life for your salvation.

Melvin, He called you to join Him on the cross for one hour on the day of His supreme sacrifice, as He wanted to share with you His pain. Every year Jesus helps you to renew what you suffered of His Passion during your thirty-day retreat in Jerusalem.

Now Jesus is risen from the dead with His glorified body. He will not suffer any more. He is with Me in heaven where He sits at My right hand. He is your Lord and Saviour as He works for the salvation of all the people of the world.

All those who believe in Him and follow His teaching will be saved; however, those who reject Him and refuse to walk with Him will be condemned. Come, My dear sons and daughters, and believe in Jesus, My Son, and follow the Church He established on earth and you will one day be with Us in heaven.

You, who believe in Him, have been empowered to spread His message to all those you meet. Be a good example to all and cooperate with all the graces I give you.

I want all the men and women of the earth to hear about their Saviour so they may make the decision for or against Him. I provide you with all the good things you need for I am your Father who loves you.

Jesus' Resurrection

On Saturday I received the sacrament of Penance and went to the 8:00 A.M.
Mass at my parish, Our Lady of Sorrows.

Offering up The Sacraments for my
brother who is gravely ill, I also prayed for all with special needs and
intentions.

After receiving the Sacred Host, the body and blood of Christ, I knelt in
silent commune with Him.

Asking Him to please cover me with His most precious
blood and after giving thanks to Jesus I prayed; If it be Your will, speak Lord
for Your servant listens.

Again I saw the huge blue Cross but this time Jesus was nailed to it and
had expired!

I saw His spirit leave His body and immediately rise to heaven and
into the arms of His Father. We too must suffer our cross and be willing to lay
down our life for Jesus.

Discernment: Jesus reminds us that through His Crucifixion and death, we too
can rise after death and join the Holy Family in heaven.

Jesus reminds however,
His Father warns us that the time of grace is nearly over and we need to repent
for our sins and frequent the sacraments in order to remain in His saving grace!

SHARE IN HIS PASSION

EVEN THOUGH, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WHEN GOD YOU OFFEND,
HE STILL WILL CONTINUE TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
EVEN THOUGH THRU YOUR ACTIONS HIS HEART MAY BE BROKEN,
NOT ONE NEGATIVE WORD AGAINST YOU WILL BE SPOKEN.

IN SPITE OF YOUR FAILURES, GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH;
THERE IS NO LOVE GREATER, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THAN SUCH.
THOUGH YOU MAY CONSIDER YOURSELF AS A FAILURE,
MY SON SHED HIS BLOOD FOR YOU TO BE ALSO YOUR SAVIOR.

IF GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH, THEN YOU ASK WHY THE PAIN;
YOU MUST SHARE IN HIS PASSION SO GOD’S KINGDOM YOU’LL GAIN.
IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU’RE HELPLESS, AND PERHAPS THAT IS TRUE,
IT’S BECAUSE YOU IGNORE MY SON’S HAND THAT’S EXTENDED TO YOU

IF YOUR CROSSES WERE LIGHTER, WOULD YOU MORE PROGRESS MAKE,
OR WOULD YOU JUST TRAVEL FASTER FORGETTING WHAT IS AT STAKE?
HOW LONG DO YOU EXPECT MY SON FOR YOU TO WAIT
BEFORE YOU AGREE WITH HIM TO PARTICIPATE?

THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS MY SON LEFT IN THE SAND
WILL COMPLETE THE JOURNEY TO THE NEW PROMISED LAND.
THOUGH THE JOURNEY IS LONG AND MAY SEEM NEVER ENDING,
THE BANQUET GOD’S PREPARING YOU WILL SOON BE ATTENDING.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 26 - See How He Was Martyred

"The Hail Mary is completely impregnated both with a Trinitarian and a Eucharistic sense. The first words were dictated by the Father to the Angel when He sent him to announce the mystery of the Incarnation of the Word: `Hail [Mary] full of grace, the Lord is with thee.'

You are full of grace because in you dwells the fountain of grace, and also because of your union with the most Blessed Trinity. Moved by the Holy Spirit, St. Elizabeth said: `Blessed art thou among women, and Blessed is the Fruit of they womb [Jesus].'" (Sr. Lucia of Fatima)

"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. AMEN." (Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great)

Mother Teresa - "Say to all those going to Medjugorje: Pray to the Virgin of Medjugorje to give us the medicine to cure AIDS. I give thanks to Our Lady of Medjugorje. I know that many people go there and are converted.

I thank God for guiding us in this way at this period." Cardinal Kuharic - Primate of Croatia - "The Mother of God … as Queen of Peace has called in Medjugorje for conversion and peace… In her messages in the Church and in the world the Blessed Virgin Mary calls Jesus' call to awareness: "The time is fulfilled!" …

We want now to entrust, devote and consecrate ourselves to her, the Queen of Peace!" Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 22 p 25

Mother Teresa -

Let Jesus use you without consulting you, and you will be holy because you belong to Him.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
. Life is a Calvary; but we must climb it cheerfully. Crosses are the jewels of the Bridegroom and I am jealous of them. My sufferings are pleasing. I suffer only when I have nothing to suffer (CE, 22).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Faith is fathomless

"Faith in a human being is not like sawdust in a doll. You cannot rip it open, shake out the sawdust on a couch, analyze its tree origins, put it back and make a new creature."

St. Faustina's diary

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

When I make the Way of the Cross, I am deeply moved at the twelfth station. Here I reflect on the omnipotence of God's mercy which passed through the Heart of Jesus.

In this open wound of the Heart of Jesus I enclose all poor humans... and those individuals whom I love, as often as I make the Way of the Cross.

From that Fount of Mercy issued the two rays; that is, the Blood and the Water. With the immensity of their grace they flood the whole world.... (1309)

O my Jesus, now everything is clear to me, and I understand all that has just happened. I somehow felt and asked myself what sort of a poor man is this who radiates such modesty.

From that moment on, there was stirred up in my heart an even purer love toward the poor and the needy.

Oh, how happy I am that my superiors have given me such a task! I understand that mercy is manifold; one can do good always and everywhere and at all times.

An ardent love of God sees all around itself constant opportunities to share itself through deed, word and prayer. Now I understand the words which You spoke to me, O Lord, some time ago. (1313)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Mar 26 - SEE HOW HE WAS MARTYRED

Asked by the visionaries why she showed them heaven, Our Lady responded:

"I did so that you could see the happiness which awaits those who love God." During the same apparition, Jesus appears to the seers with injuries covering his body, wearing a crown of thorns.

The Virgin says: "Do not be afraid. It is my Son. See how he was martyred. But despite it all, he was joyful and endured all with patience.

(Then Jesus himself says:) See how I was wounded and martyred! But in spite of all, I have won the victory. My angels, you also be persevering in your faith and pray that you may overcome every obstacle (First Years November 2, 1981).

In his letter to the Romans, Paul speaks of Christ's blood as the price of our redemption and forgiveness:
For there is no distinction, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith…(Rom 3:22-25).

Reflection:
Paul speaks of the Passion and death of Christ as effecting two great miracles: redemption indicated the price paid to gain freedom for a slave (Lv25:47-54).

Through his death, Jesus paid the price to release us from slavery to sin. Forgiveness was granted in ancient Israel on the basis of the shedding of animals' blood in sacrifice (Lv17:11).

Now we are forgiven on the basis of the shedding of Jesus' blood, for he died as the perfect and final sacrifice.

The mystery of redemption holds the secret of unimaginable love, which can be penetrated only through prayer. Thus Jesus says today: "Persevere in your faith---and pray…."

Application:
Today, holding a crucifix in your hands, reflect of the love of Christ as expressed in his redemptive Passion and death.
